"Holy Olympus... what is this..." People came on board and were immediately impressed with Alex'es job.
"You guys like it?" Alex asked as he was wiping his hands.
"Like it???!!! They are amazing..." Laszlo punched Alex's back.
The crew expanded to the entire ship, they checked the beds, cannons, and floor, they had never been on such an incredibly comfortable ship.
Andrei wiped his hand on the ship, he took the little sawdust and smelled it.
"It's fresh... you made all of these?" He asked Alex.
"Yes Captain, i indeed made all of this," Alex responded with a smile.
"Wow... this is... nice..." Andrei said this and went towards the wheel.
"GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS ALEX!!!" Paula crowled up on the ship and like an excited kid he ran towards everything.
*Pack* *Pack* *Pack*
He was hitting behind Alex.
"This is incredible, i have seen countless incredible shipwrights in my long life, but no one has been as good as you," Paula said with open eyes, what he was saying right now wasn't to just hype Alex up, he was telling the truth from his heart.
"Hahaha, now now, please calm down Grandpa Paula," Alex said and looked around.
He was about to command everyone to get ready, but he remembered who was the Captain.
Alex looked over to the wheel and raised his eyebrow, Andrei was wiping the color he painted the Wheel as... brown... he did this because of the aesthetic of the entire ship, and because it would be invisible in the sea when people tried to shoot it... now Andrei was wiping it off... His PAINT.
"Krrr...." Alex gritted his teeth and calmed down.
"Captain Andrei, we are ready to sail." He said this.
Andrei looked over and nodded, he yelled out.
"GATHER ON THE DOCK CREW!!!" Andrei put his clothes in his pocket and yelled out.
Laszlo, Miloslav, Ivan, Anzhel, Dimas, and Alex gathered next to each other, they looked like people in the school gym waiting for their teacher to give them something to play with.
It was a hilarious shot.
"Are we ready to sail?!!" Andrei looked back and said this.
"YES CAPTAIN!!!" Crew yelled it out.
"Alright, before we hit the dock i am going to give you some rules, First of all, forget everything you knew about Jason's crew, that is in the past, in my ship, there are going to be my rules. First, never disobey me on anything, if i tell you to lick the floor, you lick the floor, on two-three disobeying is alright since you can't learn the rules this soon, but more than that, and i am going to throw you out in se, Second, never, disobey me in the battle, if i tell you to go block a cannonball in front of me, you do it!!! There are no chances here, if we survive that battle, you better know that i am the one that will kill you later, Third! and most importantly, you need to remember this!!! I AM THE RULE!!! I AM THE GOD!!! I AM YOUR DEITY!!! That's it, get to your jobs." Andrei said this leaving everyone speechless.
Alex's entire face was twitching "They are all the same..." He muttered but sighed, he was going to the cabin.
"Sigh... alright now, I am going to leave you guys to it, please... be safe." Paula sighed and went down.
Everyone got to their jobs, Laszlo went up in the sky pulled down the sailcloth, and Dimas and Anzhel took out the anchor, everyone looked happy doing it.
Alex was left there with nothing to do, and he was more than enough smart not to ask Captain for his job.
He quietly went into the cabin, waiting for his call.
*BSHHHHHTTTT*
Sailcloth waved and finally took the ship out into the ocean.
Dimas looked up from the looktower and sighed.
"It's alright... we will save you, captain." He muttered this and waited for his call.
--
Life on the sea was boring, most of the time you just sat there watching waves enough for it to make you dizzy.
Alex was not out on the dock, where the good smell of the sea and shining bright sun could be seen.
People were talking with each other, some of them were playing a Peteita game similar to checkers, and they were conversing with each other.
Alex was on the bed in the cabin, he looked out in the window and saw how light was shining through from it.
"Was i mistaken?" Alex looked at his hands, he remembered when Jason told the story of how he gained Neus, the pain he felt, he described it well, Alex remembered thinking back then how good of a storyteller Jason was.
"Was that not Neus Awakening?" Alex pulled his back up, he looked down on his hands seeing the lines of the skin.
"Was that some random painful notice?" Alex muttered and closed his eyes.
This time, he tried to concentrate.
"Light... Light... Light... i need to find light... balls of light... anything..." Alex muttered and fully calmed down, he went into meditation, Alex wasn't crossing his legs like other people who tried to go into meditation, he didn't like the pain he was feeling after that.
"Nothing... i feel nothing... just my fantasy..." Alex indeed *saw* the balls of light but, he knew they were just his imagination, they felt fake.
Alex had a condition called Hyper Fantasia, which was when someone lived in a fantasy, got incredible ideas, and sometimes just forgot the real world.
Fortunately for Alex, it wasn't that bad, he had minor symptoms of the condition, but that "Superpower" was one of the biggest reasons he managed to become such a groundbreaking Engineer.
He never ran out of ideas, and with his determination, he always got enough resources to build upon them.
"Am i not able to gain Neus? Or am i just doing something wrong... or do i need the thing Jason used... Hmmm... what was it... cores right? yes, Cores... Damn..." Alex looked out.
"Where in the hell would i find cores here." He sighed and decided to nap a little, it was a beautiful day out there.
And the light coming from the window was illuminating Alex's calm head.
