chapter 7, A seafarer's tale, hunt for the sea blade! part 4

(snoring)

"Okay, what's goin' on?! Ye both just fell asleep!"

(Gaesa) "Well can you blame us? You've been going on for 3 hours now!! Can ya make this quick? I'd really like to get some sleep right about now."

"Alright I'll skip past the angry wind spirit, the quest to find a magical orb to bring that aga bat back to life, and the time flax got so paranoid that he blew up an entire pirate ship thereby gaining status as a Kairathu."

(Ironok) "Wait, you keep mentioning that word, Kairathu. What does that mean?"

"I don't know much. Only that they were strange beings who could bend certain elements to their wills. That be about it though."

Back to the story...........

(Silent) "Cove. Dead ahead."

"Aright I'll bring er' around!"

He jumped to the wheel and gave it a spin. The raft spun around at high speed until it came to rest within the cove.

(First) Captain ye almost tossed us all overboard!!!!!"

"Well fine. YE try ta parallel park this thing."

Flax turned to Silent.

"Ye know that wind spirit really should have picked a better emissary than an aga bat."

"Aye"

(Captain) "Alright, lets make landing and search the island!"

(First) "Or just go into the cave with a skull over the entrance."

There was indeed a cave onshore with a giant skull over the entrance.

"Oh.......... thanks fer pointin' that out. Makes things easier."

Everyone headed ashore and went inside the cave. They all stared with wonder at the treasure inside.

"Well First, this proof enough?"

"This could be anything. We don't know that the sea blade is in here or if it even exists."

"Then what's that weird sword over there doing on a pedestal?"

"I stand corrected."

Captain walked over and picked up the sword. It was just then that Flax noticed something.

"Captain? Ye might want to look up."

He looked up and saw writing on the wall.

"Whoever claims this ancient blade shall in turn awaken the tide eater. Well @#$%."
