Still Alive

IX

"No..."
"NOOOOO!!!!!!" I shouted as me and Connor arrived at the ship.

The ship is half wrecked. And, we found...

Boriz's dead body.

Blood coming out from his entire body.

His eyeballs are gone.

So... sadistic.

Around his body, there are several bodies of the creatures. The ones that survived must've swim away.

"Boriz?! BORIZ!!! WAKE UP!!" I shouted.
"Let him go, Captain."

"I can't believe it. He fought them alone. To protect the ship so we can get out from this wicked place." I said while crying.
"I know. He sacrificed himself for us." Said Connor.

"I don't want anyone to sacrifice themselves for me!" I shouted.
"Crust and Boriz just wanted you to reach your final destination. They want you to finish what we all started. And someday, if we are stucked, I will do it too."
"No. Don't."
"Why?"
"I don't want to celebrate this alone.." I cried.
"But Crust and Boriz had already do it."
"That's because they took the consequences. Even if they know that the consequences are too high."

"There are no victory without sacrifices."

"Aarrgghh!!! C'mon, let's leave this wicked place. Forget the ruins. But, I know what those are." I said.
"You know? What?" Asked Connor.
"The ruins are remainings of Atlantis."

"Atlantis?! The city that sank years ago?!"
"Yes. But now, this discovery is useless without Crust and Boriz. Forget Atlantis."
"But they must've wanted you to show this to the world. They will be proud of you." Said Connor.
"I don't want to. Now, let's get out of here. Are the generators are working?"
"Not fully working, but they can still move the ship. I already wrapped them with plastics so the magnets around us won't be a threat anymore."
"Good."

"Where are we going now?" Asked Connor.
"Home. We're going home."

"What?! Not Heaven Lagoon?" Asked Connor.
"No. I am not trusting those places anymore."
"Hmm.. okay. Are there any dangerous places on the route?"
"I hope not. Oh wait..." I answered.
"Any?" Asked Connor again.
"Sadly, yes."
"What is it?"
"Hydra Island."

"Can we go around that place?"
"No. That's the only route."
"Okay."

"There it is. Hydra Island. I heard that it is a place for-"
"Hydra." I said.

Hydra. A beast with 5 heads and long necks. Spits fire. How to defeat it? Well, you fight fire with fire. Cut off one of it's head then burn it quickly. Before it grows back two.

"Sail through the edges of the island." I said.
"I'll try." Answered Connor.
"I want to have some rest first."
"Do what you want."
Before I entered my room, I said to Connor.

"Connor?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"Stay alive. Please." []
