The rain against his face felt almost like knives, so cold and fast against his skin that he could swear it was cutting. All around him he could hear the yelling of sailors as they fought with the ropes and the shaking of the ship as it was battered about by the waves and winds. Gritting his teeth in anger as he felt himself get momentarily distracted Remi growled in annoyance before centering himself, blocking out all distractions but the storm. The rage of the wind, lightning flashing through the sky as he tried to force his will on the weather itself. The one book on the subject he had been able to find had mentioned that such dissipating a natural storm would definitely be beyond his current ability but maybe... Yes! Slowly raising his hands up he felt his magic power rush to his fingers and the sky directly around the ship began to clear, clouds being forced around the ship. The winds buffeting the ship soon stopped and Remi could vaguely hear the captain shout out orders to the crew before a large hand slapped his shoulder, breaking his concentration.
A rugged and weathered face giving him a fierce glare that matched his own appeared as Remi turned to face the captain who quickly crossed his arms. “I appreciate the help lad but my boys can handle a little rough weather. Don’t exhaust yourself trying to fight back a storm you're not ready to handle.” Remi opened his mouth to argue when suddenly an ear-shattering roar could be heard. The two men rush to the edge of the boat to see a large shape move under the water, passing underneath the boat. Looking to the other side as sailors began to point the first thing Remi’s mind registered was teeth and glowing green eyes…
Much like before a hand on his shoulder ripped Remi out of his thoughts, his hand subconsciously drifting to the sword on his waist. The Captain gave Remi a smile before gesturing to the town of Hargeon across the bay before them. “Well, lad there she is just like I promised you. Hargeon and Fiore itself. All that adventure you were telling me about starts here.” Smiling at the shorter man Remi nods as he begins to feel the tension of the past week begin to leave his shoulders, eyes gazing out onto the town almost with a sparkle in them from his excitement. “That it does, Captain. I can’t thank you enough for this you know… If you hadn’t let me aboard when you did…” Stopping when the other man raised a hand Remi blinked when the Captain shook his head. “Think nothing of it lad, you saved my life and more importantly the lives of my crew against that beast so I think that makes us even. And you have our word that no one will hear anything about you from us, least not till tales of you reach our ears. Mark my words lad, you're gonna do something great.”
With one last clap on the back, the Captain left Remi to his thoughts as the young man leaned against the railing, watching the town with a smile on his face. Not long after once, the ship had made port Remi made a point to shake everyone's hand on the crew he could before throwing his travel bag over his shoulder. Giving one last nod to the Captain he jumped over the side, slowing his fall with a well-timed burst of wind before looking around with wide-eyed excitement at the port, a big smile on his face as he took the first steps of his adventure in a new land. Looking around as he made his way through town wit ha large smile on his face Remi couldn't help but stop to talk to people, merely enjoying the chance to get to experience a new place while mentally thankful that he had taken so many lessons in the language, as he only had a slight Minstrelois accent instead of something more noticeable. Putting aside making any plans on what to do next he instead decided that for now, he would merely enjoy himself, ready and willing to explore a new land.
