Epilogue: Fools at Sea

Like they say when in Urendyr do as the Urendians do. However Lim and Estra might have taken it a bit too far. 

[Day at Sea: 34]

[On course to Olgur ]

The large ship sailed by its lonesome under the cover of night, with lanterns that lit up the looming darkness. The cold winds blew against the sails as it propelled forward through the calm seas. The vast empty ocean dwarfed the large ship into being nothing but a toy in a wider pond. 

Lim and Estra had been staying in their cabin sitting on the ground with rum in their hands.

*Hiccup*

“Liiimmmu… It's my turn”

“Nooo… It's mine!”

“I won la…last game.”

*Hiccup*

“I think….”

"I just got these cards! I saw you look at them before! That's no Fair!"

Lim and Estra were completely drunk out of their minds. They attempted to play their usual card game but any serious attempt continuously failed.

“Nwoo!!!”

“Ahahahah!”

Estra burst out into laughter throwing the cards into disarray causing Lim to pout in anger.

*Hiccup*

“You keep doing dis!!! Evrytime….”

Lim leapt forward onto Estra lap trying to look at her cards. He planted his face close to hers doing his best to distract.

“Pay attention to me Estra!”

“Your chea…ting Lim! It's my cards!”

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! ….”

Lim continuously kissed Estra on her cheeks with each instance of the words: “Shut up”.

Estra, frustrated with Lim, pushed him down to the ground. Her fangs were out in full display.

“I’ll eat you! If you're not careful!”

*Hiccup*

“Do your worst I’ve faced… better… or worse.”

Estra went down and lightly bit his neck pretending to be a vampire and after that they both fell asleep on top of each other. Even when drunk they lived to the name of fools.

“Ow my head, what the hell have we been doing last night?”

Estra walked on deck to see Lim perched on the side of the ship.

“You’re awake?”

“Talk any louder and I'll be truly awake. What do they even put in that rum?”

“Love and care! Ahahaha.”

“Love and care my ass!”

"God that thing is strong. What did Rye say again? It has a hint of berry and.. bullshit its pure fuel!"

"Estra, its kind of your fault."

"Says, you. Your just as bad last night... or good depending on interpretations."

Lim silently blushed to her words.

***

Estra and Lim looked on towards the endless sea and the clear blue horizon that never seemed to end. They had been on sea for several days now but it never seemed to feel any different. The feeling of freedom that they felt when leaving port was still here, fresh as the day they left.

Estra felt that maybe a life at sea was for her, but then the usual feeling dawned on her. Sea sickness or in the correct term sea hangover.

“Urrghhh!”

Estra hurled her last night’s dinner overboard and into the waters below.

“Shit! I don’t think I can get used to this! How the hell do you all do this?”

Captain Rye walked by with a bottle of rum in hand.

“Stay here long enough and you’ll get used to it. The fresh air and all the fish that you can eat. Isn’t it a paradise–”

“Urrghhh! A bit maybe! Urrghhh!”

“Yeah, maybe not to some. But don’t worry we still have several more days ahead of us. Plenty of time to get used to the sea.”

Lim tapped Estra’s back consoling her as she continued to vomit her guts out.

“There, get it out!”

The seas may be rough but they have been through far worse. The only problem that Estra and Lim now faced was the urge not to drink to numb the sheer boredom of the high seas. Rum is the cost of travelling the realm of Neptune and Estra being herself she can’t stop.

*BAM*

“LIM!”

Estra stormed into their cabin with a bottle of rum in her hand.

“Look what I got!”

“Estra we shouldn’t–”

But they did anyways. Estra and Lim were back to their old habits with drinks in their hands rolling on the ground with cards in their hands.

*Hiccup*

“Liiimmmu… My love It's my turn!”

“Nooo… It's mine!”

“I won la…last game.”

Lim jumped up pining Estra down on the ground as he littered her with endless amounts of kisses.

The cost of freedom is rum but maybe to Estra there are some rewards in her mischief. 

Their journey continued as the demon island of Olgur awaited them. What new adventures will they face? 

They were not bound by the bloody pens of fate and now this tale was of their own doing. 

Free to live life as fools.
