The trio Sophie, (y/n) and Patrick were now inside a small bar by a city by the haven all now they were asking for clues around the bar since a lot of fishers or sea man came here.
Bartender : sorry ma'am but i never heard of whatever you mean
Sophie : really nothing ?
Bartender : sorry but no i never heard a rumor of a city in this waters
Sophie : well thanks anyway sorry for bothering you

The team was ready to head out all splitting to do their own things/stuff Zhalia, Cherit and Lok prepared the boat, Dante got the supplies and the remaining members went to a bar to look if there were rumors about the city or somebody knew where they could look.

Sadly nobody had a single idea what they were talking about they were a few rumors about sea but none came close to what they were looking for so Sophie, (y/n) and Patrick decided to leave only by accident Sophie walked into a large guy spilling his drink over his shirt.
Sophie : oh god im sorry !!
Guy : you little *#$#+$ my shirt !!

The guy grabbed Sophie by the shoulders shaking her hard but (y/n) stepped between them pushing the guy away from Sophie.
(Y/n) : hey it was accident !!!
Guy : back off before i punch your teeth out your mouth !!!
(Y/n) : you little (gets a idea) if you could, you don't look so tough
Guy : you little......
(Y/n) : i bet 100€ my friend can beat you in arm wrestling (points with his thumb to Patrick)
Patrick : huh ?
Guy : fine but when i break that loser arm im gonna beat your teeth out pretty boy

The people in the bar started chanting placing a empty table for the two to arm wrestling on.
Patrick sighed changing his normal glasses to sunglasses taking his place by the table disgusted by the guy cocky smirk.

Sophie grabbed (y/n) shoulder.
Sophie : (y/n) don't do this its not worth it
(Y/n) : don't worry Sophie that guy is gonna get a surprise..... nobody hurts my friends or Patricks

The guy prepared his right arm ready for arm wrestling letting the people in the bar start betting on him or Patrick.
Patrick just rolled his eyes grabbing the hand of the other guy with Patrick right placing his elbow on the table ready to start. (Y/n) stood on one side of the table to play judge laughing on the inside about what was about to happen.
(Y/n) : no cheating just a fair arm wrestling match.... one.. two and go !!!

The other guy roared giving this match all his streng getting no results his and Patrick arms didn't move a inch even when the guy gave it his all his veins showing on his arm Patrick on the other hand rested his head on his left hand showing no sighs of problem keeping the guy arm on his place.
Guy : impossible he must be cheating !!!

The bartender walked over looking Patrick over checking for anything that could mean he was cheating but no Patrick was playing fair it seemed.
(Y/n) : you aren't so tough as you think...... now say sorry
Guy : to who that.....
(Y/n) : Patrick ?

The guy never finished his sentence thanks to Patrick applying pressure to the guy hand almost breaking it still showing no effort in beating this guy in streng putting more pressure on the hand so hard the guy screamed his face turning red.
(Y/n) : say sorry
Guy : (pained groan) im sorry !!
(Y/n) : good.... finish him

Patrick smiled smashing the guy fist into the table hard almost breaking the guy hand and arm keeping crushing it between Patrick hand and the table.
(Y/n) : now you own us 100€
Guy : aaahhh !!! Okay here take it (throws 100€ on the table)

(Y/n) smirked grabbing the money whisteling to Patrick to follow so Patrick let go of the guy hand following Sophie and (y/n) out the door leaving the guy holding his hand in so much pain. (Y/n) closed the door behind the three still holding the money in his hand with a smug look.
Sophie : you cheated
Patrick : nah i can use my magic to increase streng or speed its not cheating but using... your inner strength.

Sophie rolled her eyes looking away feeling (y/n) hand land on her shoulder.
(Y/n) : come on he derserved it..... come i get you a smoothy on that guy money..... you know what ?! everybody gets a smoothy i just need your help in choosing the flavors Sophie.

