Leyland Adventures Chapter Thirteen: Part Sixteen

"Tysashi...can you hear me?"

"Yeah, I can."

"When are you coming home, my heart aches knowing you're not here."

"I don't know when I'll be back, but I've gotten a good number of gemstones. I just need you to hold on a little bit longer."

"I'm trying, me and the others are. Each day, the pain intensifies as it gradually evolves into a pool of depression in which we all drown. Soon, all of Lenovo will drown."

"Nya...I promise you guys won't have to wait much longer. Thank you all for staying strong for me, I'll make sure to keep fighting for you all."

"Please be safe out there, honey. Please~

Lazily opening his eyes, Tysashi turned to see Aradressa sleeping beside him, sending soft snores from her mouth.

His eyes examined her relaxed body, listening to the slight mumbles she sang to herself as her body jerked. He heard his name sprout from her mouth, and suddenly her subtle movements made more sense.

"I'll be fine, Aradressa. You don't have to worry about anything." He ran his fingers through each individual thread of her hair.

Exiting the room and making his way to the lobby, he was halted by Alfred.

"Have you eaten or drank anything before you decided to leave?"

"No, I wasn't hungry or thirsty, but thanks for asking. Did you stop me just to ask that?"

"Not quite, I came to offer my ability to you. If you recall my elemental category, I can teleport you to the docks of Kanpoi's Edge, skipping the fatiguing walk."

"Whoa, really? Thanks!" He cheered.

"Do keep in mind I'm not a teleportation machine, I expect to be treated the same before I told you about this ability."

"Why, of course! I wouldn't do that to you, Alfred! I can't even think about treating you like that." He stated, hoping he'd believe his words.

"Just assuring we're on the same page. Trust here in Leyland is like walking on a thin rope while another person keeps it steady; they could let go at any moment. Ignore the fact we're fairies, though. Now hold still."

A gray field surrounded him, levitating off the floor. Suddenly, his body was no longer in front of Alfred.

As Mr. Dell had his boat sitting on the water, he gazed upon the bedazzling stars. Their beauty reminded him of his wife, who he sacrificed his time with for Tysashi. As a breath of possible regret ran from his lungs, Tysashi abruptly appeared before the humongous boat.

"Ack, Tysashi! I didn't know you'd teleport here." He jumped, soon easing himself.

"Sorry, I was gonna walk here, but teleportation was offered. Anyway, nice boat!"

"Oh, you like it? It's really just like the others, just bigger. See the lights on the side, that's what we'll be using for protection. Now get up here so we can get started."

Without a sweat, he leaped onto the boat, prepared to begin the voyage.

"Alright, Tysashi. This boat has all the necessary equipment to fend off Shallows. If one is detected, grab one of those javelins and throw them as hard as you can. Their skin is sponge-like, so you'll always do effective damage. Be on your guard, I'll be checking the sonar constantly. Finally, I'll try to make this entire experience as unwavering as possible, but that's only possible if you do your part. With all that being said, are you ready?" His purple eyes locked onto him, noticing a steady smile on his face.
