88 This is so surprising that I must go for a swim! (2/2)
”Why are we going to the outside circle? My friends are here, I need to rescue them.” Terrick said looking over to the only person he knew on the island.
”We need to get to the outer circle to get you a decent plan. I know of a friend who says she knows a secret way to get straight into the fragrant temple.
That's your best shot, and honestly, you don't like remotely like an islander. You won't be able to fit in.” She announced decisively.
”Why are you helping me?” Terrick asked, looking at her with steely eyes. This question had been plaguing him since she had dragged him along.
”You look like excitement.” She replied simply. Terrick merely looked at her, this was an important job that he couldn't afford to screw up. He had no intention of losing the people that he called family as soon as he got them. He had no time to screw around with random people. After all the things he had heard from Breta, a sense of desperation had welled up In him.
At this point he would willingly jump into a trap if it meant that he had a single chance of rescuing them. So, he did the thing that all desperate people would do. He took a chance…

Somewhere out in the empty sea a single sailor could be seen on a ship cussing his mind out. The ship didn't even drift for a second and a look of pure helplessness could be seen in his eyes.
Lorean grumbled darkly as he faced off against the dark and deplorable sea. The only clue he had on the people that had kidnapped his people was the Amazon lily.
The only known settlement that existed on the calm belt, but they did not ride the Yuda the same way that the mysterious women had. They were one of the few islands that he had been interested in back when he lived with his father.
He had read up extensively on their tales and cultures. He knew all about them and that was why he felt this hopeless. They were on the other part of the fucking red line!
With a damning sigh he looked around him once again, a part of him wishing against all manner of deities that existed for his observation Haki to be the voice of all things, but to no avail.
Suddenly the water beside the ship began to split, a blue head could be seen coming from under the water surface.
Lorean recognized this head, how could he not, this was the head of one of the sea kings that Terrick had killed the night before!
The creature regarded him calmly as it looked over, completely different from the feral predatory glare that was associated with most sea kings.
A low toned yelp sounded from the creature as bubbles began to form around it, a collection of smaller heads appeared, each with their own weird looking sea king.
Most of the creatures were smaller than the blue one that had appeared first, but still they all regarded Lorean calmly.
A strange sense of calm and serenity filled the air as a final spout of water burst out. There a single small pointy headed sea king appeared. It looked much like the swordfish from his previous life, but it was much sleeker in its build.
It looked regally at the man, a sense of arrogance in its eyes. Though the sea king was by far the smallest there was the other creatures bowed down to it.
A soft sound began to hum from its sides as its mouth spread into a simple smile.
”One horn has spoken very highly of you..” The serene voice said as the sea parted. The sword headed sea king had spoken, and as the records would later say, the pirate captain was so flabbergasted he fell into the sea.
