"You're the star? Amazing!" she said, breathless. How could such a creature become a star, and then so suddenly come back to the planet, to become the guardian of the oceans?
"Well, you made a very pretty star," Nalani said with a grin.

 "Thankyou Nalani." Turns to Coud, "Their are a variety of different stars, the ones you see, are sign stars, stars that all can see. Nalani and Salastri are the only ones capable of seeing my star. As for Geldrei, he is fair, though he can be cruel, I recommend you wave a peaceful flag nice and high once your on the island."

"It is likely that you may encounter his minions first. You will know them as they are those who do not breath. Geldrei is a master of animation and views each of his creations with the pride of a creator. I caution you, it is best to run then to fight these creatures." A small sphere of water emerges from the eye and floats in the air. As it floats to nalani, it flattens into a 2 inch disc. "This will help to identify things that are created by similar methods utilized by Geldrei. They will be outlined with a darkness when one peers through the lens. Take it, child, it is a gift from me."

 *Thinking on what Oceas has told her...* "Well I guess I specifically want to know about the prophecy... Why is this specific part centered around our island? And why did we happen to get that peice of the written text? What is Tempesti protecting or waiting for? And how to I talk to him about the prophecy? Is there any more text about the Pool of Whirls to be found around these islands?"
*rolls knowledge history (maybe planes) to find out what else would be good to ask*
EDIT: Except leslie's computer is retarded and won't let me roll. confused
I'll roll this next time I'm at matts house.

 "Do you have any knowledge of 'The Book of Prophecies' - or it's contents? and Do you know where Geldrei dwells on the island? - so as we're not wandering aroung for days searching for his home... AND What do we owe you for your assistance? or Why are you so interested in helping us? What's in it for you? Respectfully ~"

Nalani took the hovering watery disc, and carefully held it up to her eye, looking through it to see if she could see anything differently while looking through it. Of course, nothing happened, but she knew that it would come in handy later.
"Thank you," she said, nodding. "There is also one other thing that I am concerned about...Since we will be travelling the seas, is there any way that you could grant all of us with the ability to breathe under water? You know, you can never be too careful, and since you are the guardian of the seas, I thought it might be possible. I thought you might have the power to help us...I wouldn't want to drown." She smiled, knowing that if Oceas wanted to protect her, he could certainly do something about this minor dilemma. What if the ship capsized? It couldn't hurt to have the blessing of the ocean guardian upon them..."I understand if that's too much to ask...I just thought maybe..."

He turns to Nalani. "Though it is my job to protect all islanders, my form of protection can only come in the form of calming the seas and bringing in proper schools of fish to help sustain the life by means of the currents. I do not specificly have the power to grant you water breathing as you do not possess that spell, goddess Millia didn't bestow you with it, and lastly I haven't received homage from the islanders since the War of the Dark Goddess. Perhaps a spell caster like Lorea, or even Salastri could help, or even recieving offerings from people in order to restore my lost strength." The eye turns to Coud, "The book isn't even a book so much as a collection of books, each outlining events that have or will occur in a given area. Since the Mischievous god Tanzar was responsible for its dispersion prior to his ascension, most books seemed to have found their way to their respectful areas, but in the true nature of Tanzar, important information was omitted, wether lost or destroyed, and we are now left to figure it all out, or wait for things to occur. As for Geldrei, one with a keen eye should be able to find his hidden paths which I am sure is marked one way or another. Lastly, I help because you are helping my child. Its all to ensure that just as I have helped you on your quest, you will help Nalani in her's, whatever that may be. If you want to repay me, I guess spread knowledge of my existence, encourage others to have faith and to take practice once again, otherwise I will remain in this somewhat less powerful state."

The eye turns to Lorea. "I first offer you the remaining knowledge of our roles. Where I am the ocean, the life-giver, Tempesti is the the storm the aggressor and protector. Where I have a little power all over these islands, he has great power centering around that island, and for a purpose we have forgotten but it seems that I remember that people as powerful as he ussually are posted over important things should there be something important in the area. It's possible he awaits for the right person to appear also. Many things come into play over time, but I imagine we have something to do with the prophecy. If I'm correct, Tempesti would be the best being to go too, though his general level of aggression makes him difficult to approach. He is prideful as well, Tempesti hates the captain as the captain is the only one who defies him and also refers to him as the beast. What really angers him is that the captain is the only person who actually refers to him at at all. See, tempesti is responsible for the weather, and can throw storms and rain out towards the islands, he just can't see how they effect the other islands and so is a blind shot. Quite honestly today possibly may have caused a hurricane, but no big deal, one of my abilities allows me to steer them so the islands won't be affected. You could always try flattery and try to get on his good side if you really want to talk to him.
 "That's crazy talk Oceas, I doubt Tempesti the beast would even give em a chance to talk, he'd stike 'em down."
"If your with them when they approach him peacefully, probably...But if you get them to the island and leave them there for awhile, they'll be fine likely, just so long as they are polite. After all, you brought Geldrei to the island and they're still on peaceful terms. Anything else I can try to help you with? I may correct this if i don't like it, but I gotta go to work

"Well, though the spell cannot be done, you have done more than enough for me. I am so grateful to you for taking care of me. And now, it's time to strike out on my own. Perhaps I can find more followers for you on my journey, and your strength can be returned to you once again. It saddens me to hear that such a strong and important guardian is now overlooked by most of humanity. I will try my best to do well for you Oceas."
She slid the disc into her shorts pocket, patting it, just to be sure. Turning to Coud and Lorea, she had to mention one thing before they headed off. "Let me grab some things to take with me on this journey. I don't have much, so it should only take a couple of minutes." Running back toward her camp, she picked up the few personal belongings she had, and wrapped them in the canvas that she used as a hammock, fashioning a backpack out of it. Then, she took one last look at her campsite, and turned back toward the beach, and toward her future.
"I'm ready when you are."

He turns to Salastri and its obvious that there is some unspoken communication passing between them. Off to the side of the turtle, a series of bubbles starting surfacing as a large oyster surfaces and opens. Setting within the clam is a bag made from kelp.
 The elf walks to the open floating clam and picks up the bag. "Thankyou, Oceas, I shall not let you down." He begins to examine the contents of the bag.
The eye turns to the captain. "Salastri will accompany you in hopes of calming Tempesti for enough time to get these folks to shore. After that you'll probably be on your own so you'll have to cut out of there fast. Salastri will contact you when its time to get them once again."
"Sounds like a great voyage, Oceas. Be beneath me as ussual, K?" He turns to the group, "Alright mates, we ship out in about an hour, hopefully we can keep Tempesti's attention off our ship with the cover of night. Gwei, tell the men we ship out soon and have them put up the dark sails and get Trevisan preped for night spotting." Gwei complies and leaves, returning to the ship.
"Oceas, some of these things ive never used before in a practical situation, will I need all this?"
"Its likely you will. Unlike the necromancer, I doubt these three have any method of displaying their worth by means of extravagant display of power. Its all just precaution. Hope you don't have to use it."
"I understand now, I shall not let you down." He bows to the eye slightly and then turns to the group, "I am ready to go if you'll have me on this journey."
