Standing up and carefully examining the area around him, he saw a vague trail of slime in the moonlight, confused, he followed it with his eyes noticing how the slime climbed up the cabin wall behind him, and slid over, until it was behind his chair, confused he turned to sit back down. A scream echoed out from the rear of the ship, distinctly Bentley, sounding. Several pirates ran as quickly as possible to his aid, swords drawn, bursting through the door of the cabin, which lead to the small space at the stern of the ship, they were instantly sent into confusion, there stood Bentley, unharmed as far as they could tell, but there was a spatter of blood on his clothes, on the white table cloth, and on, possibly in his wine glass.

“Captain! What happened!?” one asked, Bentley used his cutlass to stab something behind his table, before showing it to the crew, it was a karamthulhu tentacle. Their expressions spoke for them, and Bentley began to speak.

“It lunged out at me, it apparently crawled up the side of the ship, behind me, and somehow managed to get on my table when I looked away, I managed to pull my sword and lop off one its tentacles, it dived back into the sea as afterwards.” The crewmates looked baffled as to what this meant as a whole, Bentley ordered them to position twenty extra sentries to watch over the ship. As the night rolled on, sure enough the crew reported the karamthulhus trying to crawl onto the ship, and several did indeed lunge out at the guards, one man was injured to the point of requiring serious medical attention, his

neck had been slashed, though how no one was certain how, as the karamthulhu was still crawling up the side of the ship when the injury was inflicted. Battling through the night, the attacks slowed greatly by dawn the next day. Ko woke to see the medical station filled with injured men, and was instantly curious, he felt sore, but was sure he could walk. He stood up out of bed and stretched, it sure was cold, he thought to himself while yawning. His face turned red as he wrapped himself with his blanket, apparently they had to remove his clothes during the surgery. When some of the medical personnel approached asking him if he was alright, he requested some clothing, they escorted him to a different room and fit him into a pair of nice leather shoes, with comfortably fitting black and white pants and shirt.

Due to the swelled number of men in the med center, they allowed Ko to explore the ship freely, but they informed him to check in if his wounds started acting up. There wasn’t much they could do, in reality it was just going to take a little time for him to feel in good shape again. The healing products and pain killers they had given him the night before helped a lot, and he was able to walk freely without any pain, he felt like he could run and lift, but did*’t want to push it, after all, he was sort of in a vacation for the time being. It wasn’t long before he found himself on the top deck, he was a little curious as to why he saw pirate toss objects and swing swords off the railing, but figured he wouldn’t bother asking.

He noticed two big guys, same ones from the med center listening to his story, he wondered if they’d be an interesting conversation, and approached. “Hello.” He began “I never did get a chance to say thank you.” Aiden and Caden peeked over their shoulders, feeling a smug sense of accomplishment.

“Yeah buddy.” Caden said .

“Anytime, we don’t usually like watching people drown.” Aiden said with a giggle, his brother laughed a little harder.

“Unless we’re the ones holding them under!” the two burst into laughter, and Ko wasn’t so sure he wanted to continue speaking with him. He nervously laughed before walking away quietly, he soon noticed the smaller man, and the well tanned girl towards the bow of the ship, the small man was doing pushups as the girl carried a conversation.

“And then I was able to teleport them out, it was neat.” Azura said, finishing a story she was telling Forrest.
“See, girl that’s good use of magic. It’s always a good laugh to watch dem idiots try an* use runestones, I betcha’ most other people in yer situation woulda done got themselves killed off, ya know?” he replied, Ko was impressed by the man’s physical strength, he did*’t seem short of breath in the slightest, but he wasn’t sure how long he had been keeping this up.

“Hello.” He said approaching them.

“Hey fella, good to see yer feelin’ alright. How them wounds treating ya?” Forrest asked without skipping a beat.
“Hiya!” Azura’s voice sounded cute to Ko “Glad you’re feeling well, I think you gave everyone a scare.” He giggled.

“I was fairly scared myself, but at least I’m alive, things could’ve ended a lot worse.”

“Well buddy that’s the truth, things are alright if you’re still breathing.” Forrest chipped in. “Annd that’s 100.” Forrest said, standing up and flexing his muscles, to observe them more closely. Ko figured he could crush a man’s skull with a good punch if he wanted to.

“Show off!” Azura said with a laugh, poking Forrest with her staff. He grabbed the staff and yanked her towards him, causing her to lose her balance and trip into the deck of the ship.

A pair of hands found their way to Ko’s shoulders, “Is good to see you walking.” Anastasia’s unique voice filled his ears. Lowe walked over to the railing next to Forrest and tossed a knife towards something.

“Yes!” he said making a fist.

“Nice shot.” Forrest said with a chuckle. Ko leaned over the railings in time to see a karamthulhu splash into the waters below, with a knife sticking in its eye.

“What was it doing?” Ko questioned, as Lowe explained how they were crawling up the side of the ship for some reason, and somehow inflicting more wounds. Ko nodded as he saw another slowly climbing up.

“Mind if I try?” he asked, Lowe removed one of his throwing knives from a holster on his thigh, and handed it to Ko.

“Me and my friends used to toss homemade knives at targets we set up, we weren’t allowed to own real knives, so we chiseled rocks into the correct shape.” He tossed the knife into the air, letting it rotate a few times and catching it by the handle, he then tossed it was great force, landing a near perfect hit, the karamthulhu squealed and dropped into the sea.

*Nice one, did a lot of practicing I see?” Lowe asked.

“The knives we made were the only thing we had for protection, we tried to keep our skills toned with them.” He smiled “And you never know when you’ll have to throw your knife while doing a back flip to stop the bad guy.” A series of chuckles emerged from the group, and for the first time in a long while, Ko felt like he could let his guard down, and just relax. He rubbed his chin and noticed he needed to shave, and could probably use a bath, too.

“I think I’ll attend to grooming myself.” He said with a laugh, strolling away.

“So are we really taking that weird dude back to Misthalin with us?” Caden asked, chucking another bottle at a karamthulhu.

“Yep.” Forrest informed him. “By the way, Aiden, I’m getting’ bored, so..” Forrest leapt like a larupia towards Aiden, shoving him into the deck, the two wrestled fiercely.

“I don’t know, something about that Ko dude seems off.” Caden shared his concerns with the group.

“He seems fine to me, a little tense, but that is justifiable.” Anastasia explained.

“Yeah, I agree with Ana.” Azura said leaning on her staff. Lowe wasn’t sure about him either.

“He doesn’t seem like a threat really, but maybe the kind of person who will pick pocket you, but hell who are we to judge, we barely know him.”

Forrest gave Aiden a ‘gentle’ kick to the ribs and joined into the conversation “He seems fine to me.” Aiden grabbed his ‘foe’ by the shoulder and tossed him into the ground.

“I don’t like him either, but I’ll give him a chance… maybe.” Aiden leapt on top of Forrest, who used both legs to kick him back, before the two began to box one another. The day continued on, they saw Ko again for a large dinner, as celebration for the passing of the storm, and that they had almost reached the Lunar Islands. Ko looked handsome, he had trimmed his face and had a haircut, cleaned himself up and was dressed in a nice collared shirt, with a belt and clean and good looking pants, with the same leather shoes, but he was seated close to Bentley, as apparently the old Captain was not done talking with him, and none of the group was sitting even remotely close to them, making it impossible to listen in.

The night ended boringly, not for the crew however, who had to keep the karamthulhus back as they came in great numbers once more.
