The 3 of you blaze out of there on Tuk-Tuk's back, he rools through the canyons towards a town.He quickly barrel toward a low hanging rock.
"Jump!"You jump off of Tuk Tuk bearly dodging the rock, you all land back on Tuk Tuk."Who was that guy?" Sisu asks."That's Namaar. He's the backstabbing binturi that broke the world." Sisu looks back at you asking if it's true. You nodded, she looks past you to see Namaar still following "Wow, those cats are really fast, huh?"
Rayan looks back and sees that Namaar and his soldiers are all now coming closer to you with their Serlots.
He looks back ahead and notices a boat docked in a port. An idea crosses his mind."What do cats and Druun have in common?" He asks"Um... they have no... souls!" Sisu happly replied. You laughed and shook your head. "AND they both hate water." You say pointing at the river."Oh..."
"Hold on!" Rayan yells
Tuk-Tuk falls into the water.Frustrated at being outmaneuvered. Namaar reroutes his soldiers in pursuit.Rayan, Tuk-Tuk, Sisu and you leap onto the shrimp ship. "Hello?! Is anybody here?" Rayan aks imidently.Suddenly a child pops up behind Rayan and shoves chairs under your legs, he throws a pop-up table in front of you,
and slides up with a napkin over his fore-arm. "Welcome to the world famous Shrimporium.My name is Boun, I'll be your server today. Would you like to hear our daily specials?""Yes please! " sisu replied getting herself comfortable. Boun smiled to himself "We got shrimp. We got congee. We got a shrimp congee that won't quit." He leans close to you showing you the menu.
You push the menu away. "The captain. Where is the captain? " You aks and he smiles again."Lemme go get him!" He walks to the other
side of the table. "What's up, my new customers, I'm Captain Boun, the owner, chef, and Chief Financial Officer of the Shrimp-orium. How can I help you?"Boun starts doing some little dances."Well, I'm Sisu and -"
Rayan looks over the side of the ship, sees Serlots nearing."And we need to get to Talon. NOW." Rayan speaks still glaring at Namaar."I'm sorry, the Shrimp-orium is not
a water-taxi."You hold out blocks of jade in front of Boun, who looks at it in disbelief "Toi! That's alotta jade!"
You push half of it in his hands.
"Half now, half when we arrive in Talon. Deal? " You and him share a smile."Clasp onto your congee, today's
special is. To-go." He speaks smugly.
Tuk-Tuk is about to take a bite when his food is yanked away. With a great flourish, Boun pushes the boat away with a long pole. But it floats at a snail's pace. Rayan sees Namaar and Serlots in the distance, approaching fast."Uh... Captain Boun? Does this thing
go any faster? " He aks nervously.
"Whoa, you didn't tell me Fang was
after you! This is gonna cost you extra!"
Boun speaks realising why you've been so pushy."Don't worry, I got it!"Sisu leaps into the water, and transforms back into her dragon form. "What is she doing?"
Boun asks as you all look down at water. You covered His eyes as Sisu grabs the bottom of the boat and starts swinging her tail. As she does, the shrimp-ship starts moving down the river at a steady speed.Rayan, Boun, Tuk-Tuk and you are yanked back."What is happening?" Boun asks looking at the water
"Our friend is a really strong
swimmer." Rayan replied.Namaar and his Serlots reach the riverbank. They watch as the boat motors away. "Bye bye, binturi!" You waved. Namaar seethes.
"Prince Namaar. If they're after
gem pieces, their next stop would
be Talon." One of His soliders says
"We're not following them to Talon.
We're going back to Fang. I need to
speak with Chief Virana"The shrimp boat steadily floats down the murky waters of the once
Kumandran river. Sisu meanwhile enjoys swimming alongside the ship. She dives deep into the water and effortlessly glides through the fish
and vegetation in the riverbed, taking in what she's missed out on for the past few centuries.Rayan leans over the side of the boat, panicking that Sisu has disappeared below the water's surface."Sisu? Sisu?"
Sisu swims up to the surface
"Ah..." she speaks enjoying herself
"Please. Get out of there!"Sisu however continues to swim.
"I'm a water dragon. This is water.
It's sorta my thing. You wanna come in? "
Rayan follows sisu as she swims arou the boat, he leans closer yl her and whispers. "Someone could see you.""Oh. Do you mean "Captain Pop and
Lock" over there? What, are you
scared he's gonna challenge me to a
dance battle?"Boun bangs on the pots and pans to make a beat. You awkwardly smile to cover Rayan talking to Sisu at the side of the ship."Sisu, I saw people lose their minds
over a dragon gem. Can you imagine
what they'd do over an actual
dragon? Look, we need you to make
this all work. Until we have all the gems, you have to stay human. Please.""Wow. You've really got some trust
issues." Sisu stares at him as she comes closer to the ship
"Look, my father blindly trusted
people and now he's stone."
Sisu jumps onto the boat as a human."Hey. We'll get your ba back. I got
you, girl. Come on. Who's your
dragon? I mean human. Because I'm
gonna be human until - yeah, you
get it."Bowls suddenly fall onto a table. As Boun once again shows chairs under your legs."Okay! who's hungry?"
"Ooo, I am!" Sisu Excitingly answered and you nodded in agreement.Boun ladles congee into each bowl.
"Three house specials!"
She spins a bottle of hot sauce in his hand. "How spicy would you like it? Hot, hotter, orBoun goes the dynamite?""Bring on the heat!" You smile at sisu and grabbed a bottle of spice, but However as you're about to pour the spice Rayan snatched your bowl. You glared at him clearly Pissed off.
"Yeah, no, no... I don't think so.""What are you doing?" You warn while trying to get the bowl back. Rayan leans closer to you and Sisu.
"We don't know him. It could be
poisoned.""Why would he poison us?"Sisu asks.
"He's a child" You roll your eyes at him.
"Yeah, why would I poison you??" Boun speaks up, he was offended.
"First, to get my jade purse.
Second, to steal my sword. And
third- I don't know- to kidnap my Tuk-Tuk.""All good points, but if this is poison..."
He slurps some of his congee.
"You're gonna die happy.""Yeah, thanks but, we've got our own
eats."Rayan takes out his own jackfruit jerky and rips a piece off with his teeth. It's hard, leathery, not very good. Rayan hands some to Sisu but finds her gulping down the congee with you eating as well. "This is delicious!"You pointed at the food, smirking
"Not. Poison." You answer as suddenly Sisu holds your arm tightly "It's hot- IT'S REALLY HOT! Water! Boun? Captain Boun? We need water on deck!" You laughed as Boun gave sisu her water.Namaar and his soldiers ride through a field full of stone dragons.This moment has more meaning to him than to the rest of soldiers. As his soldiers leave Namaar stops and bows respectfully.
