Shiallia - Where: Piratian Ship - With: Ferondir and Ravoo

Shia winced at the painful landing. She stood up quickly when she saw Ferondir approaching, backing up a few steps. The way she held herself was different than it'd been before, a lot like her posture before she'd met the party. Her hand was near where her knife had been, her eyes were cautiously examining Ferondir, and she looked ready to run. Or maybe fight. She didn't turn away from him, but she didn't look him in the eyes. "I'm fine." Even her voice was different. Not as warm, more professional.

Ferondir stopped. He was shocked by Shia's reaction.
There was a odd look on Shia's face. Was it anger?
She seemed nervous. She reacted as if he were going to attack her.
It must have scared her when he shoved her off the ship.
How best to handle this?
He bit his lip. Nothing he could say was going to earn back her trust.
From her angle, it must look like he had tried to kill her.
Words may not earn back trust, but they can stop enmity dead in it's tracks.
"Hey, I'm sorry about shoving you, I just..." he swallowed. "I just didn't want you to end up on the end of some pirate's sword." He backed away. "If you don't want to be my frie... my guide anymore, it's okay. I think I can remember enough to get on with."
He attempted a weak smile, but his eyes found his shoes. He looked properly ashamed of himself. It was easy, because he was ashamed.
It had been a selfish move to force her out of danger.

- alone

Drimaethor swam down to look for Amethyst. He found the dead pirate and took the sword on the body's belt and strapped it to his own.
+ 1 steel sword
Drimaethor finally found Amethyst and grabbed her wrists to pull her up. But he couldn't feel a pulse. He swam back up to a small pocket of air to catch his breath.
"Amethyst! Hey, hey, hey come on wake up, Sapphire needs to see you! Amethyst wake up!" He put two fingers on her neck and there was no pulse. Holding back tears he took her bag and strapped it to his back. He also grabbed her spear and held it with his left hand
+1 Amethyst stone +2 wood pieces +1 Spear

Drimaethor, with one last goodbye let Amethyst sink back down to the bottom of the deck. He dunked his head under water and let out a defiant yell for several seconds. Then he swam back up to the others with his eyes looking down.

Shia looked at him for a long time. ... He looks like he's telling the truth, and he sounds sincere... But if he's not, then I could die? "I don't know what to think... I want to believe you, but I can't. Not right now." Seeing her friend like this hurt her inside, but she felt like she'd been betrayed. I need some time to think. She tried to look him in the eye, but his gaze was locked on the ground.

Shia's words hurt worse then she meant them too.
He heard fear, and gentleness in them.
He looked up, and met her green eyes for the briefest of seconds. They didn't have the warmth he remembered. They held only uncertainty and fear.
He choked. "I... I still trust you." His eyes flashed to her knife.
She was still worried.
He relaxed, leaving himself in an open, trusting, honest, and defenseless posture. "I'm not your enemy." He cast down his eyes and exposed the back of his neck. "Strike me down now, if you think I'd hurt you intentionally."
He knew she wouldn't hurt him, he just needed to show her that fact. He closed his eyes. "May Nayru guide your blade."

Shia's eyes widened. "I... N-No! I would never do that! You know I wouldn't!" She felt horrible. What if I made a mistake? He said he was trying to help... She jumped to the side, drawing her knife. A sword hit the ground where she'd been. The pirate stared at her, a crazed look in his eyes. "You'll pay fer this. All this! Look wot yer've done ter the ship!" She took advantage of the opportunity to strike. (1 heart of damage dealt, 3 hearts remaining.) The pirate roared on pain, and swung his sword at her.

- Shia, Ravoo, and a pirate
Ferondir's eyes shot open.
Shia had jumped to one side.
In her place, there was a very angry pirate. His left shoulder tensed. His eyes were fixed on Shia. He was going to swing at her.
Ferondir didn't have time to block the blade, but he had the time to take the hit. He leaped in front of her, raising his left arm. The blade sank through the leather and he felt warm blood spread across his arm. The nerves in that arm had been damaged long ago when it was mangled, but it still stung.
- ??? hearts lost
"If you must know, it was one of your own that blew a hole in this ship."
Ferondir pushed the blade back and drew his staff. "This young lady was not involved."

