I am speechless.
Hecate show me the base works and I don'tt know what to say.
There are so many things that I don't understand how it work.
A machine that makes us go up and down at will, water at will and still full of unimaginable things. When I say unimaginable, it's because it all works without magic and that's what is unimaginable.
« SO ? » ask Hecate
« Tha…It's amazing. How... How is that possible? » I questioned
« Too complicated to explain. Come on, let's go »
« What ? Go where ? »
« I have more money, I have to go hunting to get some » she said
« And how can I help you? » I ask recovering from my stupor and pursuing Hecate.
« Nothing. You come with me because I can't leave you here alone. I don't want to find my burnt base »
« What ?! Do you trust me so much?! » I exclaimed
« I trust you but not to take care of the basics. I'm pretty sure you'd destroy it in less than 24 hours if I left you alone »
« How are you so…. » I start before she cut me off
« Besides, you don't know how to use the kitchen. How will you feed yourself? »
And with this question, I shut myself up. She is right. Without she, I would starve.
So I followed her in silence with a defeated era on my face
We head for the boat that is in the dock. We got its into the base but I think we should have left its outside. We took a long time to get it in and we already have to get it out.
"What a waste of time"
Finally, after 20 minutes of struggling to get the boat out, we finally left for the unknown
.
___Jump in time___
.
It's been 1 month since we left.
1 whole month of pure boredom.
Hecate won't let me do anything. She does everything and I do nothing.
And it's not wrong to have tried to help.
I tried to sail with the boat, she yelled at me like I killed her cat.
I tried to cook but she refused to give me the food needed to do so.
I tried to control what she calls "turret" but got the same reaction as when I tried to navigate.
And when I ask what can I do, she tells me to go to sleep.
So, at some point, I had a discussion with her. Finally, when I say a discussion, I would say more of an argument.
During our argument, I asked why she wouldn't let me do anything and that answer made sense. She wouldn't let me do anything because what she does, navigating the boat, controlling the turret, and many more, is very complex and I don't know how to do them.
Of course, I replied that she should teach me instead of yelling at me and leaving me on the sidelines.
And then she replies that she doesn't have time. That she has more important things to do
What do you mean, Not enough time?! It doesn't take hours to explain to me which buttons do what!
And she has more important things to do! What calls more important than to teach me is to walk around the ship! It clearly means that I am less important than a ride!
This answer she gave me pissed me off so much that we know we're beaten.
And the fight was quite violent!
We fought for just a few minutes but it was more than enough for me to knock her out.
And I'm not going to lie, but it felt good!
This argument made me feel good, but it made our relationship worse.
After this argument, she no longer speaks to me, when we meet, she ignores me, she no longer sleeps in the dormitory and she no longer eats at the same time as me.
And when I try to talk to her to improve our relationship, she avoids me.
Anyway, if it continues like this, our duo will break up and I don't want that to happen.
I can't take my revenge and reclaim the throne without her. Also, I don't want to lose a friend who reached out to me while the others turned their backs on me.
So, I have a plan to sort this all out.
My plan is simple, if she can't avoid me, then she will have to listen to me.
So, I'll make sure to lock us inside a room and I'll talk to her.
And I have already planned a discussion plan.
First, I will apologize to her for knocking her out and yelling at her.
Then I will calmly tell her how I feel about not doing anything and that I will be really happy to help.
And if she finds an excuse for me not to help, then I will find a counter argument to change her mind and all that, calmly, without argument.
And finally, we'll hug each other and everything will be back to normal.
"Well, it's time to act now"
With my foolproof plan in mind, I set off in search of a room where Hecate often goes and where I can lock us in.
And luckily, it didn't take me long to find the perfect piece for it.
« Perfect , the ammo storage room »
