Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

"Are you deaf? I said go and control the sails, we need to be at the nearest city before the end of next week".

I watched him shiver as my words might have scared him a bit.

"Humph!!"

I turned my back on the still terrified Mad John and went back to my room to discuss some issues with Lady Clara.

That idiotic Prince really left me with a lot of work to handle, now I have to find a way to pacify her anger.

Maybe while I am at it, I might as well give her this ship as a gift if nothing else works. After all, I heard that the Emperor paid a lot of money to 'Captain Silver Tongue' for it.

A very expensive vessel was given to a useless Prince like him!!

I am sure that his highness would be happy when I break the news about his death. So I might as well start getting ready for a promotion.

A well-deserved promotion.

"Huh!! Where am I?"

"ARGGGHHH!!!" I screamed as the pain and discomfort in my body felt as though it was drilling a hole through my soul.

I experienced a sense of de Ja-vu as my memories came rushing in, ramming through my head like a truck without breaks.

The pain was inhumane. It was absolutely brutal.

"Ha! Haa!! Haaa!!!" I felt my breathing stabilise as I could now remember everything that had happened without any issue.

Pushing myself up, I sat up with a little difficulty because of my still strained muscles.

"It seems that I didn't die" I said as I looked around the dimly lit environment that looked nothing short but repulsing.

Well, the only good side about this was that I now knew what the insides of a tiger whale looked like.

"Arggghh!! Haa!!!!"

Although it took time and some effort, it didn't take long until I was now standing on my two legs on a lump of some hard flesh.

To be precise, I was limping on one of the tiger whale's nauseating organs.

I would have to be superman if I suddenly woke up and started walking around without suffering from any side effects. So the internal and external discomfort I felt all over my body might have been fair.

At least now, I have learnt my lesson.

I will try testing my powers first before trying to abuse them to their limits.

"Where is it?"

No matter how I looked around, I couldn't find it.

I knew that the book had fallen down from my hands and landed somewhere else, but looking at the dimly lit environment with several lumps of hard internal organs and some blackish grey liquid surrounding them, my heart plunged down indefinitely.

Bending down a little, I placed a finger on the liquid.

"Ouchh!!!"

Yeah, unsurprisingly, my guts were right and I was now standing in the middle of an acidic liquid, trapped in the belly of a tiger whale with no way of finding my way out.

I knew that the 'Fantastic Beasts Of Records' can't melt or be burnt because of the way it had survived my flames.

So if the book was still safe and I can't see it, that meant that it had fallen far away from me, or is trapped somewhere deep beneath this black-grey acidic liquid.

Oh god!!

This isn't seriously happening, right?

How would I be able to retrieve it if the book was really stuck down there?

"Haaaa!! Stop with the jokes" I said as the thought of sacrificing one of my hands to search for the book crossed my mind.

By doing so, I might even complete the physical requirement for becoming a pirate.

But there was no way in hell I would be sacrificing one of my hands.

One was as important as the other and not less.

Hahhh!!! I sat back down and thought about what to do next.

And most of all, my legs and back were slowly getting numb.

I touched my pocket to see if Bones was there.

Gripping my empty pockets tightly, I didn't know how firmly I had gripped them until I accidentally pinched my leg.

My heart had sunk down deeper as I couldn't feel Bones' presence.

Sigh!!!

It was my fault, I should have left him to stay back on the ship.

But because I overestimated myself and my newfound powers I led both of us to our deaths.

The little guy just wanted to scour for food to eat and enjoy the rest of his life, yet I had to make him into my tamed beast.

The former me would have laughed at the current me for feeling this sentimental about the death of a common rat.

But only I understood the meaning of the spiritual connection we both shared.

Maybe it might have been because I was still new to the concept of such a thing so the effects might have impacted me far deeper than that of an ordinary denizen of 'Tharcania'.

"Hahahahaha!!!! I seriously need to stop doing this" I said as I wiped away the tears from my eyes and stood up from my seat.

Sucking in the oxygen in the air until my lungs were full to their limit, I yelled out without hesitation.

"BONNNESSS!!!! I CAN STILL FEEL YOU, SO WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!!!?"

The only response I got back was silence.

An eery uncomfortable silence.

But still, I closed my eyes as the reply I was waiting for wasn't something that could be transmitted through sound.

I grinned.

The little guy was alive.

But!! Why does he sound cheerful and happy?

My eyebrows scrunched up unknowingly.

At this point, the little guy has made me cry wolf more than once and now he sounds as though he was in some kind of wonderland.

I channelled my thoughts through our connection asking him where he was or if he could see me.
