During her moments alone, Shana felt something very dark moving along the ship. It was hard to pin point what it was, or where it was, but it didn't feel very friendly. Taking her staff, she begins to explore the middle and lower sections of the ship, looking for this darkness that she felt.

 

"Come on out Dark Spirit. Are you lost? An abandoned soul? A sentient Shade? A wondering phantom? I won't hurt you." She formed a blade on the tip of her Staff out of magic and held it like a Halberd. "Depending on your intentions."

The scepter shook a bit, then headed for her leg, warping around it like a sort of tube sock. I smiled, "That's a good start, I see you're a bit tired, dark magic is strenuous on the mind, you must be careful not to push yourself too far or your mind will break from the stress. We'll stop here to let you rest your mind. behind you is a lever that will disconnect you from this mental link. we can do this again once you've regained your strength."

Midnight didn't exactly know where to go with the conversation now, "So, nice weather we've been having, I thought it would be a bit more dark and cloudy around Dark Elf territory."

@@Yoshikupo,

Wow, it's like they expected me to leave them. Slend emerged from the wall in front of the kids, and pointed to the correct door.

 

@@Child Of Darkness,

He felt Shana creeping about looking for him, he questioned whether it was a good idea to leave the wall. But such was his fate, after he was sure the kids had seen him pointing out the correct room he drifted off to find her. He emerged from the wall in front of her utilizing the same small kid form he used with the other kids, it seemed non-threatening enough to dissuade violence and left enough mass in the floor to quickly escape should things go violent. "Are you looking for me? I thought maybe, but I am none of those things, I am a scepter, a shadow scepter to be precise, shades are an entirely different sort."

 

Furthermore...

@@Jellal Fernandes,  

The scepter was confused, first as to what tea was, second as to what one does with it. It knew that its king would have known before the king was killed. He floated pondering how to convey confusion to the human. other scepters were currently figuring out how to replicate speech to facilitate communication. It would be needed if the swarm was to be coalesced again. The scepter tilted sideways in an attempt to replicate a head tilt.

I thought he would leave...well follow the shadow I guess, Tony thought going throw the door he pointed too to see Amy and The Black Night together "there you are, we were worried sick" he said first, hugging her "yes now what is the plan for us? will we just wait on the ship as stowaways or will we reveal our self's?"

 

"see its nothing like that" she had a little more hope that it was like that "are you kidding me, that way she answered-" Banner gave him a death stare "ok, do you want to know the time me and Banner went to Manehatten?" "oh that has a bit of a vigilantly me in it" she smiled

 

"well I have no idea about that either unless you count being a Dryad...being with out my fathers power sucks" she paused "I asked because I have no idea what I could do and wish someone could give me even a little idea" a tear came to her eye "I don't have any and I have no mother of father after this" she sighed

"Ah, you all are young. Tea is a beverage, but it's also an art, a ritual. That's what the kind family who gave me this tea set told me, at least. The Eastern Isles are a strange place, full of very different creatures than this part of the world," the man said, putting the leaves in the pot and adding water, setting it on the stove. "Oh, the teas over there were so much different than the teas here... Fond memories... Oh, where are my manners. Ser Allendune, at your service," he said with a bow. "Can you say that? Ah-Lend-Yoon."

"Impressive disguise. Making yourself look human. I don't like that. I'm not fond of having a Shadow Spector following us, particularly after what happened at that town. Though I guess that wasn't your fault. Creatures like you are usually passive. And you have enough intelligence to communicate and hide. So who exactly are you, and why is it you are following us?" The blade on her staff dissipated and she brought it back close to her, also standing in a non threatening manner.

[Acnologia 167]

Kyubi nodded slightly and smiled, remembering when she first said those same words to him. "Thank you." She said, before giving him a quick hug. The dark elf then moved back and blushed slightly. She then noticed the bandages and was slightly curious. "What happened to your arm?"

[Drago Ryder 641]

Blitz glanced at the bandages and shrigged. "To be honest, I don't really know." He said. "I didn't really notice them until today." The Neko was curious as to what would need to be covered on his arm, but figured it would be best to uncover it in private. He then put his armor back on, not really sure where this conversation would go now.

Gale nodded slightly as she looked at the clear skies. "Yeah. It's actusly quite nice." She said, smiling slightly, before nuzzling Midnight. Of course, she did have a slight blush from what Apollo said, though.

Clayton nodded slightly. "You'll be fine. To be quite honest, there's nothing really special about humans. Sure we have magic and whatnot, but that's nothing out of the ordinary unless you have a strong type of magic."

 

Rachel raised an eyebrow and gave a light smile. "What happened in Manehatten?" She asked, somewhat curious.

I rose to find that there were many more kids in the room than I started with. I recognized them as the rest of the group that was supposed to stay behind. "I'd say you are pretty revealed already. The question is, what do I do about all of you?"

 

Meanwhile...

@@Drago Ryder,

Midnight returned the nuzzle, with interest. He laid down completely on the deck. "We better get some rest, who knows when we'll get to sleep again." He laid his head on his bag and sighed. "I am getting far too old for this. If my mane weren't naturally white I'm sure I'd have some grey hairs by now."

 

Meanwhile...

