Cherreads

Chapter 36 - Ch 36 (The Sea)

...And with the scent of salty sea and the sound of wet wood, the two ascend to the first floor, while the travelers are sitting to eat. Sherlock and Finn sit in an area at the edge of the seats, while the other travelers also sit in their seats. With the sound of calm waves, Christopher strikes a spoon on a glass cup to get attention and says: Attention everyone, I hope your journey aboard my ship, which carries goods at times and passengers at others, is a good choice for you, and I hope you enjoy this journey and enjoy the food—fish, caviar, and many varieties. Then everyone cheers Christopher. Then Christopher lifts the curtains from the huge windows, revealing the beautiful, shining conceptual spiritual stars. While Finn and Sherlock get their food from the crew member responsible for distributing food, the two take their food and sit in their seats, looking at the conceptual stars in the sky...

..Finn sighs and says: What do you think of my father's ship? Did you like it? Sherlock sighs and says: Yes, it's beautiful and the food is delicious. While the two eat, a lady beside them talks with her friends and says: Yes indeed, these stars and luminous things within this existence created by the eight great gods are a work of art. The person responds, saying: Yes indeed, Lady Nevin, the eight gods are the most refined and highest in this world. Sherlock puts down his spoon, stops eating the fish, and goes directly to wash his hands. He burns with anger inside while outwardly appearing calm and serene. Then Finn says: You finished quickly, are you full? Sherlock says: Yes indeed. Meanwhile, Nevin continues her speech to Mr. Hansen, saying: When I reach the Angelic Kingdom, I will write a report to the High Council about the necessity of creating a global religion that connects all these gods. Then a paper falls from that lady and hits Sherlock's foot. Sherlock picks up the paper and says: Here you are, this paper fell from you. The lady smiles at him, takes the paper, and says: Thank you, sir. Sherlock smiles at her and says: No problem, may I just ask a question?..

..While Finn watches in silence, Lady Nevin speaks and says: Go ahead. Mr. Hansen and Mr. Murray look at Sherlock, who asks a question, saying: Are all eight gods equally powerful? Lady Nevin responds, saying: No, of course not, the power of the paths differs according to the god, and each path has its own distinction. Sherlock smiles slightly and says: Alright, so you're saying that each god has something that distinguishes him from the other, correct? Lady Nevin says: Yes. Sherlock sighs and says: Then since each god has something that distinguishes him from another, he is deficient, imperfect, and lacks a higher creator! Mr. Hansen and Mr. Murray are surprised, while Lady Nevin says: I don't understand what you mean, they are indeed perfect gods, what do you mean? While Sherlock begins to speak, suddenly another ship collides with Christopher's ship. Then huge ropes emerge and pierce the ship's wall. Everyone is surprised..

..Suddenly, while everyone is in a state of fear and panic, Sherlock and Finn exit the first floor. Then pirates wearing black clothes appear, and at the forefront, a huge magician moves his staff in the sky. Then Christopher, who had sent the crew to protect the travelers, stands and speaks, saying: These are not ordinary pirates. Suddenly, a star shines in the sky—or at least that's what they thought. Then Sherlock, using his foresight ability, says: This bodes ill, we must remove the hooks from the ship quickly. Finn, Sherlock, and Christopher try to remove the hooks from the ship's walls. Suddenly, Sherlock shouts: They want to... He doesn't finish his sentence before a massive meteor strikes the ship. Then an enormous wave appears, about to destroy the ship. Then a strange feather appears that no one sees and falls on the ship. While Sherlock looks at those wearing black cloaks, their ship suddenly disappears as if it never existed. While Sherlock shouts: Take cover! Then the ship sinks with everyone on board into the ocean..

..Sherlock opens his eye on an island in the middle of the ocean and coughs up a lot of salty water. While he lies sleeping in the sand, a crab grabs his ear and squeezes it. Then Sherlock pushes the crab away and stands up, his clothes and hair full of dirt. Sherlock stands on the ground [I must take a shower, there's so much dirt on my body and in my mouth]. Then Sherlock goes to the water, takes off all his clothes, cleans himself with the water, cleans his clothes, and puts them back on [You fool, I wish you had an ability related to heat, these clothes are completely wet]. Then the Fool responds to him, saying: This strange golden mist can create any ability you can imagine or not imagine, but it depends on the extent of your power. Sherlock sighs a little and says: Alright then, my clothes will stay wet. Sherlock looks at the huge island and says: Alright then, I don't know where I am, so I must explore this island..

..On the other side of the island, Finn wakes up, his mouth full of dirt, and says: Where am I? Finn looks at the sea [It seems the ship was completely destroyed, I wonder where my father is now]. Finn stands and tries to clean himself from the dirt and says: I must explore this island and try to search for my father [Who were these people by the Creator? They weren't pirates, I've never seen pirates like this before, there's something going on]. Then Finn moves and enters among the trees..

..While Sherlock walks in the forest among the dense trees, Sherlock suddenly stops and sees before him a deer with four horns shining white. When Sherlock tries to approach it, the deer looks at him with its silver eyes. Then a strange blue aura emerges under its feet, and the deer walks on air as if flying and moves away. Sherlock follows it and runs quickly behind it, and sees before him a huge decorated stone door with the deer in front of it. Suddenly, the deer disappears as if it never existed..

