He was on to something now, something very intruiging. Captain Alùn did not look away from the thick book he held as he penned something on some partchment on his desk. He could hear the sounds of sparring outside his cabin, but he put it off to be the mercenaries showing off to each other and tried to not let it distract him.

The third, sixth, and ninth word of every other paragraph....of course.... the merchant thought to himself. How did I not notice that before?
knock wrote:Netormat sat and watched the fight proceed the cold was damaged for now getting he whistled slightly and walked over to Alùn"Excuse me." he said trying to get his attention as the rain started to cease and a ray of sunlight hit the deck.

Alùn looked calmly at the beastman who had walked into his cabin. He slid hid book and partchment away into a compartment of his desk, not keen on letting anyone see what he was working on. "Ah, yes," the captain answered, "I don't believe I caught your name yet? What do you need?"

As Asphir watched the proceedings of the friendly spar which had certainly escalated, she rolled her eyes more than once. One of them could have been killed out there, that's for sure, she thought to herself. Looking up into the sky she saw that the sun was beginning to set and night time was upon her and the rest of mercenaries on the ship. Most of the people that were on the deck had already retreated to their quarters as the cool night breeze sifted through the many poles and nets on the ship.

For a moment, Asphir drew her attention onto the ship floor, which was singed slightly wherever Phoenix had stepped. Asphir thought to herself, At least she didn't burn the ship down. She could hear the incessant chatter coming from the sleeping quarters as Nweris was offering Phoenix and Keleth first aid to their burns and scratches, among other things. Asphir looked down to her trusty bow that lay beside her, unused as of yet on the journey. Tomorrow, I'll find something to use for target practice- get to show off my skills a bit.

Underneath her she could feel the soft sway of the ship, heading towards their destination. Starting to feel a little sea sick from concentrating on the swaying of the Good Intent, Asphir stood up and walked over to her sleeping quarters. On the way, she passed Nweris' room, and she could see Keleth and Phoenix inside. Asphir poked her head in and said, "Nice fight, you guys. Just be more careful next time, you could have been seriously hurt." before finishing the walk to her room.

After laying her bow and quiver on a small table in her room, she closed the door and jumped onto her bed. Asphir closed her eyes and sleep almost instantaneously consumed her.

Keleth simply cursed and flinched in pain as Nweris healed him. Her technique to clean up his shoulder wound was particularly interesting, though equally as painful. As she finished everything, and explained the use of the salve she had given him, Tarn stated "Thank you, nurse Nweris, I think I can apply balm to myself, I am almost ambidextrous. Thank you for everything. We got heated, hmm, to say the least, but now at least I know a bit more about the Avian." He nodded to Phoenix, Nweris, and Asphir as she passed and then went to his room.

Once inside, and the door locked, he pulled his gear off, letting the armor and remains of his shirt fall to the ground. He flung his cloak on a coat-hanger, and started applying the balm. It was a cold, greasy paste, but it soothed the burns well. His right arm was in relative pain, mainly stinging from Nweris' treatment, though he was sure it would help. He sipped some of the tea the nurse had given him, letting the warm liquid relax him, though he had tasted better. The assassin finally lay down on his bed, letting the fatigue wash over him, as he delved into a deep slumber, dreamless, as his whole body worked to repair itself from the harm it had suffered.

Nweris merely scoffed at the name. 'Nurse Nweris, honestly,' she thought ruefully. Having to tend to wounds felt like second nature to her. There was no one she had been able to rely on while she was out on her own. It seemed that during this adventure, that would change. She couldn't help but smirk at him as he left. "You are welcome. Sleep well." She noticed Asphir pass on the way to her own room and nodded in recognition. The warrior shut the burner off and produced a small dish of water, placing it on the floor. Jaks jumped down from his perch on the bed and began to drink from it readily.

She turned to Phoneix and nodded. "If that is all you require of me, I should also retire. He may not look like he had done much, but I still feel the effects of Argo's technique. The both of you fought well. I would be intrigued to watch Agro battle with you, though we should probably wait until we have hit land before we see that match. If you would like a sleeping draft, I can produce one for you."

"My name is Netormat and I need to ask you to keep Phoenix away from me I have nothing against her but she has an unaturally high body heat and I have a...problem with heat"He asked Alùn.sitting down and waiting for an answer Netormat began to release blue smoke from his nostrils but stauntched the flow.A little smoke escaped and the room instantly began to cool.

"Well, I'm not sure what you expect me to do about this dillema," pondered the captain, "Throw her in the brig? I think that may be a bit extreme."

