Athena

The Wonders

The ships sail out into the middle of the sea. The princess stands to look out at the sea as the wind blew her hair in the air with its breeze. The princess had a big smile on her face, but then the ship suddenly stopped. "We can stop here, and fish for while," Nathing suggested as he locks the ship's wheel. The crew gathers the nets ready to fish.

Athena's expression changes the moment she realized the ship stopped. She went towards the front of the ship, "What happened? Why have the ship stopped?" she yelled in anger

"Princess, calm down, we stopped now to fish. Isn't that the reason we're here?" Nathing replied as he bows down his head.

The princess grabs him by the shirt, then yelled in his face. "Now let's move on, and sail away. Why do you upset me once again? Did you forget I'm the princess? Move this ship, and move it right now. You're making want to take your head." then the princess stepped away.

Nathing mutters for a while for he realized Athena scares him a bit somehow. "Princess you must understand, we can't sail farther than this. The sea out there is not that safe. Besides we should be heading back." Nathing replied to stand his ground, but he was outnumbered now. The crew and man put things away, then start the sail, as the princess said.

Nathing looks around, then frown, "My crew is not listening now. Fine, princess, have it your way, if trouble comes, it's not my head." Nathing walked away and grabbed the wheel, the ship was sailing once again in the breeze.

Athena notices his sad face. She knew she hurt his feelings. She stood beside him then she said, "I'm sorry sir for what I said. I don't know but sometimes I am mean. If I don't get the things I need. So sail the ship further out, I'll inform you when to stop. For now just sail, by the way, thanks a lot." she said her words then walk away. To the front of the boat where she sat. When wind and breeze did calm her down. The ship was silenced for a while.

The crew and men glance at Nathing, which made his face turn very red. "Sir we can't go out there. The princess is wrong you must say something." whispered one of the crew. "There pirates out there, who rob and kill. This evil is happening for real." another man whispered these words. But the princess didn't hear a thing.

Then Nathing finally whispers back, "You heard her man, she'll take my head. She is as stubborn as you see. I know there is danger out in the sea. You saw the way she spoke to me. She got upset when I said no. So, I let her learn from her mistake. Then maybe she'll finally respect the kingdoms ways."

"At least warn her of the danger, and then we all must take our chances. We'll protect her, we'll give our lives, to keep our princess alive and safe, even if when we return, the king will see all our heads burn." the Ricko who is part of the crew "Maybe not, we'll just explain, it was all the princess idea." replied Nathing knowing his right.

"Well, we better take her back alive and well, without her truth, my friend we're dead," Ricko replied then they got quiet for a while once again. Then Rick went down to the kitchen to fix lunch for everyone. Knowing that danger soon will come.

The crew and man grabbed guns and swords, ready to fight and listen to orders. They got ready just in case, for the knew the sea was filled with dangers.

Meanwhile sat, eating some cheese, sipping on wine, feeling so free. She knew she was in deep shit, but for now, she decided to just keep living. Enjoying life it's all she has, so she sat back and just relax.
