Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

Hmmm!! I think the name of the crewman I just called now, was Logen -one of the guys I ate with the other day.

And judging by his serious and attentive expression, it seems that my plan to bond with them wasn't for nought.

"YOU ALL, KEEP THE SHIP IN ORDER BEFORE GOING TO REST. WE WILL START MOVING TOMORROW MORNING SO GET SOME REST AND BE SURE TO BE ON HIGH ALERT WHILE YOU ARE AT IT" I screamed to the top of my lungs and made sure my voice travelled around the corners of the ship before closing my mouth.

Looking at Mad John, I greeted his nod with a nod of my own before going back to my first room to try out my experiment.

And so, in less than two minutes, I arrived in front of my room, opened it, walked in and closed it back before using the locks and making sure it was working by locking the room shut.

Directing Toothless to my position, I took off the chairs that used to be a part of my dining table and sat down.

I was going to try using the 'Temporary storage space' on Toothless to see if it would work. Of course, I did not doubt that it would work, but the problem was whether the process was going to be easy or not.

A few minutes later, the water below me rose and the figure that came out of it was Toothless.

Huh!! You are feeling cold.

Walking forward, I knelt on the edge of my broken room and stretched my hands forward to comfort her.

The fact that she was beginning to feel cold meant that she could already feel the effects of the 'Moonlight's ice'. This also means that I can't leave her here even if she is strong enough to defend herself.

Opening the 'Temporary storage space', I used the same method to bring her in there the same way I did for Bones.

After a few seconds, a small vortex compressing the air and space around it opened up near me. And then, it got bigger.

The vortex got bigger and bigger until even its size was enough to dwarf me just by standing close to it. Though, this shouldn't have been a problem until I felt my magical energy being drained.

Go figure!! It seems that transporting a beast as giant as Toothless won't be easy.

"Haa.." "Haa.…."

I wiped the beads of sweat off my head and fell back on the chair behind me.

At least, I now know that I won't be taking out and bringing Toothless into the Temporary storage space with a sway of my hands, the same way I did for Bones.

Summoning the 'Fantastic Beast of Records', I stared at it and wondered what else I was limited to do that wasn't written in its pages.

I have already tried moving an inanimate object into it, but the instant it went through the vortex, I couldn't bring it back. I could bring Bones in an out of it because of the connection we shared that allowed me to sense him, but for the inanimate object, let's just say that I lost a few things that would take me some time before I got them back.

Nonetheless, if it were that important, there should have been a rule of caution or warning of some sort. But since there wasn't, then it wouldn't hurt to try one more time.

This time, however, I gathered all my magical energy and raised it higher to the extreme. But the only way I how to do that was by using one of my techniques.

And so, 'Bang'.

My skin turned bright with a hint of blue as droplets of water fell from my body and clothes.

The same thing happened to Toothless too, as her body was covered with a bright soft bluish glow encircling her like a second skin.

Opening up the vortex again, I pushed my magical energy to the limit and watched as the light encircling the both of us glowed brighter, while the vortex got bigger.

I could feel my magical energy draining at an unbelievable speed, but at the same time, I could see Toothless getting sucked into the vortex. Well, at least, it wasn't impossible.

"Bamm!" The vortex snapped shut.

"Haa… Ha….." Wiping the sweats off my head, I couldn't help but smile seeing that Toothless was nowhere to be seen.

Using the connection we shared, I sent my thoughts to her and got feedback almost immediately.

She is safe and sound. And also swimming comfortably in a stream or kind of lake.

Hah!! I really want to see what the inside of the 'Temporary space storage' looked like.

"Humph!! Why don't I try and see what happens next?" I said to myself knowing the reason I haven't tested some things was because of my inability in competently using my magical energy.

And if I wanted to control it and grow stronger, I needed to find a teacher or someone willing enough to show me how. Thankfully, Annabelle has joined my crew for this purpose, so that is a problem just waiting to be fixed.

Still, I activated my magical energy one more time and this time, I tried to suck myself into the vortex.

However, just when my body came in contact with it, my vision went blank.

…....…

"Ahhh!!!" A painful headache assorted my head.

Looking around, I found my body on the ground, in my former room. Trying to understand what I was doing here, it only took me a minute before my memories crashed into my skull like a runaway truck.

Damn it!! I am certainly not trying that again.

Just the splitting headache and my weak bones are enough to remind me bout the stunt I pulled yesterday night.

Blocking the sun away with my hands, I stood up and made my way out of the room.

Now that Toothless was comfortably sleeping in the 'Temporary space storage' while Bones still showed no signs of waking up and I am unable to get in to see what that place looks like, I went towards my new room to first fill my pocket with some cash before thoroughly making sure it was locked and tightly secured before I proceeded to then I head towards the upper deck.

It was time to get my ship repaired and go hunt for a brothel while I take a tour around the Vrymath Kingdom.

Since it was the very first civilization I was going to see, my expectations were a bit high even after I considered its current misfortunate circumstances.

"Captain, I was just about to look for you" Mad John said, while I looked at the rest of the individuals behind him.

I could see that the ship was well anchored and they were all wearing thick long sleeves and a bag that they prepared to carry along with them.

"So, what are we to do next?" I asked, walking towards Annabelle who also looked ready and prepared for the cold.

"We will use a boat and move on from here since we don't want the ship turning into an ice sculpture. Then when we arrive, we will get down on the bridge and then head towards the shipwright's home which is at the end of the bridge and have him come to repair the ship" She replied.

"Doesn't that mean someone will have to accompany the shipwright back?" I questioned "I thought that we will meet him immediately after we arrived".

Mad John was the only one willing to stay and take care of the ship, and just by looking at the faces of my crewmen, I could tell that all of them were packed and prepared to set out. And just by looking at their faces, I was sure that Mad John had already informed them of our plans.

Though one thing was sure, and that was they were ready to search and hunt down any brothel available.

Annabelle shook her head "Yes, someone will have to follow him back. But it's for a good reason, you see, the moonlight's ice keeps on spreading slowly around the Cryptic sea, and so for his safety, you can't expect him to be living in the middle of an icy wasteland with no life in sight just because he is a shipwright".

"The shipwright is an ascendant also, so all we have to do is get him here, and he will get the job done" She continued.

I nodded my head in understanding.

Staring at my crewmen, I asked "Who wants to stay behind with Mad John and fix the ship. Unlike those following me to the Vrymath Kingdom, anyone that stays will be rewarded".

It only took a few seconds to see a hand raised.

"I will stay" I recognized him. His name is Seadog, I think.

"I have no interest in going to the brothels, so I will accompany the shipwright back while he fixes the ship" Seadog replied.