Sophie rolled her eyes again letting it go since she liked (y/n) and how he stood up for her helping along to get the smoothies then return to the boat finding the rest of the team already waiting.
Dante : there you are ((y/n) gives him a smoothy) you got us smoothies ?
(Y/n) : of course

They got on the boat big enough for 6 people to live on for a while long enough for them to find the city.

(Y/n) gave everybody there smoothy having two left one for himself and one for Zhalia.
(Y/n) : Patrick
Patrick : yeah ?
(Y/n) : here (gives him Zhalia smoothy) gives this to Zhalia
Patrick : why ?
(Y/n) : because i saw you looking you be thankfull later when you two are married now go

Patrick shook his head walking to Zhalia standing by the front of the ship leaning over the railing, (y/n) watched how Patrick walked over to Zhalia and gave her the smoothy leaning next to her on the railing looking out on sea as the boat started up sailing off into the sea.

(Y/n) smirked standing next to Dante by the wheel watching how they sailed into the seas leaving the city behind them.

Timeskip several hours

(Y/n) sighed already bored looking in the water standing next to Patrick who sat on a chair holding a fishing rod to catch fish then put them into the cooling box next him for dinner later on. This wasn't the first time the two were on sea they were send into sea to catch a lose dangerous titan staying for a week or two were (y/n) helped Patrick to catch a fish and then prepare it to eat it so Patrick decided he could make it again this time for all seven of them.
(Y/n) : still nothing
Patrick : its a big sea
(Y/n) : yeah.... how many you still need ?
Patrick : 3 but i take 3 more so everybody can have a fish or two somebody is bound to want another one.

(Y/n) chuckled patting his friend on the shoulder as (y/n) made his leave going to the end of the boat to greet Dante, Sophie, Zhalia and Lok who returned from another scearch underwater with no luck.
(Y/n) : no luck ?
Sophie : nothing
Lok : guess we gotta try again tomorrow
Dante : i agree we better continue in the morning its starting to get too late to for us to do another search.

Everybody agreed putting their normal clothes on again sitting by back to study the holotome to look for the next location they should search making (y/n) roll his eyes staying for a half hour to listen then grew bored going back to his other friend who left his chair so he was probaly inside the ship to the small kicthen.

Inside the ship had about six bunk beds 3 om each side and to end was a small kitchen to prepare a meal and like expected Patrick stood there gathering everything he needed to cook the fishes lucky the huntik foundation got them something with shelves and stove where Patrick could prepare the fish.
(Y/n) : think you pull it off to make the fish ?
Patrick : i did it before didn't i.... again thanks for pushing me
(Y/n) : your welcome

(Y/n) lay down on his own bottom bunk looking above him as he thought also listening to Patrick cooking hearing the fish being placed in the pans being covered in herbs to make it taste even better.
(Y/n) : Pat can i ask you something ?
Patrick : of course (turns fish)
(Y/n) : well we spend a small time together with the other four but maybe we could work together more often with the other team.... become one team
Patrick : teaming up ?
(Y/n) : yeah...... what you think ?
Patrick : well i give you my well known 'i don't care' your the leader i let you choose
(Y/n) : really nothing ?
Patrick : im used to working in small groups but this group is cool..... if you think this can work i trust your decision i go along like i always do.

(Y/n) lay back down starting to smile softly thinking it over in his head maybe this could work and be fun. The time ticked farther by then (y/n) expected waking up from his trance by Patrick.
(Y/n) : what !?
Patrick : food is almost done do me a favor and place the table and warn our friends we're eating

Since the table inside was too small (y/n) grabbed a folding table together with a few plates walking out to the spot the other team sat still looking over the holotome getting shocked awake when (y/n) placed the small table down on the ground it was so small they would have to sit on their butts but atleast there was room outside for all of them.

