Well, I apologize to those who were bored with my prevoius story. . . I write pretty much 2 chapters a day, and release a chapter the next morning. PM me if you want some sneek previews, but I might not neccesarily give them to you. You’ll just have to try =]. I released this chapter early because the previous one wasnt much of a story, but an intro for a new character in the story. ENJOY!

Lil Turtle: So, Chris, what about the Spearman?
Me: Heh, let him stay hospitalized. He aint gonna go no where the way I got him.

Sam raised an eyebrow.

Sam: You always were the type who always got into arguments.
Me [laughing]: Yeah, that’s SO true
Lil Turtle: I second that!

We walked up the tower. I continuely launched my new shiny Ilbis at Jr. Pepes. I always stole their fishy food. As we approached a giant floating rock, Sam opened up a bag. He handed each of us a scroll. A tower scroll.

Sam: I’ll say an incantation and it’ll take us up to Orbis.

Lil Turtle and I nodded. He whispered an incantation, and within seconds we were floating in no where. The scroll disappeared from our hands and we landed on our feet, in a mass of Jr. Sentinels.

Sam: Let’s go catch the boat!

Lil Turtle and Sam teleported their way towards the station. I quickly Hasted myself and took a shortcut I knew. Suprisingly I beat them there. I bought tickets for the three of us. When they arrived, they stared in amazement.

Me: Beat ya’ll here =]
Sam: Nice!
Lil Turtle: Heh, let’s just go to the boat.

I handed them their tickets. As we boareded the boat, we sat down and talked for a while.

Lil Turtle: Isnt this view lovely?
Me: Um, yeah? Guess it is.
Sam: So, how’d you two er– start “getting together?”

I stared at Lil Turtle with an amused look on my face.

Lil Turtle [laughing]: It’s a very strange story. . . trust me.
Sam: Knowing him (-pointing at me-) anything that involves him is strange.
Me: That’s too true -_-

She briefly explained how we both met, and careful to put in every little detail, including the random kiss and the Spearman beating the living daylights out of me.

Sam: Ah. Smooth move, Chris.
Chris: . . .guess it was =]

A horn signaled that the boat ride was starting. We hastily went into the cabin.

Sam: We dont want to meet any unwanted guests do we? I suppose these cheap “enchantments” will keep up safe.

He was knocking the wall with his knuckles, to find out the cabin was made only of wood, and nothing much. The trip was supposed to be 10 days long, but it didnt provide much comfort. We all three sat on the wooden floor, with nothign much to do.

Me: Anyone up for a little Omok?
Sam: You remember you’re playing with me, right? I believe you still owe me 5k in mesos.
Me [grudgily]: Here you go.

I handed over a small sack filled with mesos.

Lil Turtle [disapproving look]: Chris. . .you gamble?
Me: Nah, only on long trips.
Sam [grinning]: You mean the 5 day trip to Victoria Island, from Maple Island? You made me rich that day. I still got that headband you put in for 1k.
Lil Turtle: Chris, wanna play– just for fun?
Me: Uuh, sure.

We each took turns playing Omok. I took out my Mushroom and Octo set. I never won a game however. I felt pretty embarrased. I decided to cast DarkSight. I went outside to look for the legendary Crimson Balrog. There was nothing, but it the sunset was starting to set. I went back into the cabin.

Me: Sam, Lil Turtle, it’s sunset.
Sam: MAN! I’m hungry!
Lil Turtle: I’m thinking the same thing.
Me: Well, I dont think they supply meals, even for a 10 day trip.

We looked around the cabin. There were only a few other passengers going to Ellinia with us. There was a Magician girl, a bowman, and some shady person. I assumed they didnt have food. I had a whole 2 sacks of food together.

Me [signalling for the others to come over]: You guys want some dinner?

The bowman came over quickly with a hungry look on his face. He bit into a slice of pizza like a lion would bite into steak. The Magician girl came over shyly. She was no older than Lil Turtle and gave a cute smile at me and thanked me for sharing the food. The other shady figure wasnt coming. I shrugged and shared the food with Lil Turtle and Sam.

Me: Dig in!
Sam: Weeeee lets eat! I’m starving
Lil Turtle: Yup~

We eached grabbed a hot dog, a slice of pizza, and a bottle of pure water. The 5 of us finished our food. The bowman thanked me and gave me some Mana Elixers. The Magician girl gave me a small sack of Mesos.

Magician girl: Thank you for the meal.
Me: It was no problem at all.

She walked away, and threw away her trash in a trash can on the deck. When she came back in, she walked over to me and gave me a kiss and a hug.

Lil Turtle [stares and tried to control her temper]: Eh. . .
Sam [laughing]: Haha! This trip just keeps gettin’ better and better. First I meet a new friend, catch up with an old one, I get 5k, a free dinner, and now this!
Lil Turtle [trying to sound casual]: I dont have any clue of what you’re talking about, Sam.

The Magician girl stopped the kiss put held on to me for a while. After a while, she finally let go.

Magician Girl: My name’s Roxxane. I live near Henesys and Ellinia.

She handed me a card with her address.

Magician girl: Visit me some time *wink*.

The girl sctrolled away to the other side of the cabin.

Sam: HAHAHAHAHA! I’m crackin’ up here.
Lil Turtle [smacking Sam on the back of the head]: Be quiet.
Me: Eh. . . nice girl, eh?
Lil Turtle [flaring up]: NICE GIRL?!?!?!?! -cough- I mean. . . yeah, she’s nice.

Sam was nearly dieing from laughter by now because of the events happening in the boat.

Lil Turtle [whispering and talking to herself]: Stupid girl. . . that nice, long brown hair. . . cute face. . . Hugging Chris. . . even kissing. . . makes me sick.

I heard this conversation between Lil Turtle and herself. I wrapped my arms around Lil Turtle to show her I still loved her.

Me: Something wrong?
Lil Turtle: Hm? Oh. . . nothing, nothing at all!
Sam [sarcastically]: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. . .

Just then, as I looked up, I noticed the shady figure was gone. What I saw next was most displeasing. There he was. . . standing right there. . . the Spearman, fully healed!

Spearman [wicked smile]: I’m a bit hungry, but I’ll wait. You hungry?
Me [staring]: No.
Spearman: Good. `Cause where you’re going, you won’t need food.

After those words, he revealed his blood-covered spear and launched a stab at me.

To Be Continued. . .
