There was a low groan of breaking wood as the sounds of the unwell sea hit the sides of the boat. Garnet Rose winced he was not yet used to leaving his home. He had been raised on the minute island of Patch and after many years of training had finally been allowed to slip out of his overbearing family and live on his own. The ship did another duck and dip into the water making the ship teeter as it dipped into the sullen swell of the waterway. The boat creaked and moaned as the smell of harsh salty seawater filled the young man's nose. The brutal scent of the harsh sea filled his nostrils making him stir and wake up as-
"It will be done. I am sorry it took so long to contact you, ma'am. I will not fail again." Silver eyes opened to see his roommate a strange young man named Kage bowed before his small alter his roommate had several candles lit and spread out through the area, an odd almost eldritch looking green light emanated from the small corner of the room filling it with a gloomy and damp aura that made his skin crawl as he swore he was being sucked underwater as Garnet narrowed his silver eyes yawning loudly briefly making sure that his weapons were still at his side before he opened his mouth.
"Kage? What are you doing?" Garnet asked as the boy froze his roommate hurriedly put out his candles and stopped the strange seance as the man turned to face him.
"AH! Garnet! You are awake! I didn't hear you stir! How long have you been watching me?" The strange man asked as Garnet sighed and began to wake. Kage was an
odd
man, to say the least. He was about Garnet's height of five foot three maybe an inch or two taller. His skin was almond brown, unlike Garnet's pure snow white. His eyes were an easy brown an odd counter to his pure silver and his hair well... that was the only thing they had in common as both spotted a messy brown mop of hair on top of their head as-
"I just woke up, Kage what the hell were you doing there?"
"AHA! I thought you would ask me that question! And Garnet my good friend let me tell you a story about how the world came to be!" The man said as Garnet felt himself forced to smile, there was something about Kage that he just liked about him. He had this sense of this pure force of
charisma
that could just make you want to like him as he walked over to Garnet and put a supporting arm around him as he sat on his bed.
"I was just doing some inner counseling and guess what just happened!"
"Did you find the fountain of youth like you always wanted?"
"What? No unfortunately not dammit! If I had found that, the rewards she would have given me..." Kage shuddered as Garnet smiled it seemed like Kage had a lover somewhere something making his heart skip a beat.
I wonder if I can find love here? Sure love in the middle of a battlefield at the top of the world is never a good idea but hey who knows? I left home to be a hero like mom and I won't stop until I do!
"SO what is it?"
"AH! My young pale thicc friend! I have decided after careful deliberation to make you my apprentice!" Kage said waving his small arms as Garnet gasped.
"Really!? You want me to be your apprentice?"
"You are the
only
one that I have met in my far and vast travels along the world that I have declared fit for it!" Kage said as Garnet gasped he was quite the timid boy and he was worried that he would have trouble making friends on his journey to the northern town of Targos. But now?
Not only did he have a well-traveled and inspiring roommate he was going to be his apprentice?
"Really!? You want me to?" Garnet asked the robbed figure unlike himself Kage only wore a simple but hearty cloak of robes that fully enveloped his body hiding all of his figures but his arms as he smiled.
"Oh, Garnet there is no one better to do it! And I think that if you play your cards right I just might show you a magic trick or two. If you know what I mean." Kage said winking as-
"You know magic?" Garnet asked in awe he always wanted to learn magic but that had been something that really only his mother could do right. Garnet wanted to be able to cast spells like his mom and sisters but so far he only knew how to cast simple cantrips that while still functional had not served him well in any of the spars that he had done with his sisters.
Although they did not really fight more like they just tried to push my head to their crotches.
"Do I know magic? Garnet I do
not
like to brag but I am what you may call a self-taught expert in the field of magic!"
Blurp!
There was a sudden gargle from the odd necklace on Kage's neck. The massive golden eyes that was clearly some kind of illusion seemed to look up in irritation or as annoyance, as any yellow eye could muster.
"Can you teach me magic? You know when I fought my sisters Ruby and Yang in training I always got my face forced into their crotches. I don't know why they kept doing it but I think that it was comfortable for them you know?"
"No. No, I do not but! I can tell you this! If you stick with me kid I can guarantee you that you are gonna go far! After we finish this little shindig in Targos? After we save these towns we are gonna be a pair of bonafide heroes!"

There was a massive crack! As wood broke apart as the ship hit the docks hard!
"Get moving!"
"Off the boat!"
"We are here!"
"Ok you mercenary bastards! Time to earn your pay! Stop lollygagging and get in there!" Many voices shouted as Garnet jumped off the ship! He landed hard rolling onto one of the many minor docks shivering as the icy sleet on the docks made him roll hard as he found himself tumbling for the freezing frigid waters of the north.
"Oh crap!" The young feminine boy shouted his soft bubbly but doing nothing to stop his impending slide to his icy grave as-
"Watch out!" A voice shouted as a hand gripped him! Kage gripped his back pulling his jeans hard with a tug barley stopping his protegee from hurtling into the depths as-
"Kage! You saved me!"
"Oh now don't get all sappy about it now!" Kage smiled as he picked up the boy whipping some of the freezing ice particles off of him before-
"GAH! Pink skins!"
"I want the small one!"
"I want the pale one!"
"I want them all!" Kage and Garnet looked forward as five goblins stood before them. The small thick feminine goblins hissed at them. All of them had massive overbearing D cup green breasts and massive
barley
hidden swinging bulges swinging between their legs as the two traps looked at the salivating futa short stacks as-
