Chapter 36 Revenge
And so, I stepped into the light.
At least now I know how vampires feel when they step into the light after spending several days in darkness.
Walking forward as I waited for my eyes to adjust to the bright rays of sunlight. Although it was uncomfortable, but it only took a few minutes before I could see the view of the wide blue sea in front of me.
The sounds of the crashing waves of water filled my hearing. There were no birds or seagulls in sight so I couldn't confirm if we were anywhere near land or trapped somewhere in the deep expanse of the open sea.
"Hold still, let me climb up".
Jumping up with the aid of her tongue giving me a boost, I managed to successfully scale myself up to the top of her head.
The view of the sea was nice, but that didn't strip it away of the dangers that came with it. Somewhere deep beneath these waters, there were still beasts that were several times larger and more dangerous than my Tiger whale….Right! I can't keep calling her that.
"ROOARR!!"
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I will come up with a good name for you.
I decided to take my time and think about the best name that would be befitting for a man-eating whale.
And after several minutes of thinking, I finally thought of the best name that I could give her.
"How about Toothless?" I said as I felt the body under me begin to move until I could feel that she had her mouth wide open.
Looking down from above, I could see her sharp rows of teeth that glistened in the sunlight.
They looked more beautiful and less dangerous now that I wasn't the bait anymore and could use them against my enemies
"Alright, I can see your point. But still, have you ever heard of chicanery, misinformation and sophistry".
"ROAR!!"
"I thought so. You see calling you Toothless would be a name that nobody would ever suspect. They might even lower their guard after hearing such a name and would never expect the bearer to be a ferocious man-eating whale" I replied.
"ROAR!!"
"Now you are getting it" I said as I rub my hands on her tiger-stripped hairy body "Now, tell me why you had attacked me previously….. But before you do that, how many days have I been in that stomach of yours?".
"ROARR!!!"
"74 hours huh!! That means I have been away from my ship for more than 3 days. Can you get me back to the ship I jumped off from?" I said as I instantly remembered something.
"And instead of saying it out, just think about your words and channel them towards me. Just follow the same method you had used when I was roasting my body from the inside out, I would still hear it the same way. Your loud roars are beginning to damage my eardrums".
"ROAR!!"
"Sigh!! No worries" I said, accepting her apology before I immediately got her answer.
"You can pick up the ship's trial huh!! Alright, let's go then. You can tell me why you were craving for my flesh and soul 3 days ago along the way" I said as I felt Toothless body moving as her large fins and tail caused the water surrounding us to ripple backwards in waves.
Knowing that she wouldn't go underwater because I was currently on top of her, I laid down on my back as I paid attention to why she had attacked me.
And after an hour of recounting everything, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger as I sat back up on her back.
"So you mean that you had lost your child after shielding him from another deep sea predator, and after you had successfully won the battle, you decided to look for your child only to trace its trail back to my ship, my room specifically" I said as the rage in my eyes wasn't one that sea below me could quell.
"And seeing that you couldn't feel your child's pulse any longer or get back a feedback from him, you decided to attack my room to confirm your suspicions and instinct. And after seeing that they were correct because you had seen the remains of your child that had fallen out of my room you decided to attack me, thinking that I might be the culprit. Am I right?".
"ROAAARRR!!!"
"Don't worry, there isn't any need for you to apologize. You did nothing wrong and were only following your instincts. Besides, your emotions at that moment were clearly justifiable. Just don't worry about it and get me back to my ship as quickly as you can. If you do that, I promise to get you the person responsible for killing your child".
I laid back down against Toothless body which was strangely comfortable., prompting me to close my eyes.
That bitch!!
All of this was definitely the handwork of that fucking uncouth knight.
I am sure that she was the one that planted such a thing in my room. And the fact that she had decided not to help me when Toothless first attacked only toughened and affirmed my suspicions.
Oh, that bitch, I will make her regret it.
She will regret ever toying with my life.
I tried my best to suppress and calm my growing anger until I am face to face with the knight so that I will release every ounce of my fury on her.
But that still didn't stop my anger from leaking.
"Toothless, please, can you make it so we arrive at my ship faster".
My voice was colder than I had expected, devoid of any subtle emotion.
Toothless answered me back with a thought, and within seconds, I could feel the soft breeze blowing against my body as she swam faster.
Knight Camille!!
She should better start praying to whichever god she serves because I am going to offer her soul to the devil that I know.
