The captain and his crew

by The fire elemental Verfys

Dear diary,
We have left Ionolia a few days ago. We need to hurry to finish this mission before the end of the world. I took a few souvenirs from Talion's house. He wasn't happy about it but I didn't think it would matter so much for him. The trip is very fun! Everyone is great! They promised me that we will stay together no matter what, so I was very happy about it. They are my new friends. I will not lose them too.
 
We went to Alomir because Damaschini said we could take his ship from there. On the way we didn't have any problems. Well, at least me and Nixie didn't. Talion seems to lose his girlfriend but he doesn't seem to care. I would like to help but it's not my girlfriend. I would treat her better. Like Bart does. But he is not serious about her either since he doesn't know if he likes her or not. I like Eve so I hopes she will find a nice family.
 
Alomir is a nice place. It seems small and very happy. When we got there, we went to the port to search for the ship and its crew. It wasn't hard to find it because it is beautiful but the crew wasn't there. We found the captain and his men in a bar close to the ship. I did not like that Talion got my letter and showed it to a stranger but i will not get mad at that.
 
We had a fun night in Alomir. Bart got very very drunk but he was still playing nice songs. Eve spent a lot of time with Talion. The rest of us just drank and danced around with the crew's captain, Xebec. We had a lot of fun. I really like parties, but these guys make it even better. Heron danced better this time. I hit a few chairs but it happens. After the party, Nixie and me spent some time with Eve. She is a really sweet girl but she is a bit sad.
 
I do think something is weird. Talion was in Alomir but he didn't even say hi to Mazog. What really happened between them? I mean Talion said everyone abandoned him. And then Damaschini also said the others abandoned him. So from what i understand none of them wanted to abandon each other but they did? And they said they are not mad with each other, then why is Talion not saying hi to Mazog?
 
I think Xebec is a very interesting person. First, he trusted us when we said about Damaschini. And he didn't ask where we go until we were already far away, on the boat. When we told him where we want to go, he liked it. I think? I mean I did not expect that reaction. But he got a bit fascinated about what i am? He wanted to touch me. Not in a weird way. A bit weird but as he said "pirates don't have manners". I don't mind it,I am not really a lady. He also gave me meat and we talked for a while during our trip. He said that if the apocalypse is meant to come, then what can we do. I wonder if he has something to fight for or he just doesn't have anything else better to do. He also seems to like adventure a lot. I think we are going to get along well. Hopefully. My instincts told me he is a nice person.
 
On this trip, I tried to talk in front of more people. It was not that bad but not that good. Nixie and Talion didn't help at all but they tried their best. We convinced the crew to join us with a bit of help from our smart Eve. That day was a bad day. The next one,too. The crew is very fun. They are not stronger than me but they are fun. We talked a lot and we were getting along very well.
 
In that night, Talion's demon visited him. Talion acted pretty weird the whole day but now he was almost scary. He stood there and just said words like "come back" and "don't go by the water" and things like that. He scared me a little because there was also a shadow there. We only heard the demon saying "Talion". He sounded amused. I do not like demons. Anyways Talion did some bum bum with him. But he hit the Silfida Neagra, which came to visit us. He sent her all the bad things he had inside. Not a nice way to say "hi" to people. Apparently, before this happened, Talion made some king of bond with Silfida Neagra and she was there with him to fight the demon.
 
We quickly tried to help her. She was not breathing or moving or anything. But she was not dead yet. Dear diary, don't ask me how because I don't know. I was confused as well. But together with the others, we made some kind of help for the Silfida so she sees she doesn't fight alone. Thanks to Xebec we got to the Monument of Life very fast. He is a very good pirate. We carried the Silfida near the Monument and Eve asked for help. The Black Silfida was very light but when we started to climb near the Monument, she bacame very heavy like a rock. Something was not right so we tried to do something.
 
They explained me about the Almightiism. So what I understood is that in order to help them and the Silfida, I need to wish to let myself go and let the Almighty's power inside me, trusting that it will not destroy me or something. Bart and Eve are training me to understand even more.
 
I was still confused but it worked. The Black Silfida was alive? I Think again? She was alive but she can't talk, or move suddlenly because she will break for real. I mean really break. But at least she has a hand to write if she needs something. She is very weak so I will try to protect her and make her our friend as well.
 
Because we were so weak and Talion did bum bum in Silfida not in the demon we all decided to train and learn how to fight demons. I hope we will be fine.
 
The day after this was worse. We finally left again on sea and went for a day or so. When in front of us and on the shore, an army of dead skeletons appeared. I know why people don't like them now. Their necromancer boss was "Seraf" and she was mean. Talion did a bum bum again and this time it was right. Me and Herron were holding the big stick that catches the wind. And Nixie did a lot of wind that helped us, using the advice of Bart. We left them behind so we were safe. But with no wind, we could not move from the middle of the sea.
 
I volunteered to stay awake so the others can sleep. So that in case the monster ate us, they would die dreaming with no pain. I was scared a bit but Xebec stayed with me and gave me meat. That calmed me a lot. And we had a nice talk. The next day, we went back to The Monument of life's port. The boat was pretty damaged so Xebec, Eve and Silfida Neagra had to sell important things for them to get the money. If I ever have some money, I will try to buy them back if I find them. They did a lot for us. I should thank them with some meat.
 
I really want to stop the apocalypse faster. The people I met are nice. I do not want them to die.
 
May the Almighty be with us ( That's what Nixie says so I will use it).