He told them fish was coming going back to grab two huge water bottles and plastic cups returning to the table with a cup for everybody even Cherit. Everybody sat down waiting for Patrick who came out holding a huge plate holding 10 cooked fishes with sticks through them it was obvious he was doing his best to not mess it up.
He was relieved when he could set it down on the table sitting down between Lok on his right (Cherit on his shoulder) and (y/n) on left who sat next to Dante who sat next to Sophie who sat next to Zhalia who sat next to Lok.
Lok : i didn't knew you could cook
Patrick : i wanted to become a cook or baker in my past before i became seeker but its stays a fun hobby, this ain't the first time i did this me and (y/n) were before on sea we're we caught fish and he helped me to make them after that it became pretty easy to make.....what you think ?

Dante grabbed a fish by the stick bringing it to his mouth taking a huge bite out of it smiling as he chewed.
Dante : pretty good

The rest all grabbed a fist for themselfs all taking bites out of them making Patrick feel proud who ate his fish with a smile looking down at the fish to prevent making eye contact. Everybody are the fish in silence just enjoying the nice weather even thought it slowy grew colder nobody was bothered by it just enjoying the meal.
(Y/n) : so when this is over what are you four going to do ?
Dante : probaly return home to await our next mission...... what about you two
(Y/n) : probaly the same..... i do have to tell i enjoy working with you guys we should do this more often
Sophie/lok : we should !
Dante : (chuckle) that be nice its nice to see good seekers
(Y/n) : well thats setteld then 🙂

Soon all fish were devoured leaving everybody to get social again with each other expect Zhalia and Patrick who both leaned against the same small wall or whatever it was not in the mood to get in there. They spend the night laughing and talking telling more stories or tales, told things about spells or their titans showing off.

The longer the night went on the colder it got and the more people excused themselfs returning to their bunks, first it was Cherit who shared his with Lok then it was Zhalia followed by Patrick and Lok leaving Dante Sophie and (y/n) alone on the deck, Dante grew tired so he bid the last two goodnight returning to his bunk leaving the two alone in the night,
(Y/n) : ssssoooooo
Sophie : ssssoooo what ?
(Y/n) : just the two of us huh ?.. not that something is wrong with that i like spending time with you i...
sophie : (laughs) its okay i like spending time with you too.

(Y/n) smiled yelling 'yes' in his head.
(Y/n) : good....... and im sorry about the bar things i know you can handle yourself its just that guy was a $+*#+'
Sophie : i would't have used that word but yeah..... its okay im thankfull you look out for me but i still wanna thank you for protecting me even thought i didn't need it....still i wanna thank you by maybe i can take you somewhere nice my threath
(Y/n) : thats nice Sophie but....
Sophie : (y/n) its okay im rich i don't mind i just.... wanna spend time with you

(Y/n) and Sophie blushed looking a bit ahsamed away all soon they smiled kindly back at each other.
(Y/n) : i like that

Sophie smiled taking a few seconds before she yawned tired knowing she needed to go to bed she bid (y/n) goodnight pecking his forehead, she walked to her bunk leaving (y/n) who smiled happely then decided to call it a night knowing tomorrow would be a long day.

Somewhere in the night

Zhalia groaned irritated rolling on her other side irritated she could't sleep cursed how everybody around did have a good night sleep well she was moving all in her bunk trying to do the same. Her ears perked up when she heard somebody move in his/her bunk stepping on the floor sighing tired making her know it was a male, the person stood out his bunk walking outside for fresh air.

Zhalia opended her eyes scanning the room finding Patrick bunk was empty meaning he was the one who was still awake and currently outside leaning over the railing letting the cool breeze cool him off. Zhalia stood up from her own bunk knowing she would't sleep anyway she walked outside in her sleeveless t-shirt and shorts looking for Patrick.

The guy was by the edge leaning on the railing looking tired yet he was still awake wearing a grey sleeveless shirt and white shorts.
Zhalia : can't sleep ?

