Mariana

Chapter 4

I have the hold of my life, no one should dictate me

IV - Destination

"You've sank our ship, Mariana." Pegasus said while keeping ahold of his self from drowning. Of course he knows how to swim.

Mariana frowned. "The undead occupied it." She let out a deep breath and spoke, "Alright. I'll take it again."

With one movement, their ship that sank resurfaced. There were no signs of the undead. Mariana drained the left-over water of the ship.

When everything's back to normal, they climbed up into the ship.

"Ha! I thought we would die there," Chrysaor remarked.

Mariana glared at him. "Yeah, we would've. Thanks to you."

"Okay, that's enough. Chrysaor, check the sails if everything is okay." Pegasus butted in.

Chrysaor being an obedient brother, gladly did what Pegasus ordered him to do so. He smiled apologetically to Mariana before leaving.

When Mariana and Pegasus are alone, Pegasus smiled at her. He's having a worried face.

"You look pathetic," Mariana commented on his expression.

"I know," he answered. "Mariana, I'm sorry. Having a sister is kind of new to me and Chrysaor. We don't know how to approach and to make you feel comfortable. But we are trying our best. Please don't reprimand Chrysaor for his mistakes. You know, he may be what they called the greatest warrior second to Ares, he still have no common sense."

Mariana's in awe of everything that Pegasus said. She don't know how to react. If she's going to be happy for the apology or is she going to be sad for Chrysaor.

"Hey brother, I heard that!" Chrysaor yelled while in the crow's nest. He smiled and waved to the two.

Mariana, looking at his directions just nod in no reason. "Yeah, you're right. I do believe that he hasn't have his common sense into bloom yet. For now, I'll forgive him. How many miles do we still need to sail to reach the Foroi Woods? Wait, is that even a thing?"

"Yeah, it is. I guess we still need to travel for about three days to reach Foroi."

Mariana gaped in shock. "What?! Are you sure?" Pegasus nodded in response.

"It's long. What are we even gonna do with three days ahead of us?"

"There are a lot of fun things here," Chrysaor remarked.

Mariana rolled her eyes upon hearing her brother's remark. "Yeah, like shouting at phantom ships." She sarcastically said.

Chrysaor just smiled awkwardly. He can't fight his sister with words. He knows for sure that he will definitely lose.

"I know it's my fault. I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Let's just leave it at that," Mariana replied. "I really can't verify if there's such place as Foroi forest. Like we are in the middle of nowhere right now."
