Boat

Marvina looked over the sides to see there was indeed a maelstrom, and a large one at that. Her first instinct was to panic. She felt as though she were stuck in place and her heart was beating so loud and fast. MJ felt as though her head was throbbing to the same beat. Breathe, MJ attempted to calm herself there's has to be something I can do to help. MJ looked around but couldn't think of a thing to do. Maybe if we could lose some weight. But could we even do it fast enough, and would it even work. People on the ship would have to help. Marvina thought about asking her spirit guide for guidance, but there wasn't any time. She rushed around the ship trying to get as many people to help with her plan as possible. To her surprise, people actually listened to her, a small female gypsy. Most of the time people brushed off what she had to say, but in this situation they didn't have much of a choice. Soon about half the ship was helping her throw heavy, but non-essensial things over board. Then, she looked up and noticed Nevas. Help him. She heard the voice in her head almost like a faint whisper. Most would assume it was their conscious, but she knew better. It was her sprit guide. "It's about time you show up," MJ grumbled under her breath." Then her mind mpved back to the situation at hand. With what? Marvina asked in her mind. Then she noticed ores that were now at the sides of the ship and realized he was the one controlling it. How am I supposed to help. I don't have any magic. Not really. Nothing that powerful. Then a thought seemed to come on her instantly Energy. MJ groaned. Although it had been taught to her, she wasn't very good at transferring energy. The only thing she had truly mastered during her time of learning Reiki was Aura cleansing and healing, but at this point she didn't have time to argue. Marvina ran over to Nevas and placed a hand on his back between his shoulder blades. She closed her eyes and focused on a white light entering through his crown chakra and spreading thoughout his body to the other chakras. MJ opened her eyes and could almost see a light coming down and resting upon Nevas' head. Is it working? Is it actually working? At this moment the light seemed stronger than any other point in life. Perhaps it was because of the life or death situation.

Sweat was dripping down the Druids face, he was spending a lot of his mana to keep the ores going and even more to keep them fixed, 'This ain't good, I-I can't keep this up much longer.' he consciousness was slowly fading, the edges of his vision where beginning to turn black, he could feel his control over the ores start to slip. Then, right before he lost control entirely, he felt a hand on his back before energy rushed through his system forcing him back awake.

He turned his head slightly and, to his surprise, saw MJ right behind him, "Lass, I don't know what ya're doin' or how ya're doin' it, but I owe ya one!" he shouted back to her, raising his voice above the swirling pit of death. With more energy Nevas forced the ores into bigger versions of themselves, before having the new ores stroke hard against the currents. It felt like hours, but in ten minutes time, they finally made it out of the maelstrom and were able to continue on their way.

After turning the ore back into the ship, the nature mage fell to his knees panting hard, "Let's....agree....to never....do that....again." he said between his breaths as he laid himself down to face the sky, "I have....never....used....that much....mana before." he could feel his reserves were low, not empty thankfully, but he wouldn't be able to cast any spells for a few weeks until they were brought back up, "Thanks lass...ya a life...saver." and with that he passed out, still alive, but just sleeping.

Marina smiled and sat next to where Nevas laid. "It's not me you should think," MJ said. Marvina looked over and saw Nevas was now sleeping. Although some of the energy came from her most of it came from her spirit guide who most likely got it from Rei or higher power. Thank you MJ told her spirit guide, but didn't recieve a response. Marvina sighed and shook her head. MJ and her spirit guide had a strange relationship. One of the first things you do when you start learning Reiki is meet your spirit guide. Normally, it'll be a figure you are familar with like Jesus or Buddha or maybe even an archangel. Sometimes people meet spirit guides they don't know, especially if they aren't a part of a particular religion. However, the spirit guides still normally give a name when they meet face to face. MJ's didn't give a name when she met hers and still hasn't, which irritates her to the core. On top of this instead of appearing to her in a more physical form it appeared as a lilac cloud who had a similar figure to a human, two arms, two legs, a head, but no face or recognizable features. How am I supposed to call when I need you? She recalled asking upon meeting it when it refused to give a name. It simply placed a hand on her shoulder and then disappeared. She didn't even know whether it was a guy or a girl. Most of the time, Marvina can't see it at all. She only hears her spirit guide as a voice and occasionally when it's around she can smell a faint scent of lavender. MJ watched as other passengers on the boat cheered and celebrated escaping the maelstrom. All of them happy to still be alive. Marvina realized that where she sat and Nevas lay was in the middle of the deck where they might be in the way of people walking. MJ pulled Nevas to the side of the deck and sat down next to him where they were now out of the way. Marvina looked into the sky an slowly drifted off to sleep.

'Sing for the lost, for eternal affairs, sing to raise our spirits in great despair, through the ashes of oblivion~. Quick and unseen like the dragon's offspring, for we owe no debts and bow to no king~. Every war has its costs and we've paid, won by the bond of the party we've made~.' a new song play through the Druids head as he slept, it was catchy, more up beat than the last one. Like the last one however, it was only a snip-it of what was most likely a whole song. The Druid slept through the celebration, and into the next day.

Nevas awoke to the feeling of his shoulder being shook. Releasing a groan the mage rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before seeing who woke him. Needless to say he shouldn't be that surprised to see his new gypsy friend was the one to wake him, "What~?" his tired voice drawled out the question before he was told that they were about to make land fall, "Eh? I must have been drained more than I thought. Thanks for wakin' me lass." his back gave a multitude of cracks as he stretched, "I have to say, we made a good team yesterday. Be a shame if we just parted ways after that. So what say you, want to travel together?"

Marvina woke up with a feeling of fear and dread so strong she felt as though she needed to scream, but it seemed to be stuck in her throat and wouldn't come out. Thank goodness she couldn't for when she came to her senses she looked around and she was on the boat. You're okay. You're fine, she told herself. This is what happened when she went to sleep without taking her medicine. The worst part was she couldn't even have her dream interpreted because she couldn't remember what she dreamt about. Her heart was still beating fast. She took deep breaths trying to slow her heart beat to normal. She wiped sweat away from her brow that had formed. After calming herself down, she heard the announcement that they were about to be at land. MJ nudged nevas awake. "Hey, we're about to make land." She informed the druid. Marvina listened to Nevas' invitation. "Really?!?" MJ exclaimed, "I- I mean yes. Of course. I'd really like that." Marvina smiled ear to ear.

A grin spread across Nevas' face, "Great! Then once we get off duh boat, we can see what Vobrala has in store for us." he said before making his way below deck to retrieve the items he brought. After searching through the pile of belongings, the young man grabbed what he was looking for, a brown bag an a wooden staff. The bag held all of his essentials, extra clothes, flint and steel, etc. The staff on the other hand looked like he pulled a branch off of a tree as it was crooked and bent in some places. The wood looked to be made of oak, with stylized swirls carved from the top to bottom. Heading back top side he noticed that MJ was already set and just waiting on him, "After you."
