"Morris. Cornelius. Come on. You guys can't just stay inside all day."
All Fenix wanted to do was go out and look for Mom, but Morris and Cornelius had other plans. Cornelius wanted to solve online mysteries while Morris watched and wrote some "good" music. Fenix sighed, and snuck up on the two Kalons. He unplugged the computer and took Morris's pencil. They yelled at Fenix for a little, and then at each other, and finally agreed to go and help Fenix with the cost of him getting them both some food for the way.
All went well, they all went around town asking if they had seen their mom. They got to the port, filled with ships coming and going by the minute. They spotted a ship with the captain current on it, and they got there as fast as they could.
"Come on guys, let's go see the captain!"
"Are you sure..? I think we should go back...."
"It'll be fun!!"
Morris had his doubts, but proceeded with his two brothers. They snuck around the guards making sure nothing happened at the port, and made their way onto the ship. They walked around the ship as the crew set up boxes and other goods. They were just about to give up, when the ship jerked back. The brothers fell back into a forest of boxes, and captain yelled commands to his crew. By the time the brothers could find out what was going on, the ship had already made it's way to sea with no port in sight.
Cornelius face pawed at Fenix.
"Look what you got us into! You idiot!"
Fenix began to sweat and blush in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry guys, I didn't think the ship would leave.."
Morris began to cry a little, and Cornelius began to think of a solution. His eyes got wide and he jumped a tiny bit off of the ship.
"We can't be too far from the shore, who don't we just see the captain?"
"They'll kill us. We weren't supposed to be here in the first place."
"We could say that we were doing a favor for the port master."
"It's the best chance we've got. Let's go guys."
Morris wiped his tears away, and followed his two brothers, humming a song he was writing to keep him calm. They went around the ship, getting bad looks from the crew. They found the captain. He was steering the ship, making sure his crew was doing what they needed to. Fenix and Morris stepped back, leaving Cornelius to be the one to talk to the captain. He sighed, and walked up to the captain. He tugged on the captain's cape, and they jumped in fear. He snapped his back to look at the young Kalon, making Cornelius jump back towards his brothers.
"Who are you? What are you doing on my ship?!"
Morris began to cry again, and Cornelius explained everything with a scared tone to his voice.
"Well, why didn't just say so? Of course I'll bring you back, but it will cost you."
The brothers all jumped back a little, and the captain laughed.
"I'm just messing with you! We'll be back shortly."
Fenix got as much courage as he could, and stepped forward towards the captain.
"H-Have you seen a green female k-kalon with an apple marking like this o-one..?"
The captain's eyes grew wide, and he took a moment to speak.
"I'd know that apple marking anywhere. She's she vice captain of the Antecedent. No idea where they're now though. Sorry kid.."
Fenix grew happy that at least one person has seen her before. The ship came back to the port, and the captain warned the brothers not to do this again. They all agreed, and the brothers made their way back home.
