Chapter 21 - Chapter 22: Sails into the sea

It was around twelve in the afternoon. They were walking in the dirt pathway in the forest, leading to the beach and to their small cabin.

Neptur continued to reason their previous actions and what may effect their reputation to the kingdom.

Neptur: "I can't believe you two, don't you have any shame?. You two have caused some many corruption ever since you two were little." He took a very deep breath bexofe exhaling them.

Neptur: "Aren't you worried what people will tell or how they will look at you?"

Elendil: "I'm sorry.." He muttered softly in his breath. Looking down into the dirt path.

Neptur: "Sorry? Is that all? After all the chaos you two had caused? You almost killed someone."

Angel scoffs, he silenced to prevent further more arguments. He was holding his basket with full of vegetables, he didn't get to finished his grocery shopping due to finding Elendil first. He continued to follow instead.

Elendil: "It was my fault" he admitted "This wouldn't had happened if my boredom didn't took over me."

Neptur: "Still, you two should learn how to control yourself. You could ask nearby people roaming around the market, it is a public place!" Sighs.

The two was silenced, accepting their own actions. Even though it was only for protection.

As they were closed to the cabin, Neptur mentioned their uncle coming over soon. They weren't surprised as Neptur already mentioned it early in the morning.

Angel: "I didn't get to buy all my needs from the market."

Neptur sighs from irritation, it was so Angel.

As they finally reached the cabin. Neptur opens the door, swinging it open.

They all went inside. Neptur opened the lights. Angel sighs and placed the basket down into the green bamboo coffee table.

Neptur: "You care more about groceries rather than thinking of your own consequences."

Angel remained silent. Elendil sighs and lays down on the bamboo couch, gloomy.

Angel's POV: "How can mortals be so... Stubborn? They misunderstood. How ignorant."

Angel sighs loudly.

Elendil noticed and questioned him.

Elendil: "You okay?"

Angel: "More than fine." Quick, yet cold. He avoided eye contact

Angel rushed towards the kitchen, grabbing a cup and pours water in it.

Angel's POV: "Sick of tired of living in this mortal world. Soon, I'll be leaving when the time finally comes and never coming back....ever"

Angel smiles and drinks the fresh water. Feeling a little better.

Soon, he'll be gone.

2:10 pm

A knock on the door can be heard.

Elendil: "I'll get it"

Elendil paused the film from the television, he opened the door to see an unfamiliar face.

???: gasps very loudly. "Haa! You must be Elendil! Wow, look at you!"

Elendil: "Eh?" His eyes widen, he was very confused of who was this creature.

Suddenly, the creature hugs Elendil very tightly. Elendil gasps for air, he was groaning from the tightness.

Neptur walked into the room.

Elendil: "Uhm? Neptur—.."

???: "Huh? Neptur! My brother!" He releases Elendil.

Elendil gasps and inhales very deeply.

Elendil: "Haa.. What the-?"

Neptur eyes widen, he smiled.

Neptur: "Brother!"

Both the creature hugged each other tightly.

Elendil: "Brother? Ohh.." Eyes widen, he finally realized what was happening.

Angel walks in the room, he heard cheer noises. Neptur laughs and introduces his brother to them.

Neptur: "This is your uncle, Cairoz"

(Pronounciation: Kay-ros).

Neptur: "He's the one visiting us today, he's also going to give us a boat ride from the ocean. A fun trip for sure."

Elendil: "The ocean? Ohh?" Mutter.

Neptur: he smiles softly "I promise it'll be fun."

Elendil smiles softly, the smile wasn't reaching his eyes. He got a small flash backs of the events happened in the ocean since he was little.

Elendil glance at Angel who was standing near the couch, silent.

Neptur: "So, since the food is finally prepared. You must be hungry after the long trip here, Brother?"

Cairoz: "Ahh yes, I'm quite hungry. I'm fine with anything that is available." Chuckles.

They all ate at the dining table, served with fresh roasted fish and some cooked vegetables from earlier shopping.

————————————

It was around 5:20 pm, it was almost evening.

They went to the docks and were preparing to go to the sea. Cairoz was untying the rope from the boat to the pole.

Elendil: "Are you sure it is okay to go by the sea when its almost dark?. Isn't a bit dangerous? W-What if creatures.."

Cairoz chuckles and turns to glance at Elendil who was frightened and was worried that something was going to happened soon.

Cairoz: "Don't worry, kid. I'll handle this" he smiles softly.

Cairoz finally unties the rope.

Cairoz: "Hop in!"

Elendil sighs and glance at Neptur who was nearby, holding a glowing lantern.

Elendil: "How about you, Neptur? Aren't you coming with us?"

Neptur: "No, I won't. I will be staying in the cabin to look out. Lots of thieves has been happening lately this past few weeks."

Elendil: "Oh... I see, then, be careful while we're out." Smiles.

Cairoz: "Elendil! Come, hop in. You won't be seeing all the fun if you wastes more time."

Elendil eyes widen and turns around to glance at Cairoz. He was on top of the small wooden boat, holding a paddle.

Angel was sitting behind the boat, quiet and was holding his small golden tool.

Elendil nods and hops in the boat, he sat next to Angel.

Elendil: "Bye, Neptur." He waves goodbye

Cairoz: "Ehehe" waving at neptur before sitting down "So who's ready for a boat trip!"

Elendil: "Me! Me!"

Elendil smiles brightly and puts his arms in the air, he was very excited but also nervous at the same time.

Angel remain silent. He glance at the tool he's holding, he sighs and grips the tool tightly before putting it on his pocket.

Cairoz: "Then let's go sailing!" He chuckles.

Cairoz starts paddling towards the water. Neptur waves while holding the lantern in his right hand.

Neptur: "Be careful out there!"

He yells while waving. Elendil nods and waves back.

Cairoz was paddling through the darkness, their only light source is the lantern hanging in the boat next to Cairoz.

The atmosphere was,

Peaceful

Calm

Quiet

The only sound was the small waves crashing in.
