6 Chapter 5 The High Seas and The Seven Seas

Word will get out that there are demons traveling in the seas and they head east.

"Okay, so we need to go to grassland, but it on the other side of the world."

Roki look at the map and he was hoping not to run into nobody in the seas but like always Roki is new to this world and he doesn't know what laid ahead of his journey.

"This is not good," Ruby said

"Yeah, Ruby right. We should have headed west."

Skia was looking worried about the mist and the aura she scents through the air.

"Why should we head west for?"

"Because Roki the seven seas kingdom own the seas."

Roki was trying to look through the fog but he couldn't see anything.

"Why is it that I can't see anything?"

A loud creep was rubbing against the boat and They didn't like that.

"What was that?" Ruby ask

"It came from the pork side."

Roki looks over in the saltwater and there he was having problems seeing anything due to the blackness of the water and there he has shown a large scale in the water.

"What the hell is in this water?"

"It can be two things. First, a large fish. Second, a leviathan." Heather said

"What?"

Roki was hoping for something less dangerous on their journey this early on.

"We need to figure out what we going to do about a sea serpent."

"What you think? We have to kill it so we can keep going."

"Heather, I like your energy but this isn't going to be easy."

"Like, you said. It isn't going to be easy ahead. You can go back into deep dark despair again if you want to."

"I said, I not going to do that again but we talking about something that is far dangerous than any fish."

"We all know that but we can't run away from it."

"I know and I want to make sure that we all on the same page."

Heather wanted to smile and believe but she just couldn't yet.

Annie got her bow out.

"What that bow made out of?"

"It made out of ancient magic that was pass down to me by my forefather and now I hold a great beauty that can even put fear into any angels above."

Roki couldn't help to hear she say angels and he was hoping that there are winged being that has blonde hair and a light that can blind any man.

"Annie."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Roki didn't want to ask the question about angels and just stay focus on the task in front of them.

A large bang from one side to the next side.

"Where is it?"

The mist disappears and there it was. A large wave was larger than any tall building. Inside the wave, there were two beating blue eyes and the wave got closer and there it was a sea serpent that could probably be a few meters tall.

Annie took aim and her arrows may harm the serpent but it not powerful to kill the serpent and so Heather threw her spear and it didn't do anything to the serpent and then it rose from the sea.

The blue scales and the blue eyes of the serpent and seem more like a dragon and a snake combine but its fin was as large as land and there it was a large and long tail that could slash through anything.

Its size was no joke but its speed was amazing. It moves faster than anything bigger than they had ever seen before and Annie's arrows weren't going to do any damage to the serpent and then it came up and its attack.

"it coming," Ruby said

Its large fin had slashed the bottom of the ship and they were going down and they couldn't escape but Limir told Roki about how he can defeat the serpent.

"Listen, lad, the leviathan may be aggressive but you can defeat it."

"How can I defeat it?"

"You got me. The great sage."

"Yeah, a great pain."

"Come on lad, jump into the water and fight on it tuff."

"What that sounds like a dumb idea."

"Do you got any ideas?"

"No."

"Okay then shut up and listen to me then."

Roki looks down in the water and he soon jumps in it.

"Where is he going?" Heather ask

"I don't know but please be safe," Apple said

Roki couldn't see anything in the black waters.

"Use your demon's eyes to see the beast."

Roki eyes turn purple and he looks at the ocean floor and he has seen all types of sea life and there it was the leviathan. Its presence alone could scare Roki a little.

"Okay, here goes nothing."

Roki charge in and Limir told him to go for the top of the head.

He hit the serpent in the head and there he had not even scratched the monster.

"You call that an attack."

"Shut up Limir."

Roki had done it again and the Leviathan had cost a water tornado and he was sucked into it and he was going around in circles and he was trying to get out of the tornado and the leviathan had attacked the ship once again.

"No," Roki said

He broke out of the tornado and he had hit the head of the serpent while it jumps from the black sea and he had gotten a spear that was well crafted by dwarfs.

"Crack."

The large sound of a skull being fractured and the beast head was gushing blood and it did a roar and it went down and cost the waves to be as tall as his head and his blue eyes could be seen through the water.

"Here it comes lad," Limir said

"I know."

Roki had spun his spear around in the water and hoping to reverse the water to their advance and there he had a large whirlpool and the wave start to slow down and the ship wasn't being beaten up like it was before.

The ship took some major damage but it could sail about a few days until it collapsed and Apple and Skia were trying to keep water out from underneath the ship but the damage is too major for them to stop the alter form coming in.

"We out of options,"

"I know, Apple but we in the middle of the sea."

Apple looks worried.

Roki soon uses the water against the serpent and there he would attack it with a large vortex of water and it hit its head and its eyes and it cut the top corner of where his eyes are at and he charges in and open his mouth.

"Dammit."

It had Roki in its mouth and it was trying to close its mouth but Roki had it kept opening and there he had water come to attack the serpent at high speed.

The force from the water was so powerful that it spit out Roki and it was bleeding inside and he was afraid.

Roki was scared to fight such a beast but yet he would never once look away from the beast and he would grip his spear tight and he would look back at his friends.

"You too tense," Limir said

"Get off my back. I trying here."

"I know lad, but you need to have fate in them."

"I know but I felt like I letting them down by every passing minute."

"You're not."

"Limir, you all-knowing. You know I can't protect them not at my current power level."

"You may be right lad, but staying weak is a lot worsted."

"I see."

