Open Sea

Amaluna

We were all on deck, Trevor had already instructed others to start doing their homework. We were able to set sail before dark and although we were all essential there were some with more important positions and those were here to introduce themselves and take care of their areas.

- Well, I know your experience is nil, but come on, we live in a coastal town, you have to know something, I want you to introduce yourselves one by one- Trevor asked them

There was a short man, with a hat that covered his whole face and when he took it off we were all surprised, it was Gloria's daughter, Claudia.

- I am Gloria's Daughter and I came here to help find my godmother just that, I don't care what they think. I'll be in the kitchen because we won't get anywhere if they starve or get poisoned from eating raw.

- Welcome aboard- Trevor answered- next.

"My name is Pedro and I will be the doctor on board," said another man.

It took a few minutes for everyone to introduce themselves and leave, leaving Trevor and me on deck. I went up to where the rudder was and Trevor had left a man there, he pulled out a compass where he started looking and changing course.

"Do you know where we are going?" I asked.

- Not really, but if we continue forward we will find very choppy waters. If your mother is ill and took her medicines at some point they will run out and they will have to get to shore. In addition, they have to supply themselves and if only in Costa Bonita they kidnapped your mother they will have to do it soon. There is still time to get to the nearest island, there we will try to get clues- he told me.

"That sounds good," I just said.

Trevor had become the captain and I had become his first mate so it was a bit awkward, but I knew he would have the larger cabin and I would have a slightly smaller one below him, but it didn't matter. I got the cabin and went inside, it smelled of old damp wood, but it was more than I could ask for.

The next day in the dining room of the ship, Claudia prepared a delicious oatmeal and everyone was already there, I was bad at dawn. I sat down, he brought me a plate and winked at me.

"Do you know if the Captain has already woken up?" I asked everyone.

"He was the first to do it, he wants us all in 15 minutes on the main deck," Pedro replied.

I realized that I didn't have much time so I swallowed all the food and accompanied the others, there he put us to train. I loved seeing him in that mode and took out a couple of swords and started practicing with each of the sailors so they all learned how to fight. Claudia left everyone speechless, she was very good at the sword, much better than other men. Trevor motioned for me to pick up a sword, so I went downstairs and grabbed one.

- Hold it tight with your hand, think that it is an extension of your arm, not an accessory, not a sword, if not your arm. Stay firm, study me just like I study you, know me, follow in my footsteps, predict them and attack- Trevor indicated and began to swarm with me in a way that could block their attacks, we backed up for a few minutes in the same way.

- Stop using both hands, use only one, you need it free to defend yourself from another that may come to you from the side- he advised me.

I began to use the sword with one hand and there he began to attack me more aggressively, my heart was racing, trying to follow and block his sword and somehow something entered me and I counterattacked making him drop the sword, leaving my sword vulnerable. in his neck. Everyone was speechless and started clapping for me and shouting my name.

"Very well done, how did you know to do that?" Trevor congratulated me.

- I have no idea - I said honestly.

"Jum, not bad," he just spoke.

We went down on deck to celebrate and drink, the day had passed too quickly with so many things that were done on the ship and when we started to have a good time the deck bell rang and we went up to see what was happening.
