Stepping outside further I could smell the salty air of the ocean. As I moved onwards I could see that the soil seemed to turn into a sandy beach. My only question was whether or not I was on an island of some kind, or was I on an actual continent, so to speak. A cool and pleasant breeze swept through the air as I continued to look around and see even more exciting things. For one thing there was a cute little fish that had climbed a tree to munch on some fruit. There even seemed to be a village, though while it looked rather small there were probably some nice friendly people there. However right next to the village there appeared to be a pirate ship, does this world actually have pirates?

Looking down towards my slime it seemed to pause at all of the new sites before slowly moving towards the village. [b][color=ForestGreen]"Come on let's go and check it out."[/color][/b] it said as I hesitantly followed after it.

It's not that I didn't want to explore the village or talk to the locals, but rather I was just a bit frightened by the ominous looking ship docked near it. Was there a raid going on in the village? Perhaps the ship's owner was violent or dangerous? Though perhaps it could also be the opposite? Maybe it was used to scare off those seeking to plunder the town? Maybe it was a whole village filled with criminals and convicts? As I thought about this some more I quickly became worried and felt like turning back. Yet at the same time if I really couldn't die, then there'd be no reason to at least go into the village and have a look right? If there was a raid going on maybe I could help in some way? I glanced towards my slime and recalled when he shot those pressurized spurts of goo at that one lady, whatever her name was. El..., Elliot? No that's not right. Whatever the case, it could protect me and others if a fight were to occur. Though, the only question was, just how much power did this slime of mine have? Would it even be enough?

As we approached the village even more I stopped myself and prepared to turn around and head back to the safety of the shrine. "Let's go and head back, I'm not so sure about..."

As I said these words I felt a slimy tentacle wrap around my arm. [b][color=ForestGreen]"You shouldn't worry so much. Come on, let's go explore this place."[/color][/b]

I sighed, realizing my slime was right. What did I really have to fear? I'm immortal now, right? Flashing a weak smile at my slime I softly muttered the words, "A-alright, if you say so."
