Norax- The Voyage Chapter 2


After an hour or so, they had assigned positions for the trip. The werewolf was captain with Gladius and the two dwarves under him. The rest of the people were cooks—who also fished--, warriors, or deck hands. The boat would be leaving in slightly less than 2 weeks. For the next two weeks, which was two days in the actual world.  For those two weeks, everyone worked as hard as they could. When it was time for group to leave, the boat was filled with weapons, food, and other gear they needed to survive. Everyone was on board and ready but the captain was nowhere to be seen. About half an hour, the werewolf showed up bleed out in four different places. Gladius ran up to him and healed him. He said that he was attacked by mutant seagulls that were flying at the under end of the docks. Just as he finished telling the crew that the seagulls had two heads and talons, a group of about 100 of them flew over at them.

The captain told the crew to take off. As the book started to lurch forward, three men went to the back of the boat and began to fire their crossbows at the birds.  Birds began falling onto the boat or in the ocean. Soon, the birds flew away realizing they were outmatched.  Gladius and the two dwarves began to gather the birds on the ship and bring them to the cooks to prepare for dinner.
