Thank you for all the votes and comments. :) ~Heza-chan

I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw land on the horizon. Mavis couldn't either.

"Yuri! Yuri! I spotted land," she cheered before turning to me and Zera, "I'm looking forward to walking around town! I can't wait! I wonder what kind of place it is!"

"Quit carrying on," Yuri told her, "with the tide, we should arrive in an hour."

She nodded before gazing back at the horizon. This would be the first town Zera, Mavis and I encountered since leaving Tenroujima. It was very excited but scary at the same time. I couldn't wait to see the different sites.

After an hour, we finally arrived. Once the ship sailed up to a dock, Warrod jumped off the deck with a rope the was connected to the ship. He began to tie it to the dock.

"What are you doing there," Mavis asked.

"Tying what's called a bowline knot," he answered.

"Bowline knot?"

"Well, I make a loop and tighten it so the ship doesn't drift away," he explained.

"I see. You're good at that. I haven't read any books about ships so I don't know anything about them," Mavis turned to Yuri, "can you do that too, Yuri?"

"Don't ask," he quickly answered.

Warrod chuckled, "well, there's your answer."

Mavis looked confused, "why can't I ask him?"

Zera sighed, "it means he can't do it."

"Oh," I turned to Yuri, "you can't do it..."

Yuri looked away in embarrassment, "never mind. Let's disembark."

He put down a ramp so we could safely get off the ship. Mavis quickly went down it.

"I'm first," she cheered before taking a deep breath and looking around, "this is a town...The first new town I've ever seen!"

Zera walked down the ramp, "hey, you're holding up the line."

Mavis moved from the ramp letting her off, "sorry."

I then went down the ramp, "this is so cool. Oh and Mavis," she looked up at me, "you're not the first off the ship," I pointed to Warrod, "he got off first, right?"

She looked at Warrod who grinned, "oh, that's right."

Once everyone was off the ship, we walked off the dock to the edge of the town.

"This is amazing," Mavis commented.

Zera moved slightly behind me, "i...it's so crowded..."

I smiled at her, "it'll be alright, Zera."

"Look," Mavis pointed at a man with fish, "a fisherman!"

"I wonder if he's good at catching fish," Zera mumbled.

Mavis ran off to an outdoor fruit store and picked up a weird-looking fruit, "I've never seen this before!"

Zera and I followed her. We held our nose.

"But it smells horrible!"

We went to another shop that sold necklaces. Mavis put one on.

"Look at this, Zera! It's so beautiful!"

Zera glanced at the owner, "he'll get mad at you for putting it in without asking."

Mavis quickly put the necklace. We then went to a cart that held flowers.
