Chereads / Wished Upon Oya / Chapter 6 - Captain who...?

Chapter 6 - Captain who...?

Oya and Eve have boarded a ship. They are settled in a room on the ship. Orunmila and Eshu wave them goodbye.

"Wait..." Oya says as she jumps out of the window and into the sea.

She runs towards where Eshu and Orunmila are standing. She jumps on Eshu and kisses him on the mouth.

"What was that for?" He asked stunted.

"So I can speak any language I want."

She jumps off him and heads back to the ship. The name of the ship is Umbra, it is setting sails to a neighboring island.

Oya and Eve have sited on their beds.

"Why did you run out and kiss Eshu?" Asked Eve.

"So I can speak any language I want."

*BAM*

Oya falls to the floor on her back. She looks up at her bed as Eve helps her up. It was Ayao who had pushed her off the bed.

"Ayao! What are you doing here?!" Asked both of them.

"I ran away from the people I have offended..." Said Ayao gasping for breath. "Dear gods... You are weighty and as cold as a dead corps."

Ayao comes off Oya's bed and helps her sister up.

"So where are you two going?"

"Where ever this ship going."

"It's heading to Whale Whea." Said, Eve.

They had talked for a while before going to sleep. Oya sleeps on her bed, and Ayao shares with Eve.

*DREAM*

Everywhere is covered in water as the moon reflects over the water. Oya stands in the middle of the water, she goes down on her knees and drank the water. It was salty! Before she could understand what was going on; she sinks into the sea.

She then shapeshifts into a jellyfish. She looks around to see who might have called her over into the sea or who is trying to talk to her through the sea.

"Mother?" Oya calls out. "Is it you?"

"..."

"Mum? If it is you, I am here. I am ready to listen to you."

"It's not your mother. She's not here." Said the voice.

"Who is it then?" Asked Oya confused.

"Look up and face the reflection of the moonlight."

She looks down and immediately knows who is talking to her.

"Olokun!?"

It was the god of the deep. God of the sea.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I am here to talk to you." Said Olokun. "I

heard that you lost everything from your children to your lover and the empire, right?"

"Yes."

"I am here to tell you what your daughter told me to tell you. She saw you suffer for some time and how you lost her and her siblings... and you made a friend with a foreigner...?"

"Yeah. And?"

Oya and Eve have boarded a ship. They are settled in a room on the ship. Orunmila and Eshu wave them goodbye.

They had talked for a while before going to sleep. Oya sleeps on her bed, and Ayao shares with Eve.

"Yeah. And?"

"Well... Your friend will leave you within two weeks and start her life somewhere else."

"What!? Why!? Who told you!?"

"Your child, Egunegun-Oya. She told me when I was visiting her domain. She told me a few things as well." He says as he starts to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"It's nothing... 'THAT' serious." *chuckles*

"I fill like you lying to me."

All of a sudden, she is falling from space to the earth. She looks around and calls out to Olokun. The moon then enters her line of sight. A beautiful bright light shines on her face. A feminine figure appears. The goddess of the moon, Mawu.

"Well, high!" Said Mawu.

"... Hey." Said Oya confused. "What do you want?"

"First of all, you sleep like a dead body, second of all... WAKE UP!!! THE SHIP IS UNDER ATTACK AND ON FIRE!!!"

"..."

"P.S. you will be broke in the next ten minutes."

Mawu gives Oya a smiling face as she waves goodbye.

"Wait! What!"

*BOOM*

Oya wakes up to a large explosion. Ayao and Eve are already armed.

"Finally you are up!" Said Ayao

"What is happening?" Asked Oya.

Another explosion hits the ship. Some men dressed in pirate clothes badged into their room.

"The ship is under attack by pirates."

The pirates fight the three of them off and sadly...the pirates won the fight. The three of them are taken to the top of the ship where people have been killed and some have had a rough fight with the pirates.

The girls are gathered at one side of the ship while the men were on the other side of the ship. A tall and rugged-looking man comes over to the ship. He looks at the fugitives his men had captured and others them to take them over to their pirate ship.

***

Oya, Ayao, and Eve are tied up to each other with a bunch of other people.

"Well, this is a total loss." Said Eve in disappointment.

"Rather than complaint, we should thank God that we are still alive and not dead nor raped." Said Ayao.

"Yeah." Said Oya sounding a little bit sad. "But guess what."

"What?" Asked Eve and Ayao.

"I was told that I will be broke in ten minutes and it came past. They took everything."

"Well...that is unfortunate. Who told you this?" Asked Ayao.

"It was-"

*Hands clap*

The sound of hands clapping cuts Oya off. The captain of the pirate ship walks over to where everyone is tied up.

"Welcome..." Said the Captain. "Lovely ladies and gentlemen. I hope you are enjoying your ride on my ship with my crew, the Mad Neptune's plague."

"Your face's a plague." Said one of the fugitives.

Without warning, one of the captain's crew members jumps toward the individual and hits the person on the head with a golf club. It kills the person instantly.

"That's what happens when you curse Captain Rusty Lugsail."

Oya

"Captain what?" Said, Eve.

'Hmmm...his name is more of the plague than his face.' Thought Oya.

"Captain Rusty Lugsail." He repeats

Ayao, Eve and Oya bust out laughing. This angers the pirate. He demands to know what is funny. But they refuse to say anything and continue to laugh.

"I see we got ourselves some hoes. Why don't we feed them to the sea monster? Marin."

"Shit." The girls' chorus.

The captain's men take the three of them from where they are tied up. As they are being led to their death, a sea storm hits them unexpectedly. It swings and sways the ship around. It causes everyone and everything around to move in different directions. Ayao and Eve are holding onto the ship's mast.

Oya is the only one holding on to nothing. She can hold herself up as the ship sways around. She calls out to her sister and asked her if the storm is her own doing. Ayao says the storm is not of her own doing. The storm becomes ten times stronger than before. The waves of the sea grew stronger and higher. The waves hit the ship washing everything and everyone off it.

After some minutes had passed, the weather goes back to normal. Oya, Eve and Ayao survived the storm and a couple of people. The three of them swam to each other.

"This is not a good week for us, is it?" Eve states.

"Yeah. How are your injuries?" Aked Oya worried.

"I am okay."

Just then, a much larger ship appears. It doesn't look like the ship that the three of them were carried in. It looks ten times bigger than the ship; you could call it a cursed ship.

"What do we have here?" Said a masculine voice. It was so attractive that Eve blushed. They all look up to see who it was with such an attractive voice."Free fugitives."

The man has very pale skin, jet-black hair and facial hair also has a feminine facial structure. At first, you might mistake him for a woman with his bright and deep ocean-blue Asian eyes. He is dressed in a tank top for men, it shows off his exotic tattoos which cover his whole neck to the left side of his body. Oya's eyes grew bigger and blushed as she stares at him.

"You all are welcomed on board. I am captain Ivan Flynn. You can call me Ivan." Said the man.
