We all proceed to our respective rooms with our names sticks by the door. Room kind of look like a standard cabin, our luggage is already waiting for us lined on the wall with a double bed next to it and a bed laying on window, which is all glass and closed, and a girl already resting in it with a book on her hand.
"I am Zurie McGuire, and you both can have the big bed. Feel comfortable." she said
We place ourselves on the bed, stretching to our heart content and heaving tired sighs
"I wonder when will we be served dinner, its almost 9. I am kind of hungry." I sigh
"Oops, there will be no dinner in the ship." Chimes Zurie
"Err, why?" Asks Kiyara
"Not allowed."
"Yes why?" I press
"Because the seas are dangerous so no one carries eatable." She replies looking puzzled.
"Ahh! Seas are dangerous but why? And if seas are dangerous then why are we sailing and why only no food policy?" questions Kiyara.
"Sirens." Saying that one word she looks at us; we both must look strange as she explains us what a siren is "You know, a sea monster?"
"Yes" Kiyara responded. "No" I flat toned, to which I earned a slide glare from her.
"Okay, that is weird but, sirens are sea monsters that lure humans and eat them, though they are very beautiful with beautiful voice." She explains while putting her book down and sitting cross leg.
"Oh!!!! so they are hungry monsters who eat food too." I smug
"So, you are dumb, it's alright. This cruise is special; it just doesn't exist for sirens so do the people aboard too." She states
"So, we are on a ghost ship." I said
"Spare me, in simple words sirens can't detect this ship so the people on board are also undetectable for them. But the smell or aroma of anything eatable can be detected even on the ship as sirens have very good sense of smell." She explains
"In short having food on the ship will alert the sirens and they will get to know about us, and will come for us. Am I right?" asks Kiyara.
"Exactly." replies Zurie
"You are trying to tell us a bed time story or something?" I mock.
"Are you crazy or what? Do I look a fictional old lady story teller to you?"
"No, but what you just said is quite fictional." I shrug my shoulders.
"Where did you come from, oh wait, do you have something eatable with you?" She asks.
"No." responds Kiyara
"Yes, I do, just some ch-chips." I stutter
"Oh, my Lord!!!!!! We are doomed, what have you done?" She gulps "I don't even know if we have the Primes on board. What if Nora is the only one who is present? Do we have any more Paladins apart from her? Can Keepers handle the situation? What to do, what to do, what to do?" She panics.
"Hey you are scaring me, please stop panicking." I plead.
"Of course, you should be scared; you risked the life of everyone on board." She agitated
The cruise tremors and we fall from our beds, our luggage merged with each other's, it feels like an earthquake of 9 scale vector, and a voice emerge on speakers
'All captains to the stations; the students are advised to stay in their cabins. I repeat all captains to the station and students to stay inside their cabins.'
"Crap, we have been hit." Zurie mumbles
"Hey, wh-what is hap-happening? I cough
"You, give it to me. Give those chips to me, like, RIGHT NOW." She roars
As soon as I hand the chips over to her, she dashes out of the room and throws the eatables out of the window and rushes back in. I do not know why she did that for me but she clearly hid it from anyone knowing the truth. After few moments cruise stabilises and we all breathed life.
"You really are an idiot with a danger magnet." Explodes Kiyara
Those two were cursing me and my whole attention is concentrated outside the window as I am reclined on the door because of the shaking. There is a fire work outside not exactly the fire work but something sparkled in the night sky, something like a blast of golden and silver dust and then disappeared; few moments later a voice on the speakers:
'Situation is contained; I request all to relax and a safe trip ahead'
"Say Zurie, what could a fire work mean?" I ask
"Fire work?"
"There was some sort of fire work outside, kind of golden and silver sparkles with some indigo." I report
"Oh! That must be Prime then, and probably the snarky one. All thanks to you another heroic act leapt in his baggage, his markings are going to go up."
"What is a Prime?" I ask
"You will know soon, but let's just thank him for this one." Said Zurie
Why do I feel that he is the same one from dock? Why do I feel sad as if there is a heavy burden on my chest, I feel like crying? I do not know what this is, but I really want to reach out to him.
