Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Two of Doom

 The one hundred twenty-second chapter of Eternal Destiny

A Fatal Conversation: Part Four
''"Dana!" a child called out. "Where's F-" "Hush," a redheaded girl with glasses interrupted. "Ixnay on the Edfray, oronmay. Where are you guys?"''

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO OF DOOM
"I see the island!" Dana announced from the top of the ship.

"Great!" Caitlyn replied. "Okay, the waves are getting stronger and are changing our course. Yliaster, can you turn the rudder to the left?"

"Aye aye," Yliaster responded.

"There it is," Monica said from the water. "So, Caitlyn, you're the maker of the ship. How long would you say until it reaches shore?"

"Provided there's no change in weather, about seven minutes."

"And now that you've said that, there's going to be a change in weather," Rune said knowingly.

"Yeah, you kinda just killed us," Fred yawned.

"With all due respect, let's wager on it," Roy said. "Who says we'll make it in seven minutes?" He, Caitlyn, Yliaster, and Monica raised their hands. "And who says it will take longer?" Rune, Fred, and Spirit raised theirs.

"I choose to abstain from the vote," Dana said.

"Alright, we're here," Caitlyn eventually said as Noatak touched shore. "How long was that?"

"About..." Yliaster said. "Five minutes and thirty seconds."

"Ha!" Dana exclaimed triumphantly. "All of you said it would either be seven minutes or longer than seven minutes. Now pay up!"

"Well, Monica, Spirit, before you ask, yes, this is what we're normally like," Fred said. "Welcome aboard."

The cursed island did not seem very cursed, or really anywhere near as harsh as Gabilan had described. Sandy beach, a jungle further inside, clear skies.

"Okay, so who's staying behind with the Noatak this time?" Dana asked.

"I volunteer," Yliaster said at the same time that Spirit said "Herere."

"With all due respect, what about Monica?" Roy asked. "The island is sort of on land."

"Mermaids can breathe air," Monica said. "The only issues are inability to walk and need to stay hydrated. I can bring some seawater with me, and I can still crawl if need be."

"Need won't be," Fred said. He and Caitlyn each took one of Monica's arms and wrapped it around their shoulders. "Walking on dry land's not a problem when there are friends who can do the walking for you."

"Man, we're awesome," Rune said. "So, let's go."

On that note, leaving Yliaster, Spirit, and Noatak behind, the six of them trekked into the jungles of the cursed island.
