"I do not know why everyone hates me so. I fight, because-because that is how I am! I cannot do anything!" Sara cried to someone, quietly. "No one hates you." a male's voice said, it was hard to tell who it was because there was no light on. "Yes they do! I hate me! I am sure if I die, everyone will rejoice!" she cried, "No. You should not hate yourself. I promise, I will not let you die. Vikus, he will be there, so will Mason and Howard. They all like you. I do not think Luxa really has a judgement of you yet. And I do not think you can die, you know why." whispered the voice again, Gregor guessed it was Mareth. "We will survive." Mareth whispered then lay back down. Howard was steering the boat, but he didn't seem to have heard anything. The waves were crashing really loudly against the boat.
When Gregor woke up, everyone looked miserable. Tired, and bored. Mason was steering the boat. Someone coughed, and Gregor was tired of all the silence. "Hey everyone." he said, everyone else just mumbled hello, and said nothing more. The bat's hadn't said much since they started the journey. "We are approaching land soon. But this will not be our destination." Vikus said to Gregor, everyone looked at him, an eyebrow raise from Luxa. "I feel he should know, you all do." Vikus said to no one in particular.
About an hour later, they did reach land. It was a large open area, a place Mason calls 'Too obvious for them. They die here.' As they approached a large tunnel, Sara inhaled sharply, and stopped dead in her tracks. She grasped her bow and an arrow, she loaded her bow, as a spinner walked out quickly, expecting not to be seen. She shot the escaping spinner. It's limp, lifeless body crashed to the ground. "Do not go in here, go over." She said, climbing on Irena. "Good plan." Vikus said.
"We must walk, fliers, fly." Vikusw instructed. They walked for about two hours,until they approached another tunnel, "This one is safe." Vikus told the group. Sara gasped and stepped back, "No! I cannot do this! I cannot go in!" she said, "Yes you can." Luxa said, "I cannot! I cannot fight! I can barely sheath my sword!" She cried, well, she began to. "Sara, you can, you have trained for fighting all your life!" Marco said to her, "No! I swore I would not do it after last time!" Sara was crying now, she stepped back again. "I cannot. I should not" she cried. Vikus walked over to her, put his hand on her arm, and kneeled down, he was still taller than her. "You can do this. I know so. You should, you would help keep Regalia safe." Vikus told her, "No. I barely do anything, Gregor mostly- mostly kills! I cannot do the same thing! Anymore." She mumbled 'anymore' so quietly no one could hear her. "Anymore?" Gregor asked, "What do you mean anymore?" Sara's face paled. "I cannot do what you do anymore." Sara replied, she stopped crying by now, and wanted to see what Gregor would say, "What can't you do what I can do?" He asked, "A lot." she said. "Go at her with the sword." Luxa whispered. "Why?" Gregor asked, "Just do it." she whispered. Gregor took his sword, and ran at her like he was going to slice her head off. Then she took out her sword so quickly, knocked Gregor down, and put her knees on his chest, and almost plunged the sword into his throat. "Okay, I see what you mean. Can you get off me, please?" Gregor asked, she got off him. Everyone's jaw dropped, except Luxa's and Avanna's. Even the bat's looked shocked. "No. I am still not doing it!" Sara said, everyone was looking at her, like she might kill them if they don't.
Sara held out her sword, "No one move, Mason is going to kill you."
