The sun lowered like a wave across the sand,the night sky looked brighter than the dry dunes during the burning day,the cool wind was sending chils over the crew's spines.
The mermaid team has split to prepare the camp for the night,Kammy were putting the sleeping bags on the cold sand while Redda was setting the fire for the night and it's the same fireplace she will cook,in the desert there's nothing much for you to choose to eat,but luckily they have three lunatics around them.Of course they will turn everything into competition,Lumir,Arthur and Ogun were
catching birds.These birds from Solharbor were enormously larger,one of them is easily around the same size as the Qupi.
-One,Two..Five...
-Ten,Twelve....Fifteen.
-Eight..Nine...Thirteen.
-YOU TWO STOP TALKING WITH ME!!!
Said these three while they were in the air,one of the birds hit Lumir as he was talking and he fell over one pillar that was holding some temple,the pillar broke and the temple was barely holding anyway.
-Ha,losser,one birds is enough to knock you out.
-Cut it out clown,at least I am not blonde.
-You two are pathetic,I've catch more birds that two of you combine.
-Shut up white hair,you talk like my grandfather.
-Do you.....Wait what,what is Jore doing.
They turned just to see how jore was chugging a barrel with moonshine.
Talo and Demi were cheering him like they've seen something like that for the first time.
-CHUG!CHUG!CHUG!CHUG!CHUG!CHUG!
-HOORAYYY!
-The giant wasn't even tipsy yet,his anatomy is stranger than the humans,his body can absorb and process more alcohol than a normal human.
-AHHHH...I can drink ten more,Talo,Demi..Go get another barrel.
-And where do you think we can find one,this was the last one on the Mermaid Princess.
-Also why would we carry an alcohol with us,you are the only one that drink this shit.
-Yeah totally,it has a bad taste either.
Said the twins sticking their tongues out.
-You two wanna know why I drink it?
-Yea why not.
Talo and Demi synchronized their voices.
-Go get another barrel.Do you really think that I would go on a journey without getting a drink?
-Yea,Talo will go.
-Nah.Not a chance.
-Do these morons ever stop talking?Said Arthur egotistical and proud like the world owned him a favor.
-Shut up blondie,you are the same....Even worse..You talk high and mighty,what's next?Ride a horse?
-Does ever a horse kicked you in the nuts?...
Believe me I kick harder than them.
They were threatening each other like wild animals chasing their prey.
Like always,Kammy's nerves were barely holding together,imagine a dynamite whose fuse was already lit.
-CUT IT OUT!
-IF I HEAR ONE OF YOU SCREAM AND SHOUT ONE MORE TIME A KICK IN THE NUTS WOULD SOUND LIKE GOODNIGHT STORY!!!!
-AM I CLEAR?
-Yes ma'am
-How can someone swallow his pride so fast?Said Lumir to Arthur,his lungs were full of laughter,he was trying not to expose this joy of his.
-Look at it,it's a demon.How can someone have a pink hair.
Was this Arthur's funeral?
The whole Solharbor herd their laughter.They were holding their stomachs,barely able to catch a breath.
-Hey Ogun...Lumir spotted another massive bird crossing the brighter night sky.Lumir jumped and said.....Catch.
He threw the bird at Ogun.
-WAIT..The bird stomped him,burying him under the sand.
-I think we have enough meat for tonight.
-Let's see who will eat the most.
-BET
-BET
-BET
-Hey Redda!
-What you want sky boy.
-Here,we have the dinner...
As the stars were moving along side with people's dreams and the campfire smoke was filing the air with wooden aroma and roasted chicken,the eating contest was at its peak.Their mouths were like plushie,the forks were moving in every single corner of the plate were food was placed,at that rate Arthur,Lumir and Ogun were eating faster than a vacuum machine.
-Talo look.Said Demi with menacing smile.I put a hot sauce in one of the chickens,hehe,Lumir hates hot sauce.
-Genius,Ive put moonshine in them too,we will se them drunk.
-When you say it now,I will not drink moonshine again,EVER
-I still taste the alcohol in my mouth,blahhh.
Arthur started to shake like a snake on the sand.He swallowed the food with his last effort.
-Whyyyy am I feeeling dizzzy.He grabbed Lumir sleeping bag and dozed off immediately,like stone occupies his ground that even a river could not move.
