Chapter 61: "Cities and Missions"

Teiro's point of view

THE STRONG storm passed without harming our trip. Maayos na ang paglalayag namin kinabukasan at sabi ni Pheris, mahigit kalahating araw na lang ang hihintayin namin bago tuluyang marating ang East continent.

The Blue Sea is helping us with the ship's speed, kaya mas mabilis kaming makakahabol kapag nagpatuloy ang ganito.

As soon as I woke up from bed, ramdam ko na agad ang gutom. Bumangon ako't nagpakalinga-linga sa paligid at napansing ako na lang ang natira sa higaan ko. I stroded up towards the upper deck at nagulat na nasalo ang tinapay na ibinato ni Shadow sa 'kin.

"Magandang umaga, Vice-captain," - he greeted me while he's comfortably sitted on a barrel beside a wooden pole. "Did you slept well?"

I begun eating the bread, piece by piece. "You know I have a lot of things inside my mind, so why can I sleep well at this time?"

He nodded before jumping up to a rope right above him. "I see. Well, sorry for that stupid question."

"It's okay."

"I'll just stand watch for a while in case something comes up." he informed before climbing up to the top of the pole where a group of seagulls with three rounding horns on their heads, flying with the wind.

I thought they're dangerous but it turns out they're harmless. Except if threatened.

"Aw! Aw! Aw! Aw!"

Then suddenly Nerfius' loud barkings reverberated along with the waves kaya't taka ko itong tiningnan. It's on a high place from this deck at nakatingala sa mga ibon. What's it doing? Looks like it's taunting the birds above.

Nagpatuloy ang ginagawa nito't pati si Pheris at Harmony ay naiingayan na rin. I approached the dog and was about to scold it pero isa sa mga seagulls sa itaas ay biglang bumulusok papunta kay Nerfius with a thunderbolt energy starting to emerge on its horns, kaya't sa gulat ko, kaagad kong nahugot ang isa kong dagger at naipabulusok salubong sa leeg ng ibon.

It was already headless when it drops on the floor. Level 15 ang seagull na 'yon kaya't malaki-laki rin ang nakuha kong exp. "Look what you've done! Naghahanap ka ba ng--" - Nerfius is already out of my sight when I returned my gaze at him.

Napansin ko na lang na dala-dala na ng bibig nya ang meat drop ng napatay na ibon and it drops the meat right next to the floor edge kung saan naka-prenteng umuupo si Leonidas sa wood rail. His lips curved up as soon as he noticed the thing on his side. "Good job, Nerfi. Go fetch me more." he said and then it came back barking to the unknowing birds once again.

Inuutusan pala nya itong manghuli. Napansin naman ako ni Leonidas na nakatayo lang kaya't napakunot ang noo nito. "You daydreaming out there? Gusto mo ba ng unan?"

"Cut the crap joke, captain." I replied. Naupo ako sa wood rail katabi nya. Side-position ang pagkakaupo nya ro'n kaya't diretso nya akong natitingnan ngayon habang ako'y kailangan pang gumilid ng tingin sa kanya. "Ayos ka lang?"

"Paano ako magiging ayos nito? I lost my companion from my own watch at ngayon, I don't know where exactly to find it as soon as we land ashore." may lungkot at paghihinayang ang tono ng aking pagsasalita. Hindi ko maiwasang mapa-buntonghininga na lang habang iniisip ang pagka-pagiging pabaya ko.

"We'll not track them blind, we'll trace every little steps they make para lang mahanap kaagad ang nag-kidnap sa pusang 'yon."

I gazed above with the all-blue sky. "Sana nga may ma-trace tayong kahit kunting clue sa mga paa nila."
