Preys of the Sea

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 : "Sea Señor ; Lucifer".

Astro's Point Of View

"Then, why are we here?!"I said with my eyes wide.

"Shh! Don't be too loud, Astro! Or else they will hear us, but-! Captain VI gave me a permission to enter this room, and if ever, we got caught, I'll take full responsibility!"He said.

"Okay.. but, what are we doing here?"I ask, he smiled and held my hand, and once again- i let him pull me, i gasp when we arrive at a library, it has tall shelfs and a hundred of books! I like the smell here.

"Wow! I didn't know this ship has a library!"I said in shock, shan immediately shut my mouth close, i giggle.

"Sorry!"I whisper, we stood in front of a shelf.

"Lucifer, outweingOpilfiledOeyOnexilinessive turnmentOhëllOeet droydeOoarOolfOranus!"He mumbled but I didn't understand anything or any word he said, my eyes widen when the shelf open apart.

"Cool, right?"He said and giggle, i immediately nod my head.

"How is that even possible?"I whispered, he smile.

"Well.., there was this old legend that have been past sailor to sailor, they say that the more the ship receive care, that more that it appreciate the sailors, it's more likely to be the ship's spirit that open the shelf"He said, my eyes widen.

"You don't mean-..? this ship is alive-?"He cut me off.

"Ye! Cool right?"He said, my eyes filled with sparkles.

"Super cool!"I said, i never heard this legend before! We both giggle and enter the room, and after that we heard a creak and the shelf immediately slammed close, I look around the room, there are so many maps and cabinets.

"This is a secret room, only me and Captain VI know about this place, although, they know about the library"Shan said, i look around- Amaze.

"Also, feel free to look around"Shan said, that was the clue for me to run towards the bulletin board, out of all the things that are pinned on the bulletin board- only one thing caught my attention.

"Sea Señor? Lucifer?"I mumbled.

"Ah, That's the name of this ship! This ship is originally known as Sea Señor, but most of the high rank officers call him (Sea Señor) Lucifer, because of our Captain's bad reputation, Lucifer (Sea Señor) is known to be the demon's other half, or Captain VI's other half"Shan explain, they really call Captain VI a demon, huh? I wonder why is that.

"But anyway, Julien already told you all the info about the commanders, division, and the ship, right?"He ask, i nod my head.

"But she forgot to tell you about the officers! So I'll be the one who's gonna tell you about them"He said and smiled, they sure have a lot of members.

"There are two kinds of officers, the high rank and the low rank. The high ranks are the Captain, Quartermaster, Navigator, Sniper, Cook, Doctor, Archaeologist, Shipwright, and the Helmsman. Now I'm gonna tell you who are the high ranks, for the Captain- It's Captain VI, of course, and the Quartermaster is Marcelina, and the Navigator is Trejor, and the Sniper is Commander Gwenaëlle, The Cook is Zeena, and the doctor is Hernando, and the Archeologist is Nico, the Shipwright is Alexis, and last but not the least! The Helsman, Cerus!"He said, i nod my head.

"And next are the low rank officers! The low ranks are the Sailing Masters, they are in charge of navigation and piloting, in short they are the one who's helping the navigator, and the Gunners, They watched for the safety of this ship and usually aimed the cannons themselves if needed, and the Powder Monkeys, they are the one who assisted the marksmans and take care of the guns and etc.., and the Boatswains, they are the one who supervised all activities on the ship, their duties are ranged from anchoring to naval provisions. They also report to the Quartermaster or the Captain, And the Surgeons, they are the one who assistant the doctor, and help the members with diseases and wounds. Each low rank roles have many members "He explained, i nod my head again.

"Oh, and it's getting late, we should go back"He said and pulled me, he knock at the shelfs and it automatically opened, making me gasped again, he giggle and pulled me again., after that we both went to the kitchen to have dinner.
