Chapter Fourteen of Doom

The fourteenth chapter of Eternal Destiny

CHAPTER FOURTEEN OF DOOM
"There. It's all ship-shape," Caitlyn said, putting her hammer down.

The S. S. Noatak was fully repaired. It was actually larger now, thanks to the addition of some wood from Trachius's boat.

"So how do you know so much about fixing boats?" Rune asked.

"I learned it from Kelsey, a daughter of Poseidon. How'd you two learn to fight so well?"

"With all due respect a man named Marco..."

"This chick named Aqua who took down three dudes in one shot."

Caitlyn shrugged. "Fair enough. Well, normally the key to a stable structure is triangles. Since a triangle has three sides, each of them supports the other two. That's why triangles are the best structures, normally. In a boat, though, you have to seal gaps so that the water... Hey, are you two listening?"

"Nope."

"With all due respect, something about triangles supporting each other?"

"Cool! From now on, we shall be known as Team Triangle!"

Caitlyn gave a small chuckle and leaned back in the S. S. Noatak. She had a feeling she knew what life would be like going around the world with Rune and Roy.

"So where's the nearest land?" Rune asked.

"Well... there should be an island coming up in about a mile," Caitlyn said. "It's called Ferrorum. Hephaestus goes there sometimes, since it has a high level of minerals that are great for manufacturing, mostly iron and copper. If we stop there for a little bit, we might be able to get supplies for the S. S. Noatak, plus find some of the others who are searching for Eternal Destiny."

"Yeah! Wait, a whole mile? BORING!"

"With all due respect, it shouldn't be that long."

"Yeah, maybe, but there should at least be a sea monster or something to pass the time!"

"Don't say stuff like that, you'll jinx it," Caitlyn pointed out.

After a while, they arrived on the shore of Ferrorum without any sea monster encounters at all. Caitlyn dragged the S. S. Noatak onto the shore and looked at Rune and Roy.

"Okay. I'm going to see if I can find some wood, rope, and iron for a good price. You two just... do whatever. But one of you should probably stay with Noatak."

"With all due respect, I'll stay," Roy said. "Rune, for once try and stay out of trouble."

"I make no promises!" Rune shouted from several feet away.
