Aise stood on the deck of a large ship, he had bartered his way to get on the ship, but now he was wishing he didn't. The ship had nearly thirty people on it, most of them were crew but a few were travelers who bartered their way on like he did. The water was rough and it was raining hard, the entire ship gave off a gloomy feeling.

This storm is going to get worse before it gets better. Aise though to himself

A large wave hit the side of the ship were Aise was standing, soaking him with water. Aise swore under his breath, and returned to the inside of the boat were many people were eating warm food. The inside was oddly charming, there was a long thin table with a few people sitting at it, with candles on top at the end of a table sat a bard who was entertaining by signing. Aise sat down at a table and began to eat.

Sareion was flying about the same time the storm hit. He had to find a place to land or he wouldn’t be able to make it through the storm. He saw a fairly large ship and decided to take his chances. Sareion swooped in and landed to what seemed to be a Flawless entry no one had seen him. Sareion was a bit hungry so he walked inside and grabbed a seat by Mr. Thou. Sareion Yelled "Waitress bring me some food please.. Anything!"

Sareion slapped a few coins down on the table. Forgetting to conceal his wings they were drenched in water and dripping bringing tons of attention to them. The waitress walked up bearing a tuna sandwich "Excuse me sir? But uhh...not to be rude or anything. You don't look familiar may i see your ticket?" Sareion Laughed "ohh...Uhh i left it in my room" right about then the captain and 5 sailors walked in "and that would be?"

Sareion looked and thought for a moment "Uh, Why room 62" The sailors and the captain laughed "We don't have rooms! Seize him boys!" the sailors ran up to take hold of him "Ahh...wait!" the first sailor through a punch but Sareion caught it returning it with a punch in the stomach. Sareion stood up and threw a punch at the second one giving him a square punch between the eyes. Knocking him out cold.

The Third got behind Sareion and grabbed him by the neck strangling him. This was a monster of a man. Bigger then anything Sareion had ever seen or fought before. Sareion put his left hand on his right and rammed his right elbow into the mans ribs a couple of times but it was useless...it was more like hitting a Rock wall. Sareion Gasped for air. "Can't we just solve this like gentlemen" the captain laughed "Nope. What are you idiots standing around for. Teach him a lesson then throw him over board" the sailors replied with "I, I Captain!" Then quickly got up and started punching Sareion in the stomach. Sareion about now was coughing up blood "Someone help!"

Takoda wore a blood red dress with a slit running up the left side, and a low cut neck line. She had come up to dinner alone, as usual, and watched as the sailor's took hold of the man who was absolutely drenched and heard the cry of help. She had been rather bored and stood, walking over to the men with a dark glint in her eyes.

"Let him go!" she yelled. "How dare you handle my husband that way!"

She stormed over and slapped one of the men in the face and watched as they all fell back, leaving the guy lying on the floor. He had put on a fine show.

"I am sorry, dear!" she said, kneeling down beside him.

She lifted his chin with one of her long fingers and brushed a strand of wet hair out of his eyes. She then proceeded to kiss him on the lips.

"Are you ok, darling?" she asked softly, concern showing in her golden brown eyes.

"I do apologise captain. But my husband here enjoys his storms too much, and will one day get himself killed if he is not careful. He has been sitting around in the cabin we are staying in, moping about with sea sickness, but must have gotten over it quickly when he heard the storm." she smiled charmingly up at him.

She then turned to the man who's table the wet male had invaded.

"You remember us, don't you? We were right in front of you when we walked on board." she said with a smile in Aise's direction. "Aise? Is it not?"

She was in her water dragon form when she saw the ship. She decided to give them a scare and jumped over the ship causing masive rocking. Then she jumped on board. "Hello Takoda! Hows it been." Men carring cutless were storming over in her direction. She teleported past them and continued her conversation. "People these days...have absolutly no idea what they're doing."

Aise sat and kept eating as Sareion sat next to him and then we attacked by three solders, on another day Aise would of help, then a woman came in and helped the man, sparing Aise the trouble. Then the woman asked Aise if he had seen them coming in on the boat.

Aise stood up and looked at the woman, he deffentally hadn't seen her before but never the less he said, "Aye, I saw them come on the boat, now please captian leave and let us all eat in peace." A few outher people cheered and the sailors and the captian got up off the ground and left, Aise helped the man up before sitting back down. Just then the boat shook rather hard causing Aise to fall back.

She teleported in front of the man who just fell and picked him up. "Wow your not like all the other pirates I've met." She set him down and teleported back. "Well this is fun."

Aise started as the woman who just helped him up disappeared, then he got up and walked back out onto the deck, a few men were shouting about a dragon so Aise looked around but he couldn't find the woman so he went back down in the hull to get his sword which he had left there and then back up to were he could eat.

