ENCHANTER: The Quest of the Remaining One (bxb)

CHAPTER 2: Island of thieves

Can someone please remind me why am I in this God forsaken Island?

Oh I remember clearly. It's because of my quest.

Now I'm currently walking, well more like sneaking in this dark street of the pirate island and let me tell you, it's disgusting here. Various rubbish are scattered everywhere. The soil is spoiled. everything is dirty.

While sneaking, I saw two pirates coming to my direction so I did what every sane person will do when they encounter people who are scary, I hid in the stock of wooden jug beside what seems to be a bar.

The two pirates stopped just in front of the wooden jug while talking loudly with each other.

"Captain Fabian told the crew this afternoon that he know where the chest of golds is. It's in the island of Nevada." One of them stated, picking something from his nose.

I mentally gagged because of it. These people doesn't have decency in any way.

"Island of Nevada, isn't it the island of titanoboas?" The other one says. leaning to a near wooden post.

"Yes, it's dangerous, but if the chest of golds will become ours, luxury will be our bed. Oh, but I also heard that the titanoboa has the necklace of one of the twelve enchanters of the kingdom of  Verar and inside that necklace is the owner of the necklace or something, that's what I heard."

Upon hearing that, I immediately came out from my hiding spot. Interested to what he just revealed.

The two pirates were surprised of my sudden appearance, pointing swords to my direction.

"Bring me to your Captain.." I commanded them.

The two looked at me skeptically.

"Who are you?" The taller one with a pirate cup and worn out black jacket and jeans asked me, making his way near my direction.

"I am one of the twelve enchanters of the kingdom of Verar.." I revealed.

They looked at each other and suddenly, they laughed like I said something really entertaining on their part.

Why is everyone laughing at me when I say I am an enchanter?

First the witches and now, pirates?

"Don't bluff at us young man, you, one of the twelve enchanters of the kingdom of Verar? Oh please...." The shorter one with worn out black shirt and gray pants remarked.

"Oh...you want me to show you?" I challenged, glaring at the both of them.

They stared at me, examining if I am bluffing further. I squinted my eyes and it seems like it enlightened their little brains.

"Ok, come with us and let us show you the captain, Mr. Enchanter" The taller one mocked at me.

I guess their little brains cannot decipher what's truth from a bluff.

And they laughed at their own joke, again. Nonetheless, I followed them, not minding a bit the possibility of them attacking me. It will be my pleasure to make them taste my wrath.

When we arrived at their captain's ship, the three of us entered what seems like the den of the captain.

"Captain Fabian, a Verarian who claims to be one of the twelve enchanters is here and wants to see you.." The shorter one said to the captain whose face is still hidden because his back is facing us.

Slowly, the captain turned around and faced us, and when he turned, a small gasp escaped my lips because of him, or should I say, because of his appearance.
