Chapter 13: Sophie and Adam, the new pirates.

- We are flying - shouted Adam - it's a school that you get to by flying.

It seemed that the boy had the soul of an adventurer.

- It's a haunted castle - Jacob pointed to the black castle with needle towers - shall we go to that one?

- I see you in Prince Jacob's face - Sophie replied, amused - although Adam has it too, so I'm not sure.

- But the other one is pink - the children complained.

- I want to go black - Adam asked.

- Look closely - said Sophie - it's half pink, half blue, the boys should be on the blue side - she clarified.

- I really agree with them, I prefer black - Agatha joined.

-Agi - Sophie scolded - someone will have to go pink with Blue, and you're not helping.

- I'm sorry - he apologized - he doesn't wait - I exclaim as he falls back into the situation - you shouldn't surrender so easily to this.

- And what do you propose? Jump? - replied Sophie.

- Bad idea! - the children chanted, while shaking their heads hard.

While we were arguing, we came to the school of good.

- Obviously we're not going to jump... aaaahhh!

The Stymphal released Agatha and Jacob into the school of good.

- Noooo!!! - shouted Adam when he saw his brother and his new friend fall into the void.

- Calm they will fall into water, I saw a lake, they are wet, but fine - he reassured the boy.

-Sure? - Adam's lip trembled as he held back tears.

Splash!!

At that moment a splash was heard in the water and shortly after a girl blurting out words inappropriate for a lady.

- Yes, look at the stories, if they lived all that it is because they arrived alive - explained Sophie, ignoring the obvious confirmation of health that brought the expletives of her friend.

-Oh! - Adam said as he looked over Sophie's shoulder - true - he agreed.

- Look on the bright side - continued Sophie trying not to memorize Agatha's drunken sailor vocabulary - we did not touch the pink castle, and in this one you will learn to be a pirate.

-Yes!!! - he said, raising his arms.

Good thing Sophie had it well gripped.

- Keep hands and feet securely fastened at all times - Sophie reminded the little dared.

Adam hugged him firmly again.

"Alex, some way not to fall into dirty water without changing it for death"

——————————————————-

IF YOU USE THE TALENT OF "NATURAL CONNECTION WITH EVIL" YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE STYMPH OR GARGOYLES TO A LESSER EXTENT.

THERE SHOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY IN REACHING LAND SAFELY AND NEATLY.

"I didn't see it on the skills panel"

IT WAS OBTAINED BY LEAVING GAVALDON.

THE BARRIER THAT PROTECTS THE PEOPLE SEEMS TO RESTRICT ALL DARK MAGIC.

BE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE.

Okay, then just ask for it please, easy.

- Excuse me sir - Sophie began to talk to the bird - could land to drop us off at school, is that we would rather not get wet.

The bird turned to see her with her sockets seemingly without eyes.

Sophie noticed that, if she had, at the bottom a small, blood-red one in the center of the basin.

It should scare her, but for some reason he didn't.

- Why would I? - I hear the bird in his mind and, through Adam's face, so does he.

- I have steak, so much delightfully sewn to the exact point, medium and raw, that it seems to you one of each just to leave us safe on the ground - decided to try tempting it with food.

Bribery was always one of the best weapons of evil, and he didn't think a bird needed money, so this was his best option.

Worked.

The bird seemed to think about it for a minute, but then agreed.

- Okay - I accept and began to descend carefully.

-Thank you! ~- The girl sang happily.

- He won't throw us - Adam asked surprised.

- No, luckily, the water on this side looks anything but clean - Sophie commented humorously.

They both saw how the lake on this side was more of a swamp than a lake.

With waters between brown and green, that did not seem the best for a morning dip.

The stymph landed on a single leg with grace and lightness unbecoming of the size and appearance it presented.

He opened his claws and let them go down carefully.

From her storage space, Sophie took out three types of steaks, one after the other.

The stymphon took them all in its beak and after nodding with recognition towards the girl, it flew away.

Adam finally put his feet, somewhat wobbly, on the ground, after what felt like a life and a sigh at the same time.

To that point, he did not let go of his sister's hand.

Other boys fell into the lake and Sophie was shocked for a second, before sending a thumbs up to her sponsor.

In front of her had just fallen Rafal Japeth Mistral and Aric Lesso.

Sap of 2 witches who would not prepare the joke, but she was willing to help them laughing for the three.

- Damn chicken! To the blonde if you lowered her to the ground - Aric complained to the sky where she supposed there was another stymphal.

- I'll make you soup if I catch your skinned pigeon - shouted Japeth beside him.

- Hear that bone broth is very healthy, but I don't think it applies to this type of bird - Sophie said for fun.

If the characters in the finished original story had heard her, they would ask her if she was suicidal.

The two boys glared at her.

- How did you get me to leave you on the floor? - Aric demanded to know.

- Did you smile at him? - Japeth asked sarcastically.

- I bribed him with meat - Sophie replied matter-of-factly.

They blinked in surprise, they didn't expect such a direct answer.

They almost looked tender with those faces of lost.

- It's serious- Japeth asked for confirmation.

- Yes, it was great! - said Adam excitedly.

The boys turned to see him.

Ar- Not too young to study here?

AD- Yes, if I am - answer Adam.

Sophie wanted to cry with pride, her little brother did not miss the opportunity to make a reference.

RJ- And what do you do to whom?

AD- The director brought me?

-Why? - the boys chanted as they emerged from the water with their suitcases.

- By mistake - Sophie replied - I was trying to anchor, so they wouldn't take me, but it lacked weight - she said as she tickled Adam's belly.

- Haha, no, haha... Wait- I try to stop the child - I'm going to grow up- he said.

- It has less to do with your weight and more with the fact that we kidnapped a couple of built-in wardrobes - clarify Sophie.

-What is that? Adam asked as Sophie reloaded him.

- A way to tell men that they are tall, broad-backed and very strong - he explained.

- Like them? - he said, pointing to the boys.

- They still lack a little height, but at most in two years they will be - he said looking at the 15-year-olds, who were about to reach 6 feet.

- We're still here - Aric complained.

- I would never forget it.

Sophie winked at them and I saw how surprised she was by their chutzpah.

- You're pretty cheeky - Japeth commented.

- That's what they say, and I don't deny it - I comment Sophie amused - I prefer to say that I am frank.

While the boys were amazed at his "insolence".

I know you heard more splashing when more students started arriving.

- Wou!- exclaimed a guy passing by Sophie - your hair is very shiny, can I touch it?

-No.

- Witches don't have princess hair - tried to bring her hand closer.

- Touch my sister and I cut your balls off while you sleep. - Adam threatened.

The boy I identify as Hort stopped in his tracks and took a step back, but then he recomposed himself and took his chest.

- You talk to a pirate kid - he boasted.

AD- Are you captain?

HR- Eh, no.

AD - First officer?

HR- No

AD - Second?

HR- No

AD - Master?

HR- No

AD - Boatswain?

HR- No

AD - Helmsman?

HR- No

AD - Then what do you brag about?

HR- ...
