Petre felt nauseous and raced up the stairs from his cabin. He barely made it to the edge of the water craft before he lost the liquid in his stomach. Each day he promised himself he would stop drinking, but as the day started, he once again thought about all he had lost and ended up drinking to forget. As he lay on the deck with his bearded cheek getting wet from the sea spray he thought it would be a good time to put the alcohol back in the cupboard.

He had lost a considerable amount of weight as eating did not usually happen before he drunkenly passed out. Where he had thought he was starting to develop a gut, he noticed his midsection was sunken in on itself and felt spongy. As the wind whipped his lanky brown hair into his eyes, he realized he was long overdue for a haircut. He was thankful for the clean smell of the sea breeze as he was certain he smelled terrible himself. Petre could not remember the last time he had bathed.

Leveraging himself up from the deck was a chore in and of itself. The swaying deck did not improve his already precarious balance. He held on to the railing until he was too far away from it and then he hastily grabbed for the water barrel beside the main mast in the middle of the vessel. For a moment he thought he might be sick again and he waited a few seconds until the feeling passed. He took a few deep breaths and continued on his return down the stairs and into the main cabin.

Once he opened the door, the foul odor of the room rushed out to greet him. He had to swallow several times rapidly to keep from vomiting. This was getting ridiculous. It was time to make some serious changes and get back to his life.

Yes, he had lost Jena to Elder Debbon. Somehow the Elder had tricked him into giving up his rights. Petre was sure the Elder had either befuddled his brain or purposely rushed him into signing the betrothal document which was the reason he could no longer see her or even have the right to call her his daughter anymore. He had missed the three-day deadline to visit with her which had enacted an abandonment clause buried within the betrothal contract.

He needed a clear mind to figure out how he could get even with Elder Debbon. It would be a tricky matter since the Elder was a representative of Jehoban. Jehoban was responsible for creating the universe and was not someone to find yourself on the wrong side of. Yes, he would have to be very clever when he finally figured out how to get even with Elder Debbon.