@@Child Of Darkness, 

Slend honestly prefered the kids at this point. Adults of most species it seemed were not too accepting of differences and more prone to be species-ist. He drew himself up to his full slender frame. His head reaching the ceiling. "I look about as human as you do Shana, Bipedalism is a trait shared by many species." He drifts a bit closer to her, only about a few inches or so. "So, you don't like that I, a passive creature, have been following you, yet you openly accept an unknown creature that has followed you since the tower? Clearly you are as unbiased as they come. As to who I am, you may call me Slend if you so desire. As to why I am here, my king commanded it. How about you? Why are you here Shana? And why do you trust Rachel over Me?" Slend folded his arms, as a silhouette it would be hard to tell they were folded had they not been seen moving.

The scepter grew a third tendril with the rediscovery of speech. This third tendril would vibrate at varying frequencies whenever it spoke. "Ah... lend... une..." It tilted sideways for a bit before continuing. "No... speak... good. Much lost with Great death. Much smart gone." It turned to face the pot. "No able drink." The scepter drifted over the pot, catching bits of the steam with a tendril as it began to grow very slowly. "Heat good." It turned towards Alendune, "Can learn you smart?" It extended a tendril with a small ball of darkness in it, easily recognizable as a mental link. 

[Acnologia 167]

Kyubi nodded and sighed. A lot was going through her head and she needed time to think. "I guess I'll see you later, then." She said, before heading out of the area. The dark elf then noticed Edward talking to someone. "Somehow I knew those kids would find a way on board."

@@Illiad Easle, Shana giggled a little at the Shades comments and let a rather devious and cruel smile form across her face. "Well then Slend, who said I trusted her? I have no clue who she is or what her true intentions are. I'm guessing she has some motivation beyond what she is telling us. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't really trust a Humans word. And why am I here? Lets say I'm here to make sure this group actually does what we set out to do. I still have a lot to do before I let this world die. I don't know why your king is asking you to follow us, nor do I really care. Follow us around all you want. But if for a second I see you as a threat, I've killed enough over the years to know how to easily put you down. Shades may be passive, but smart ones are more trouble than they are worth." She turned around and walked away from the Shade. "You can go back to doing what ever is was you were doing."

Blitz sighed as he was once again left alone with his thoughts. There were so many things about himself that even he couldn't explain. It irritated him to no end. He then set his swords on the table and placed his hands on the glowing blades.

To be quite honest, Ratchel was a bit impressed. "I wish I could've been there to watch." She said, trying to imagine what the scene looked like.

Well, she jumps positions quickly, going from aggressive to passive to friendly so quick. I'm sure I could learn a bit more by following her a bit.

Slend decided to drift after Shana, his arms back to hanging out at his sides. "I could say the same about many creatures, a smart one is a dangerous one when provoked. I heard of a scepter who ended slavery throughout an entire nation because it was disgusted that such a practice could be accepted. I also heard that a scepter managed to prevent a war by sacrificing itself. Another one set up a court system that united many world nations for a time. But of course, a smart scepter is much more trouble than it's worth."

"So do a few rights make up for all the trouble and wrong caused in the past? If we go by that logic, I'm a good as a Saint. Creatures cause more problems than they solve. A few good apples don't redeem the rotten bunch. Why are you following following me anyway? Don't you have something you need to be do-" Shana stopped mid sentence as she hear noises not far away. Many feet, too small to be one of her party. She cast a clairvoyance spell to look around the ship with an unobstructed view. She noticed the group of children from earlier. "*tsk* What are they doing here? This is not place for young children." She made her way outside of the room the children were in and stood in the doorway. Tapping her nails on the wooden frame.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Blitz's ears twitched as he heard what Shana said, and tried to tune it out. He didn't know what she was talking about, but it made him feel weird, as if she had just punched him in the gut. The Neko then looked at his swords and shook his head before putting them in their respective sheathe. He then walked onto the balcony located at the back of the ship and looked out into the horizon in silence.

Gale giggled slightly and gently tapped Midnight on the chest with the side of her tail fin. "Never ask a female of any species about her age, Midnight." She said playfully. "Either way, Apollo and I were hatched a little under two hundred years ago, and we were raised by the human I mentioned earlier for most of that time, until about... thirteen years ago."

Ratchel nodded slightly and smiled, enjoying Banner and Chain's stories. "I guess it's good that you two know each other, then." She said. "Otherwise, you two would probably drove each other insane."

 

Clayton had a bit of a blush as well and tried not to think of what the dryad said like that. "Yeah, I figured as much." He said, laughing nervously. "Anyway, I have no doubt that you'll be just fine as a human." The man then smiled slightly as he let go of the wheel for a second and turned to face the dryad. "You're certainly one of the most unique people I've met in my life, and that is a good thing."

Kyubi shrugged slightly as she walked out of the shadows. "To be honest, it would probably be best if they stayed with us for now. At least we could ensure their safety, then." She said. "Besides, they would probably find someway to stick with us."

 

It didn't take long for Apollo to find enough fish to sate his hunger, and he also had enough for what he planned for Gale. "This'll teach them not to call me a softie." He thought as he swam behind the ship.

Personally I think the kids shouldn't follow us too much further, there is a very real chance than most of us will not be coming back from this quest.

And do you even know what dark magic can do to a child's health? It's a dangerous magic. Unless they know how to control magic and keep their emotions in check, they'll drown in a single emotion, becoming mindless monsters. I've seen it happen many time.
