Quest: The Final Frontier

"Now now Orion. I don't think you'll be able to get that lucky every time." Leroy said.

Orion let the fish cook in the air, hanging on the spear. " I won't always be lucky. True, but this fish is huge, it could last us at least a day and two meals."

"Yes, but as I told you I do not like dead things, but if it had seasoning..." Leroy said, and jumped into the water. He found a bit of coral, and brought it up. "Orion, could you fry this into ash, and then sprinkle it on the fish?"

OOC- Isn't coral poisonous or sumthing?

BIC- Orion nodded and burned it, rubbing and sprinkling the coral into the fish.

OOC: Not sure, I just made it up. If it is, well, let us (for the sake of the plot) pretend that thats not true.
BIC:
"Alright, now, may I have a slice. In fact, shall I slice it up for everyone?"

" We aren't done yet." Orion said, taking out of his pouch, pepper,salt and some other spices, he rubbed it all in. " Now we are ready."

Leroy took out a knife, cleaned it, and then sliced up the fish. He handed Orion and Draylon each a piece, and sat down with one himself.

Orion ate his piece, slicing off some for Oreo too.

"Dear Orion, is there anything that that wolf doesn't eat?"

" You." Orion said, eating his piece of fish. " Well then. Looks like this ship could use some of my help." Orion gestured to the deck floor, which was cracked, broken and falling apart. Orion took out some spare planks from the ships storage and begun his work.

"Good show Orion, getting right to work and all." Leroy said, and sat down. He munched some more on his fish until finished. "Orion, do you need any help?"

" Yea, I don't have a hammer and it doesn't look like the ship has one. Also, they have little nails and pitch for the outer area." Orion mumbled, using the hilt of his dagger as a hammer.

Leroy set to work on finding a hammer. He though about finding a hammerhead shark, but then realized it probably wouldn't be very easy to find one. So, he tried to find a lump of metal. Of course, he found a cannonball. Next was a handle. He broke of a piece of ship, and tied it tightly to the ball. There we go, a make-shift hammer! He went back to Orion, and handed him the creation.

When Orion lifted it up, the wood couldn't take the weight of the cannonball any longer and snapped. The canonball fell and hit the nail straight, just like a hammer. " Thanks." Orion said, using the cannonball to pound the nails in.

"Hmmm." Leroy mumbled. Not exactly the method he had considered, but it was effective nonetheless.

Orion rose to bring the cannonball down again when he noticed a sail with a skull on it. It was a huge pirate ship, holding about a hundred pirates. " This doesn't look too good." The ship was close, almost within cannon range and so he put the cannon ball into the cannon and prepared to shoot, straight at the mast.

Leroy loaded 5 other cannons, and lengthened the fuses. He t hen knotted them together at the end, and prepared to light that fuse.

Orion lit the fuse and soon the cannonball shot out. There was a great crack as the mast fell down into the ocean. Orion reloaded it and looked at the ship, there was about fifty cannons pointed at them. " Oh boy..." The cannons fired and the ship shook, one cannonball flew next to his face and he fell down by the force of it. Orion launched a chainshot and the foremast, ripping the entire thing off, it fell onto the ship and rolled its length everytime it went up and down, smashing the railings and cabins. The cannons sounded again, and there were many holes in the ship. " We might have to abort ship soon, again."

"Abandon ship!" Leroy shouted as he lit the fuse. He leapt off the side of the ship and landed in deep water. "Orion, jump!" Leroy's four cannons blew and the other ship rocked with huge holes in its sides. It was snking. But they were sinking faster.

Orion did not go with Leroy, he stayed and was grabbing things around the ship, a rowboat with four paddles, a barrel of fresh water, and a crate with food. Orion shot another cannon before jumpping into the stocked up rowboat with Oreo. He grabbed a few extra planks too and paddled to Leroy. " We could have done this and save you being freezing wet." Orion pulled Leroy up and used fire to dry him.

Leroy smiled at the whole fire thing. "Just cook me to a golden brown, no burning." He said, trying to keep a straight face as he picked up two oars and started rowing.

Orion picked up the other two oars. The sun was setting and they were in the middle of the ocean. " Well, this isn't what I call a vacation." Orion said jokingly as he paddled. Orion then noticed that Oreo was wearing what looked like a saddle with two small crates and more barrels of water. " Well there Oreo, what do you have here?" Orion opened the first crate, it was filled with bread. He passed it to Leroy. " Oreo knows you like bread, so he brought these for you." Orion opened the other box, half of it was filled with spices and flavouring things, the other half was filled with chicken meat, in a seperate box of course. " You might want some chicken, if I put spices on it?"

"Why thank you for the bread, and yes, I would love that." Leroy was about to take a bite of the bread when the voice inside his head decided to come back. Don't eat that! It's poisoned! Now Leroy usually would not really care, for it didn't look or smell poisonous, but when a voice inside your head actually tells you not to eat something, you usually don't. A gull flew over the boat, and Leroy offered it some bread. The bird ate the bread greedily. After it had finished, it started flying away, when it suddenly took a nose-dive. Dead, floating on the water.

Orion checked the crate the bread had come from, there was a red dust thing at the bottom of the box. " Well, my wolf certainly didn't notice that when he took it from the kitchens. The chicken seems to be ok, no powder stuff or anything."

The chicken is fine, eat it! Man that voice was annoying! But nevertheless, he believed what it said. So he ate it, and ate it hungrily.
