Chapter 5 : Nettle Isle
'It's been three days , Lord Den is still inside his cabin!?", Figer complains drooling over in the deck as Kite listens patiently as both of them stares at the never ending sea glowing with an orange morning sunlight in the east.
"I'm sure my lord is also feeling sick , since he doesn't go out much , he would've caught sea sickness by the night we started," Kite adds to satisfy the major complaints.
Both the soldiers of Elites and Den's , casually do things about as some do the chores , while some fishing and some of them stands halt keeping an eye and some waste their time about , drinking lightly and exchanging tales of their good deeds.
"I wonder how Nettle Isle would be ! I'm honoured to be in the presence of the gathering of the lords!", Kite adds smiling as she stares up the sky which is noticed by Figer as he adds ,"you don't roam much do you?, well , Nettle Isle is a sight to behold. Huge monuments honouring the former lords are sculptured under the giant columns of the Nettle gardens. !",
Figer pauses smiling as Kite hears it with beaming eyes of wonder as he adds again ," Above the garden lies the Hall of the lords , where great meetings are held once or twice annually . And has a beautiful resort , for rich families to spend their holidays on."
"Wow !!!", Kite murmurs as Figer continues ," and in the South East of the isle lay a huge reinforcing fort of the Elites , that is a resting spot for the Elites traveling South and huge stocks of resources are kept to provide resources to the Elites Stronghold in the Hollows cape in the Land of Sorrow , which stands strong , protecting us from the fierce Devours in the far South."
"That's so cool and awesome!!!", Kite murmurs admiring what she heard as she stares at Figer with her beautiful eyes as Figer is astound by it.
"I'll take you anywhere you like , once i become Lieutenant of Rosendale and if Lord Den allows !", Figer proud himself near Kite as she asks curiously," Are you gonna become the Lieutenant!?".
"Not yet!! But i will be once Lieutenant Baku is promoted which can take a long time.... or", Figer smiles taking a glance at Kite continuing ," Lord Den can help me become Lieutenant. As one of the richest lords , he surely can help me! To Elites , lords are a safeguards and executives of the Elites, helping us when in need with resources and power ! Without the lords , the balance of Abodia would be uneven as most commoners looks up to their lords ".
Figer informs the importance of the Lords and greedily thinks that Kite can get Den the message that it would be better for both interests if Figer become Lieutenant .
Kite smiles as she exclaims ," i surely would like to travel with you ,Major!".
Figer smiles as he tries to be modest , exclaiming ," well , my powers are
tied under the Lieutenants but i do enjoy my job!".
The raven in the top mast of the ship sits quietly staring at the boat with its curious black eyes as it caws softly to itself.
"Would you happen to know... ", Figer asks pausing seriously and continuing ," how Lord Den became the heir to the Coopers as they had no child!?". Kite , astound by the unexpected question smiles replying ," i do know that anyone cannot become a lord at their own will , and i know that my lord has an absolute reason for becoming a lord !".
Figer stares at her with quite serious eyes as Kite excuses herself walking down the deck .
"Kite!", Figer shouts softly as Kite turns back on her way to Dens cabin.
"Do inform the lord that we will be arriving Nettle Isle this past afternoon.!" Kite smiles back nodding as she continues her walking .
"I'm coming in my lord !", Kite requests as she opens the cabin door and enters the dim room. Closing the door behind her she looks around the dark room with a huge bed in the side and a huge table on the other side where Den was seen sitting and staring out the window in the sea.
As sounds of waves and creaking of sound is heard in the dim cabin , as sunlight slowly fades in , Kite comes towards the huge table and notices his uneaten breakfast of bacon and eggs.
"Isn't it ironic... ", Den murmurs staring into the vast blue sea as Kite not getting what he meant asks ,"i beg your pardon my lord!?".
Den smiling and turning back and replies ," I'm sorry but i find the Major quite funny! Not exactly how an Elites should be , isn't he !?", moving towards Kite.
"I hope so , my lord !", Kite replies awkwardly guessing that he had heard their conversation , expecting no less from her creator , she glances at Den as he comes forward and grabs his plate.
Kite moves towards the window and opens one side of it as the raven flies inside the cabin and into the table as Den looking at Kite and replies ," you knew!? ".
As Den feeds the raven a piece of bacon , Kite replies ," yes my lord ! I had guessed !". Den smirks as he gulps down his breakfast.
"You will become stronger as you go on ! But you are human at the same time , do not forget that. You won't be able to handle different Aest at the same time!", Den murmurs as Kite nods her head.
"Do be wary of the Major , a hybrid Elemental type he is . Time will tell which he exactly is... till then , i will try by best to gain his favour and support. One does not simply become an executive in an Elite with a common Aest!", Den warns softly finishing his breakfast , coming up close to Kite as she bows her head out of nervous.
"Look at me!, " Den whispers as he gently holds her chin and makes her face him. Feeling his breath and the mild warmth of his face , Kites senses fades away as she stares into the dark blue eyes of her creator. With his arms on her back , she is unable to move back as she holds both of her hands.
As her heart beats faster , she could never feel her adrenalin rush faster , yet so calm and weak at the same time , his pale whitish pink coloured lips , moves forward towards her , pale reddish coloured , in the heap of the moment , Kite pushes him away with both of her arms , as a tremendous force pushes Den as he hits his back on the table and back flips on top of it , falling into the other end as the table slides as the cabin feels a mild quack.
"My lord!", Kite focuses her eyes as she , frightened and scared , rushes towards Den , approaching him , she finds him laughing softly as she bows her head and apologises as Den gets up , cleaning his back.
"I never meant to injure you in any way my lord! Please forgive me , you may punish me as you deem fit! My lord !!, Kite shouts closing her eyes and still bowing her head as Den smiling comes up to her and lifts her head up replying ," that was my fault! I do apologise on behalf of my actions!".
As Kite feels guilty and out of words , Den continues sitting on the chair as the sun fills the room ," next time i have to be careful while approaching you , taking the risk of having a broken bone or two!", Den murmurs as the raven caws in the room after its breakfast.
They reach Nettle Isle that evening , with reports that some lords have already arrived . The Isle was as beautiful as Figer had described but were more mesmerising in the eyes of the viewers that moment as the city were more designed with coloured torches and lights , and sounds of music fills the air and people dancing and cheering in the coast of the isle , due to the gathering of lords.
Den and his assistants were escorted to the beautiful resort by the Elites and were left to rest for tomorrow as Figer and his Elites were escorted to the Elites fort in the South.
