Nero ( Rise Of The Sea God )
Memories
The next day once the sun begin to rise
Many of the townspeople who were at the feast wake up once they felt the light from the sun.
They were all holding their head as it hurt from sleeping outside on the cold hard ground
Hart ( fishman island chief )
We really went overboard did we
* waking up while taking off his shirt to dust out the dirt from the ground *
Nova
Yes you really did
* walking outside from the house to greet her husband *
She gives hart a cup of water and a kiss asking him if he is feeling better
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Much better thank you.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* looks around *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Where is max
Nova
She isn't a bunch of animals like you guy, she slept inside the house like a normal person would
Max herself then came from the house to greet the two
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Morning
They all greet each other
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Are you leaving already
Maxine
My job here is done, I have to get back to my guild now
Nova
Well thanks again for your help.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
And drop by anytime if you want another party
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Ow
* he cried after his wife elbow him in his ribs *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Come on I was just joking
Both hart and nova started bantering with each other and max watching them couldnt help but smile seeing the two lovely couple
Max think to herself that if she would have a bond like this with someone she likes one day
But she stops herself from thinking too much about a future like that.
She grip her arm thinking that it would impossible for her since she only have two more years
Hopping on cole back she make her leave after saying her final goodbye.
As she was about to leave the island she remember that she wanted to go find that strange blue boy
So she turn around to head back to the last place she saw the boy.
Landing in the same area where she defeated the sea serpent. She ask cole to sniff the area for the boy's scent.
Cole the wyvern
* sniff, sniff *
Cole the wyvern
* He had a reaction *
Maxine
Did you find something boy
Cole the wyvern
* He took to the sky with max and heads south *
Max at the same time uses her search magic to try and locate the boy
She manage to pick up on a signal and head towards it
Some time later, she and cole stumble upon a old rugged down house in the woods.
Around the house it has it own farm fill with different crops like fruits and veggies and a garden with many beautiful flowers
They all looks so perserve
Asking cole to stay away so that he doesn't scare away the people living here
Max went toward the house
Getting closer to the house, max started to feel anxious for some reason
Maxine
Why am i feeling like this
？？？
Is there something that I can help you with
Maxine
eeek
* jumping in fear *
Maxine
* Quickly turning around to face the woman *
Maxine
I am sorry for intruding like this ma'am
Monica
* Looking at the girl, she can tell that she is a mage from the mainland *
Monica
Why are you here
* giving a tense look *
Monica
Are you after my son
* looking hostile toward max *
Maxine
Wait... Your son
* getting a bit confuse *
Monica
My son did not do anything wrong, so just leave us alone
Maxine
Wait, could your son be the one they call nero
Maxine
A human raising a danger beast, what could that mean
* thinking to herself *
Monica
* stepping toward max *
Maxine
No wait, it not like that.
Maxine
I am looking for your son, but I am not here to do anything
Max then drop all of her stuffs. Her staff and her bag fill with magic item
Maxine
See i come in peace
Monica sensing no hidden intention from her she invited the young mage inside
Max quickly pick up her stuffs before following the woman inside the house
Maxine
Thank you for having me, My name is max
Inside the house, max looks around to see the place fill with all kind of antique
Vases, jewels and unique painting that max thinks would be incredible priceless on mainland market
Maxine
Don't miss monica know that these thing can fetch a lot of money. Why not trade them to buy a better house
* Thinking to herself *
Maxine
In a matter of fact, where did she even get these
* Thinking in her mind *
Monica
So is there's a reason why you are here
Maxine
I am a mage from the mainland
Maxine
So your son is really the one the townpeople calls nero.
Maxine
I wanted to see him since I didn't get the chance to.... thank him for saving my life the other day
Maxine
yes... If it wasn't for him.... I would have die during my mission
* getting a bit nervous from the lies *
Monica
Well he is not here at the moment. But if you wait a little longer, he will return soon
They both then heard footsteps coming toward the house
At first max though that it would him. But it was someone else
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Monica are you there
Maxine
That voice, it sound like the chief. What is he doing here
When monica went to answer the door, max decide to hide and listen to what they are going to say
Monica
* After answering the door *
Monica
Can I help you with something hart
* Looking at him with unpleasant eyes *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
That monster boy of you was spotted near our side of the island again. This time he even attack an adventurer who help we hire to take care of our monster problem
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Not only that but he was there with that said monster when we found it. The town is already thinking that he is behind this
Monica
Nero have nothing to do with that, he isn't that kind of person
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Open your eyes woman
* he shouted at her *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
He is a monster, sooner or later he will reveal his true nature
Monica
It is too late for you to start worrying about me
* said in a sad tone *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
I just came here to give you a final warming. The people are getting more and more worried since he is showing up more frequently now near the town
Hart ( fishman island chief )
One more mistake like this and I won't be able to protect you anymore
Out of sight monica went back inside to find max kneeling down on the ground
Maxine
* Giving no response *
Monica taps max on her shoulder but max reaction spook her a bit
Max was panting hard and sweating
Maxine
Yes, i am fine. I am going outside for some fresh air if you don't mind
She makes her way through the forest to the sea shore not too far from behind the house
She kept on having strange flashes of memories of a certain time in her past
Maxine
Why... Why do I keep coming back to that day. Why can't I forget already
Stopping at the shore, she took some water from her inventor and smash it on her face to try and calm herself down
Finally calming down she was about to head back to the house but then notices something coming up from the sea
She quickly ran and hide behind a tree to take a look
The water burst up reveal that it is nero. And he is carry a large bag
