Hak's PoV

"Well?" I asked impatiently.

"Not today either," Travis shook his head as Apollo, the stupid bird, just sat on a perch, staring out into the sea, "we mustn't be in rage yet."

"I'm going crazy!" Kija exclaimed, "how could we have let her fall overboard?!"

"She'll be fine," Irene smiled as she walked over and handed out drinks to us, "she's with Arcane, I'm positive she'll be safe."

"You keep saying that but I don't think I can bring myself to believe you," I glared, "it was you guys who got us in this mess in the first place."

"I don't remember pressing a blade against your throats and demanding you join us," Branton walked over, "so no. Its not my fault. I said that those who are useless get tossed in the drink. Seems nature just got to that red haired brat before I did."

"Captain, nows not the time to start arguments," Trent quickly said before turning to us, "I'm sorry. He didn't mean that. We're all really stressed here. You need to realise that we also lost a friend, a very close one in our little family... You're not the only ones worrying."

"We say that they'll be fine but in truth we're worried," Iris walked over, it's the creepy lady, "anything could've happened."

"Yeah! I mean-- Arcane is freakishly strong but there's only so much that he can do alone," Travis sighed, "he may be strong but he has the energy capacity of a sloth."

"Reminds me of someone else we know," Tennant nodded to Esta who was lying on the deck, but she wasn't sleeping, she was just staring at the sky.

"Is she OK?" Gene asked.

"She's been staring at the sky for a while now," Gale added on, "it's getting weird."

"Argh-- don' yoo wor- worry," Read came stumbling over, he reeked of alcohol, "Arcane-y boyh won' leh anywun hart teh wee lasseh."

"Alright, you're way too drunk, come on, we're getting you sober," Tennant and Aswin grabbed the older man and started dragging him off below deck.

Aswin paused for a moment and turned to us.

"I trust Arcane. I honestly believe that he'll protect your girl and himself. He's one of those people who don't show that they care when they really do," Aswin told us, "if you ride as crew on our ship no matter permanent or temporary, he will protect you with his life literally. He will die for anyone on this ship, he's just the kind of guy. So have so faith, if something happens, I'm confident that your little Yona is safe. She's probably with the safety person she could possibly be with right now."

He then turned and disappeared below with Read and Tennant.

"I'm so jealous," Travis whined.

"Why's that?" Jae-ha asked.

"Because Arcane will be talking to her! Willingly!" he exclaimed loudly. Those words made everyone on the deck pause, well, the pirates at least.

"Imagine him actually having a half decent conversation with someone," Irene stared off into nothing.

"Nope. Can't do it. Too weird," A shook her head and this cause everyone else to nod along with her.

"Hey~ what if they get super close~" Gene cooed, elbowing his brother, "and they fall in love~ I mean-- this is one of those ideal 'I found my soulmate' sort of situations. Don't you agree?"

"Indeed I do," Gale nodded.

"W-what?!" Kija, Jae-ha and Yoon all shouted, myself Shin-ah and Zeno just stared at them in disgust.

"Yeah, I highly doubt that," I glared.

"Your grip on that weapon of yours is telling us otherwise," Gale chuckled before the brothers went off to do whatever the hell it is that they do.

"Don't listen to them," Iris ordered before going away as well.

"Yeah, they like to push other peoples buttons," Irene nodded, "they're a pain in the ass but they're good guys."

"They're just like Hak and his teasing hobby," Kija stated.

"What did you just say, white snake?" I glared which received a glare in response.

"No fighting!" A quickly shouted.

"The ship probably won't hold up!" Travis added on.

"It looks good but it's really freaking old!" A, Travis, Trent and Irene all shouted in unison.

Wow. Impressive.

"Don't disrespect my ship," came the icy captain of the seas glare. I don't much care for Branton...at all...

Midnight_

"Guys! Apollo just flew off!" Aswin shouted.

I threw myself off my bed and sprinted up the stairs.

"Which direction?" Branton asked.

"South South West, captain," Aswin responded.

"Off course but that's fine," Branton nodded as everyone came up, "set course for South South West."

"Aye, captain!" we all chimed before running around the ship.

Earlier in the day_

Your PoV

I walked back to mine and Yona's temporary house with food when the sound of people whispering caught my attention.

Hiding behind a wall, I focus my hearing.

"So we're really sacrificing the dragon warrior and his master?" one person whispered.

"Yes. We're to restrain them in the strongest chains we have when they fall asleep from the drugged food," another whispered back.

Crap.

I quickly dropped the fruit in my hand and ran to the house.

Throwing the door open, I looked at Yona's started expression.

"We have to get out of here," I told her.

"Wha-- why?" she asked, baffled.

"Yes, for whatever reason would you want to leave?" came an eerie voice from behind. When I turned, I saw Keil.

But instead of his staff, he had a sword.

Crap crap crap!

"Stay behind me, Yona," I told her, "we're in some deep shit now."
