Third Person P.O.V

The bells over Castle Whiterock ring out, signaling the arrival of a hunting ship. Townspeople clamor about, soldiers standing along the wall and staring at the Inevitable in awe and shock at the sight of the Red Bluster being pulled along behind it.

The netting between the land lowers, allowing the ship to pass through and into the waters leading to Castle Whiterock. Crow stands at the front of the ship holding his lance, trench coat swaying in the misty breeze. Sarah stands on the side as the crew bustle around her, her eyes settled on the people as they sail past them.

Townsfolk had gathered along the sidelines, all exclaiming in awe as they watch the Bluster.

"Crow's done it! He's got the Bluster!" a young boy laughs in excitement, pointing at the beast as he tugs on the bottom of his father's shirt.

...

(Y/N) rams her shoulder against the locked door, Maisie attempting to open the window. The window was locked from the outside, as well as the door.

(Y/N) grumbles a few string of curses under her breath as she slams her hand against the door with a scowl, Maisie rushing over and bracing her hands on the door as she pushes with straining grunts.

...

Jacob walks along the deck, pausing at the bottom of the steps leading up as he glances back towards the cabin Maisie and (Y/N) were locked in. Confliction was swirling in his eyes, but he squeezes them shut and forces himself to turn away as he continues up the steps. He slowly approaches Crow, who was watching the white, blue and gold castle in the distance as the Inevitable nears.

"The whole world will know what we've done, me boy," Crow proudly speaks, turning to Jacob. "This ship, your ship, will live on. Even without (Y/N)."

His words cut through Jacob, his face paling a bit as he looks away, feeling sick at the thought of a life without (Y/N).

...

A familiar blue creature raises his head from the water, a croak leaving him as he looks up at the ship sailing in front of him. Blue squeaks as he looks back at Red, lightly huffing as he leaps into the air, diving back into the water.

Blue swims downward and along the ship, leaping out of the water with a yelp. He grabs onto the lower side of the ship that was out of sight of the crew on board, pulling himself up with a coo.

He perks up with a head tilt as he bounces forward, grabbing onto the side of the ship and scaling upwards towards the window. Rearing his head back, Blue bites onto the closed window.

...

Maisie gasps in alarm as the window was roughly opened, (Y/N)'s arm raising out in front of her on instinct as she turns to the window with a glare. Their expressions both light up at the sight of Blue, who was currently holding the entire window panel in his mouth.

He splutters as he drops the window, smiling with his tongue out as he croaks.

"Blue?!" (Y/N) says in disbelief, a short laugh leaving her.

"Blue!" Maisie cries out joyously, racing to the window and grabbing him in a tight hug as she giggles.

She turns to (Y/N), holding Blue out for her to pet.

"Let's see a cat do that!" Maisie smugly says as (Y/N) pets Blue, making her chuckle.

"Open the gate!"