-Get out of my sleeping bag you dumb looking scumbag.
-AHHHHHHH this chicken is hot,it's hot,it's hot!!Who put hot sauce in swear.Sudenly Kammy threw a stone hitting Lumir in the head.
-Jeez I hate loud people.Right Roachie.For the first time I see a enormous bug that can purr.Redda thank you for the food I think I might go to sleep too.It will be a long day tomorrow,especially with these two.
She looked at lumir and Arthur with anger.
-Yea I know,I promise to beat them up together.
-Do not forget your words!
For now the horror of Solharbor's destroyed history and buried mystery was just a fraction of what was going to happen later.The Crew was asleep,Arthur stole Lumir's sleeping bag,even a monster could not budge him of.As for Lumir,he layed on the pillar he broke earlier,it was more comfortable than to have sand in the ears.Ogun on the other hand could not sleep well,he was moving around the sleeping bag trying to catch some sleep but his thouths were louder than the need to rest.
With the moving moon a small figure emerged from the dark dunes.She was wearing a lime silk robe,her hair and her eyes were silver,shining brighter that the moon,her presence filled the whole surface with unknown power like mist across the raining forest during autumn,it was invisible to normal people.For the first time in their life's some of the crew felt undeniyng pure fear.Terrified,Arthur,Lumir and Ogun waked up.After them Talo and Demi waked up due to dizziness and a hadeche,not because of the alcohol,but because they can sense her presence just a little,the other crew members were asleep.Her silver eyes reflected the light that came out of the moon like a mirror reflecting a lite during a scorching day.
Out of fear,Lumir said barely above whisper.
-If we attack her,we'll die!
-I mean no harm.She said with a mistake voice,she sounded like a siren from a mythical story,soft and relaxing voice mixed with monstrous presence.
-I'm here to tell you the truth.The buried thruth about the world!I'm Selene,I've been following your journey for a while,your bravery in Apple village is what the world needs right now,the heroes that has the courage to liberate the weak from the chains you've been calling Nero.
-W-Who a-are you?Said Ogun trembling.
-You must be the captain,you're quite mysterious.Like I told you,I mean no harm.
From the noisyness the others started to wake up.The cold night took further step like graveyard full of ghost haunting your soul and dreams.
-OHHHH my head hurts!!
-Mine too!!It's like someone stabs me in the head.The pain is unbearable!
The twins rarely felt physical pain,perhaps it's because of their nature wildness they possess.Even if they feel pain they rather shut it off without making a noise or bother someone to take care of them.Is it something urgent?What are they feeling now.Neither of them could answer these simple questions.
-You two!
They looked at Selene,grunting and pinned down holding their heads like their lifes depending on it.
-Possess an incredible gift.Have tou herd their name dear.Selene looked at Demi.
-The Whisper of All?
She could not answer straight even if she knew the answer.
-Perhaps I rather not torturing your weak mind.
-What is going on here?
Kammy said worried for the others,it's her usual behavior,acting like a mother but she could not take care of herself.Always putting the others first.
-Who is she?
-Punk hair do not move! Said Arthur.For the first time in four hours he said something serious to Kammy.Maybe the situation is really serious.
-What are you talking about?This lady looks harmless.Look how cute she sits on the sand with her closed legs and look at her hair it's so smooth.
-Miss mind I ask you,how old are you?
-Thank you dear,but this information can wait for now.From what I see,this freak show that you've called a crew has weaklings.
-What do you mean miss?
-The only strong people that this freak show has are these three over there!
-These morons?Stupid Lumir,stupid Arthur and stupid Ogun?You are joking with me right.Like they were the only one that are scared of you.Look at these two over there,they are shouting in pain.
-They were the only one that can sense my presence.On the other hand young lady.You,the fatty with the giant spoon and the literal giant over there can't even feel the small amount of my spirit.You are weak.That shot Kammy faster than a bullet.
-You want to know the truth about Solharbor and Solion right?Let's make ourselves comfortable,shall we?Said Selene with sirene voice and a grinning smile.The graveyard so called Solharbor would peel it's zest.And the venom would start to emerge on the surface.The thruth will shatter the word more than a earthquake.Can the word start healing again or the pull of the void will be harder than the light itself.
