The three of them flew on the Northwest direction where the signal on Zach’s wristwatch is pointing. At habang nasa himpapawid sila Aria smells a scent familiar to her nose. At hindi sya pwedeng magkamali she’s so sure that it is Zach’s blood. Yes, she has short-term memory loss at the moment but she’s certain that her long-term memory is functioning very well.
“I... smell… Zach’s blood.” It took a moment bago nya na-isatinig ang mga salitang iyon.
Clyde looks at him with surprise. “I can’t believe I’m traveling with a vampire. You’re awesome! Smelling things like that in a distance.”
“This is not the time to be praising me… I’m worried about Zach…”
“Well… if he’s a vampire too isn’t that mean that he’s immortal? So you should not worry about him. He is a strong creature.” said Clyde pero wala syang narinig na sagot muli kay Aria dahil nagpatiuna na ito sa paglipad papunta sa pampang. “She’s really worried about him.” nasabi na lang ni Clyde.
“Where are we going to find a ship in this stagnant place? It looks like no one ever step a foot on this place for ages!” said Paraly habang inililibot ang paligid matapos lumapag sa pampang kasunod ni Aria.
“But Zach is definitely going on that direction. They sail on the sea... I don’t know the reason why they captured Zach and this is not the time to think why... We have to find a ship...” said Aria habang inililibot ang paligid maya maya pa ay nakita ang maliit na bangka sa di kalayuan na animo ay lulubog na sa sobrang kalumaan at sakto lamang sa kanilang apat ang bawat espasyo doon. Nakita din iyon ng tatlo at si Paraly ang kauna-unahang nagreact.
“Oh God please tell me that you’re not thinking what I’m thinking Aria.”
Lumapit si Aria sa bangka at ininspeksyon iyon. Lumapit na din silang lahat.
“She must be really desperate.” said Clyde kay Chantele habang tinitingnan nila si Aria na kinakalag na ang tali ng bangka. At kahit anong tingin ni Clyde sa maliit na bangkang iyon ay pakirandam nya ay hindi talaga sila safe doon.
“Aria! Are you really serious about that boat? It looks like that thing will sink at any moment.” said Paraly kay Aria na seryosong seryoso sa ginagawa.
“Believe me, this is the only way to sail on the sea.” said Aria
Doon na umimik si Chantele. “Aria, the Boundary of Blue Flame Ocean is the most dangerous area in the Faycassio Sea. If we sail there using that boat there’s a 100% possibility that we will die.”
“We must not be hasty, if Professor Kastner captured Zach right now then they must have a plan too. She is one of the wisest Professor in the Heartstrings University so i think she will avoid crossing the Boundary of Blue Flame Ocean.” said Clyde.
“Then what are you suggesting us to do?” asked Paraly.
“We will wait.”
“WHAT?” kunot noong ani Aria kay Clyde as if it was the stupid thing he ever said. “I will not just sit here and wait while i know that Zach must be dying out there somewhere along that sea!”