She appeared next to her friends. "So what brings you two to the high seas?" She jumped around not knowing why. and then she saw the man who she helped up come back up with a sword. "I knew they were pirates."

Aise saw the woman standing there with a few other people. Aise stared at the woman as his grip tightened around the hilt of the sword, "Who are you? And What are you doing on this boat?"

She laughed. "What you think you can defeat me? What a joke. And as for what I'm here for...I'm just hanging around . Doing whatever half-dragons do." she looked around. "What a nice day."

Takoda looked up to find Chrono had arrived on the ship. She smiled.

"Hi! Just decided it was time for a change of scenery, thats all." she laughed. "How about you?"

Aise seemed to be getting very annoyed with Chrono, but that was none of her business.

"You call this a nice day?" she aked. "I wouldn't disagree too much, I mean it seems to suit everybody's mood at the moment around here."

She pulled the other guy to his feet and grinned.

"How are your sea legs?" she asked with a laugh, once again pretending to be the concerned wife.

{Sareion is speaking in a romantic gentalmen like voice :)}

Sareion was amazed and dazeled as Takoda walked in she was wearing a beautiful red dress, which made her look more beautiful then she already was. she walked up and slapped the man nocking him over and then she said that i was her husband humm why not. She then kissed him on the lips. Sareion liked that part the most but he wasn't going to say anythang. she helped him up and then got the captian off there backs bringing him to the table. Sareion wrapped his hands around her waist huging her and passionitly kissed her on the lips "Thank you honey. If it wasn't for your stunning beauty i would be as bloody as a pulp" sareion then sat down. Sareion watched as Chrono came on to the ship and started to mess with everyone she teleported back and forth. Actually putting on a good show. chrono then came up to them and started talking Takoda relpied with "Hi! Just decided it was time for a change of scenery, thats all." she laughed. "How about you?". Sareion spoke up too "Yea, me and my wife just felt like going on a little cruise." Takoda then spoke some more "You call this a nice day?" she aked. "I wouldn't disagree too much, I mean it seems to suit everybody's mood at the moment around here." Sareion laughed "Its an alright day, didnt plan on getting in a fight though" takoda then asked him "How are your sea legs?" and Sareion replied with "there alright, its just when i see you, you take my breath away and i can hardly speak more less stand." Sareion then whispered in her ear "You know we act like a really good couple. What do you say to actually getting married?"

Kithara went into the insides of the boat where a lot of poeple stayed. She was looking for a place to seat whe she found a couple of people she knew. She was surprised to see them so she went near them.
"Takoda, Sareion, Chrono?" she smiled, "Wow! you guys sure travel a lot..Mind i if seat with you guys?"
As she was seating down, she looked at Aise.
"Pleasure to meet you" she greeted, "Do you mind if I hang around here?"

Takoda would have whacked him one if she hadn't of gotten herself into this. She now how to pretend to be his wife. She turned and touched her nose against his with a smile.

"Storms always bring out the best in you, don't they, my love?" she laughed.

She turned to see Kithara heading over and smiled.

"Kithara! What brings you onto a ship?" she asked.

She lent back slightly to whisper in Sareion's ear.

"Until I see the ring, you won't be getting any kind of answer from me." she chuckled, licking his ear playfully.

She shuddered and remembered. She knew what was going on and she would have rather not been there to see it. Brought up bad memories. "Well I'm definately not staying long the way there acting up. Before you know it they'll be doing despret acts of passion upon the parlor floor" She shuddered again.

Kithara smiled at Takoda.
"The usual..." she said, "travelling around...How about you guys?"

Takoda grinned and winked at Chrono.

"I'm sorry. But we have to keep this up because I told the captain we we're married so he wouldn't chuck Sareion over board." she laughed. "He actually kind of fell onto the boat and was set upon by five angry sailor's."

She smiled at Kithara.

"I felt like a change of scenery where I could sing to new people." she said. "We didn't come on the boat together, I honestly do not know why Sareion is even here."

Kithara stared at her then grinned.
"Oh really?" she exaggirated, "Okay...okay...Mrs...um...Sareion, everyone...Let's enjoy this trip, shall we?"
She winked and smiled at them.

Takoda only smiled.

"Yes, lets enjoy the trip, shall we?" she laughed. "I'm glad we look convincing, if we didn't, well lets just say we'd have a problem on our hands."

She turned to Sareion with a grin.

"We are good, aren't we?" she laughed.

