The two Witches chased after the caravan, both at the same speed, right next to each other. They would be at the caravan in a matter of seconds.

Akeru: Itsuki, think of something!!

Itsuki: What, and get both of them pissed at us?! Besides, what do you want me to do?!

Akeru: I don't know, slow them down at least?!

Itsuki: With what?! Nothing can slow them down at this point!

Cleo: Amani, don't you dare; this one is mine! After I deal with them, we can continue our little game!!

Amani: Oh, but if this is so important you drop everything, then this is a new game to me~

Cleo: You slimy little-!

Cleo stops and turns to Amani, trying to punch her, but Amani grabs her hands with her bird feet.

Amani: Come now, did you really think-

Suddenly a dozen sand spears come up and stab Amani. They solidify in milliseconds and keep her in place as Cleo smirks and returns to the caravan.

Amani: You sneaky little demon!!

Cleo: Sorry, I can't hear youuu~!

Itsuki: Oh shit…

Akeru: Armando, do you have a button to make this thing go faster?!

Armando: Afraid not!!!

Akeru: Oh, wonderful!

Cleo gets to the window and smiles at them for a second, then that smile turns evil as she glares at them.

Cleo: Did you think you could get away~? Goodbye~

She laughed as Amani came from behind her and tackled her.

Cleo: Oh, you wretched bird, let go!

Amani stood over her, the bird feet keeping her in place.

Amani: I win~

Amani sits down on Cleo's stomach and smiles down at her.

Amani: Whatever they did, it must have been pretty bad~

Cleo squirms around, trying to break free, but Amani's wings and arms come unconnected as she uses her arms to hold Cleo's arms down as she gets close to her face. Cleo instantly spits at Amani's face, but the harpy just giggles at her and dismisses her storms.

Itsuki: Oh, thank the gods, I think it's over…

Ravenbeard: One can only hope…I need a bloody drink.

Ravenbeard walks to a small sack that has nothing but rum in it.

Akeru: D-Did you steal that before we left?

Ravenbeard: Don't worry, I paid fer it with that treasure you gave me. I can't be too suspicious.

Armando: Well, with that madness out of the way…we should be at the port in no time!

Akeru: God, I need to lie down…Itsuki, come help me.

Itsuki: You need help…lying down?

Akeru: No idiot, she got sand literally everywhere! Help me clean it up!

Itsuki: R-Right…

The two went to clean up as Cleo watched the caravan go away in the distance.

Amani: Maybe after an hour, I'll let you go. Maybe you can catch them~

Cleo: Go to hell…

Amani: You are too reckless-

Cleo: I don't need advice from a wretch like you!!

Amani: Come now, you are just mad you lost. You always were a sore loser-

Cleo: Just shut up already…

The caravan went as fast as it could to the north, to the port town of Ravan. Once there, Armando parked the caravan outside the town as they got off.

Armando: Right…this is where we part ways, I believe!

Itsuki: Wait, you…are not going to come with us?!

Akeru: But if you stay here…she will go after you!

Armando: I know…but I can take care of myself! I plan to go back to Sanoptia after I see you three off!

Akeru hugged him tight suddenly.

Akeru: You are still creepy…but less creepy after our short adventure.

Armando just laughed at her and accepted the hug. Itsuki took his hand and shook it.

Itsuki: We will be back soon, so you better be around for us when we do!

Ravenbeard: Save yer goodbyes for later; we need to get a worthy vessel for our voyage over her waters!

The other three nodded and followed him through the port town. There were plenty of white stone houses and stalls selling things on the side of the streets. They eventually made it down to the docks, where several boats were parked. There was a man near them that welcomed them.

Man: Hello there! May I interest you fine folks in a boa- p-p-p-p-

Ravenbeard: I'm not a pirate anymore, lad; save your breath. We need a fine vessel to head north.

Man: R-R-R-Right…uhm..well, all of these are for sale, s-s-sir!

Akeru: Pick us out a good one, alright?

Ravenbeard nodded as he walked down the dock, examining all the ships. He eventually looks at one beautiful black ship with red trim around it. Then, he went back to the group and looked at the man.

Ravenbeard: That black ship, when did ye get it?

Man: O-O-O-Oh that uh…and an older man gave it to me a year ago! Kind of buff-

Ravenbeard: So my old first mate…we will take my ship back then. How much?

Man: W-W-W-Well, I was thinking 100,000 gold coins-

Akeru: 100,000?! Are you kidding me?!

Ravenbeard: We'll take her-

Akeru: Whoa, whoa whoa, let's calm down a bit-

Ravenbeard: Lass, I believe ye said pick us out a good one. I picked the best ship, a ship worth that, and more.

Man: W-Well, if you think it is worth more-

Ravenbeard: Don't push ye luck, mate.

Armando: I can handle the payment, one moment. Sir, please follow me!

Armando takes the man back to the caravan. They both come back later, and the man looks amazed.

Man: Please take this ship! It's all yours! I finally got rid of it, finally!!

Ravenbeard: Finally? Mate, are you talking ill of me ship?

The man ran away quickly as Armando handed a bag full of treasure to Ravenbeard.

Armando: I'll give it to you since you are in charge of these two. I hope you will provide them with some spending money when you get across the water.

Ravenbeard: Aye…thank ye, mate. I'll take good care of em.

Armando: Well…I better go. You two be on your best behavior, okay?

Armando sniffs a bit, crying underneath the mask.

Itsuki: No promises, clown. See you when we get back!

Akeru: Mhmm! We will cook out and tell stories about what we see over there!

Armando: That sounds oh oh oh oh so incredible! Safe travels, you three…take care!

Armando waved goodbye as he headed back to the caravan. The three started to walk to their new ship when Itsuki spotted an empty pot on the dock with a sign hanging on it saying: "Pay your dues."

Itsuki: Hey Ravenbeard, what's this thing do you know?

Ravenbeard: Aye, I almost forgot.

Ravenbeard took a small piece of treasure and put it in the pot.

Akeru: W-Why did you do that?!

Ravenbeard: It's an old rumor, lass. Those that don't pay tribute to the sea before a voyage shall wreck to the bottom of 'er. Any pirate or sailor knows this; the pot itself is magic leading back to the sea. Remember this, mates; it could save yer lives.

Akeru: Sounds like a scam…but you are the captain…

The three continued to Ravenbeard's ship. However, their adventure in Polisha is over for now, as they set their sights on the northern country of Arezillia to find Akeru's amulet.
