Welcome to Gaia! ::

Loda heard Syori's shouting but couldn't hear what she was saying, in case it was trouble he began ripping through the forest, his bullet wounds started acting up again. He winced before falling onto the ground. "Ugh! I must get to Syori." Loda coughed as he stood up and began running again, he climbed up the ship slowly and shouted. "Go already! I'll climb up eventually."

Arc nodded and began steering the ship while his crew lifted the anchor. "Syori, come over here for a moment." He spoke in his naturally suede tone.

Arc gathered Syori's hands and lead her to the steering wheel, placing them onto the old wooden wheel before moving off to the side. "You can steer, the navvy won't find us."

Loda felt the bullet in his chest start to move and he winced from the pain. His hands slipped and he began to fall. He knew h=the others had to get away so he didn't make a sound, spinning in the air before diving like a professional, not making too big a splash.

(Don't rescue Loda, or at least don't succeed. I'm planning to have Loda captured alone.)

Arc pointed to Syori and one of his crew grabbed her arms and held her back. "You stay, Loda will be fine." Arc spoke while taking control over the wheel again.

Loda used his strength to swim back to the island since the ship was moving too fast for him to catch up in his state. "Ugh, I'm sorry everyone but I'll be with the Navvy for a bit." He spoke before turning and heading to where the navvy was. "No point in making them wait if it's inevitable. Better caught then starve to death-" Suddenly Loda saw the club antlered creature from before. "Give me the sword, I'll hide it on your ship and protect it for you. The navvy is my enemy too for certain reasons." It spoke and Loda did as told, carefully putting the sword's shoulder strap around the creatures neck before it knelt down and gestured with its head for Loda to get on its back, Loda did as told and he was back on the beach where the navvy ship and The Blue Pearl were resting on the shallow waters. Loda jumped off and the creature jumped up onto The Blue Pearl when it began to sail off. A voice the belonged tot he creature spoke inside Loda's head. "I'm taking your ship to the mangrove maze, you give yourself up to the navvy and they'll forget the ship."

Desert looked at where Loda was and frowned then he looked at Syori. He brought himself down to her level and lifted her chin. "Hey Syori, you have to remember our captain is a tough SOB. So come on now, he can survive for about two weeks with the navy. In that amount of time we will same him in one." He smiled and decided it was time to ask for her help. "Syori, I have to make a call cheer up ok." He stood up then went to the other side of the ship. He took a deep breath before he sat down in a meditated sate. 'It is said that the mind, if focused enough can contact with another's mind.' He sat there chanting in chinese the words. "I choose to reach the plain of enlightenment please help me to reach" He grumbled before saying it. "My fiance."

Ayane suddenly felt a tingling in her head and decided to meditate on this. She was angry enough as it was. Meditating would be good for her she though. She took a seat and started when suddenly Desert's voice appeared in her head. "Hey, Ayane now I know you are mad but can we look past this please?" She grew a temple on her head and gritted her teeth. "You little prock, I am going to hang you by your balls if you don't come back soon." "ehehehehe that sounds fun, now ummm I might be seeing you soon." Her intrest was perked. "Oh, how so?"

One of Arc's crew members was looking through their telescope when he saw The Blue Pearl, but nobody was steering it. He shouted out to Arc in confusion. "Errr, Captain. We have The Blue Pearl in the distance but with no man on board." Arc nodded before waving over another crew member to take his place steering and walked over to Syori. "Seems like your captain's ship is safe. Since you don't want to steer this ship, steer that one." He made a whirling motion with a finger and Swiyll pushed the crew member out of the way and turned the boat around sharply. "Let's secure The Blue Pearl!" The crew shouted and cheered, not really knowing why but to support their captain's choice.

((OK))
