Aboard the Rum Cask

[wingfeather]

Eldor fairly threw up and frantically tried climbing higher, and as far away from that acorn minded beaver as possible.

[Chloriosus]

Luckily for him, Emmalinda could not climb rigging ropes, but she went on with her speech about how beautiful she was, while Kastron leaned against the railing, rolling his eyes. Emmalinda's pompous and boastful speech was interrupted by Aunt Pessilys. "Emmalindyyy! Get b'low deck this instant and change yer clothes! We're about to go on land, and after last times incident, I won't leave ye on the ship.", she said, eyeing Kastron .

[wingfeather]

Swiftly Eldor slid down the rope again, ''what was last incident?'' he asked Kastron.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron coughed. "Last time, me and her got into a fight. According to everyone it was my fault, but 'twas Emmalinda that smashed some o' Aunt's dishes. The boat also caught on fire.",he added as an afterthought.

[wingfeather]

Eldor's eyebrow's rose but he did not push the subject. Instead he said, ''so are you actually afraid to go on land?''

[Chloriosus]

"No, of course not.",said Kastron quickly, eyeing the harbor they were nearing warily. "What ever dimwit would be afraid to go on land?"

[wingfeather]

Eldor looked at him unimpressed, ''the same one who would slam head first into the main mast.''

[Chloriosus]

Kastron swung at him in mock attack. "Hey!"

[wingfeather]

Eldor quickly ducked and tackled him.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron tried staying of the floor and swung around, hanging on to Eldor's neck, trying to throw him onto the floor.

[wingfeather]

Expertly Eldor twisted the smaller boy around and held him down with a firm grip, grabbing a nearby bucket he promptly pulled it over Kastron's head.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron twisted under the larger boys' grip, and struggled getting the bucket off his head. He finally got his head out and threw it out of Eldor's reach. The two boys continued roughousing, when they both felt a hard grip on their necks. It was captain Edgewood, drunk as ever, who came from behind and dragged them both to the railing of the ship. "I hope ye two slimy pieces of worm ridden filth have a fine, or rather, NOT so fine swim, ye two infernaly USELESS PILES 'O USELESSNES!!!" And with that, he chucked both boys off the ship into the water.

[wingfeather]

Eldor crashed into the freezing cold water, he resurfaced gasping. Once he found where Kastron was he immediately resumed his wrestling match.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron was quite agile in water, and held Eldor's head under the surface. They both continued their assassin attempts on each other when one of the boys spied a rather large jellyfish coming towards them at alarming pace. It was everyman for himself as the two raced to get to shore. Kastron had been stung by one before, but it had been a different one as this one was quite a bit lardge and dangerous looking. That being said he didnt stick around too long to look at it, but gave out a shout and swam for shore, as much as he resented it.

[wingfeather]

When Eldor heard Kastron's shout, and saw the rather intimidating jellyfish coming toward them, he immediately began swimming to shore as fast as he could. Unfortunately for him, when he was not to far from the shore he felt a hot searing pain on his left arm, to him it felt like a hot cast iron skillet was brushed against him. Eldor yelled out and quickly rushed the last couple of strokes to the beach.
