"Where is the storm going to hit next?

Alistair couldn't help but be a little relief, at least he wouldn't die today. He had a crew and a captain who seemed fit enough for the journey at least for now she seemed fit. To be honest the Captain was harder to read than anyone Alistair had ever met. At least the last Captain had some stones on his back, though weighed down by his past there was cracks where he had faced his past and overcome his own demons therefore was worthy of the fountain.

In Alistair's eye the female captain had a whole Boulder on her back, chipped and scorched but nonetheless whole. She didn't want anyone knowing her business, no one getting to know her. Her worthiness would be tested it seemed maybe until the bitter end.

He stood slowly still a little wobbly from being adrift for days. He walked over to the table recollecting his coins . Putting them back into his pouch he attached his sword and pistol. He looked around the deck, he picked up a conshe shell holding onto it he ran his hands over it gently. That would have to do, putting it on the table he walked around the deck picking up bits of driftwood, stones and seaweed, broken shells and a few dead fish, fresh enough...

Putting all of the objects on the table he rubbed his chin, pulling up all the information he had on this form of navigation. Picking up the conshe shell he tipped out the excess water and put in the driftwood, shells and seaweed.

" I need silence for this...it won't work otherwise" he warned to the crew as he began walking over to a lit lantern he lit inside the shell causing a plume of grey smoke to emit from it. As well as a red fire just inside the shell, Alistair's hand covered the shell and he muttered an incantation into the shell as he walked over to the dead fish.

"Haeno fri shasrt foornee ko" he clouded the fish in the smoke from the fire, he squeezed the excess water from his clothing into the shell extinguishing the fire, the smoke turned a thick black. Covering the fish in the same smoke he repeated the verse and waited.

Soon enough one of the larger fish twitched a few times. Flapping off the table it landed on the deck moving toward the front of the ship it head pointed towards North East. Picking up the fish he threw it overboard as well as the conshe. A gust a wind blasting through the ship then stopping.

"North East. The heading is North East" he called turning back to the crew who looked stunned. Soon enough the ship was a hive of activity the ship starting to move under the strong wind of the sea. To be honest Alistair was expecting a barrage of insults or questions from the crew or even the odd insult, he had seen and heard it all.

As soon as the ship was at a comfortable cruising speed Alistair eased his tension a little, moving to the desk where his weapons and coins were he put them back on his person running his hands over the coins as he put them all back into his pouch. The men were wary of him they could tell he supposed it wasn't everyday that they pulled out a man from the sea, who spoke of a journey to find the fountain of youth and brought fish back to life to find a direction heading. Alistair didn't have a compass, he tended to use his own methods, stars the sun, wind. You name it Alistair could get a heading from it.

He positioned himself at the front of the boat watching the sea, soon enough the clouds got darker and a small smile appeared on his face. A deep rumbiling of thunder shook the boat as the waves climbed higher, this would have to do. "Keep North east! Don't stray!" He shouted holding onto a rope there was no way he would get thrown off this time.

The storm wasn't as rough as a few days ago but it was strong nonetheless, as it cleared into sunbreak the island appeared. Strange murky brown sand with pilar like rocks building up to a small square tower. Surrounded by thick green trees.

Smiling Alistair gestured to the island "here we are Captain, our first marker. I'll take you ashore and we will find the next heading" he swung off a rope into the shallower waves swimming a short distant to the island. As he walked he felt a kick to the back of his spine, turning he drew his sword finding no surprise that the captain had her sword drawn.

"I'll be giving the orders Pretty, make no mistake of that" she warned striking his with a three parry blow which Alistair block pushing his sword against hers "you know nothing of what I have seen...what I know can either change your life or end it...for me to judge that you must trust me and in turn I must trust you. I know it's hard for you..." he replied softly striking back.

The pair fought for what must have been a few minutes the pair of them ending on the floor multiple times, small cuts and abrasions on there body as the fight ended they both stood panting swords against each other's throat. Alistair stepped back sheathing his sword and gesturing to the path up ahead. "After you."
