11 CHAPTER 11:

"Well, did you talk to mom?" brother Cedric asked, "Yeah I did, she gave me 2 health potions. So where did the client we will meet at??" I inquired.

"They tod us to meet them at the Checky port, at 7 AM in the morning. Now hurry, we need to reach it fast, since it's nearly 5 and the port is pretty far."

Brother then started running, before jumping and landing scarcely in the rooftop, "What??" he asked looking at me.

"How did you do that?? You jumped so high!! and you were so fast too!! I could barely keep up!!" I asked with stars in my eyes.

"I used the body reinforcement spell. You used it too, against the bear!" brother Cedric responded, while looking at me as if I was asking something stupid, which probably was in his eyes.

"I did??" I asked, "Uhmm, yeah you did!! Otherwise you wouldn't have reacted to the bear!!" that wasn't very comforting to hear but also good.

"Not like anything bad would have happened again, cause father was 2 seconds away from jumping in" seeing me stunned he added "now activate the spell, and jump over!!".

"Okay!!" I quickly answered and got into position to jump.

I started circulating mana inside my body, feeling it become very light and sturdy, I then leapt towards brother. I jumped a story tall house and landed flat on my face on the rooftop.

"Brother everything felt so slow, I could hear the woman in this house scream while the man..." I started saying as I got up from the ground, "NOPE!!! Come on let's go!!!" Brother interrupted me before dragging me off the roof.

It took us about 15 minutes to reach the port, in this trip I learned how to continuously concentrate on using the spell. I also thought that since I have a very high amount of mana and since this spell only use a little bit, why not use it all the time.

"Took you long enough!! Why the hell are you being payed for, if you don't show up on time!!" Shouted a short man with chubby fingers that were pointing at us.

He had some wisps of white in his black hair, brown eyes and a short not well kept black beard, what I could see of his face was so red I think he will expose, I don't know if he is red due to either anger or fatness.

And to top it all off, he was wearing a red set of clothes with a pointy red hat, some of his teeth were missing while others were rotten black.

"We are here now, and we are payed to protect you when we are at sea. Are you scared you might be attacked in the middle of the city?" brother responded.

"A smartass aren't we?? I don't want..." The man was saying before being interrupted "Ahhhh!! Connington I presume!! Please excuse the captain, he lost a bet and now he is angry." Said a tall man from the boat.

He was wearing a green tunic with a black bottom, he had black skin his hair was long and black, his eyes were hazel with more brown in them than green paired with some the whitest teeth I had ever seen.

"There won't be a problem as long as this doesn't repeat itself again!" brother said with a commanding tone.

"No. No it won't, isn't that right captain?", the man gave a look to the captain "No it won't!!" the captaine said turning his back to us and getting into the boat while shouting at his men.

"So who is the little kid??" the man asked, after he got down to our level in the dock. "My brother and a very powerful mage, you better not underestimate him or you will pay dearly." brother said.

"If you say so, then it must be true. Please get on board, but first le lt me formally invite you into Baldwing." the man said bowing to us and stepping aside for us to get on to the ship.

The boat had an eagle at the bow, with a hull far too elongated. There were 2 built masts in the middle of the boat, one was bigger than the other and placed in the front of the boat at the deck level.

"Loosen the ropes!!" We heard the captain shout from the wheelhouse, he was staring the helm. After turning the wheel starboard he shouted "Set sails!!" and the sails came undone, the boat moved out of the port area and we were moving at a mild speed.

I have to say that riding was not as good as I thought, as I felt dizzy thanks to all the sharp turns the boat was making. When we reached the Ragman's Harbor also known as the Outer Harbor, In the corner of my vision I could see a pair of purple eyes looking at the ships, it was the short kid with the long silver blond hair.

I kept staring in that direction, I could see so well even from this distance, "Full speed ahead!!" I was awoken from my daydream by the captain's shouting.

"Hey Jade!! How does it feel to be at the sea for the first time??" I heard brother ask, "It's okay." I responded. "Only Okay! I was expecting a more enthusiastic response.".

"This way please my lords." said the tall man, he then took us under the ship to the crews cabins, and right at the end there were 2 doors next to each other.

"This room (The right one) will be yours. I will be in the room adjacent to yours. If you ever need anything do tell me. By the way the name is Zorroquol Qho." Said the man with flourish as he half bowed.

"Thank you. We will." I said outstretching my hand for a shake, the man then took my hand and shook it.

Afterwards we separated ways with Zorroquol and went to the room, it was a pretty small room with two beds stacked on top of each other, there was a desk made of simple wood with 2 drawers.

I took the bottom bed, not because I was forced or anything I just liked the bottom bed, and we decided to share the desk.
