Rabk- Part 4



RABK- PART 4

Setting Sail



"You mean that you're Odysseus?" asked Rabk excitedly. "The one and only." said Odysseus proudly, but frown soon afterwards."But there is something that you should know. A god has a grudge against me, so we might run into some trouble." Rabk frowned, but Beowulf smiled and said "Hey! It's not like we don't run into any trouble in this world already." Odysseus grinned. "Then let's get ready!. Here, Beowulf. We need this food for the trip." Beowulf looked down at the list and said "I bet we can find these. C'mon Rabk!" And then Beowulf turned an went off into the city. Rabk followed as the went to where Rabk thought was the supermarket, but the store had been converted into an open market, with rows of stalls and stands. Beowulf disappeared into the infinite number of shops with Rabk trying to keep up. To Rabk, the whole place seemed like a maze. The place was very crowded and it seemed like a dark mist was following Rabk everywhere he went, so he couldn't see 5 feet in front of him. He tried going up to a stall that said "MAPS", but as he walked up, he realized that all 6 of his wallets had been taken, so he made his way deeper through the marketplace, where a dozen people came up to him and asking if he wanted a watch. One even asked him if he wanted a sun dial. After about 30 minutes of searching, Rabk finally found an exit. He ran to it, but he tripped over a crate and fell on his face just outside of the market. Beowulf was standing in front of him and cheerfully said, "Oh! There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere. We got to get back to the ship now!" They went back to the ship, and Odysseus almost immediately told them to set sail. They sailed down to the mouth of the river, but as they exited, a cannon fired at them. Beowulf, Rabk, Odysseus, and everyone else on the ship turned to see a large pirate ship with Captain Hook standing in the front. "No one gets away with insulting Captain Hook, boy." Hook fired another shot from the cannon next to him. It took some of the oars from the rowers. "Turn the ship around!" said Odysseus. "Let's get him!" Rabk looked at Beowulf, worriedly. "What's he doing?" asked Rabk. Beowulf shrugged and said "I'm not the ancient Greek naval strategist." The ship was now turned and Odysseus said "Now go straight for him!" The rowers rowed as fast as they could, and Captain Hook looked as confused as Rabk. As they reached Hook, Hook and Beowulf's eyes widened and Beowulf started laughing. Rabk looked at Beowulf, amazed/confused. Rabk hid his eyes as the ships were about to collide, and then the ships hit.
