Caspian's Dream
Caspian enters Fonzo's shop and hears his terrible coughing mixed with pain from the confine's of his bed and walks up to him with a cup full of herbal medicine in hope's that it will ease his pain, Fonzo takes delicate sips as Caspian slowly tilts the cup to make sure he drinks every drop.
Caspian then removes the cups from Fonzo's lips as he takes in a breath and says with a whisper like voice"Thank you Caspian,i dont know what i would do with out you."
Caspian then puts down the cup on the mini table next to fonzo's bed before answering"I can say the same thing, had it not been for your kindness and willingness to take me off the street's i probably still be a orphan or dead, i have you to thank for that"
Fonzo then smiles at Caspian warmly while grabbing his hand firmly before his face turns sad as he states something once more "Caspian my boy.... i do not have alot of time without the proper medicine to help rid myself of my sickness, if i die....i want you to sell all my belongings in hope's that it will give you the start you need in life."
Caspian then cups his other hand around Fonzo's hand that is still attached to his other and says with the mixed emotions of confidence and sadness in his voice "I wont let you die! ill find a way to get that medicine you have my word, so dont quit on me yet you hear me?!!"
Fonzo then does a weak chuckle before coughing and dozing off to sleep as he had been up for way longer than his body could withstand, Caspian slowly releases his grip and puts Fonzo's hand back to his side while thinking "Forgive me for what i must do.."
End of Dream
Train to Alabasta's Nanohana
Caspian wakes up as the train had bounced hard enough to interrupt his slumber, Caspian noticed there was a tear in his eye and he quickly wiped it away so that anybody near would not be able to see that he had been tearing up in his sleep from a dream of his past. It had only been but a day since Caspian's failed attempt to steal medicine for the sick Fonzo in a attempt to rid him of his illness, Caspian mentally re accounts the events that unfolded the day before.
Caspian starts to recall going into the shop and hitting the store keeper in the head and took the medicine and made a run for it,but the storekeeper had quickly recovered and chased after him and not watching where he was going Caspian ran straight into a marine with the coat of justice hanging on his back. Caspian quickly trys to apologize and keep on running but upon seeing the store keeper running his way the marine then grabs the back of Caspian's shirt and in but a single moment him and the marine were in a back alley away from the streets as Caspian watch's the store keeper run past them still looking for him.
Caspian then turns to the marine and says, "thank you for helping me out" as he tried to once more get away from him but the marine had anticipated this movement and slammed his hand against the wall while moving forward pinning Caspian in his current spot before speaking. "I didn't help you out in fact what im about to suggest may be a crueler fate then jail time if your not cut out for it but im gonna offer you a deal, Ill let you keep that medicine and in fact ill even pay for it but in return you must join the marine's. of course if you choose to refuse ill have to do my duties and capture you and turn you in to local authorities, what do you say kid?"
Caspian's thoughts are interrupted as the train come's to a screeching stop and a voice coming from the cockpit says, "We are now arrived at Nanohana, if this is your stop please exit to the right in a orderly fashion and enjoy your stay in Alabasta!" upon hearing those words Caspian stands up and reach's for his suitcase filled with nothing but some clothing and a picture of Fonzo before stepping off the train.
Train Exit
Nanohana City
After stepping off the train Caspian was meant with the fearsome weather of Alabasta's heat radiating down on him, Caspian shields his eye's for a moment so he can get use to the bright sun hanging above the sky illuminating every corner of outside. Caspian was thankful that he had not been wearing heavy clothing otherwise he would have been grilled by the sun's rays on the spot, mere seconds later Caspian's eyes had adjusted and he removed his hand to look at the glorious city of Nanohana before starting to walk towards his destination.
While walking Caspian thought he hit a business street because sure enough there were stalls everywhere and numerous people observing and looking over the stalls items to see if they wanted to buy anything, Caspian however felt very lost as he never ventured out of Water 7 before coming here so he swallowed his pride and walked up to a man who was wearing heavy clothing that masked his face and was using a cane just to stand upright before he begun to talk "Excuse me sir im new to this country and im lost but looking for the marine base stationed in this city, Could you perhaps guide me to the right direction?"
The man that Caspian approached slowly looked towards him and begun to look him up and down before doing a wheezy laugh,"Indeed you are lost, you have the looks of someone who just killed someone yet the experience of a baby who just stopped sucking their mothers bosom!"
A sweat drop had formed and started to roll down Caspian's forehead as he thought "This man is actually full of spirit...
Soon after the man had stopped yapping away he then spoke at a much clearer pace "if your looking for the marine base boy its just up this street and take the first right and your see it even further up ahead, and good luck on your test. Your gonna need it buhahhaha!!"
Caspian listened to the man's directions and his comment before saying "Thank you sir! and running off, but in his mind a hint of doubt had formed in Caspian's mind at the mans words.
Following the man's direction's Caspian had walked up the street before taking the first right and he looked forward and their it was, the marine base that would start or possibly end his career as a marine soldier. Caspian then started running towards the base at his full speed and cleared his mind of all thoughts except "I will pass!"