He paused a bit, then looked behind him as if he thought someone was listening. He looked back to Netormat. "How far away can you be from here before you begin to feel these effects? Can you not keep a sufficient distance from her?"

Phoenix smiled and shook her head at her, folding her arms and gently moving her wings, "No, I'll be good thank you. Sleep well, and thank you." With that Phoenix nodded once to her and walked out. Rolling her neck Phoenix looked up at the night sky. Smiling lightly Phoenix looked at her wing and tried to open it. Flinching in pain she cursed under her breath and sighed. "Guess I won't be taking a flight right now," she whispered to herself then made her way to her hold for a nights rest. Before she entered she heard her name on the wind. Turning her head she narrowed her enhanced eyes and tried to find where she heard her name. Again she heard the talking, but it was very hard to ear. The crash of the waves made them hard to hear but she picked up words here and there. Brig? How far away? Sufficient distance? What are they talking about? she thought. Curling her lip Phoenix turned and entered her room and locked the door behind her just to make her feel a little better.

"You are welcome. Sleep well," Nweris remarked as Phoenix left her room. She sighed heavily and drained the last of her tea as she shut and locked her door. She tossed a scrap of jerky to Jaks as she began preparing for sleep. She kicked off her boots and set them by the bed. She pulled off her overshirt and pants, prefering to sleep in her bindings. Having folded them and set them on her table, she untied her hair and let it fall about her. She climbed into the bed and blew out the candle she had placed on her nightstand. "Sleep well, Jaks," she remarked with a yawn as she settled herself. She had gone too long without sleep and was almost instantly passed out as the ship rocked her to sleep. Jaks climbed onto the bed and curled up next to Nweris, yawning as he settled down for the night.

Morning has come, even though he was in his chambers Argo knew it. The spiritual presence is totally different in the night time, and in the day. He stud up, slowly, from his meditation and recuperation. His wounds were not as bad as yesterday, but his abdomen was still sore from the blow inflicted bu Nweris. I hope it is not to early to visit Nweris in here chamber. Dam this still hurts, I might have to take here up on that tea. Argo slowly stepped out of his sleeping chambers and headed towards Nwerises chambers. It was really early so he did not expect to see anyone up. When he came up to Nwerises door he knocked twice and sad: Good morning lady Nweris, I hope you are awake. Mind if I come inside for a small conversation?

Nweris awoke at what she assumed to be daybreak. For as long as she could remember, she had risen with the sun. Yawning and stretching out her muscles, she got out of bed and set some tea on the burner. She found a biscuit and pulled another scrap of jerky out of her pouch. She set her breakfast on the table as she went about redressing herself. The Xienian could not even feel any of the strain from the day before. Thank her goddess for her tea, she rinsed out her mug from last night and set it on the table. She had quite the day yesterday and could only hope that today would have just as much excitement.

Her thought was interrupt by a knock on the door and Argo's voice coming though the wood. Jaks stirred from his spot and hopped across the floor sleepily. She bent down and gave him her jerky before going to answer the door. "Good morning to you as well Argo. You may come in and please, there is no need for formality. Simply Nweris is fine." She left the door open as she went about collecting a second mug and setting it by her own before grabbing a second biscuit. "I was just setting down for some breakfast if you care to join me." Jaks yawned again and after devouring the salted meat jumped back onto the bed and went to sleep.

Well I feel better, Phoenix thought to herself as she rolled onto her back and stretched her legs, arms and wing. Opening her eyes Phoenix glanced at her door and saw the orange light coming under her door. "Hm, sunrise," she mumbled then rolled to her feet. Rolling her neck Phoenix stood and tossed on her gloves again and left her boots where they were. Walking onto deck the wood was slightly warmed from the sun. Smiling Phoenix opened her wings, there was no pain at all. "Ha, ha!" she laughed out loud and crouched down to one knee, her wings open and spread up. In the next instant she launched herself into the air and her wings beating to a steady rhythm as she climbed higher and higher.

The first rays of sun slowly peered through Keleth's window, their flaming light awakening the weary assassin. His burns had nearly all healed it seemed, after a thourough inspection with a mirror, but his arm was now sore and still stiff and painful. Tarn looked at his shirt, laying in tatters, ripped and burnt, so instead grabbed a black surcoat he had kept in a small carrying bag. The man still kept a few spare pieces of clothing. He clumsily fitted this on, along with his cuirass and gloves, trousers and boots, along with his belt. Keleth's whole body was still tired from yesterday's sparring match, but it was a lot better thanks to Nweris' medicine and healing. Keleth coul not doubt her use.

