Prologue.
Harbor Lights
Young lady was looking at her loved one, wondering if she would ever see him again.
The ship was called "St. Reficul". It was about to set sail to Mareck Islands. Young sailor aboard waved back to the dock.
David looked at the couple. Nobody waved to him from the dock. Perhaps it was better this way.
"Isn't this a lovely weather, David?" Captain asked and smiled. "You shouldn't praise the day before it's over." David said in a calm manner.
Captain mumbled and walked to his cabin. As the sails caught wind, the ship slowly glided to the horizon, and the young lady turned her back to it.
The dock looked like a small dot from the far. David knew he had to leave. He couldn't stay in Arios anymore.
As he closed his eyes, he could see a burning house.
Chapter 1.
Snake eyes
First mate asked if David would like to play a game of dice. Sure he would. He loved gambling.
"Three and a four!" sailor in with a red bandana yelled.
Next, it was the first mate's turn. He shook the dice for a while, and dropped them on the wooden deck.
"Hahah! Two fives! This game is mine!" The dice flew again and again, until it was David's turn.
"Show 'em, Tinker!" Captain said.
David grabbed the dice and threw them. The first die fell on the wooden deck, and it was a one.
The second one spinned for a moment, and it was a one too.
"Snake eyes!" first mate said.
David looked at the black dots, and cold sweat went down his back. He was on the verge of blackout.
Slowly, the dice started to turn into two brown eyes, and David heard a voice in his head.
"Why, David? Why?"
He quickly shook his head. The dice were still on the wooden deck, looking at him.
"You okay, mate?" Captain asked.
"I-i'm all right. Continue without me." David said, and walked to the prow.
He looked at the blue sea. He didn't want to remember. Took so long to forget and now...
"You're one bad loser, mate." someone said and grabbed his shoulder.
David quickly turned and saw the man with red bandana.
"It's just a game. No need to make a ruckus 'bout it." then the man turned and went back to others.
