*blinks*

Whaatt?

He never mentioned her...

He has elven blood.. our blood is singing to each other... Oh... Liquid.. I left home because of that!.. Ohhh.... What am I going to do?

*sits down in the sand as the Village headman looks at her bemused*

Pull yourself together, Princess. We mustn't let others know of your distress. They must see you as strong. They are frightened of Elves here. The Darklings have caused them so many problems. You must show them how strong and brave you are. You must show them how good and kind you are. They need a leader like you.

*stands and rages to the sky*

LEADER???


I DON'T WANT TO BE A LEADER!!.. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THE GODS THAT!!


*storms off down the beach*

That's right. Run away. As you've been running from everything all your life. Do you think the Gods gave you existance just to waste it. You have a destiny. You are the Princess. You have a destiny to full fill. Do you think you can escape the will of the Gods just like that.
*Gold light strams from his fingers, surrounding her, freezing her.*
Return princess. Take on the role your were born for.

*the body of the captain stirs slightly in its unconcious state in the shallows as an inquisitive monkey runs over it, but something odd about him makes the monkey squeak and run away terrrified. He blinks slowly at the figure of Lilandra approaching, then smiles to himself and closes his eyes as he slows his breathing to nothing*

*She can feel herself being turned and pulled back*


...Liquid .. You know why!! </>


*Struggles against her invisible restraints*

Go then. I must obey you. See the captain in the shallows.

*Chants and weaves a spell to release her restraints*


*Claps her hands and disappears from view*


*She reappears on the other side of the Village*


*She carries on running to the islands edge... ...she looks down*


*gasps*

Jack?..... Oh.. Jack? JACK!!!


*runs into the water*

*the captain stirs a little in the water and tries to push himself up, he starts to cough up some sea water*

*cough*

Ohhh....... Lilandra?

*he looks up half dazed, then passes out again*

Give him this medicine. It will help.
*Hands her a bottle*

*Using all her might.. she begins to pull him from the water*


Jack!!.. Oh darling..please.. forgive me.. Oh.. Jack!!



*sobs as she tries to help him breathe*

One side. I shall recuperate him.
*Kneels lays hands on captain, bringing him back to life.*

*The captain spasms and wakes with a start, his eyes momentarily angry and black, then they fade to their usually colour and he starts to cough up more sea water*

.. Jack....Jack... </>.. *strokes his head*....

Get him some where warm and dry and find him food. The village?

*he pulls himself up and kneels in the water, gasping for air*

I must have been washed over board, where is this place? Nidavellir?

SSsshhh!.. Please don't say that name!


*looks around for a Darkling to appear just by the mere mention of the name*

You are safe, do not concern yourself. The Darklings have been lured away to the other side. There is a mischevious God there called Bob. They have been attracted to him.

Bob?

Oh No... no him!!


*shakes her head......*

Do not distress yourself. All is well. he doesn't know where you are and is lost on the other side of the island.
