Journey king of the stone

Chapter 7

“How many times do I have to tell you,” Darin said.  “If you put a dwarf and a mermaid together there is no chance of a relationship.” 

    “Ah, what do you now.” Orlfam said.  “Hey, Aquarile, what do you think, wanna mate with a dwarf?”

    “In your dreams, short stout.” she responded.

    “Forever and always.” he responded, everyone looked at Jeremy when he came out of the room.  

    “Hey, Jeremy,” Sola said.  “Got any news that doesn't involve a hopeless cause?”

    “Girl you tell ‘im.” said Shanel, the two bumped fists and Orlfam looked at them disgusted, Aquarile just laughed.  

    “Safie is alive, and Vladegast is very pissed, so we need to move fast or she’s a dead elf.” Jeremy said. “So let’s get our asses to the Triangle and do our job.” Orlfam got up and walked towards the helm, they were off again to the Triangle.  4 hours have passed through the day, and they came up upon a strange whirlpool, the water wasn’t going down, it was instead rising up in the clouded sky, the wind blew harder as they were pulled into the mysterious whirlpool, everyone was holding on to something, so they didn’t fall off.  

    “Here we go!” Livia shouted, the entire ship was then sinking in the whirlpool, they sank deep into the sea, they floated in the water, never rose up they just stayed there afloat.  Then they felt themselves being pushed down to the ground of the ship, they could see the sky coming right towards them, the sky and water made a snapping sound when they rose back to the surface.  There ship showed no damage, the whirlpool had cleared, the sky was bright and the wind blew calmly, everyone was extremely wet and felt slightly cold due to the change in temperature.

    “Where the hell are we?” Jeremy asked.  There were strange birds flying across the sky, they sounded normal but they looked very different.

“Welcome, to the Bermuda Triangle.” Orlfam announced.  The boat shook a little bit, everyone looked at the edge of the boat and saw what appeared to be Mosasaur, a dinosaur that lived in the ocean and is believed to be the ancestor of the Crocodile and Alligator.  In front of them was an island full of creatures that were believed to be extinct but they were living their lives as if nothing happened, there was a giant mountain that laid in the center of the island.

“Is that them?” asked Arlon, he pointed towards a large boat with holes in it, torn sails and viking shields on the sides.

“Yes, that’s them.” said Jeremy with a little anger in his voice.   Their ship sailed close to the viking ship, they docked right in front of them, once they got off of the ship and took a moment to look at their surroundings.

“Alright, here’s the plan.” Arlon said.  “We get-”

“Jeremy stays here.” said Livia, everyone looked at her in confusion.

“What, why?” Jeremy asked.

“I’m afraid that you’re gonna be pulled into Vladegast’s bargain and give him the stone.” she answered.

“...Seriously? He has Safie.” said Jeremy as he stood closer towards her.

“That’s why you should stay here.” 

“And what? Give you the stone?”

“Yes.” she held her hand out gesturing that he should give her the stone.

“What if you get corrupted by it and become Exitium and try to kill us again?”

“That won’t happen.” 

“How can you tell?”

“BECAUSE ...because...I don’t have an answer.” Livia then dropped her hand and thought of an answer.

“I’m going, weather you guys want me there or not.” just then, mermen jumped from the water and surrounded them, with tridents pointed towards them.

“You all are coming with us,” said the merman in the front.  “Vladegast’s orders.”  the team stood still, Jeremy grabbed the trident that was pointing right at him and punched the merman in the face, then flicked his hand towards a group of them, they went flying away by a gust of wind, he then turned around and waved his hands together casting a spell, then a merman grabbed him by the hair, punched him in the stomach and smacked him in the face with it’s fin.  “Up, wizard, up.” he said, Jeremy then stood up and raised his hands in surrender, everyone else followed his movements.  “Move, Landkainians, move!” he shouted, they were all lead towards the mountain on the island.  

They walked past a group of Triceratops chewing on grass and plants, Shanel leaned over towards Jeremy. 

“Got a plan?” she asked.

“Yes, although I can’t talk about it now, as you can see, we’re surrounded.” he responded, the mermen took a look at them, then turned their attention back to the mountain.

“Anything you want us to know about the plan, lad?” Darin asked.

“Aye, I’m not dying by a fish-man.” said Orlfam.

“Just act normal, and I’ll take care of the rest.” Jeremy answered. They got to the bottom of the mountain.  The merman tapped the bottom of it’s trident on the mountain, a stone platform appeared below them and they were lifted from the ground and they were brought to the top of the mountain, where there was Vladegast, Alexander, an army of vikings, and Vinea holding Safie hostage.  

“Rûvëllk!” Safie shouted in excitement and in concern.  Vinea pulled her hair to shut her up.  

“How are you doing today? Wizard.” Vladegast asked.

“Things could be worse, just love having my girlfriend kidnapped, and being surrounded by mermen then being walked towards the mountain where the stones were created so that I could give it to a ruthless viking lord, who is also a self loving son of a bitch.” Jeremy answered.

“Good, that was my idea.” said Vladegast.  “Now, let’s get down to business,” he extended his hand out towards Jeremy.  “Handover the stone.”
