Enzo woke up and put on his usual attire. Which was a mashup of belts and rags. After he got dressed he went down to the hull of the ship and picked up some bread to eat. He then walked onto the deck of the ship. "Wheres Elza at?" He asked the old buff man where she was, assuming he would know.
"She attached a rope to herself then went fishing." the old man said and then nodded towards the left of the boat.
"Hey what's your name i just realized i don't know it, also where's the crew."
"We didn't need a large crew for such a small ship so it's just us and 2 elfs. My Name is Alfa."
"Alright well...… you want to hunt pirates?" Enzo was very bored with not much of anything to do. He figured he could launch himself onto a ship and take some gold for himself.
"No i don't and if you fall off the ship i won't save you." Aryn walked onto the deck at that moment and noticed the atmosphere building. He knew how Alfa was and didn't know how Enzo would react.
"Hey Enzo want to spar with me? So i can judge how strong you are. If you can't beat me then you don't even deserve a chance at the crown."
"Okay sou-" Before Enzo could finish his statement Alfa butted in.
"You will both use either wooden swords or your hands. After blood is drawn the match is over, or if one gets pinned to the ground for 3 seconds." With that Enzo picked up a wooden sword and Aryn just prepared for the upcoming fight.
"3…..2…...1…..Go." As soon as Alfa said go Aryn used his adaptation to quickly get next to Enzo. He stopped himself with his right foot and turned on it lunging at Enzo with a strong right punch. Enzo of course saw this coming moved forward to dodge the punch and hit Aryn's leg with his sword. Then Enzo back stepped away from him and assumed his normal stance with his sword in front of him pointing straight up. "That was a good plan but not you've got a welp on your leg. What'll you do now?" Aryn kneeled down and jumped straight at Enzo. Enzo took his sword turned it sharper edge away and rolled Aryn over him then he pushed Aryn down to the floor and put his leg on his chest. 1…..2…...3 he stood up off of his brother and gave out his hand. "Good fight." Aryn took his helping hand up and stood on his own legs.
"That was a good spar." Everyone on the deck looked at the side of the boat. It was Elza standing there with 4 fish in her hands." you couldn't beat me though." She jumped down from the rail and walked over to the oven on the ship and threw in the fish. Enzo knew this was true and smiled. "But i will become the strongest in the world and then you'll just be my right hand."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enzo and the crew arrived at the port on the northern side of the biggest city in the country of Aragon, Felis. It was a big booming city very different from the port side city of Erimoore. The smaller houses were bigger than most normal houses in Erimoore and the shopping district had a lot of shops and blacksmiths.
The biggest building far south from where Enzo currently stood was a 3 story tall castle. The crew started their trek to the castle. "Hey all we have to do is get to that castle right?" Enzo was looking for an opportunity to leave and have some fun. No one seemed to answer his question so be turned to look back at the group who was not there. "Ahhh. What am i gonna do now? Do i go to the castle and try to meet them there or do i try to find them? Or do i go to the shopping centre?." When Enzo said the last one a smile grew on his face he had 15 pieces of gold 39 silver and 243 bronze and copper. " I guess i'll find them and shop at the same time." Enzo arrived at the shopping centre in no time and when he did he went to talk to the weapon vendors. "Hey how goes it? Do you have any nicely made long swords, Preferably cheap?" He looked at the vendor who just stood there. He wasn't moving. "Hello?" With no response he walked past the vendor and went into the shop picked up a sword left 10 gold on the counter and went back to where he was before. After retracing his steps he found his group who was also frozen in time. "There must be a spell or something on this city." He reached out and touched Elza when he did she became unfrozen. "huh what happened Enzo?"
"I don't know everyone was frozen except for me then i touched you and you became unfrozen." Enzo purposefully left out how he got his new sword. A bright blue light appeared in the sky not too far away from them. They both took off running at it. When the two teens arrived they saw a woman standing in all black clothing. She noticed the presence change and looked over to her left. "Hello children how did you escape my freezing spell? You must be strong enough oh well it wasn't a very powerful spell i'll take care of you now."
"Why are you doing this?" The witch did not answer his question and instead rushes at him on her broom and launched a fireball. Elza stepped in front of Enzo and deflected the fireball somewhere else where it dissipated. Enzo drew his sword and climbed to the top of a building next to him. Elza ran around the witch putting her in a pincer attack. They both lunged at the witch who, right before the two teens hit her, pushed herself higher in the air. Enzo noticed this and cupped his hands for Elza to jump off of. When she reached the witch's altitude she swung quickly cutting the broom and slicing the witch's leg causing her to let out a painful scream. She started to fall towards the ground. Enzo jumped off the ground upwards to catch the witch. Being so close with a man the witch turned her red face. She was immobilized and couldn't move in Enzo's arms.
"So you want to tell us what your doing now?"
"Fine. We are here to kill the king and instate a new king. I was in charge of freezing most everybody but i didn't have enough energy to freeze around 20 people here." Enzo took in the info and wondered who the other 19 people were.
"You said we, who else is here?" Enzo also heard her say we and was wondering how many people the we included.
"Its me and 5 other people you might already be too late but one was supposed to kill the king by himself." Enzo tied up the witch and placed her next to a pole.
