Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah about the jewel, Arc grabbed it and is now looking for the other one. Apparently this one is moving so it might take a bit of time." He looked at syori and how she clung to him. He smiled as her and took her onto the ship. "I am going to have her lay down for awhile and collect her thoughts." He brought her to a cabin and laid her on the bed. "There now rest for a bit ok." He smiled again and sat down at the end of the bed.

Syori cringed at the mention of towns and orders. Her eyes snapped for a second. Orders were what killed her mother, orders were what made her dad die, orders made her lose her 'brother'. Orders were a way of controlling people, Syori did not like to be controlled. She turned around "I can never have fun in a town." She said simply as she played with the necklace that lead to Ishtar sword.

Syori felt bad and was about to say something when the door shut. She pulled the covers over her head, "Damn it." she muttered as she held her head in her hands. She screwed up again, she always screwed up. Loda was already in pain and she had to go and be such a brat.

Syori remembered a line her father used to say, "Weapon masters don't have good luck, they make heir own." She muttered as she turned to face Desert. "Ok, a Palace sounds nice, it should be nice and empty too." She said smiling. She started coughing again as she clutched the necklace. After the fit was over she took a quick swig of her medication

Arc had been searching quite a bit but it was getting dark, not the best time to go searching for some things so he decided to head back, as he climbed the ship and entered the was locked captain's cabin of The Blue Pearl which he pick locked with one claw. He picked up the scabbard of Samhain and unsheathed the sword, making sure to hold it with a cloth instead of directly or he would get the curse himself. Placing the opal orb in the correct slot on the hilt he paused to admire it, so far there was the diamond heart, opal crescent, sapphire star and Ruby tear. All that was left was a pearl. "Seems like things are falling into place, in fact I have a feeling eventually Loda will get his curse released no matter what. So I'm just going to- Huh? Nani?" He was interrupted when a note fell from seemingly the ceiling, taking a look at the note it read "Poseidon is watching." A slight shiver ran down the legendary pirate's back for the first time and he tore up the note. "This is bad. Poseidon is not the one causing this I know it. As vague as this letter is and at the time it would seem to be referring to Loda's destiny it would be sent to Loda, not me. Have I upset the god's somehow?"

Syori relaxed a little more as they ran along the roof tops. She felt bad about snapping at Loda. "I think he hates me now." she muttered she hated the thought of Loda thinking ill of her. for some reason Loda had been occupying a lot of her mind lately, Arc was also occupying a little of her mind, but she knew that arc was more of an older brother, while loda, when ever he looked at a girl Syori felt like hurting the girl. These were new emotions to the girl and she did not know what to do with them.

Arc returned to the deck and noticed Syori and Desert in the distance and followed out of curiosity leaving his second in command to make sure both The Blue Pearl and Black Lion were safe. He caught up to the two, hiding in the shadows before appearing behind Syori suddenly and gave her a hug, placing his head on top of hers. "Hello my little bird." He teased before taking her hand and swinging her around like ballroom dancing. He glanced at Des before grinning like the chesire cat.

Loda picked up one of the porcelain dolls, it looked so real and was kind of soft to the touch but a light tap on the arm of the doll gave a porcelain chime. "The quality is so good it's creepy. I'm pretty sure this stuff would be impossible to sell because they're so priceless Pearl." He shuffled through the toys until he saw a porcelain doll that look almost exactly like Syori. A sorrowful frown slowly appeared on Loda's face like the light of the moon disappearing in an eclipse. "Syori." He looked away from the doll and walked over to the window, looking up at the moon, a tear began to roll down his face, then another and another, he didn't sob, didn't wipe away the tears but stood silently and let the tears roll down his face. "Sometimes life can play such cruel tricks." He muttered before turning away from the window and walked over to the balcony, climbing up the railing that kept the cleaner from falling when he had to clean the clock on the clock tower, in the next room. Pearl ran after him and let out a whine, which Loda ignored and jumped but his necklace got caught on the hour hand of the clock face and he began to choke as a certain hissing voice spoke. "You cannot die yet, You shall die when your curse comes and brings you a horrid painful death."
