Part 2

The Celestial Dawn was Leon's ship, He went on several adventures with it and it's crew. It was one of three in a small fleet of Leon and his two best friends. The Celestial Dawn, The Celestial Eclipse and The Celestial Dusk where the names Of the the ships. Leon was the captain of the Dawn of course, and Vince was the captain of the Dusk and his other friend Scads was captain of the Twilight. Leon watched the crew work as they set up the gang way then looked at Raelix, an member of the Dawns crew. "It's in perfect condition, just as I left it." He said staring at the ship in awe. Raelix just grinned. "Yeah, I thought you might like that, Vince worked hard to restore it I thought he was going to take with him but he didn't, it seems he was trying to send you a message." Leon laughed. Yeah, Vince was always weird like that. But why do you need me? Scads is willing to help isn't he?" He asked. The man nodded." Scads turned his back on him, he really let himself go, he's just the town drunk now." Leon looked at him with disbelief "Scads?!" Leon turned around, hearing the front door shut behind him. It was his wife, Mira. "What's going on love?" She asked, putting her head on his shoulder."My friend Vince went missing, Raelix here is asking me to help find him." Leon said wrapping one arm around his wife. She looked at the young man shock. "Raelix, is that really you? My, haven't you grown up since I saw you last." Raelix looked at the two smiling but his voice still serious. "Yeah, I desperately need his help, he know the area where Vince went missing. I have no clue how to navigate that area. Where as Leon, navigated through that area several times without a problem. Scared the crew to death the first time though. The Bloodstone Islands are dangerous, not a place to be for a mere novice like myself." Raelix said modestly. "What do you think love?" Leon asked is wife. "I think you should go, your friend needs you." She said looking in to his eyes. He sighed. "Yeah but you and the kids need me too." Mira smiled. "Yes, but we can survive without you for a while. Just as long as you promise to come back in one piece." Leon nodded and turned back to Raelix. "Alright, I'll go with you. Just give me time to get ready." He said opening the door and entering the house. "Why not come in for something to drink while you wait?" Mira asked, following her husband though the door. Leon was greeted by his two sons Imry and Liam. "Dad, what's going on? Leon knelled down messing up their hair. "Well your dad has to go away for a while to help an old friend." The two looked up at him tears beginning to form. "Do we get to come with you?" They asked with pouty faces. "No, it's way to dangerous. Besides I need to ask you boys something." He said with a chuckle. "What is it!?" The two asked, excitement displaying on their little faces. "I need you to take care of your mother, and the house. You're the men of the house until I return. You need to chop and bring in the fire wood and protect your mother for me. Will you do that?" The two looked at him with disappointment. "Yeah dad, we can do that." Leon patted their heads gently and smiled. "Good." To be continued....
