  • It actually felt weird when I set my feet on the ground again.

    Three months had passed when we departed with the mainland.

    Yes, I was only running on wood on three months.

    The sand felt strange and rather squishy.

    My legs felt like rubber, but I managed to hold my balance.

    "You eight, stay here and guard the ship."

    The captain said, pointing at Blue Eye, Skullsen Tailor, Black Guardian, Hardy Sailord, and some other people.

    "Should I stay here?" I asked.

    The captain nodded his head.

    He handed me a small gun.

    I realized it was not for hunting, but for protection.

    Four of those who had to guard the ship was handed guns.

    I was one of them.

    "Captain, I`m not sure if I can shoot well."

    I called after him as the rest of the party went it`s way toward a marsh of trees.

    "You`re young, so you have to protect yourself. We don`t know what it`s like since we`ve never come here before. And that`s why you cannot rely on someone to protect you. You must learn how to survive here, an unknown place to the world. Perhaps."

    He said.

    Just in case, I had it filled with gunpowder.

    The backs of the captain and the rest of his party slowly disappeared from view.

    "Liam." I heard someone say.

    It was Blue Eye. He motioned me to come closer.

    "Bring me an apple." He said.

    I went to the food pantry inside the ship and brought him back an apple.

    "Why did you whisper?" I asked as I handed him one.

    "The captain`s serious that we have enough food for the journey."

    He said slyly.

    A small drop of sweat drifted down my neck.

    He was worried that the captain would blame him that there wouldn`t be enough food

    for the journey.

    Blue Eye started to munch the apple while I just watched him.

    "Stop staring at me, you`re making me nervous for no reason."

    He snapped suddenly.

    I jumped and quickly disappeared at the other direction.

    "Stop!" He pulled out his pistol and fired it.

    It almost hit my left arm, but I managed to miss it.

    Paled and terrified, I ran back to him.

    "What do you want, Mr. Eye?" I asked.

    Mr. Eye spit an apple seed out of his mouth.

    "Nothing."

    "Then why did you tell me to come back?"

    I asked. "And why did you try to shoot me?"

    He shrugged.

    "I tried to shoot you because you won`t obey."

    "But you fired before you gave your orders." I said.

    He said nothing.

    Instead, he asked for a glass of wine.

    Afraid of the thought of me being dead, or maybe even something worse, I ran into the food pantry.

    "White or red?" I called over my shoulder.

    "Red." He replied as he threw his eaten apple over his right shoulder.

    Alas, there was NO red wine.

    I had no choice, but poured a glass of white wine into the cup.

    "Did I ask for white?" Mr. Eye grimaced as he looked into the cup.

    "I might as say you`re deaf, boy." He grumbled.

    "There was no red wine." I said, trying to assure him.

    "Good grief." He murmured as he drank it.

    I watched him for a few miniutes.

    Then, I heard footsteps.

    The captain was back with the crew.

    "You okay, lad?" Mr. Bones rushed to me.

    "I`m fine." I lied.

    But Mr. Bones was too smart for me.

    "Don`t you lie to me, you have a long face."

    He looked at me and slapped his forehead.

    "Of course! It`s Blue eye, isn`t it?"

    I could only nod.

    Luckily, Blue Eye was chatting with Black guardian.

    So, having recived the new warning, I managed to sneak into the ship where I would be safe.
