Chapter 15 We Sailed… But We Got Caught
“Uggghh! We've been rowing for hours!” Kalmar complained, they were surrounded by water and nothing but water, just clear blue water. “Where are we even going?” He whined.
“To the outskirts of the Dark Sea of Darkness.” Janner said, trying not to snap (he was really tired of Kalmar's complaining).
“How do we even know Sara is there, wherever there is?” Kalmar asked.
“It was on the note written by whoever took Sara..”
"How do you know the person who took Sara wrote that note?”
“Because… I just do.” Janner commented.
Leeli, however, wasn't listening to her brothers’ bickering; she was much more interested in a little white and black owl flying over them. It had been flying over them ever since they started rowing at the Sapphire Sore docks.
“Creepy!” Leeli thought as she shook her head.
“Kal, would you please just row and stop whining.” Janner snapped.
“I am not whining.” Kalmar responded.
“Yes you are!” Janner asserted.
“Guys! Stop fighting!” Leeli shouted above them.
They both looked at her with surprise. Janner stopped rowing and looked at the bottom of the boat sadly and said, “I'm sorry guys, I'm just really worried about Sara.” He admitted. Then Kal and Leeli scooched next to him and gave him a big hug.
“Thanks," he said with a half smile.
“Hey, we'll find her, we promise.” Leeli said reassuringly.
“Yeah! We haven't yet met a challenge that stopped us. We can do this!” Kalmar said energetically.
“You're right.” Janner said, feeling rejuvenated.
Suddenly there was a who-ing sound. “What was that?” Janner asked.
“What was what?” Kal asked back and the sound happened again.
“That!” At this they all heard the noise as they looked up to see a little white and black owl. It was the same owl Leeli had spotted earlier.
“Is it just me or has that thing been following us ever since the docks?” Leeli asked.
“Hey you might be onto something. I remember seeing one just like that back in the Elven Village.” Janner said.
“Come on guys, why in all of Aerwiar would an owl follow us? It just doesn't make any sense.” Kalmar stated, trying to sound older and smarter than he was.
“Says the guy who thought a toothycow could walk on water.” Janner said, sarcastically raising an eyebrow at Kalmar.
Kalmar said defensively. “I just thought it would be something cooler than water, not necessarily a Toothy Cow.”
While they were talking, two more owls showed up. They cocked their heads at each other and sort of nodded or at least an owl's version of nodding and swooped in on the kids.
Suddenly Leeli turned her head to the sky to see 3 owls flying towards them.
“Guys those owls are coming for us!” Leeli said just about to scream.
“Wait what!” Janner and Kalmar said at the same time, spinning into action. Kalmar drew Rudrick’s sword out in front of them.
“Hey that's mine, give it back!” Janner demanded.
“Not the time Janner!” Kalmar said quickly.
“Ah!” Leeli squealed as the owls swooped into their boat.
The owls landed on the deck with a swirl of dark black smokey magic that swirled furiously all around them, next thing they knew the former owls were no longer owls but humans!
The Jewels were in awe and terrified.
“Well it's official, being a Throne Warden has driven me to the brink of insanity.” Janner thought grimly with his eyes wide open.
Then the human-owl-thing that was in the middle spoke: “The queen requests Your presence at the Dark Castle of Darkness.” he said while he moved his electric blue hair out of his eyes.
“Why in The Shining Isle of Anniera do you think we would agree to that?” Janner asked
“Because she has your little girlfriend, Sara Cobbler.” The purple owl-thing who was wearing all dark purple armor and an even meaner expression. She had dark purple tinted sunglasses and her hair swept all up in front of her face into dark purple swirls. She also had the same shiny silver boots, on the left side.
Janner turned extremely red and said, “First we're just friends, second…”
“Listen to this Mortimer, this kid says they're just friends. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life!” said the purple one to the electric blue owl-thing in the middle who was apparently named Mortimer. Janner blushed even more at this.
“Hey, no one makes fun of my brother except for me…and Leeli!” Kalmar said, stepping up.
“Gee thanks” Janner said sarcastically.
“No matter who you like or who’s teasing you, you're coming with us," said the one on the right. Her hair was dark brown and it faded to a light caramel color at the tips. She wore an extremely mean expression on her face. She had more gray tinted sunglasses, a maroon red long sleeve top with shiny red armor, lighter grayish red pants with a moon sewn into the pocket, and silvery purple tall shiny boots. And she had dark magenta owl wings.
She took out a little silver shiny whistle and blew it and made a very shrill sound. A moment later a large ship sailed next to The Jewel’s boat and mounted it to that boat. Janner saw that there were a lot of these owl-like human creatures on board the ship. The one who looked like she was the captain had lighter brown hair that faded to a dark dark fuchsia color with dark fuchsia wings and a black turtleneck armor top. She wore purplish gray pants and silver tall boots that went all the way up to her knees.
Mortimer pushed Janner up the dock, Scar pushed Leeli up, and the maroon one named Shade pushed Kalmar up the mount and into a dark, black ship covered with purple vines and pink shiny glowing crystals.......
Why a cliffhanger😭😭😭😭