..While Finn advances in the forest, Finn suddenly falls into a deep pit below and screams very loudly in a deep abyss stretching for kilometers beneath the earth. After several minutes, Finn falls onto ground covered in gold coins and loses consciousness..

..Sherlock stands before the huge stone door, then places his hand on it. Suddenly, the door moves and strange words appear in a language foreign to him. Then the door opens, and Sherlock sees a huge staircase extending downward [What is this thing!]. Sherlock descends the countless stairs, and with each step downward, gravity increases greatly. After half an hour, Sherlock reaches the bottom and sees a relatively small door. He opens it to find before him an infinite space of gold coins covering every place in this world connected to the outside world. Sherlock is extremely surprised. Then the Fool speaks, saying: I feel a terrifying aura inside this world, an unknown aura that gives me chills!..

..Sherlock walks among the gold coins, jewelry, and legendary weapons that shine intensely. Then Sherlock sees a weapon shining with every logically possible color and says: Oh my god! This sword can control over a billion different abilities! [Every sword, every coin, every book in this place has a description, and everything is distinct, as if these precious legendary things are telling me to obtain them]. Sherlock walks among books scattered everywhere, red, blue, gold, and black books, all containing skills from an unknown civilization and another unknown power..

..Sherlock climbs a huge mountain of gold, then sees a mask shining with indescribable colors, infinite colors, every logically possible color. The mask draws Sherlock toward it. Sherlock approaches it more and more, then grabs the mask of unknown abilities and unknown everything. The Fool speaks, saying: Something is wrong! Suddenly, something massive moves beneath the gold. Sherlock stands with the mask in his hand. Suddenly, an infinitely huge dragon appears with an indescribable aura and an overwhelming presence. The dragon speaks in a terrifying voice with an overwhelming presence that shakes this infinite world, saying: Who dares to take the legendary mask of existence! The infinite dragon looks at Sherlock and says: Tell me who you are, creature. Sherlock feels fear and says: I... I am Sherlock. Then the dragon speaks, saying: I feel a strange power within you that I don't know the source of. Sherlock doesn't speak, while the dragon appears terrifyingly, with an infinite red aura surrounding it, and a huge black eye appears looking at Sherlock..

..Then the dragon says: I is Alfie, a hybrid of angels and demons, from the Path of Chaos, specifically the Second Ember, the Red Chaos Angel Ember. Sherlock is extremely surprised [What kind of existence is this, it is so powerful]. Then Alfie speaks in a terrifying and dreadful voice: And now I will eat you and end your existence. Sherlock grits his teeth [Ruler of Beginning and End]. Suddenly, the Fool emerges from inside Sherlock, with the golden mist surrounding him. Then Alfie speaks, saying: Yes, so that's it, it's you. While the entity looks at the Fool's eye, he says: This will be a wonderful game. Suddenly, the entity looks at the transcendent golden mist, and then the entity feels great fear [Why do I feel fear from this entity whose power is only from a Sequence Seven Transcender!] Then Alfie speaks, saying: Tell me your name, creature. Then the Fool speaks, saying: I am the Fool. Alfie is extremely surprised and says: I feel a feeling that prevents me from killing you, creature. Go quickly before I change my mind. As for this mask, it is yours, take it. I have a contradictory feeling telling me to let you take the mask and a feeling preventing me from giving it to you. Go..

..Finn hides and watches what is happening, saying to himself [Sherlock is this entity! Oh my god]. Then a red aura surrounds Finn, and he is suddenly drawn toward Alfie. While Alfie speaks, saying: At least I will take this meal. The Fool looks at the entity to find that it is Finn. While Finn screams for help, the Fool speaks, saying: Please stop. The dragon stops while becoming very angry and says: I told you to go from here and I would leave you. Let me enjoy this appetizer. Then the Fool speaks, saying: Let him go and I will give you something better than him, trust me. While the Fool holds the mask in his hand, he says to himself [Through the mist I can create anything, but Sherlock's power now is not enough to make the mist create even an ant, so I will wear the mask]. Suddenly, the Fool puts the mask on his face. Then an immensely powerful black aura emerges, lighting up the place with tremendous intensity. While the Fool feels that Sherlock's body becomes many times stronger, the mask with the smiling face merges, its smile terrifying. Strange markings appear on the mask. Then the golden mist moves and shines intensely, and suddenly a huge crab over 10 meters long is created. Alfie is surprised [That mist makes me feel fear]. Then he speaks, saying: Alright then, a winning deal. Then Alfie throws Finn toward the Fool, who catches Finn with the golden mist and lowers him. Then Alfie says: Before you go, take this key. Since you are the first person to enter here, this black key will allow you to enter the world of Vendora at any time. Just make a motion in the air as if opening a door, and it will come directly. When you leave, the passage, the stone wall, and the entire temple will disappear. And now, go..

..The Fool smiles beneath the mask, then uses tendrils of golden mist to hold Finn. Finn is surprised. Then the Fool moves with immense speed upward, and suddenly the castle disappears completely as if it never existed..
