"Come on, we have to load everything onto this ship!" Sin yelled at the other Dark Elves, his voice filled with urgency. "We're running out of time, and if we don't make it to Levania soon, we'll be in big trouble!"

The other Dark Elves scurried around, frantically loading crate after crate onto the ship. They worked tirelessly, their faces set in determination.

Sin watched them for a moment, his expression stern. Then, he turned to me, his features softening slightly. "You know, Ember, I'm glad you're here to help us. We couldn't have done this without you."

I smiled, feeling a sense of pride. "It's no problem, Sin. I'm happy to help."

Sin nodded, then turned back to the others. "Alright, let's get moving! We have to set sail for Levania immediately!"

The Dark Elves hurried to finish loading the ship, their movements quick and efficient. Sin supervised them closely, making sure everything was securely in place.

Suddenly, all of the luggage began to float and moved towards the ship on its own. I watched in amazement as the bags and trunks levitated through the air, effortlessly gliding towards their destination.

As I stood there, stunned, a voice called out to me.

"Master Ember!"

I turned around to see Edvin standing behind me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Hey, Edvin. What are you doing here?" I asked, still trying to process the strange occurrence with the luggage.

"Well, your father told me to come with you," Edvin explained, his voice filled with amusement. "He said that you're going to save the world and that he's proud of you. Oh, and he was crying when he said it."

I couldn't help but laugh at the image of my father, tears streaming down his face, proclaiming my destiny to save the world. It was a ridiculous notion, but I appreciated the sentiment.

"Okay, I guess," I said, shaking my head in disbelief. "But why are you here, Edvin? You're not supposed to be part of this journey."

Edvin shrugged, his grin growing wider. "I wanted to come along for the ride. Besides, your father said it was okay. And who am I to argue with the great Master Ember?"

I rolled my eyes, unable to resist Edvin's playful teasing. "Fine, you can come with us," I said As we prepared to set sail, Sin shouted out instructions to the crew. "Alright, everyone! Let's get this show on the road! Lift the anchor and raise the sails!"

The crew scrambled to follow Sin's orders, hauling up the heavy anchor and hoisting the sails high into the air. The wind caught hold of the fabric, filling it with a loud rustling sound, and the ship slowly began to move.

I watched as my mother and sister stood on the dock, waving goodbye. My mother's eyes were red and puffy, and my sister looked like she was holding back tears. I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, knowing that I wouldn't see them again for a long time.

But as the ship picked up speed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. This was a new chapter in my life, a fresh start. And I was eager to see where this journey would take me.

As we left the safety of the harbor and entered the open sea, the waves grew choppy and the wind began to howl. The ship rocked back and forth, sending spray flying over the deck. I held onto the railing, feeling the salty water splash against my skin.

Sin laughed, his teeth flashing in the sunlight. "This is the life, isn't it, Ember? The thrill of adventure, the rush of the unknown!"

I grinned, feeling my heart race with excitement. "Definitely. I never knew that being a pirate would be so much fun!"
