CHAPTER 51

  Vior's Point Of View

  "Widow! The mast won't last much longer! We should lower the sails!" Sage shouted.

  "Don't be so stupid! I'm just starting to fight this storm!" There was a look of excitement in her eyes and she was serious about handling the ship.

  A big wave would greet us as Widow quickly turned your wheel and then shouted, "Here we go!

  Pull the port!" then turn your ship we're on right into the waves.

  "Let's fly!"

  But it did not end there, a great whirlwind swept over us after passing the mighty waves that nearly engulfed the ship.

  It covers with lightning. "Uno! If we get caught by that waterspot without your help, we will all sink in the water!" Widow informed me again with fear.

  So, this is about me now?

  "Listen to them. You're just going to let me go, aren't you? I'm just here," Zenith said next to me which added even more to my thoughts.

  "What now?!" Maneuver thundered.

  "Uno!" they all shouted at me.

  I turned to Zenith. "Don't get lost huh? I'll be right back too." she just nodded at me then reluctantly I let go.

  "Widow! Maneuver! Tell me what to do."

  "Boys! Lower the sails, now!" Widow commands the others.

  They immediately act Sage to lower your sail. "First, when your sails are lowered. You must control the lightning."

  I quickly went close to Widow.

  "Hey, I'll help too …" I heard Zenith say to Sage as he pulled the sail down.

  "Sure, you're just behind so you don't get in trouble."

  "Tss. You're still underestimating my strength," she said then went behind them. "Full to starboard!" Widow's strong command to them.

  I just watch them and Zenith pulling the sail while wading through the heavy rain and waves. "Hurry!" exclaimed Manuever.

  At the same time, when your sail is lowered and we can get close to the whirlwind. Widow commanded me. "Uno! Now it's …"

  "Absorbing Lightning!" And then I received all the lightnings around us. Only a little left … A loud thunder and lightning fell so quickly then the whole place went dark.

  "Zenith!" I heard them shouted specially Kindred.

  When I looked at where they were, I could no longer see Zenith. Where the hell is she? Suddenly the lightning disappears and whirls along with the absence of Zenith.

  I knew it! So I had a bad feeling, I quickly went down to look for her all over the ship the same way Jewel and Kindred did.

  "What?" I asked but they shook.

  "We don't see her. She suddenly just disappeared when the lightning struck," Jewel replied. I just kicked a gallon and then sprayed it with water.

  "We're sorry, Uno. We didn't know—"

  "Just freaking hell shut up! How many times have I told you that she might disappear if I let go but you didn't listen to me! Now that Zenith is gone, where can I find her in the middle of the ocean?! Where?!" I roared.

  I knew something bad would happen and this is it. Zenith is now missing.

  Venom approached. "Uno, calm down …"

  I just walked away from them.

  "How should I calm down if Zenith is nowhere to be found?! What right do you have to say that? Calm down? Sorry? That won't bring Zenith back!" I just fell to the floor and was beaten in anger.

  She's gone.

  She's totally gone.

  "First … We're here, maybe Zenith will get there at the island first …" said Manuever.

  I looked at them with my face wet with tears. I saw the dark island and our ship was stationary. "Let's go down …" they all said.

  Tremendous picked up the king's body again and then went down first.

  "Zenith is here … I can sense it," Kindred said as he held out his hand.

  I wiped my face first then accepted it and stood up. "Remember, we only have one hour to get out of here when we haven't seen Zenith yet. Come back to the Academy and leave me here."

  When we all got down, the place was so quiet you didn’t have much to eat because of the thickness of the fog.

  How can I find Zenith like this?

  "Kindred … the map. Where are we?"

  He answered. "One of the islands of Bermuda, Alpha Island. There seems to be a problem about my navigation and sensor, as we walk the signal I'm getting is fading."

  "Just make sure you can still locate the magnetite because that's where we'll leave the king's corpse. Then, we still have time to find Zenith, right Uno?" I remain silent.

  "This is a weird place. I feel different, it's horrible almost all of my hair stood on end," Widow commented.

  "Is there really no one living here? This freaking place is so scary that no one really wants to stay here," Tremendous said.

  "You're wrong … many people live here. Actually, they've been monitoring us for a while," I said.

  They were just around and not approaching us. In my estimation they were about two meters away from us, from the back and to the side. They just can't really be noticed because of the fog that covers the area at the same time as they hide in their presence.

  It was a few more minutes before we could trace the spot where the magnetite rock was buried. The most magnetic mineral in the world that is actually only found here on the cursed island. It is claimed that there are around 500 billion tons of it around Bermuda. So all the cursed to attempt to take it do not succeed rather than lose.

  "You can now put it the body there, Tremendous. Above the stone," Manuever ordered him.

  Tremendous gently laid it down, we were just surprised when the stone suddenly swallowed the cold body of King Sergio.

  "I didn't expect that ah."

  "Well, that's it. Our mission is done here. We need to find Zenith as soon as possible to get back to Warrior's Academy. We only have half an hour to get stuck in this place."
