Chapter 99 - Unwanted Prayers (1/2)

Theoric watches until the body sinks out of sight before heading up with the ship in tow.

After putting the ship back above the surface, he flew on board to check and see if everyone was alright, healing those that took some unintended damage due to the rapid movements.

Finishing, he said one last thing before freeing everyone- ”I'm tired now and would like to rest, I would appreciate it if none of you disturb me.”

Walking past the girls he headed below deck only pausing when Io commented- ”You killed it.” which caused an awkward atmosphere before he continued on down, not responding.

Sigyn frowned, glaring at Io- ”Io how could you say that.”

Io- ”Oh god, I didn't mean it like that, I was trying to be sympathetic, I know how much he likes unique creatures.”

Anna- ”Well you did a piss poor job at it.”

Sigyn feeling a little dissatisfied with Io started to head after Thoeirc- ”I'll go check on Theo,”

Io called out- ”Sigyn, I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry.”

Anna- ”Don't worry, neither of them will hold it against you, but you need to start learning to care for them the way they care for us, they've done sp much for us and have been very kind, and, and... I love them, I hope you can come around or at least not be so grouchy all the time.”

Io sighed, softly replying- ”I know, I am trying.”

Anna grinned- ”As long as you do, I think it's fine... (Looking back at the rest of the deck to see how the crew was getting along)... What's all this now?” she asked just noticing their unusual behavior.

Io- ”Great, how do we deal with this mess now?”

Sometime later Caius woke up after being one of the ones to fall unconscious, unable to handle the experience.

He stood back up, leaning against the wheel for support, almost toppling over again when it moved under his weight. Shaking his head he went over to look down at the deck to see what his crew was up to only to find all of them bowed down to the ladies.

Confused, he made his way down the stairs while rubbing his head, trying to stave off an oncoming headache due to the vivid nightmare he experienced.

Caius- ”Ladies, mind explaining what I've missed and why they are doing that?”

Io- ”Good your here, you can take care of this, they all decided to start praying to us like we're some kind of gods.”

Anna smirked, she was half a god, maybe they should pray to her, she playfully thought.

Io seeing the smirk rolled her eyes at her.

”I'm sorry but what is going on?” Caius asked.

One of the crew members hearing the captain's voice looked up to answer- ”We are showing our grateful respects to the Gods.”

Caius - ”What?”

”How dare you forget how they rescued us from the grasp of death and fought off the monster that would have killed us all.”
