Dangerous Sea
POV: Baelon
I wake up and see that the sun is coming up, I only slept 4 hours. Getting up from bed, I rinse my face with water and go towards the door on the deck.
Passing through the door I see an old bearded man who seems to have about 70 years and ask :
Who are you, sir?
The man looks at me and says:
"Nice to meet you, I am the captain who will take you to Sharp Point. He spoke in a friendly tone
"Nice to meet you, could you tell me what time we will leave?" I said
"The time you want sir," he said
"My name is Baelon. What is your name sir?
"My name is Arvid sir," he said lowering his head
"Arvid can we leave in 20 minutes?" I asked
"Sure
'' Atlas show me his status ''

Height: 1,74m
Strength: 1,1
Speed: 1,1
Stamina 1,1
General: A great aviator, he worked more than half his life on ships, a sympathetic man but merciless with his enemies. ]
Arvid, please arrange the ship for us to leave, okay? '' I said
"Yes, sir.
/20 minutes later /
'' Sir the ship is ready, can we raise the sails of the ship? '' asked Arvid
"Yes, please," I said.
'' Hello son, how are you? ''
Turning around I see that it is the father and speak :
'' Yes father everything is fine, I am with Arvid preparing the ship for us to leave. I said
You have not met, Arvid is our captain you will see him later '' I said
'' ''Ok son'' said dad
After Arvid released the sails of the ship, we went to where he was, I introduced my father and they started talking, we are currently leaving White Harbor.
After leaving White Harbor, dad, uncle Alex and Arvid are talking and I talk :
'' Arvid, what are the beings that we will encounter on our way? '' I asked
The mood becomes having and he speaks :
'' In my travels by sea, I have encountered many strange animals like Kraken , leviathans , fish-men, sea worms and the most dangerous tontados '' he spoke
"Can you tell us how they are?" I asked
"Sure," he said laughing
The Kraken are mostly up to 10 meters long, they only attack ships when they are hungry, their skin is hard like wood, only swords can cut it, and arrows don't work.
I have only seen one Leviathan in my life, it was over 80 meters tall, its lower part was tentacles and its upper part was fish-man. They mostly stay on islands in the open sea. '' he said in a scared voice
The fishmen are the ones you have to watch out for, their sole purpose is to kill and destroy, they love human flesh, they are at most 1.70 m tall, their weakness is fire, and their skin can only be cut by a sharp sword. We don't know where they come from,'' he said in a sad voice.
Have you lost someone to them?
He looks at me and says :
"My daughter and my wife 20 years ago, they attacked the port in packs, they tore my daughter and wife apart and then ate them.
"Coming back" he spoke
"The sea worms, they love human flesh, they look like cockroaches, only giant and with teeth. They're mostly 1.2 meters long. They mostly stay in the open sea. said Arvid
"The Tontados are different from leviathan, I have seen many, and when you see one just accept your death. They are more than 30 m tall and at the bottom, they have a tail and at the top, they have a huge mouth that can swallow whole men, their skin is as hard as metal, there are reports that only 1 tontado was defeated, which was in a city in Estes. He spoke with even more fear.
They like to attack ships and when they attack coastal towns they go in packs. He said
How did you survive when you were attacked?
People have learned that they don't have good eyesight and smell, so they throw themselves off the ground and cover themselves with dirt, or even feces, and also you can't make noise, they have very good hearing. He spoke with fear.
After we talk some more, he goes to his room and takes pictures of the creatures and shows them to us, and I think:
This changes everything, my strength is still not enough, how will I protect my family from the tontados and the leviathans?
Atlas what is my chance of beating these animals?' I asked Atlas [ Analyzing ...]
[ According to my estimations ....]
[ You could defeat with your current mana and fitness, 6 krakens but also using your sword you would defeat 3 more before dying ]
[ With your current mana and skill, you would die when confronting a Leviathan ]
[ With your current mana and skill you would defeat, 20 fish-men and 15 more using the sword ]
[With your current mana and aptitude you would defeat, 1 tontado using magic and could not use a sword because he is too tall. ]
[ Remembering that these are just estimates, and host possibilities ... ]
'' I'm fucked ''
'' Did you say something son?
'' No, nothing ''
