Some time has
passed upon the Sea Barnacle, the sky dawning a beautiful orange dusk from the
sun starting to come pass the horizon line. The Sea Barnacles sails full of wind,
pushing it ever closer to its destination. "so lad what do ye expect when you
reach Ruachaim?" Peg Leg asked Romerix. "Oh uhh I'm not really to sure to be
honest, I've never really left Rastacor before ahhah." Romerix seemed to be
nervous not really knowing what to expect from Ruachaim or what it has to offer
exactly.
Seeing he was
nervous captain Peg Leg thought and pondered for a moment to think of something
to say in return to bring his spirits back up, then he remembered how of a
night time the Sea looked more beautiful then anything Peg legs eyes laid upon
like a starry night sky full of jewels. "AHAH Romerix me boy I be showin ya
beauties ye eyes never seen before, a few moments from now when the sun leave
this sky to sleep, what ye witness will leave ya be speechless me boy."
Romerix with
a confused frown looked directly at Peg Leg, having no idea what exactly he
could be talking about or what he means. "What....exactly do you mean?" Romerix
asked becoming more confused as time went on. "Just ye wait and watch the sun
go past the horizon line me boy" Peg Leg stated with a smile.
Romerix more
then confused gazed out towards the sun as it finally went past the horizon
line. The sky free of the sun and its golden light dawned the gentle black of a
night sky, one after another were the stars bright and flickering through out
the night sky, more then can possibly be counted. The moon in its crescent
stage and the colour it dawned was a bright white. Romerix stood up from where
he was sitting and stared up at the sky, shocked at the beauty he saw the night
sky bring.
"I had no
idea the sky out here looked so beautiful, I.. I can't even count how many
stars there is. so many of them wow." Peg leg released the wheel from his
grasp, walking with a wobble to the side railing of the Sea Barnacle, placing
his hands onto the side railing, his eyes gazing onto the sea itself. "If ye
think the twinklers are beauties then ye may want to look over here me boy."
Romerix walks
over to Peg Leg and stands beside him, placing his hands upon the railing and
looking over the side of the Sea Barnacle. What he saw was an array of fish of
all different sizes which dawned beautiful and vibrant luminous colours which
ranged from reds, greens, blues, purples and gold. Some of the Luminescent fish
have streaks that go down from head to tail fin, the streaks themselves softly
pulsate, others had spots or blotches across their bodies that would flash brightly.
Romerix was
in absolute awe of what he was witnessing he had never seen such gorgeous fish
in his entire life. "Whoaaa! I've never seen fish that look like those before
they look beautiful, what type of fish are they?" Romerix asked in absolute
awe, Peg Leg having a big smile explained what they are. "These here fish lad are
able to make these here colours come from within them, the locals be callin em
the jewels of Ruachaim which also be meanin we just came into the waters around
Ruachaim. "
Romerix was
surprised to hear such a response from Peg Leg, staring at the fish then
directly at towards Peg Leg with wide eyes. "Wait..are you saying we are nearly
there?" Peg leg returned a look with a wide smile, placing his hands onto his
hips. "Aye lad we be there in the mornin lad at the latest me boy." Romerix
threw his hands up into the air with a cheer. "Alright awesome!, can't wait to
get there heheh." Romerix had a cheeky smile about him.
Peg Leg
released a loud cackle of pure happiness bringing his hand up to his left eye
and wiping a tear away. "Hahahah you be a lively one lad." Romerix rubbed the
back of his head embarrassed of himself. "Ahah sorry bout that I'm just excited
is all." He said a little nervous. Peg Leg placed his left hand upon Romerix's
right shoulder, both proceeding to walk down the stairs leading to the wheel,
to the entrance way that would lead to the cabins within the hull of the Sea
Barnacle. "Well ye be gettin some rest
me boy, spend some time with the lads then get some sleep, we be at Ruachaim
before ye know it."
Romerix nods
in agreement with Peg Leg then heads down the wooden stairs that lead into the
cabins. Upon entering the cabins he would see short stack playing a harmonica,
Hook hand laying on a make shift hemic, Sky tower is sitting upon a wooden rum
barrel, Young bird is laying on his back
with his legs up against the side of the hull and Luciana is whistling along
with the tune of the harmonica. With a smile Romerix spoke up. "Hey guys"
They notice
Romerix after he spoke up, smiles coming across their faces as they were rather
happy to see him. "Hey its Romerix"
Luciana stated while smirking. "Having a grand ol time with the captain
ay Romerix? Hahah" Short stack questioned with a teeth showing smile. High
tower pulled out another wooden rum barrel, the metal trim of the barrel
scrapping against the wood. "Come sit Romerix, Join us." Hightower asked with a
stern expression. Romerix sat down upon the wooden rum barrel a smile upon his
face, surprised how inviting everyone was being.
"Heh I'm
surprised ye haven't thrown up yet Romerix I though ye be a sea dog the entire
trip." Hook hand remarked with a grin. "I'm
surprised too honestly it is my first time upon a ship of any kind actually."
Romerix responded to Hook Hands question. Hook hands lit up with surprise then he
dawned a large smile. "Shall we make the lads first time on this here vessel one
to remember Friends?" Hook hand asked the rest of his crew, there faces dawning
a smile besides High tower who kept the usual stern frown.
Luciana placed
her foot upon the side of a trunk, kicking it over to the crew, Short stack lifted
the lid to the trunk and within was an assortment of different instruments with
the crew proceeding to go up to the trunk and pull a different instrument out of
it, short stack with the fiddle, Hook hand the harmonica, high tower the accordion,
Young bird with the flute and Luciana with the banjo. Romerix had a confused smile,
wondering what they are doing. Before he was possibly able to ask the crew they
began to play the instruments in sync.
Luciana and Short
Stack began to tap their foot against the wooden floor boards of the Sea Barnacles
hull, Young Bird and Hook Hand moving their bodies with the upbeat and catchy tune
and High Tower bopping his head to the beat. Romerix starting to enjoy the instrumental
began to tap his hand against the trim of the wooden rum barrel he was sitting upon.
"This is so cool" Romerix thought to himself, really getting into the beat.
The beat would
change from fast paced and upbeat to slow paced and catch over the course of a couple
minutes with the finale being dragged out a bit with the beat finally coming to
a end. Romerix clapped his hands amazed at how the crew was able to play such instruments
together. "Wow that was amazing guys, I really
enjoyed that. Thank you for making my day better then it already was." With high
appreciation for what they did he thanked each one of them for going out of their
ways to make his trip to Ruachaim more enjoyable then it already is.
"It be no trouble
on our part lad" Short stack said with a teeth showing smile. "glad ye enjoyed that
little melody there Romerix." Hook hand responded with a smirk about him. "We always
love to play a catchy tune on any voyage we be takin lad. "High Tower stated with
the usual stern frown. "As long as ye be havin a jolly time there it be no trouble
to us." Luciana said with a smile about her. Young bird covered his mouth with his
left hand, releasing a soft yawn. "It be getting late time we hit the sacks crew."
Young bird said through a long yawn.
Everyone in agreement
got up from where they where sitting or moved from where they were standing and
headed for the bunks within the cabins, Luciana showed Romerix a spare hammock he
can sleep in, having thanked her he climbed into the hammock with eyes getting heavy
and released a long yawn. "Time for some shut eye, finally going to be at Ruachaim
in the morning." Romerix thought to himself
as he placed his hands onto his chest, the sound of softly churning waves, and the
cool sea breeze and the gentle rocking of the Sea Barnacle brought the young adolescent
into a slow drift of peaceful and comfortable sleep.
