Chapter 82 : Cursed Because of Me

*Jared*

Life aboard the trading vessel was… confined.

The ship was taking us up a river that went directly into the Light Realm. Eliza and I had been given a room that was normally reserved for the crew. Since they were short-staffed, we'd managed to get passage on the trading ship as crew members.

The manifest has us listed like that, so if anyone boarded or inspected the ship, we'd look like we were supposed to be there.

I stood on the deck of the ship, looking out over the river as we slowly moved against the current.

“First time?" a gruff, masculine voice asked, coming up beside me.

I glanced over at the crew member. I'd seen him around, but he hadn't spoken to me before.

He was wearing a crew uniform, but he was practically bursting out of the sleeves with his thick arm muscles. His hair was shaggy and he had a scruffy beard.

“Excuse me?" I arched an eyebrow.

“To the Light Realm," he clarified. He smirked, a twinkle in his eye. “I can always tell someone that is on their first crossing."

“Well, yeah, it is. I'm sorry, it must be strange for you to have passengers aboard on a regular trade run."

“Ehh… not really. My name is Rex, by the way." He pulled an apple out of his pocket and bit into it. “You and that girl of yours haven't made much of a fuss."

“We like our privacy."

Rex chuckled and nodded. “I'm sorry to intrude, then."

“Oh, no, that's not what I meant." I pressed my palm to my forehead. “I'm Jared. My girlfriend is Eliza."

“Hmm. I haven't seen much of her since the two of you boarded the ship," he said. He finished the apple and tossed the core overboard.

It made a large plop in the still water and the ship slid on, forgetting all about it.

“Can you tell me more about the Realm of Light?" I asked.

Rex rubbed his beard and shrugged. “All realms have some similarities. Though, the Light Realm does seem to have a certain beauty and elegance that other realms lack. Did you know it was created for one of the Moon Goddess's twin children?"

I nodded. “I've heard that story before."

“Well, I can say that the White Queens are… truly magnificent, should you have the chance to see them with your own eyes."

Rex smirked and clapped me on the shoulder.
