The world has many faces.<\/p>\n
Some show benevolent vales with small humble hamlets, and the others…<\/p>\n
Well, the others are more of a sinister sort.<\/p>\n
\nThe waves crashed against the boat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hull.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153S\u00c3\u00a4de?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Kathika looked around the dark cabin. Her sister S\u00c3\u00a4de uncovered her ears.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That was too loud, Kathika.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I know.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Where is he?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d asked S\u00c3\u00a4de, looking around the dark. The ringing in her ears continued evermore.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The ship captain?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yea.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Above deck. Mom came back from up there and told me she saw him steering the ship towards some landmass.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the island he was talking about?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maybe? Oh gosh, if he does bring us there, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to happen\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know?!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going up there and investigating again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Kathika stormed off, leaving S\u00c3\u00a4de in the cabin, as the former walked above deck. The skies were gray with the promising of a storm; a storm as dark as the island the captain was promising to steer to.
\nShe noticed him, still at the steering wheel. Her father was hiding behind one of the masts, scared out of his wits. She gave him a kindhearted expression before turning to the captain.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Change the route.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Her voice was stern, sharp as a jagged boulder.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What for?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he sneered.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now<\/em>.<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Who are you to command my whereabouts? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re but a twelve year old girl.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are you sure I am nothing but a twelve year old girl? I can assure you, I am stronger than you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ever be as a thirty six year old man.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You and your gifted articulation. I dislike how you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so rebellious, but then again\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You and your entire family. All six of you, so harmless!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n The captain tackled Kathika, pinning her to the ground.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your hearts are so fragile.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0so is your leg!<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n She kicked him in the right shin, with all <\/i>of her might, knocking him away and allowing her to rise to her feet. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Change course, Syretia. You know how to do that, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes. Why?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re currently sailing towards Lilura Island. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the prison. We need to change direction, and hopefully before we arrive. If we were to arrive, there won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be any hope of leaving.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n A brief hesitation, before Syretia nodded and walked to the steering wheel, ignoring the captain in the way. She gave the wheel a strong spin. Another. Yet another.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That should be good. If you see the island in the horizon, inform me and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ensure we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even get near there.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Okay, thank you!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00c5\u201cAnytime.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n The ship made a sharp turn to the right. The next to leave the cabins was S\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a4de, giving a wary glance to the captain.<\/p>\n \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cHe tried to attack me,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d explained Kathika.<\/p>\n \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI never realized you were that <\/i>strong,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d muttered S\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a4de, looking to the captain\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s leg fracture.<\/p>\n \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIt was an act of hysterical strength.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cEither way, Kathika, you\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re a strong one.
