Jelia, ever the over thoughtful girl has arranged for our yacht to be decked out in magic cannons and magic harpoon launchers. Heck she even convinced me to install four of my automated magic turrets and a defense matrix on the yacht on top of things. This isn't a yacht anymore! This is a warship! Man, even everyone I talked to today looked spooked when I said we're setting sail for the Bermuda Triangle. Why are Adonis and I the only ones not worried about this trip? It's beginning to make me wonder if there is something that people aren't telling me about the place. Oh well I am sure that between two gods and a handful of powerful progenitors that we should be able to handle anything that comes our way. On that note, we should probably be setting sail now eh? Looking over to Jelia, I called out to her and had her gather everyone over to the front of the yacht. (A/N: Sorry I don't know anything about yachts, boats or the like. Feel free to help me out here.)
Jelia seemed to be jumping about in joy when I called her over, and was even more overjoyed that I was asking something of her. I swear, this girl has issues. Either way I am glad to have her in Nightblood, along with everyone else. Now, that everyone is gathered, let's give a little speech shall we? "My friends, brother's, lovers and what not. I am so glad on this day to be going on the most epic of adventures with you all. Today shall be a day that they shall write in the books of our Legend. The Legendary rise of the mighty Nightblood!" Everyone began cheering with me and we began dancing around like fools as Adonis of all people took over control of the yacht. Apparently he used to have his own galleon once upon a time. Entrusting Adonis to captain us safely to the Bermuda Triangle, I plopped down in a hammock and relaxed with my phone out in my hand reading one of my many downloaded light novels. Honestly my life as of late has been so much like the characters in my books, that I found myself too excited to even begin to go back to reading for the longest time. Even though things are still as epic as they were at the beginning, I think that I have managed to acclimate to the changes that were brought upon me by arriving in this new world full of mystery, fantasy and a little touch of horror. I'm slowly becoming more godlike, though baby steps are being taken. I'll admit I'm a massive chunni that can't help but say the most ridiculous lines in the most serious of situations, but hey that's just me embracing my new life and simply enjoying it. Besides, who says that a god can't have his quirks? No one I hope.
The first day of our voyage ended uneventfully, which I was kind of dissapointed by. I mean I was hoping to meet some mermaids, after all Jelia got me some nice blood from mermaids. Oh well, there is a very vast ocean to explore out there, and Midgard is at minimum twice the size of Earth. I can't exactly go asking, "Hey compared to the Earth, how big is Midgard?", I mean first off they'd ask me what Earth is, then I'd have to explain being another worlder to my friends and I am honestly not seeing a reason to need to do that any time in the future. Suffice it to say, from what I have seen of the world map of Midgard, it is ginormous. Like so massive, that is almost impossible to believe that it is an actual real world. So, I'd say its very likely that Midgard is around 10 to 15 times the size of Earth. My reasoning? Because the map is so huge, and there are way more islands that there were back on Earth, plus the continents are much larger and there seem to be several new continents that didn't exist back on Earth. At least not during the modern age anyway.
On the morning of our second voyage, we finally had our first encounter with the denizens of the ocean. I very large creature that looked like the cross between a horse and an octopus appeared. Luckily it just appeared to be curious and wasn't on a war path. It stuck around our boat for a good few hours before diving and disappearing back into the depths of the ocean. Adonis looked disappointed, and began to elaborate on how great a meal that we could have had, had we taken down that great beast. I laughed at Adonis words believing that he was simply joking however, he looked at me with a serious look and insisted that the tentacles taste great with soy sauce. This made me realize that the guy had already hunted these creatures, and recently at that to know what they tasted like with soy sauce. I honestly found my mouth watering at the thought of eating them and just barely managed to calm my blood thanks to my god aura. Sighing in relief that I didn't go on a bloody rampage and upturning all of the local sea wildlife in a made desire to taste the best seafood can offer, I looked over to Jelia and simply said, "Sushi when we return. Agreed?".
After the little episode involving the sea creature that I swear will haunt my foodie dreams, we all proceeded with story time as everyone began to give a little backstory about themselves so that we could become infinitely closer as a group. Adonis was first. "I had wandered the myriad realms for many an age, seeking for the partner who would end my endless suffering to no avail. Year after year, decade after decade, centuries and millenia.. Before long millions of years passed and I had yet to find the one that I sought. And so, with a heaviness in my heart, I decided to go into a deep slumber until I felt the presense of my destined one enter this world at last. I have no idea how many centuries or millenia had passed before at long last he was here! The light of the darkness in my soul. The warm hearth during the long winter! My soul mate had at long last descended upon this mortal realm. And a god no less! No worries of them dying and leaving me alone in this world, we could spend eternity together. Alas, unless they accepted me and my advances, how could I hope to live out my deepest hearts desire? And yet.. He accepted me! He accepted me for who I am, and is giving me a chance to prove myself to him. My loyal isn't questioned, but I must prove my love true and this I swear I shall do, or my name isn't Adonis God of Beauty and Lust!"