He opened the door, stepping into the wooden corridor that was this part of the ship. It was swaying back and forth, more so than the previous day, but was still bearable though. He came out onto deck just as Phoenix pushed her way up into the morning sky, exercising her visibly intact wing. Why didn't I do any damage ? He sighed, the assassin could not win every fight unfortunatly. This was the case here. His lungs breathed in the fresh morning sea air, slight specks of water filling his notrils and face as a wave splashed against the side. He went over there, bending over, watching the hull of the boat cleave its way through the deep blue waters, like a hot knife through butter.

The gentle spray of the sea caressed his rough, unshaven skin, slowly comforting him in a blissful, half-awake state of mind, the gentle ricking of the ship as a lullaby, the sound of the water as its music. The assassin's stomach grumbled, Enough day-dreaming, time to eat ! he thought. He headed back down into the ship, his steps barely making a sound on the floor boards, as the gentle waft of fresh food assaulted his nose's senses. The cook's were already at work, cooking some bacon and setting the table; Keleth grabbed a loaf with he tore through with his teeth, before buttering what was left with a random knife.

A cook, at his request, tossed him a bottle of teakia, very weak, sweet wine, served at breakfast and desert. The fresh liquid warmed him up, sending relief down all his body, and after chomping down a few rashers of bacon and quickly chatting with a cook, he took his leave, heading back up to deck to stare at the horizon.

After hearing the voice of Nweris Agro came in ti here chamber. He bowed slightly and sad if it is your wish I will call you Nweris. He seat on the the floor with his battle staff at his side.

I have a question I wanted to ask you for a while now, is that fox your familiar or simply your companion? He is cute but are you sure it was ok for him to be headed to this adventure? I have some knowledge of the place we are going, and it is not a pretty place. A lot of spirits roam around, there are demons of the old out there, as demigods and gods that still walk the earth there. This will not be easy adventure, and for someone so small and fragile to come, you will have to take extra good care of him. After finishing his words Argo looked at Nwerises reaction, here body language and here voice tone in order to assert the importance of Jack to Nweris.

And as I sad yesterday I think you have a gift, or rather your body has a gift for one of the techniques I was planing to learn so I was curious are you willing to train with me? I would need to teach you a few things first, but I am sure that you are more then qualified to learn it. And that is one and only technique that can defend you against Tenkecu. When ever you are ready we can begin, but let me warn you, the first stage is probably the most dangerous. I would need to open your chakras and you will need to close them with your mind. You will need to learn the basic chakra manipulation and movement. That is not hard but it is essential for this training. After that crating hard muscles is phase two. Unfortunately there is only 6 different exercises in my manuel and I need to know the hardest and most strenuous exercises you use. We must make our muscles like rock in order to make them be able to block enemy chakra with our own chakra that will be stored in them. Argo took a deep breath after finishing his words. That is about all there is is to this technique but do not think that it is easy... Only one clan has mastered this and they are one of the best fighters in the world...And they keep the exercises their most guarded secret.

Argo awaited to hear response from Nweris, hoping that she will be interested in learning this purely defensive technique. Still with perfect defense comes the strongest offense.

Nweris stiffened when Argo brought up the small fox. How could she explain their relationship? No one seemed to understand exactly the extent for which each would go for the other. Their bond transcended that of a familiar and would not be broken. She walked over to the table and sat down, pouring herself some light tea. The rocking of the boat had increased and she made sure to only fill the mug half-way. She broke a piece of the biscuit off and ate it. Sipping at her tea, she gathered her thoughts before addressing Argo. "Would you like some tea? Please help yourself. As to Jaks, our relationship is complicated. He is my partner. As of now, he is still a young pup, but growing daily. Each Xienian has a partner; Jaks came to me in an unusual way. I am sorry, but that is one of my people's greatest secrets and to divuldge too much about it would feel like even more of a betrayal. Simply know that I will care for him with my life, as will he with his own life," she said with such finality that it could not be questioned.

At the thought of a new, strenuous training regime, Nweris' mood lightened. She stood and replaced her cloak onto her person, hesitating at her blades. Thinking better of it, she grabbed them and secured the scimitars to her hips. "I would be more than happy to train with you. I know not anything about chakra opening, but exercise I know very well. Most of my training revolves around a forest setting, but I am sure me can work out the details one the ship. We will begin as soon as we finish here. Also, I must check on Keleth to be sure that his arm has healed properly and that the salve I gave to him has been helpful."

