Chapter 105 Overboard

"You guys," Sarah exclaimed, and Alix sighed, wiping his face and looked at Adora.

"Your mask isn't wet, you're reckless," he said, and she laughed as the ship continued to move.

"Kyris casted a spell on my masks, and they adjust to fit me so the water doesn't wet them and I can even breathe freely, magic is a great and dangerous thing," she replied.

"How are you guys going to get back on the ship?" Kyllan asked.

"I have got that covered; you guys can join them as well," Kyris replied then the captain brought him a few water goggles and Kyris threw them to Yan who grabbed onto them and Adora collected one too.

"I see," Sarah said brightly, and Yan jumped over then Nina scoffed as Yan dove down into the water, placed his hand on the side of the bright blue dolphin, and as the dolphin swam and jumped, Yan did the same, and the others laughed.

"You guys can join me," Yan said as he swam alongside Adora and pulled her down, and she started swimming alongside the orcas as they jumped and performed tricks.

"That looks like fun," Ayden said, joining them, as did Sarah and Aerav.

"You guys have a lot of energy," Kyllan said, and Kyris laughed.

"Of course they have; they have never done anything like this before," Kyris said, as Nina sighed while looking at them from the ship's deck.

"I want to join them, but I am not going to take the risk because I am not very good in the water," Eliza said, and Nina laughed and patted her on the shoulder.

"I am glad we all came along; this will be a fun trip; I hope no one bothers the princess; she seems to be having a good time with them," Nina responded and Eliza smiled.

"She seems a little different now, which is good," Eliza said as she sat on the railing.

"Are you not joining us, Alix? These whales and dolphins are both friendly," Adora said as she approached him, and he drew back slightly before smiling.

"I can try," he replied as he took a deep breath and she placed a goggle on his face before pulling him beneath the water, his eyes widened as he stared at the dolphins and the school of fish passing by them.

'This is beautiful," Alix thought and Adora smiled as she pulled him to swim with her and the others.

"They appear to be happy, which is a good thing," Adora thought as she grabbed one of the Orca's dorsal fins.

"She is brave, those creatures are moody," Eliza observed.

"Moody they are, but not right now, so she is taking advantage of that," Nina replied as the water became rough and the Orca's jumped over the waves while Kyris cast a spell and drew the others back to the ship's deck, including Adora, who laughed as the others shook the water off their skin.

"Your highness," Alix said, and Adora turned to face him.

"What is it? Are you upset that I threw you overboard? " she asked and Alix smiled.

"No, I am not mad, thank you," he replied, and her cheeks turned pink as she stared at his smiling face, and sighed.

"I am glad you guys had a good time, now change your clothes before you get sick, now is not the time to get sick," Adora said, turning away and clenching her fists.

"I am getting too attached to them," she muttered as she walked away, and Alix quickly glanced at her before heading to change.

A little while After the princess finished changing, she returned to the deck, and the captain sighed as he looked up at the thunderclouds forming in the sky.

"Guys, it will be night soon, and we've been traveling for hours; aren't you going to get some sleep?" Adora questioned.

"You should be resting, according to my brother you need more sleep and he thinks something is bothering you, something you aren't telling us about," Kyris said as the others returned in clean and dried clothes.

"I think you should get some rest as well," Alix suggested, and Adora scoffed.

"Please don't worry about me guys, I'm fine," she replied, and Alix's eyes narrowed as he looked at her.

"Why are you staring at me, Alix?" Adora asked as he leaned in closer to her, and she stepped back.

"Wh- what?" she asked.

"I believe you are hiding something; we will not force you, but we hope that over time you will share whatever it is with us, maybe we will be able to help you," he responded as his eyes glowed green and she smiled.

"Got it, I'll tell you guys eventually," she said, "sorry I have so many secrets, if I could have shared it by now I would have, but there are things I need to do first."

"We understand, and if Xemon thinks you need rest, you should get it," Alix said and Adora sighed.

"Do you usually swim with whales or dolphins, Your Highness?" Aerav questioned, and Adora smiled.

"Usually? No, I don't think so "Yan replied.

"No, I don't usually do it, it's been a while, but I did it a few times before," Adora said while Alix looked at the waves that were getting rough and the lighting began to flash as the sunset.

"Well, that was incredible, being able to swim with them, it's the first time we've done that, thank you," Aerav said as everyone bowed their heads.

"You are welcome, now don't bow, damn," she said, and they all smiled.

"That's strange," Alix said, and Adora looked at him, then up at the sky.

"When you are on the sea, nothing is strange; these things happen every day," Adora replied, and Alix smiled.

"You sure adore the sea," he stated.

"Yeah, I do, it's peaceful and angry at times," she replied, and he chuckled as the captain came down to them.

"Your highness," he called out.

"Are we heading into a storm, Captain?" Adora requested.

"Seems that way," Alix said.

"Yeah, we are heading into a strong storm; I think you should all go back inside, it's not safe out here," the captain said, and they all looked at each other before returning to the ship's living area, while the captain resumed his work.