He jumped from the sudden voice behind him but calmed when he figured out it was Zhalia letting the woman stand next to him doing the same thing as him.
Patrick : always been a troubled sleeper even before i would nap on 15.00.... even as kid i spend a hour in my own bed laying restless before somewhere i just had a blackout.... why are you awake ?
Zhalia : can't sleep don't know why

The two stood there in silence letting the breeze of the night wash over them making them sleepy yet the two stayed where they were not wanting to move for some reason. Unknown to them their arms were touching from the moves they made without thinking about it just standing there together.
Patrick : nice night
Zhalia : yeah
Patrick :............ anything you wanna say ?
Zhalia : like what ?
Patrick : i don't know something to kill time until we're finally sleepy
Zhalia : sorry i have nothing
Patrick : really no back story or amazing adventure
Zhalia : nothing you wanna hear
Patrick : why is that ?
Zhalia : because it ain't pretty
Patrick :...... i guess its painfull story so i spare you the trouble of explaining it but if you wanna talk about it i listen
Zhalia :......... thanks

A big wave shook the boat a little causing Zhalia to fall against Patrick side feeling that even through it was cold outside he was queit warm like a electric pillow. Zhalia stepped away from him acting like nothing happend.
Patrick :......... well i better try again to sleep nice talk
Zhalia : yeah
Patrick : goodnight Zhalia sleep tight

Patrick left so Zhalia stood there alone leaning over the railing gaining a small smile then returned to her bunk sleeping a lot better after that small moment.

In the next morning the first sunrays went through a small window in the bunk room landing on (y/n) who groaned turning his back to it. Nobody was in the mood to get up allowing the waves to rock them back to sleep hearing a few sea Eagles outside together with a small crack on the deck.
Dante :.... (sleepy groan) what was that ?
(Y/n) : who cares ?
Sophie : (yawn) we probaly should check it out.....
Lok : not me
(Y/n) : nope
Patrick : (groan) okay i go

The guy jumped down from his top bunk on the floor walking outside to check out what cracked throwing his leater jacket over him just because he liked it.
The people in the bunks went back to sleep listening to the sounds of the sea.

Sea eagle screeching
Waves
A scream
Splash !!!

Everybody woke up looking out the door after hearing Patrick scream and hearing a splash, Dante was outside in a flash looking frantically around seeing no sight of Patrick anywhere on the ship.

Dante had a idea that if Patrick was not on the ship he must be in the water so Dante grabbed his water goggles then jumped right on the water in his sleeping clothes.

He looked around seeing Patrick nowhere all he did see a sea snake a big one swim away surrounded by figures with fish tails.

He went above surface climbing back on the boat to report what he saw.
Dante : i can't find Patrick anywhere but something was swimming away maybe they got him.
Sophie : then we have to go after them !!
Dante : argee

Everybody quickly changed out their sleeping clothes in their swimming suits with underwater breathers and underwater goggles, (y/n) first quickly grabbed Patrick clothes throwing them in a plastic bag together with his glasses then tied the plastic bag air tied,

Everybody got in the water swimming the way Dante saw the strange things swim off to somewhere with probaly their friend. It was a long swim of 10 minutes trying to find the things all with no luck the team found themselfs swimming through empty waters close by the bottom.
Dante : how far are they going ?
(Y/n) : no idea but i... OW

(Y/n) held his head after he bumped into something hard doing it while there was nothing infront of him he could have hit.
Lok : what happend ?
(Y/n) : i hit something !!
Sophie : but there is nothing
Zhalia : nothing for the blind eye... ogarforst !!

Zhalia fired at something infront of the group actually hitting something that uncloaned for a while showing a underwater city inside a glass orb to keep it dry.

The city was pretty big with towere on the edge next to the glass, one big temple stood out looking like a huge sea dragon was wrapped around it.
Lok : seems like we found it

The darklord sits in a chair tied up with duck tape covering his mouth.
??? : we have your writer so vote or we kill him slowy.
