Year 1.
“Huff! Huff! Fuck…how hard is it to build a fucking boat!!”
“You’re getting it! Just-“ Circe touched a piece of the boat and several parts fell off.
“…Fuck me…how the hell do people make fucking planks!! Ah shit I need nails!! Why didn't I think of nails!!! Why am I fucking dumb!!! I can make magic tools but not a fucking boat!”
“Maybe your spending too much out in the sun…also I just notice but has your voice gotten deeper?”
“It’s call puberty, and everyone goes through it alright!” He then begins to work on the boat and whispers to himself. “That fucking god she is not my type.”
Year 2.
“So the boat is built with wooden nails and dam good planks but now…I don’t know where to sail? Nor do I have a sail…shit.”
“Why not test the ship? I doubt the 1st boat you made would be any good.”
“..Okay.” he pushed the boat out into the sea.
It drifts out before getting ripped to shreds sinking down.
“…Yeah that was gonna happen.” Cirrus said sighing.
“Also it wasn’t even close to the barrier.”
“….If only we have metal.”
“Metal? Wouldn’t that weigh the boat down?”
“…” Cirrus turned and looked at her. “Please for the love all that is holy tell you have a source of metal.”
“…Yes but don’t get angry at me! they didn’t even use metal for stuff like that! just weapons, armor, and farming tools!”
“…God dammit.”
Year 3.
Bang!!
Bang!!
Bang!!
“Finally!! Some ore! But what ore is it?” Cirrus goes and takes it outside where Circe was making some potions. “Say do you know what these are?”
Circe didn’t even take a glance at them.
“Do you think I would know? Sure I’ve been on the island for a long time, but I picked herbs and the like. Didn’t you say you were a blacksmith?”
“Uhh more of a learning apprentice, if anything I’m more of an inventor more than anything…ah fuck my boots!!”
“Your boots?”
“Yeah I made them so I can run on the water by creating a frozen plate of ice to kick off from! Ah shit its gone!! Lost to the sea~!” he said dramatically.
“…You have started to lose some sanity in this mine huh?”
“Probably yeah.”
Year 4.
“Haaaaa…several months of hard work to make an electrically powered paddleboat…several failed smithing methods its ready to sail!!”
“And I made a bunch of food for the long voyages!” Circe said with a smile.
“Now that it’s done um… do you want to come with me?”
“…I thought it would be obviously a yes? You are my contractor plus I wanna see the outside world!”
“Well then you got all your stuff?”
“Nope! I don’t want to slow the boat plus the most valuable thing I have is my knowledge.”
“Then lets that fresh sea breeze!”
Before they set off they rechecked the boat and for his last stop Cirrus head back inside the cave and picks up Brilliant Nightmare.
With a deep sigh he cleans off the dust.
“Were going home old friend…they going to fuck me up.”
He clicks it into a one-handed sword and walked outside to see Circe waiting on the ship which was on the beach.
Walking down to the beach Cirrus puts everything into the back of the ship and Circe asks.
“So how are you going to push the ship out to sea? It’s rather big.”
“Like this.”
Cirrus jumps down and goes to the back of the ship.
“Come Hecton!!”
Several black and red arms grow from Cirrus’s shadow and along with him he lifts up the ship.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
“Whoa!! You could do that!?”
“Yeah! Of course it’s really hard to do detailed work so I don’t really use it much.”
After walking a fair bit into the sea the ship began to float.
He jumps on and walks to the front of the ship.
“Now to break the barrier!”
“Not to boast or anything but my barriers are very strong! Nothing can get pass them!”

“…You know nothing is perfect right?”
“Hm? How so?”
“Well in life if something is perfect or unbreakable you obviously haven’t found-“ Cirrus magic circle appeared before him as he holds out his hand. “Its flaws!! (Sing your Vespers, Swords of Damocles) [Dia Dikastí̱s]!!!”
3 swords of thunder emerged from the magic circle and fire off sending a boom crackling through the sea and striking the barrier.
“See told you it’s!-!!”
“Wait for it.”
“What are you-!?”
The swords push forward more and more, the barrier started to make cracks all along the surrounding hit area until eventually.
CRACK!!!!
The barrier breaks.
“Whoa!”
And the wind returns to the island.
Cirrus walks to the back room of the ship and sits on a chair with two metal rods next to him.
“Circe!! Make sure to tell me what’s happening!!”
“Alright!”
Circe goes up and stands at the top railing.
“Now time to get moving! (Sword of Damocles)!!! (Damocles)!!”
He holds his hands out with his magic circle at each hand as electricity goes through and pushes the paddles.
The paddles at the side with metal lining began to move and push the water faster and faster.
“ Big whirlpool ahead!! Turn to starboard!”
“(Damocles)!!”
Turning the paddles to the right they continue to push forward and out to the open sea pushing through the vicious pools of swirling water.
After 2 days of sailing Cirrus was gazing out to the open sea with some food.
Nom!
Nom!
‘…How long will I be at sea…I should have asked for seafaring lessons from Poseidon.’
“Would also be easy if Nox would fly me…how will I even say to here? Would I just say, “It’s been a while.”?”
‘Cirrus?’
“…N-Nox!? You can hear me!”
‘….’
“Shit! Shit um I’m out at sea! Can you find me!”
‘I’m on my way!!’
Cirrus could help but feel happiness, he quickly went and woke up Circe.
“Hey! Circe! I managed to contact Nox!”
“Hm…hm? what you what?”
“I managed to contact Nox! She should find us eventually!”
“Are you sure you’re not…hallucinating?”
“I’m sure as hell Circe! maybe it was your barrier that blocked the signal? I mean you never had a contractor on your island right?”
“No but…” her eyes widen. “I never did!! Oh my Hecate!! Were finally going to go to the mainland!!”
After a while waiting at the ship’s bow Cirrus spots a familiar white owl.
“Heeey!!!” he waved.
Nox then dove down, and she transformed back diving into his arms with tears running down her face.
“CIRRUS!! CIRRUS!! I-I MISSED YOU!!!”
Cirrus warmly hugged Nox as she cried into his shoulder.
“Words…cannot tell how much I missed you and the guilt I had for leaving you for so long…”
“Cirrus! Cirrus! I never stopped looking! And your voice! You are becoming a man!”
Cirrus caught something at the corner of his eye, a sail a bits off in the water.
“Did you bring a ship?”
Cirrus walked up to find a white-haired Renard all grown jumping towards him.
“Cirrus!!”
