《Gargoile found the library tower》Chapter 8. Trade

"Kraken!"
"Leave the ship!"
---
I don´t know how I came to this island. I remember our ship being attacked. I see myself in a island. I don´t know this island. In other words I don´t know way back home. There is food in the island but I have family who is waiting for me. I must come back home as soon as possible.
But how?
Even if I build a boat I could be eaten. Boat could fall apart and finally direction could be wrong. No sun can be seen here.
Reason for it is kraken´s awakening. All sailors know kraken lives in these waters. That thing sleeps centuries and awakes to eat a lot.
Kraken´s spells block all light from the sky and no light spells can be used here. Basically no one can enter or exit this place without knowing their way. That spell is told to make everyone go circles. Thanks to this he can eat as long as he wants. Normally all live will be lost but there is great defence in my home island. It was made because of threat against enemies beyond the sea.
At least that is what I used to think. Everyone thought kraken was just a myth. Even if one existed it size must have been over exaggerated. It was even bigger than what was told.
It was told kraken was big enough to grap into mast and keep a hold until ship is turned around.
It was big enough to bind itself around the trade ship multiple times over. I wouldn´t be suprised it could throw a ship into the air in shallow waters. I would have died for sure if we had been in shallow waters.
As I scouted around the island I saw abandoned boats. They must have been leaved alone for a long time. This isn´t enough to return. I don´t think his abilities were exaggerated.

While I was looking place to sleep I saw great tower. I must have missed it because everything was dark. Why haven´t I seen or hear anything about this place? I choosed to enter after knocking.
"Come in." (Gargoile)
"Sorry for disturbing you. Could I spent a night here?" (Sailor)
"Sure. No problem. Stay as long as you want to." (Gargoile)
I saw gargoyle monster in front of me but I have no other choices.
He left me alone. I was grateful for it. I could spent night crying for my sailor friends, family and friends. Afterwards I felt better. I was convinced what I should do next.
Next morning.
"Can you help me to get back to my home?" (Sailor)
"At first. Could you explain your situation?" (Gargoile)
---
"I see. You surely understand I can hardly do anything for you." (Gargoile)
"I read this place rulers. I know this place could connect to my home island. Why aren´t you doing so?" (Sailor)
"I´m going to meet someone again today. It was arranged ahead of time. I can´t change my plans." (Gargoile)
"Do people lifes matter so little to you? Of course. You are monster. Nothing is going to be free to you. Should I pay with my soul? That is just natural to you." (Sailor)
"You sure can keep people around you happy. I´m sure you have never made anyone angry before." (Gargoile)
"I don´t need smart mouthing." (Sailor)
"What did you expect!? No one is forcing me to help you. Sure. There is change I could connect to your home but change is too low. I can only connect to places where I have been before and your home isn´t such place." (Gargoile)
"What should I do then?" (Sailor)
"All I can do for you is teach how to make compass. I understand you made me angry on purpose to gain my help. I understand you were in hopeless situation but next time things won´t go so easily. I hope we can meet again in better time. I can only give you a change. There is still one thing which I want from you in return." (Gargoile)
"And what is that?" (Sailor)
"I need knowledge from your world. Can you help me? Oh, compass is tool for navigation." (Gargoile)

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

First Iteration
What is a soul ? Is it your true self ? Would you be the same if your soul kept traveling from life to life but your memories faded for each new life you had ? Your education would be different each time, your growing environment would be different, your personality might change. So what is the purpose of the soul ? Mortals never got an answer for this question. Finding an exact definition didn’t matter for them, what they knew was that a soul allowed reincarnation. Even if they lost some memories, getting glimpses of their past lives was more than enough. Getting the possibility of a new life, a better life was what they thrived for. This became an even greater truth as progenitors, the first of their cycle, became scarce. As hundreds of new progenitors were born each century, nowadays, no more than a handful of them appeared every 200 hundreds years. As they represent a new cycle, they embody new opportunities: some progenitors have made kingdoms, others have been their doom. So when four of them appeared at the same place, at the same time, how can it not be perceived as a sign ? A sign that things were about to change…