Shia raised her arms and braced herself... But the hit didn't come. Curious, she slowly opened one eye. The other immediately followed. "...Ferondir?" At that moment, she knew he'd been telling the truth. How could I ever of thought he'd been trying to kill me? After everything he's done for me? I must have made him feel really bad... She had no idea what to do. I have to help!

Day -36,493 (Night)/Guzore/20/Where: Piratians' Ship [Floor 2] (Past)/With: Sapphire, Della, Cassie, Jakub, and Drimaethor

Guzore saw Drimaethor walk back up the stairs with pain in his eyes. He could tell that he had clearly seen what had happened. Guzore put his hand on his shoulder.
I'm sorry, Drimaethor. She did it to protect Sapphire.
Guzore knew that he had to tell Sapphire and Della what had happened as well. He walked to the second level with Drimaethor and looked at Sapphire and Della.
Oh... I'm sorry to say this, but... Amethyst didn't make it.
There was a short silence, followed by Zeph's voice.
Okay, we've waited long enough, Cassie.
A thud was heard on the top deck.
...
You two aren't supposed to be here in the first place!
The pirate swung at Ferondir, but missed and hit the ground, causing a loud thud.
Ferondir: 2.5/4 hearts
Pirate Crew Member: 3/4 hearts
Shia: 4/4 hearts

Okay. We've waited long enough, Cassie. Zeph said, annoyed with Ferondir's uncharacteristic tardiness.
THUD! There was a loud noise that momentarily caught Zephs attention- he looked up, as it seemed to come from the top deck. He quickly brushed it off.
Sapphire, Guzore, Della, Jakub, Dimaethor! Come on! We're going home! He shouted, leaning over the railing.
The past is overrated anyways... He huffed, making his way up the stairs.
His head was still throbbing with noise and pressure, but Zeph could deal with that when he got back to his time.
At this moment, a pirate had attempted to run down the wet stairs, sword ready to swing at Cassie- however, It seems that Cassie had anticipated the attack.
As the pirate lazily swung his sword towards Cassie, she whipped her hand up and grabbed his wrist, the moment her hand was secured around his wrist, she flung him to the side, causing him to lose balance and fall over the railing.
ArrrrrRRRRRGHHH! *crash*
Uh... Cassie.. that was...? Zeph said, awestruck at the scene the just played out in front of him.
I'm really just not in the mood, now come ON! Let's go! Cassie said, agitated, without the slightest hint of pride.
Zeph paused for a moment, still in disbelief, before following her up the stairs.
Zeph and Cassie trudged up the old, mold ridden, stairs until they had finally made it to landing on the first floor.
Zeph stepped out, still feeling nauseous- though much improved as time went on.
As Zeph stepped out, another pirate jumped out from behind a wall.
AR! BETCHA DIDN'T EXPECT MAH SNEAK ATTACK!!
Cassie instinctively whipped out her dagger, but before she could lunge at the Pirate Zeph stepped forward.
The pirate arced his sword down, attempting to hit Zeph, however Zeph raised his hand, and made a clenching gesture towards the sword.
The sword was held in the air, mid-swing. The pirate attempted to force it out of Zeph's telekinetic grip, but to no avail.
Zeph swung his hand, and the sword was flung from the pirates hand, and off the ship- accompanied by the sound of a satisfying "Sploosh!" Though, he knew it still wasn't as cool as what Cassie had done.
The pirate then stumbled backwards, and ran back towards the other side of the ship.
Zeph put a hand on his head, as using the spell caused his headache to temporarily swell.
Okay, I'll get started on the spell. Zeph said, pulling out a piece of chalk from his bag.
