Deep into the night, as the ship sailed across the sea a deep sea creature emerges at the surface of the dark water.
*Rumbling*
----------------
The room was dusty and needed some cleaning so the rest of the night Tobi spent his time cleaning the room and getting new sheets.
ATobi cleaned up the room, half way done he steps back to take a good look at the cleaned. He had a smirk on his face.
"Heh, who knew I was this talented at cleaning"
Tobi countinued the clean up whilst humming and having fun as he cleaned up the rest of the room. He comes over a desk that had a bunch of papers and a black pen. Tobi's eyes got really wide! has he just had a brilliant idea!
"I can use these to write letters to my family!"
Tobi let out a little chuckle.
Once Tobi finished the room, he settles down to write a letter to his parents, as he writes the letter he smiles from ear to ear as tilt's his head from side to side. This time as he writes the letter he writes it with no anxiety but confidence that he's excited for the journey he and Crystal are going to venture on.
He knows he's going to live.
"I'm really excited to see the new land I venture into"
Finally, Tobi got rid of his fears and embraced the unknown in very short period of time a sign of true brilliance and courage!
While Tobi displays his gayness at the letter he writes, Crystal stares at from the bed... with mixed feelings, a bittersweet type.
Tobi leaves the room and goes to Alfstrat's office to hand him the letter.
*Knock knock*
"Come in"
Tobi enters the room, still in a good mood as his green eyes gleamed in joy.
'what's up with this boy?' Alfstrat thinks to himself
"When we finally reach Tokishiki, could you please deliver the letters i send to you next time you head for the island" Tobi asks Alfstrat has he hands him the letter he wrote.
"Sure, no problem just be sure to put the address of this ship" Alfstrat said calmly.
Tobi thanks Alfstrat and returns to his room,
"Haaah...now i can sleep-"
Tobi said as he laid down on his bed.
*Lights off*
.....
*Scream!*
"Huh? What was that!"
Just as Tobi fell asleep a loud scream, coming from the dock echoed through the ship. Every one runs towards the direction of the scream. To their horror, a headless member was in the water floating!
"What in the world-"
"The crew member is in the water!" Tobi alerted the rest of the crew.
"but... his head is missing"
Everyone was shaken and shocked by that news... they al rushed to the edge of the ship to confirm what Tobi had just told them... and truly, the head of the member was gone.
'tsk'
"Everyone be on your guard, grab your weapons!"
This time the Captain of the ship was speaking, Leornz Atrichz.
"captain!" everyone exclaimed, they were shocked to see him
"whatever did this is not something that is natural... we have to be very careful, alright!"
"YES SIR!!" The whole answered in chorus. Everyone got ready and prepared to attck the strange creature that attacked their crew member.
Meanwhile...
Crystal runs over to where Tobi was, she eventually found him and was happy and realived that he was okay... at least .
"Tobi! oh god, what happened!"
Tobi looked at Crystal... but there was terror in his eyes.
"Tobi... are you okay?"
"th...there... was...a.."
Unable to complete his statement, Tobi started sweating profusely, muttering words, tears followed from his eyes and he began crying.
Crystal was shocked, she looked at Tobi as her own younger brother seeing him cry made her very worried.
She tried to calm him down many time but nothing seemed to sooth him, Alfstrat overhears what was going between the two and approaches them.
"Young lady, why is your brother crying ?"
"Lord Alfstrat! I don't know why... please take him to your office-"
"NOOOO! WAAAHH!" Tobi screams.
"Tobi calm down!" Crystal shouts
"Waaahh! please don't leave me!"
Tobi grabs Crystal's leg begging her not to leave him alone...Crystal at this point was FED UP!
In a fit of rage, she knocked Tobi out the same way she did the last time.
*KAK!*
Tobi passed out again... Crystal was worried and sighed, she picked up Tobi and carried him in her arms and there she laid him close to the ship wall, a place where Tobi can be safe from any attack.
Crystal was concerned about what really transpired when she wasn't around but there was nothing to be concerned about, everything she saw, Tobi saw the same.
"What in the world made him freak out like that-"
*Rumbling sounds!*
*Bang! Bang!*
The sounds of gun shots echoed across the ship as the crew tried their best to to shoot down the anomaly that attacked them.
*More rumbling sounds!*
*Bang! Bang!*
'oh no... ' Crystal became more concerned about the attacks from both sides, the offence and defense?
'*Bang! Bang!*
'That sound!' Crystal's heart sunk as she realizes something
"EVERYONE! PLEASE CEASE YOUR FIRE!" Crystal begged the crew
"What?"
Many of the men fighting looked puzzled.
"I'm with Lord Alfstrat! so... please listen to me"
She wanted to gain the crew's trust... that's the only way they were going to the defeat the abomination.
Alfstrat heard the sudden cease of fire and came out his office with Leornz.
"Young lady what's going on ?"
Crystal looks at Alfstrat with a fearful expression
"The shots! they're not attacking the animal" Crystal shouts, she hopes in her heart that the people on the ship takes her seriously since she was just a kid... she cold be easily ignored and taken unserious.
"What do you mean by that?" Leornz asked
Captain Leornz, blonde hair with bright amber eyes and fair skin, he is quite young looking than Alfstrat, if he was not the captain of a ship he would be the king. His strong Aura was enough for mere mortals to bow to his command. Crystal could tell by just looking at the tone of his voice.
But, she stood her ground.
"I don't know what animal that is... but it's repelling the bullets from the guns"
"How do you know this ? " Leornz relaxed his face and genuinely asked .
Crystal, relaxed her weary heart and trembling body and tried her best to calmly tell Leornz.
"The shots I heard by listening carefully never hit the target but it hit the ship itself... if goes on we might drown ourselves, If we want to get rid of the animal we might need to bring it on the ship"
After giving a thought about Alfstrat and Leornz agreed, but just as they were about t announce the new plan...
"IT'S GONE UNDER THE SHIP!!!"
"oh no..."