As she sipped at her tea and ate her biscuit, she thought about many things. Finally coming to a decision, she addressed the half-elf again. "You are half-air elemental, yes? I can understand wishing to know your roots and of the power you are capable, but why do you seek them out so aggresively? Surely you can learn of your own limitations on your own." She stopped a moment and looked over to Jaks, seeing him stir himself awake again. Her eyes seemed to sadden as she stared and she mumbled an apology. "I am sorry. That is a very personal question and if you do not wish to answer, then do not feel obligated." She herself, did not wish to talk about the past, knowing how hurtful the memories could be. Jaks seemed to sense her mood and padded over lightly to jump into her lap. She smiled lightly and patted him on the head, rolling her eyes as she watched him search the table for more jerky.

Seeing Nwerises reaction Argo was somewhat surprised... He knew that there was some special bond between them, but for it to be that strong... Hearing the question he sighted, with some melancholy in it and replied well as I sad, I am only curious, so from time to time I ask questions that may be unapropriate so when I do, do not mind them. It is strictly because I am a knowledge seeker. As for my kind, I am not looking for them aggressively. It is just that I have been doing so for a long time, and now I feel that it is finally within my grasp. I am not looking for them for a chance to extend my power, I have enough time for that on my own. Between my elven blood, and the blood of air elements I am able to live a really long time, but I know nearly nothing of my kind. Why was I created, who was my father after saying this he made a short, almost unhearable sigh and my own kin history, customs, culture origin. All this knowledge is out there somewhere, and I intend to learn all there is about my kind.

As for power, I am not fond of it. Power corrupts, it seeks even more power and that seeks destruction. To be honest I am afraid of power, for in my eyes it is a source of evil in this, and all the worlds. But it is a necessary evil, and that is why I always try to find a peaceful solution to every conflict. I only use force or power when I absolutely have no other choice.

I know of some manifestation of my powers as a half air element, and the rest will present itself when the time is right. The universe works on basis of equilibrium so when there is a need I will find a way to unlock my powers, but I hope that day newer comes... Well anyway, in order to unlock the mystery of Iron Palm technique, we will need to follow the logic of this six exercises and deduct the others. There is a total of 17 exercises and they need to follow the flow of one another in order to create a muscle that can store chakra in it and allow the chakra to travel at lightning speed through entire body. We will need to combine our different styles of practice and figure out the right ones. I choose you for this because your muscles are naturally resistant to Tenkecu, so some exercises you are using are clearly a part of iron palm training.

And as for tea, I will have some please. My body is still sore from your blows, they pack incredible strength.


Argo seat there until he finished his tea, and then he went to the deck for breakfast and to see how everyone else spend their night. He was particulare interested in assassin and Phoenix. This will be a interesting thing to observe, have they learned to tolerate one another or has their pride overcome them?

The sound of shoes on invisble tile, pushing aside steel blue smoke with each step, made it's way through a cold grey world. behind those shoes trailed a royal purple cloak. What the silky cloak covered was a tall woman dressed in dark blue to blend in with the rest of her surroundings. Her face was covered by the cloak, so no one or anything could see her green eyes piercing through the crisp air. She approached the shadow of a ship and climbed abroad. Bleow the deck she went with haste, turning swiftly with each corner. She came to a room with much cargo in and stepped without a sound to a corner.

The woman's lifeless hand reached for the hood and pulled it down over her body to reveal a young girl in a white and pink dress with yellow tirm. A smile grew across her Rierjah's face in her accomplishement.

Took less time than I though it would. Stupid old man you have no idea at what we just traded for. With these grasping a small green velet bag I should be able to complete my project.

She opened the dorr to the normal realm and jumped through it. She looked from side to side checking to see if anyone saw her. the portal closed as she quietly walked out of the room.

Sigh... It' been a while since I had a good nights rest. Well it's day, better late than never

The mime searched for an empty room without anyone noticing her. She found on the other end of the ship, she closed the door and took out some long blank pieces of paper. Rierjah stuck them on the door and bagan to write signs on them with a her own blood from her pricked finger.

I really don't care for people to bother me, or even worse go looking through my stuff.

It was only a little while until she fell asleep, holding in her hands a small jade locket.

After only fifteen minuets Phoenix glided back down to the deck and landed with almost no sound aside from her wings moving in the wind. Rolling her neck when she landed she glared at her injured wing and flexed it again. "Maybe he did more damage then I realized," she whispered under her breath then folded her wings in to her back.
Phoenix began to walk toward the Hall for some food, pulling her hair up into a messy bun as she went. Walking towards the kitchen she smiled at the cook and gave a small nod to him, "Smells good chef," she said and quickly got herself a small handful of bacon. Taking a bite out of one piece she walked back up on deck and glanced around the area. Seeing Tarn she walked over and rested on her elbows next to him, also watching the sun. "So, how are you feeling this morning?" she asked with out looking at him.
