Chapter 6 - On the stars cruise vacation ( part 3 )

Although Anka calmed down knowing all these things, it does not mean that she is good.

Now she had to serve 'Fahim Verum' but she didn't even know his species. She had absolutely no information about him other than, he was the elf prince best friend which didn't help much. So all she could do was get used to the ship and that was it.

All the time until 18:00 she spent reading books of universal manners and even traditional dishes for several species that she considered close to elves.

Oh. She also bought a shabby cadet suit for herself from the system store ( cost 20 gold ) . The costumes given by the mermaids were not to her taste at all. In addition to being garishly colored, they also showed too much skin, which she didn't like.

The new suit was a navy blue, with a white scarf around the neck, tight pants to the knees, the shirt coming down to below the buttocks. It was elegant and comfortable.

There were 3 minutes until the guests arrived on the ship.

They were transported through 'teleportation portals' built by the System, which were the fastest ways but also among the safest in the entire universe.

They were all gathered in the huge hall in the center of the ship.

The stairs were carved from golden trees, and the glass made by 'dwarves'... Works of art from all over the universe were placed as decorations in places. The hall was the transit area between all the floors. Looking up you could see a gorgeous chandelier made of siren's tears, and the veneer was pitch black stone, favored by 'dragons' for its hardness.

The other people on earth who took part in the scenario had the costumes given by the ship ,but in addition they also had a white mask on their face. It seems they all completed the side quest and were using the reward as part of the costume. After all, mermaids love cleanliness, and they are on a mermaid's boat...

' They must have found out the background of the ship while searching for information about the passengers ...'

Anka's thoughts were clouded, yet her face did not show. She was used to hiding her true feelings behind a smile, so she had experience. 

The captain , 'Grøn Hale' ,was very well dressed. When they were in room 209 she didn't have time to properly appreciate his looks because she was stuck on the name 'Fahim Verum', but now that she got her emotions in order she could appreciate the beauty of a mermaid.

She really had the feeling that she was bewitched.

'Wow! I didn't think he felt that way. It's more like the body wants to see more than the soul or mind is bewitched...As far as I know the element of mermaids is the sound but also part water...

Mermaids are 11th most powerful among the higher races no without a reason. They are described as great warriors, loving to contest with elves...

As she lost himself in his thoughts, the teleportation circle in front of her lit up. A blinding light, and a group of individuals appeared out of nowhere.

[Ding! Is 18:00 . Side mission has expired! ]

Anka ignored this message, there was no penalty for failure anyway...

The first group that came was the 'angel' Janah Sama, the best musician of the last 200 years. He has a crystal clear voice which reaches even the highest notes.

It seems to be as the novel described, his golden hair flowed down to the ground, his white clothes overflowed with warmth, his beautiful face was simply like a perfect sculpture. His gray eyes were his hallmark though , behind him were 4 servants .

Then in this order they arrived: the 'phoenix' - Piros Mez, model and popular host ; the 'vampire' - Luna Noapte, fashion designer with stores in almost all corners of the universe ; the 'alicorn' - Torden Drom, among the best storytellers and writers in the universe; the 'werewolf' - Hund Heulen, an engineer concerned with inventing all kinds of machines that combine magic with technology ; the 'Griffon' - Klyuev Dlinny, popular actor, musician, model ; 'Star People' - Skoni Ble, a talented apprentice in making potions and magic circles ; 'pegasus' - Ewyn Haul, explorer and existentialist popular for his innovations and theories ; 'elf'- Svaratuv Himinn , prince and official fighter of the 'Ludus' games, the 'Frunza' team.

And finally the last one. 'Fahim Verum' . No idea about species or origin. When the 'elven' prince appeared it was just me, the captain and unfortunately Anka's former colleague...

'It seems that he will serve the elven prince.'

The circle lit up again. This time there were only two people. One was obviously an 'elf'. Silver hair and pointed ears, plus a signature elven outfit. He even had the bow on his back. He was as you would expect - handsome.

Behind him was a person dressed from head to toe in black. He had a black suit, leather shoes, jacket, shirt, coat, gloves, scarf... all black .

He wore a mask over his entire face that you couldn't see anything through. Not even the eyes. The hair that was visible was obvious - black.

Anka was shocked when she saw him, she didn't think there was a more conservative person like her in this world, but look at him - this guy didn't even have a piece of skin in sight.

'Honestly, he is very well dressed. Is this how elves treat their servants?'

That's what the other people present thought too.

Anka's former teammate, whose name is Alex by the wey , stepped forward and bowed politely.

The captain of the ship spoke a few polite words to the 'elven' prince and then went to his place, obviously wanting to wait for the last guest ...

The elf as if guessing this turned to the 'servant' in black and chuckled.

- Captain, you don't have to wait any longer. This is my friend Fahim.

I, who was still studying his outfit appreciatively, froze. Then I moved forward and imitated Felix's previous gesture. Label is label after all.

In fact, none of the guests paid any attention to us. The prince was just talking to the captain, and 'Fahim' was apparently interested in the floor because he was studying it carefully.

- Mr. Svartur, we are glad to have received your honored friend. I have already prepared the rooms and designated servants can take you there. Whatever you want, they will be at your disposal. We want the cruise to please you for the next two weeks!

With that he said a few more compliments and disappeared. From the beginning to the end he had not spoken to 'Fahim' but Anka caught a brief look of disgust in his eyes...

'Strange...for a mermaid to act like this...it just means that the one I will have to serve is...'

Suddenly 'Fahim' looked at Anka. The latter was taken by surprise. So they looked into each other's 'eyes' for a few seconds then Anka looked away embarrassed...

' He surprised me just now ... I think he was looking at me, right? I can't guess because he has a mask on his face...'

What she didn't notice is that she was still being watched by Fahim.

The elf looked at the exhibits in the hall for a moment then said to his friend in black…

- Fahim, I'm going to the room. We meet in an hour in the amphitheater, there will be a show put on by 'changement' for the 'Legend of Creation - Mane'.

- Good .

The voice coming from behind the mask was deep and unforgettable. It felt cold but somehow clean like water.

' I like this voice more than the angel's. In the end, the latter's voice sounds like a little girl asking for candy...'

Anka thought , when she left the hall with Fahim following…
