On the shore, they are greeted by the sounds of a singing crew and the warm ocean breeze. They all let out a sigh of relief making their way to where the crew had set up. A portion of them had gathered further up the coast. The group met up with Captain Ben who was ordering the crew around.

'Ah, you're back. That was fast.' Captain Ben said.

'Here's the wood.' Oran said as he tossed the wood on the sand.

'What happened to him? Wait why's there blood on your shirt?' Captain Ben said pointing at Marco.

'Long story Cap' Aaron said. Aaron, Marco, and Oran then made their way to a shady area under a tree where they just lay on the sand.

'Here's your water.' Hilo said handing over the rock.

'A loch stone. Where'd you get this?' Captain Ben said as he tightened his grip on the stone and water began flowing out of it.

'This is too much kid. We can't just use this for free especially one of that size.' Captain Ben said returning the stone.

'It's fine I have a bunch more just like this one.' Hilo said.

Captain Ben stared at the boy not sure if Hilo was messing with him or not. 'Kid you shouldn't be telling people things like that. What if I decided to rob you? Considering how much this would fetch in the central plains… If it was anyone else they wouldn't hesitate. Lucky for you it's good old me.' Captain Ben said.

'That's why I told you, I can tell you're a good person.' Hilo said.

'Good person huh? I haven't been called that in a while…' Captain Ben said rubbing the scar on his neck.

'Captain! We've caught a big one.' one of the crewmates said.

'Great! Bring it on over.' Captain Ben said.

'What'd they catch?' Hilo said.

'Oh yeah, when y'all left we decided to start fishing.' Captain Ben said.

'Wait what? Did you ask Mahina or Kahakai first?' Hilo said.

'Who?' Captain Ben said.

Deafening screams of some of the men rang throughout the beach. 'Captain!' one of the men said. Captain Ben and Hilo ran to see what happened. A giant white scaled drake peered over the surface of the water.

'Kahakai, she's the shore's guardian you have to ask before fishing' Hilo said. The drake snarled at the few who were trying to gather some fish before running. A piercing growl came from the drake as boiling hot water shot out of its mouth scorching all the fishermen that dared to touch a fish in her sight. Hilo ran towards the drake waving his hands frantically. 'Kahakai it's me Hilo. Please stop they didn't mean the disrespect.' Hilo said.

Kahakai snaked her head down towards Hilo letting out a huff of steam. 'Boy, Mahina may tolerate your antics but I will not.'

'I am sorry they really didn't know. Forgive them this once please.' Hilo said.

Kahakai let out a humming noise as the ocean rose up. 'Ignorance is not something they can afford. Out of respect for Kalena, I will not kill you. They on the other hand won't receive such mercy.' Hilo's eyes darted around not sure what to do. He then noticed Captain Ben who now stood next to him staring the Kahakai in the eyes as if her being didn't impress him.

'Would you reconsider if I personally apologies?' Captain Ben said.

'What use is your apology to me?' Kahakai said.

A wide grin grew on Captain Ben's face as he started stroking his beard. 'What if we gave an offering as a sign of our sincerity?'

Kahakai puffed steam into the captain's face. 'For your bravery, I'll humor you mortal. What can you offer?'

'We'll give you a barrel of Codamer wine. Excellently brewed by their master brewers. I can personally vouch for those damned Halflings. They're stingy and annoying but they know what they're doing. It took a sense to get some off of those damned Mercanta bastards.' Captain Ben said.

'Captain? You can't be serious.' A red-haired man with a monkey on his back said. The monkey on his back nodded its head as if agreeing.

'Sir no, we won't survive without it and think about what Irene will do to us.' Another man said. This time it was a silver-scaled lizardman with blood-red eyes. A tattoo went down his face, it was the exact same one Marco had on his body.

'Do you chaps want to fight a drake?' Captain Ben said.

The two looked at each other and then turned to Kahakai trying to stare her down. With a single puff, Kahakai sent down a gust of steam not even phasing the two men.

'Stop you idiots I'm not going to give it all away it's just one barrel.' The two men and monkey grinned before walking away as if they had accomplished some unimaginable feat. 'Damned idiots.' Captain Ben said.

Kahakai let out the same humming noise as before and the ocean lowered back to normal. 'What is this wine you talk about?' Kahakai said.

'It's a… wait let me show you instead, Boys! Bring me a barrel.' Captain Ben said.

After a short while, a woman with short brown hair and a tattoo on her arm came down the ship. Her tattoo was the exact same as the one on Captain Ben's chest. 'Thanks, Jules but didn't I ask the scrubs to go get it?' Captain Ben said.

'They were too scared of Irene so I had to go.' Jules said.

'We weren't scared. We were just being cautious.' The man with the monkey said.

'Shut up, Leon. Since you volunteered why don't you and Vince go get another two? And you can explain to Irene why 3 barrels are missing.' Captain Ben said.

'But captain I didn't say anything.' Vince said.

'I wasn't asking!' Captain Ben said as an intense pressure began emitting from him. Vince's eyes went from a blood-red to a light orange. The monkey on Leon's shoulder jumped off and ran to Aaron who was still lying on the sand.

'Clint!?' Leon said.

Clint just shook his head before lying next to Aaron. The two hung their heads as they began grumbling on their way into the ship while dragging their feet. Captain Ben let out a sigh before opening the barrel.

'Here, you drink it.' Captain Ben said.

Kahakai slipped her tongue into the barrel. A roaring growl came from her chest as gusts of boiling water shot from the ocean into the sky.

'So, is this enough?' Captain Ben said.

'Yes, this will suffice.' Kahakai said.

'I could give you two more if you help us catch more fish.' Captain Ben said.

Kahakai stared the captain down not sure what went through this mortal's mind. She could easily crush him yet instead of fear his eyes had a fierce glare. A smile slipped onto Kahakai's scaly lips. She snaked her neck closer to the captain before morphing into a white-haired woman with scales on her arms and legs. With one hand she lifted the ocean and with another, she pulled out a large bubble containing dozens of fish. 'Is this enough?'

'Yeah.' Captain Ben said.

She moved the bubble over the sand popping it. Leon and Vincent made it back carrying a barrel each. They placed them near Kahakai who whistled and a small group of turtles wobbled out of the raised ocean. They took the wine onto their backs and wobbled back into the ocean. 'With that our business is complete.' Kahakai said.

'Unfortunately, it is.' Kahakai moved in close to Captain Ben.

'You're interesting for a mortal.' Kahakai whispered.

'I can't say I get that a lot.' Captain Ben said as Kahakai turned back to the ocean.

'Say hello to Mahina for me.' Hilo said.

Kahakai gave a nod and walked back into the ocean before it came crashing down.

'What'd she whisper to you?' Jules said.

'Nothing, just that I still got it.' Captain Ben chuckled.

'Dad!' Jules said.

Captain Ben broke into laughter. Trying to catch his breath his eyes met with Vince and Leon who were nodding their heads with giant grins on their faces. 'What are you lot gawking at? Get to making dinner or do you want me to make it.'

'No Captain!' the crew said as they all started gathering the fish.

'Wait my cooking isn't that bad is it?' Captain Ben said looking at Hilo and Jules who were trying to hold back their laughter. Hilo and Jules shrugged.

'I don't know why you're asking me I thought you said 'I still got it'.' Jules said.
