A Journey of Faith and Destiny

Chapter 4

"He who lets the sea lull him into a sense of security is in very grave danger. " ~ Hammond Ines

Dawn broke the next morning, the call of seagulls at the window woke Destiny. She sprung from her bed as if she was never asleep. The town was already bustling with fishermen getting ready to sail out. The sound of merry men boomed through the quiet town.

Destiny couldn't help but become excited with the sounds as it reminded her of her time as a fisherman. All be it only for an afternoon...but if she hadn't gotten that job she wouldn't have met her new family. She grabbed her bag of valuables, making sure no one tried stealing her stuff. Once she was ready she exited the inn, walking to the docks.

That psychic better be there or I'm going to leave her on the shore. Destiny thought to herself as she boarded her boat, hearing a "wait up!" from a distant voice. Faith was running down the dirt road, a large bag in her hand and one slung on her back. Destiny jumped back off her boat to help her new friend on board. Grabbing the bags as she approached she lightly tossed them onto the ship before getting back on herself.

"You actually decided to come with me?" Destiny asked as she pulled Faith onto the boat. The psychic gave a small happy nod before grabbing her bags again putting them in the captain's quarters. Destiny pulled up the anchor and hoisted the sail.

"Where are we going to next Captain?" Faith said as she exited the quarters. Destiny looked at her with an odd expression. There was an awkward silence between them.

"You don't have to call me Captain, Destiny is fine." Destiny reassured her before heading to the wheel. She pulled a map from her pocket, trying to find where she was and where to go next.

"Have you ever been to Bazaar Island?" She asked as the ship began moving. "It's not that far from here and it has tons of shops." There was some stuff she needed to continue this adventure as she now had to have enough stuff for two people.

Faith only ever heard about the island and was curious about it. She closed her eyes and began having a vision. It was in her eyes, Destiny was chasing someone. Her voice was muffled but it was clear she was robbed. The vision ended as soon as Destiny left her eyesight, it caused her to fall to the floor...