Everyone applauded at Adonis words, who blushed crimson, but gestured to Jelia to go next. Clearing her throat, the silly girl locked eyes with me as she began to speak. "I was born Jelia Mooncrown, many millenia ago. Too long ago to really care about, and honestly of my past I am not proud of it. At one point I was the monster in the night, the terror of humanity. A veritable menace to society. But one day, I had a change of heart upon meeting a kind vampire couple that were helping a dying human man by turning him into one of us. By giving him the gift of immortality, they were saving his life, but also damning him to forever run from the sun. However, in that moment a spark was lit in my heart and from that point on I began making changes in my life, I cleared house of evil noble vampires in my court and began my path towards becoming a righteous vampire. One day I chanced upon a prophecy. This prophecy spoke of the descent of the Vampire God, and how he would come to rule the world with a rod of gold and blood. The legends also said that he was holy, righteous and true. And so with a great fervor in my heart, I prayed one day that I Jelia Mooncrown, would get to see my Lord God in person. And lo and behold, it happened! On a fateful day at the Tokyo airport, he appeared before me in all of his glory! I was so moved that I nearly wept, however I barely managed to contain myself. Those of you present know the rest of the story, as we are living it at this moment."
I was deeply touched by Jelia's story and decided that when the two of us were alone, that I would ask her for more details about her past. Next up was Shinji. Looking shy and slightly embarrassed, the guy big guy began to speak. "My name is Shinji, everyone here knows my last name. There isn't really much to say about me. I until recently was addicted to fetish porn, however after getting together with Yusuke's female half, that all went away and I am able to get my needs taken care of in a very real way. Ahem.. Yeah sorry about that bit of TMI, but it's kind of one of my weaknesses as a person. I respect Clyde greatly as a man, and one of the most badass and cool friends that a guy could ever ask for. I will gladly walk through fire for him, I am his bro for life!" Nodding my head at Shinji's little speech, I turned my head to Yusuke along with everyone else. The poor marshmallows face was a deep crimson at the moment. However he gave a cute, 'Ahem', and began to speak in his very feminine voice.
"My name is Yusuke, and like Shinji said you all already know my last name. At least I think you do?.. Right anyway, so the story about me is that up until recently I was a major alcoholic who couldn't function without drinking 20 to 30 beers a night before bed. The reason is because once a month I would turn into a woman due to a bloodline of mine I believe. The problem with this is, that in my female form I was totally and irrevocably in love with Shinji. I am a straight guy, but apparently I am also a straight woman. This tore me apart for the longest time as I struggled with thoughts of suicide because I didn't want to ruin my friendship with Shinji. However, one day Clyde appeared in our life and one drunk night he came back and found me in a messy state. His comforting, soothing, and gentle words gave me strength and the courage to go up to Shinji and tell him the truth about my condition. Ironically enough, when I went to see Shinji my transformation happened and his jaw dropped as he said, "Wow so beautiful. I believe you and accept you for who you are. Will you please be my girlfriend as a woman, and my bro for life as a man?". Tears of joy flowed down my face as I said yes, and the rest is history. Everyone else knows how close the two of us are now."
Next should have been Matrix, but she shook her head and insisted that she isn't ready to tell her story yet. We all accepted this and decided that we would give her time to trust us and to slowly build up to telling us her story on her own. At that moment everyone looked at me and I gulped involuntarily. Right everyone would want to know about me wouldn't they? After they are all here for me. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give them a grain of the truth then. "I am the God of Vampires Clyde. I come from a land very far from here that cannot be reached ever again.. In this land, I was the bottom of the rung in my society. A loser shut-in who could barely bring himself to bathe or eat. Shopping for groceries was a torturous task for me, and one I feared doing. And so I limited myself to getting food twice a month. Before all of this, I was once a happy and productive member of society.. but then KAREN entered my life. This woman fooled me completely. She had me in the palm of her hand, head over heels in love with her. Anything that she asked of me, I would do for her in a heart beat. It was only later as I talked to my buddies about my relationship that I realized just how sinister and cruel that this woman actually was. Once this revelation was upon me, I knew that I needed to get out of that relationship stat. And so, with a heavy heart, I kicked the evil witch out of my home and found myself moping around and writing my light novel day after day. Until one day, I was called to this realm and now here we are. Everyone knows about my story. I lied about being amnesiac, because I am too ashamed of my past. But there it is, in all of it's ugliness."
At this point the onion ninjas began their sneak attack on my friends, as they began bawling like babies and everyone was hugging somebody. Jelia and Adonis both tackled me to the ground at the same time and were crying so hard that I expected the glass on the yacht to shatter at any moment. It took nearly an hour for everyone to calm down, and go back to the cheerful atmosphere that we had going on before the serious talk started. However, I now saw a fire in the eyes of my comrades and I knew that it was righteous fury and the suffering that I'd endured at the hands of the abominable Karen. We managed to kill a good few hours with our talks and before long the sun was setting. The journey to The Bermuda Triangle is only just beginning. Who knows what we shall find on our way there? What adventures we shall find ourselves getting into?