Roki had use fire and he steams up the seas again and he had used it for cover and he had thought of using three elements. Fire, water, and wind.

"Clever."

Limir was surprised but knew that he would figure it out on its own and he was calling upon lightning to sled the serpent and he strikes the lightning down upon the beast and it was so powerful that the steam would disappear again.

The serpent had risen from the sea but dead filling the seas with its blood and it spread throughout the area.

"He did it," Heather said

Apple and the others look happy to see that he did it but there was no time to celebrate because the ship was sinking in the sea and they jump into the bloody water.

"This is nasty," Ruby said

"Ugh," Charl said

Roki come up and he was cover in the beast's blood and they thank him for being a hero this time.

"Finally did something that is hero-like," Heather said

"Thanks, but we got to make sure that we are out of this water."

Apple had used her wood magic and she had made a boat large that could fit everyone in the boat and also oral.

"Thanks, Apple." Everyone said

"You're welcome."

Roki had blood all over him but he couldn't clear himself.

"We need to find some land. Quick." Ruby said

"Over there," Annie said

She points at an island.

"Guys, we in the seven seas kingdom now."

"So that the seven seas kingdom island huh?" Roki said

"Yeah lad, but it might be a way to blend in without being notice by anybody."

"What that Limir?"

"Blend in with the people."

They went to the island where they would cover their face so nobody would get to notice who they might be and they also smell so they would never get anybody to find them mysterious.

"You can go on through and take a bath please."

The guard covers his nose and he couldn't breathe that must and the smell was going through a lot of the area and they rush to the bathhouse near the shore and away from the main inner city.

"I the only guy."

"I go search the area. Things can change over time. I will be back."

Limir went to go searching for any information and Roki was taken a shower in the bathhouse and he was looking around and it was a lot of guys in the bathhouse and he was cover in blood.

"You must have a rough night."

"Yeah."

"I have never seen you here before. What your name?"

"My name R. Yours?"

"My name is Devin."

"Nice to meet you Devin but what you do here."

"I work at a blacksmith place down the street and I one of the best ones."

"Oh, so you must be famous around here."

"Well, you can say that but I only did one or two but they never broke before."

Roki couldn't put his finger on it but he probably does need a blacksmith but he needed to know if he can trust him first and so he wanted to see what he wanted to craft something for him.

"Devin, can you craft anything?"

"Yeah, anything."

"Okay, can you make a sword for me that can go forth and when I call it back it will return to my hands?"

"That sounds like something out of a fantasy world but I will need some time to craft it."

"Okay, I give you three weeks."

"Three weeks."

"What? You can't do it."

"No, I can do it just fine. I have it finish in three weeks."

"Good."

Roki had washed and drunk some milk and the other came out and they were so clean that they were shining.

"You guys have fun?"

"Yeah," Apple said

"It has been a while when I have a good decent bath like that one," Skia said

Roki notices that everyone was smiling but Heather and she felt down every sense she told some of her stories to them.

"What wrong with Heather?"

"She always likes this. She the odd one that never smiles or laughs."

"I see."

Roki had gone up to Heather and she didn't want to see Roki not all.

"Why are you getting me the cold shoulders?"

"Don't ask dumb questions. I going to my hotel room."

"Okay."

Roki decided to tell them tomorrow about the blacksmith but he wanted to keep it a secret until he can trust him fully.

Roki went to his room by himself and the others were feeling sleepy from today and Roki couldn't sleep but to think about his whole story up till now.

"Mother, brother. You guys won't believe it but I met some people and they are my new family but I just can't seem to make them happy. I always fail to keep my promise but I learning day by day. I hope you guys in a good place."

Roki looks up at the nightly skies and he also looks at the moon tonight and it was a full moon.

"Mother."

Roki heard something across the next room and it was where Heather was.

"Should I go check up on her?"

Roki wanted to see if she alright but he didn't want to get yelled at and so he looks from the door and there he has seen that she was talking in her sleep and he wanted to make sure that she stop crying.

"What can I do to make her stop crying? I better go."

"No, don't leave me alone. Please stay."

"She."

Roki slide the door open and he rubs her hair and he had slept in the same bed and he said, "I'm sorry."

Heather cried through the night but less scared.

The next morning, Heather open her eyes and see that Roki was in her bed and she was so angry that she slaps him awake.

"What was that for?"

"What are you doing in my bed!?"

"I was trying to help from crying so much."

Heather face turn red and she tries to slap him again but Roki grab it,

"I don't want to have bad blood between us."

"Well, you got it dammit."

"Why?"

"You know why you weep."

"I not a weep. You may not like me but we all went through the same thing bit different events, I just trying to make that you and I can have a good relationship."

"Get out and never return."

"Okay be that way then."

Roki left and Heather was at her weakest and Roki see it last night. She has a big fuss about it for a few minutes.

Roki left and to go see about the kingdom and Limir will report to Roki if something happens to them.

He went to through the kingdom and what Limir told him before he left was weird.

'I have seen that the kingdom never went to war with any of the mainland forces before."

"What that impossible?"

"No, I try to see if they were lying but they weren't, and then there no king that guides them. It a group of people that call the shots around here and they seem like bad news."

"Like how?"

"They seem like nobles."

"What that suppose to mean?"

"Nobles people is never a good sign."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean. They might be doing something that might get us in trouble and make them some rich people. Be careful nothing is scarier to see a madman with power."

Roki will have to discover the truth but without them finding out who he willing is for the next few weeks.
