Melissa's Adventures in Scunderland

Riding The Mighty Enra

Chapter 6

 The sun lazily rose across the bright blue sky and some seagulls which were twice the size as the ones at home were squawking and making an Almighty racket, "SHUT THEM BLOODY SEAGULLS THE FUCK UP!" Melissa shouted from under her pillow, she rolled over and expected her king size bed to be empty, it however was not "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" Melissa reared back in surprise, a sudden calmness rushed over her as she saw Marina laying next to her looking ever so delicate, Melissa took this time to really study Marinas features, she noticed how her lips were of the cutest pink colour and they looked ever so full, she had flawless skin and it was so fair she looked almost like she was made out of paper, her hair always looked so perfect and neat even whilst sh was sleeping, Melissa's gaze soon fell downward, she noticed the night gown that Marina was wearing and how the silk shone in the morning sun, it almost made the dark dank room appear brighter.

Melissa pulled the blanket in closer, she was ever so cold, she noticed opposite on er bed was a dark wooden fireplace and she ventured over to see if she could work it and maybe have some heat, upon closer inspection she found it was a traditional gas fireplace, she flicked the switch and the light came on emitting a gentle heat Melissa found very very VERY nice on her skin, she climbed back into bed and just lay thee, recounting everything that had happened to her over the past couple of weeks, the training, the meeting of all these really cool well adjusted characters, battling monsters and killing spies, It all seemed so, so unlike her, Melissa liked her days to be filed with drink, parties, sex and more parties so this was a welcome break.

Marina began to stir next to her and her eyes flicked open and she let out a gentle yawn and stretch "Oh good morning Melissa" she said with a smile on her face "I hope you don't mind but I had a bad dream so I came In here, I did ask if I could lay next to you as I was frightened but you just farted so I took that as a yes, i hope that's OK?" Melissa was quite embarrassed by this but she was totally fine with it, in fact she was more than fine with it she loved it, "Of course it's fine" she grinned from ear to ear, they sat In bed chatting and conversing about their lives and experiences.

It soon reached noon and they decided it would be best to get dressed and see if the others were awake and if any were about, they ventured into the corridor, the smell of dirt and coal filled the air, they went up to Jama and Sofa's room and knocked upon the big black door three times, a grunting and shuffling noise came from the other side and Jama who had clearly woken up looking tired, confused and had his eyes closed, "WHATDYAWANT?" he grumbled loudly, Melissa and Marina were taken aback by Jama's sudden morning attitude, Sofa appeared behind him, her hair seemed to have increased in volume and her make up was smeared across her face "Hi guys, we will be out soon oh and Torn Is downstairs by the way" she reached over Jama's shoulder and closed the door, Melisa and Marina went downstairs and saw Torn sat In a large dark armchair by the roaring fire, he was reading some large old book which Melissa had no interest in finding out what It was about, they both came and sat opposite him on a really musty green couch, "What ya reading?" Marina asked, before Torn could reply Melissa tuned out and focused on something else, their muffled voices playing in te background of her mind.

She took this time to really study Torn as well, she looked at his olive coloured skin and his dark hair that sprouted from underneath his large brown pointed wizards hat, his ears were pierced and he had a spacer in which Melissa found to be gross and unsightly, she noticed how skinny Torn was and how he could barely fill out the robe that he wore, the robe which was a dark reddish brown and very patchy, it had two deep pockets either side of it, which he carried all his magical supplies, vials of coloured powder, odd smelling liquids and Melissa's favorite,  a flask of cider.

She started to listen again as she knew there conversation was ending soon, "Melissa!" Torn spoke with hushed tones, Melissa looked round and saw that Torn was handing her the big book, reluctantly she grabbed It and oh my god was It heavy, and it smelt of dust "Oh fuck bai, that's a heavy load!" Melissa grunted, "I know, It's full of old spells and instructions on how build these really cool devices like..." Melissa zoned out again occasionally nodding to look like she was interested, "Also there's a section in here about this very port and here's the part you'll find interesting, there's an island of shore detailed i the map, yet in the book there's no such thing, but it tells of a legendary island which used to be home to a king and queen but they angered some od and he destroyed the island and according to legend the couple were never seen again!" "OMG WOW, NO WAY, THAT'S AWESOME THAT FACT YOU JUST TOLE ME,wow no way" Melissa shouted, "And why would we find that interesting Torn?" Marina asked, "well because that island was supposedly home to the evil Empress at one stage and there was supposed to be a door on the island which led to the servants tunnel connecting her home to the palace she lives at now which is invisible now thanks to her cloaking spell she put on the area"

Melissa who started listening again was intrigued, Marina looked really happy (as usual) and Torn looked super proud of himself, It was at this point that Jama and Sofa came down the stairs, ordered two cups of Bucksfest, the strogets and most vile dink ever produced, some call it the tramps piss, others call it life's elixir, Jama called it a cheap way to have a drink.

As Torn fled Jama ad Sofa in on the news and propose the idea of finding this island using Chadworsths map and looking for the door, "Hmm It's a risky and bold move with no guarantee that the door or island will eve exist, but the wrie hasn't got much else so It's of to the island w go!" he threw the cup away and scrunched his face up with the vile taste.

After they had all packed their belongings and gathered outside, the went looking for a ship, after unsuccessfully looking for one at such short notice Marina had an idea, "I'll just ask m dad to make us one" she rushed to the water and jumped in, after a minute or so she climbed back out dry as a bone and smiled "I got us one!" tney all cheered as a massive ship emerged out of the deep ocean and sailed to the port, where they all rushed on and followed the appropriate measures to set the ship of and keep it going, they were travelling at some speed, Jama was at the wheel and had a pirates hat on, "hey did you steal that from Chadsworth?" Marina asked "Um no, I found it below deck!" Jama lied, "Oh OK cool" she looked at Jama's hands and noticed he was moving the steerin wheel, she laughed 2Why are you doing that? you do know my father is controlling the currents to send us to the island at a great speed?" Jama was disheartened, he wanted to be a pirate and thought he was dong a good job, "No I din't know that!" he let go of the wheel and nothing happened, he went below deck and wasn't seen for the rest of the journey.

"Oh Marina!" Melissa shouted from across the ship, "What's the name of this ship anyway?" Marina's eye lit up, "It's called 'The Enra' I named It after my mother" she jumped and clapped her hands with excitement, Melissa laughed "I'd love to meet them someday, maybe before I go" Marina's eye went even wider and she ran to Melissa and with great excitement exclaimed "YOU CAN MEET MY FATHER NOW!" she ran to the side of the boat and screamed "DADDY, COME HERE!!!" Melissa was shocked and confused.

A great white foam gathered by te side of the boat and a large blue squirt of water shot out of the foam and landed on the deck, where an tall man with bright red hair a sassy flair and a fabulous attitude and the most beautiful dark blue jewel encrusted robe on Melissa had ever seen, "Melissa, this Is my father King Daniellllll of all the 9 seas" Melissa couldn't help but bow as the majesty of this man was unbeknownst to anything Melissa had ever encountered "Raise young one, Marina's friends need not bow to me" "Daddy, this Is Melissa, she's my new Best friend and we are all gong to kill the empress" Marina explained  "Ah yes, i've heard a lot about you Melissa" the King laughed, Melissa blushed "Let's go meet the rest of your little crew shall we?" the king motioned them all below deck, the king went down first and Marina was so happy an excited she accidentally grabbed Melissa's hand and squeezed, Melissa squeezed back.
