Chereads / Corrosion/Vengeance / Chapter 61 - A glorious welcome

Chapter 61 - A glorious welcome

The ship finally sets off , heading to the elven regime's shores .

-Well you know where to find me Reaper .

-Sure go on .

Camero heads to the cabin , and Kiro wanders on the deck, observing sailors as they worked and gazing upon the waves of the sea . A shout from above is heard , in the crow's pit :

-Captain , I see a great storm approaching us

The man from before shows up and says :

-Get down here and talk properly !

-Yes sir!

"So he is the captain , let's see how he handles the situation"

-What seems to be the problem ?

-We are sailing through a great storm , what are your orders sir ?

-Turn the ship to the right , we are going to go around .

Kiro looks at the captain and says :

-Going around it will only cost us precious time , go though it .

-Are you insane , do our lives mean anything to you .

-Each of your lives have been paid since I boarded this ship . Do as I say or you are free to swim back to the shore .

-You are mad !

-Give the orders and do as I say , better having a chance at passing through the storm alive than dying right here and now .

-Do not turn the wheel , we are passing through it lads !

-Are you sure captain ?

-I am , now raise the sails and get over it sailors !

-Yes captain .

The sailors raise the sails as the ship gets ready to get through the storm . After the while the whole crew finds themselves fighting with the rough waves and the harsh weather . Raindrops where heavy , but the crew wouldn't give up . They fought ferociously against the storm .

"Guess they are capable after all ."

Suddenly , a splashing sound is heard by Kiro .

-Help! somebody , please help !

"Or maybe not "

A sailor had fallen off deck , Kiro notices him struggling to stay on the surface , while the ship sailed away .

"Guess this is your lucky day "

Kiro takes a rope and throws it at the sailor .

-Grab the rope if you want to live

The sailor grabs the rope

-Bloodlust

Kiro's eyes turn pitch black , but nobody notices , as they were busy handling the situation . Kiro lifts the sailor up and slowly to the deck . The sailor lies on the ground exhausted , breathing heavy , but Kiro didn't save his life out of pity .

-Get up if you don't want to end up in the sea again , get back to work .

The sailor coughs a bit and then says

-Yes sir .

The sailor gets back to work , then , Camero comes out of his cabin .

-What is going on here .

-Isn't it obvious ? we are sailing through the storm

-I see , so do we have much on our way ?

-I see light , I swear on my kids , I can see the sunlight !

The ship had passed through the storm , After a fierce fight between the sailors and the nature , The ship was sailing into clear waters again .

-We are saved .

-Is every lad here alright ? -Says the captain .

-The sailors cheer as they made it out of the storm .

-Good everyone is alive , now lower the sails , we are going to reach our destination soon .

Kiro approaches the captain and says :

-Good job captain , I'm actually impressed .

-We will land in less than an hour , be prepared .

Time passes , Land is seen from a distance .

"Finally , we arrived "

-I think I needed some time off , I hope it's an enough relaxing stay .

-Is this the only reason why you came here ?

-It is , Bralvor can be so demanding time to time .

-I see , what do expect finding here ?

-I don't really know , food I guess .

-The ship stops near the beach .

-I think I completed my part of the deal lads , now If you would't mind , time to get off my ship .

-You lowly human scum.....

-Relax Camero , he did his part , now it's the time to do our part .

Kiro and Camero leave the ship with a small boat controlled by a sailor . Once the boat lands , Kiro and Camero finally set foot on land . The sailor leaves with the boat and heads to the ship . The ship later sets off . The beach wasn't anything like Kiro and Camero had expected . It was cold , and the beach was surrounded by evergreen trees .

-Just like home , cold and foggy .

-We finally arrived , now what ?

-I thought someone would be waiting here for us , like a carriage or something .

Suddenly , a hooded man appears . He had a long white beard and a face full of wrinkles .

-Follow me young men .

Then the man turns back and heads towards the forest .

-Not what I expected but It's better than being stranded here .

-I agree on that .

Camero and Kiro follow the old man through the forest .

-Follow me and do not split up at any costs from me .

-Why ?

-Because only elves can pass through the forest , any other being , human or demon will be forever lost in the forest .

-I see , then let's go .

Time passes , they finally reach a gate . The old man walks towards the gate . The gate opens magically and then he says .

-Come .

Kiro and Camero enter the door and they see a massive city , overflowing with activity . A group of guards approach them and say :

-I am the captain of the guards , allow me escort you to the castle elder Idril .

-You are welcomed to .

Kiro gets near the old man and whispers :

-who are we supposed to meet here ?

-You are supposed to discuss the matter king Bralvor sent you with me , I am the elder of the elven regime Idril Calemirben

-So you are the one in charge here ?

-You can say so .

"So this guy is n charge , why did he came all the way to the beach to pick us up when he could just send someone else ? is this a move to gain trust ?

Kiro looks around him and observes the elves. He had never seen such beautiful people . They had pointed ears , big eyes and they looked full of life .

"So the RPG industry has never been wrong about elves "

The city was a wonder itself , Buildings were covered with vines and moss , trees covered the busy streets form the sunlight . The nature and the city had become one . The old man turns to Kiro and says :

-After we arrive at the castle I would want to discuss the presence of the reaper himself here .