Sareion laughed at all the talking going on "hey, everyone odd seeing yall here." sareion just sat back and listend for awile until the comment came up "We didn't come on the boat together, I honestly do not know why Sareion is even here." (Something like that lol...didn't want to go look lazy me! lol) sareion replied with "Well, I' am a wander. I wander because i lost my pourpose in life" then a sailor started to walk by them Sareion smilled big then said "But then i found my lovely wife here and i found a pourpose in life" Sareion really meant the pourpose in life part but, didn't want anyone to know. Sareion then laughed at kithara's comment sareing she was Mrs. sareion "Ha, its Ms. Zeowolf" (Until i think of a better last name lol!). Kithara made a comment about enjoying the trip and sareion replyed with "Who couldn't enjoy a trip with my lovely wife" sareion smiled
then Takoda said something about looking convenceing and asked if we looked good sareion replyed with "Yea, Like a real couple" then kissed her on the lips. Sareion smiled and whispeard in Takodas ear "i can give you some sort of ring now. I took some rings off my chainmail and forged a mithril ring for you. So will you marry me?"

"...Ok children...break it up... or wait until I can't see it...ewww." This reminded her sooo much of when she was engaged. It made her sick. Dusting off her hands she decided to mess around with the captin some more. "I'll be back." She teleported behind the captin, picked him up and tied him to the mast of the ship. Watching him struggle about she decided to be nice and loosend the rope. "I'll just watch him try to get down." about six men came and tried to grab her. Tried was the key word but every time they got close she just teleported away. When the captin had enough she untied him and let him go. Walking to the front of the ship she was feeling lonely and sung a song. (Read first post in Purpose in the grasslands)

(Yes...i know it's Zeowolf...*^_^* just wanted to mess around...hope it's okay.)

Kithara kept staring at the couple in front of her. she enjoyed watching them... they looked sweet.
"you two..." she said, "Take care of each other okay? take care of Takoda okay, sareion?"
She giggled and ordered a drink.
"Let's celebrate with a drink..." she winked, handing them drinks.

{LOL yea just makeing sure you knew lol..its ok. Can't remeber what i was gonna post lol..}

Sareion laughed then turned smileing at Chrono "one day you'll understand. When you find love. It wont be much different." sareion then watched as she said she would be right back and teleported off to mess with the captian. Kithara watched them she seemed to like watching us. She then spoke saying to take care of Takoda and sareion replyed with "I will, as long as she is around me nothing can harm her. I would gladly lay down my own life to protect her." kithara giggled and said something about celebrateing hading him a drink "Hahah. Ok"

(Compliments on the best post I've ever read of yours Sareion! *lol*)

Takoda laughed and was surprised when she felt Sareion's lips press against her own softly. He whispered in her ear and she turned to face him to see if he was serious or not. She had only been playing around before but it would seem that Sareion had not been. She half smiled in a bemused disbelief.

"You... you can't be serious. I... I... mean... ?" she stammered looking at him.

She turned to Kithara with a confused sort of smile.

"Celebrating?" she asked as she took the offered drink returning her confused gaze on Sareion. "Marry?"

She looked over at Chrono and blushed a light pink. Chrono seemed to be having fun with the captain tied to the post and having sailor's chase her. She didn't know what to say and wasn't sure if he was serious so looked everywhere else but at him. She couldn't handle another loss if she said yes. She was so used to keeping her distance, it was hard to accept the fact that he wanted her.

"Ok kiddies I hate to give you advice but...take it slow...Takoda can I talk to you alone please." that was more of a commandish questionish statment. As she walked over to the front of the ship. "Well what are you waiting for. Hurry up!"

Takoda looked at Chrono questioningly.

"Ok." she said, and stood to follow.

She walked silently over to where Chrono was standing.

"What did you want to talk about?" she asked.

-_- dude chrono post that way i can lol

(sorry I forgot about this one.)

She sighed before she began. "Takoda...not to sound rude in this time of glory, but...are you really... in love with him?" There she said it. The one concern she had for her friend. "I know what your thinking and I'm just asking cause I don't want to see you get hurt for some unknown reason." She walked over to the port side and turned back. "Don't even answer that. Ok?" She looked over the edge as though somthing was going to come up. A fish jumped and that made her stomach growl.

{lol....its alright.}

Takoda smiled at her friend's concern.

"I have not said yes to him. I still have time to find that out." she said and put a hand on Chrono's back. "I'm not sure if I do love him yet. But I do know that without him I am lost and whenever he is not there, I feel like something is missing."

She turned Chrono around and looked her in the eyes.

"Thankyou for your concern, I really appreciate it. You are a true friend." she said and hugged her.

She then looked over at the others.

"Did you want to go back to them?" she asked softly.

Sareion sat at the table patiantly. He watched Takoda and Chrono speak, but all he could do the entire time was smile and think of Takoda. The waitress came up and asked if he wanted a drink "Sir, would you like something els to drink." Sareion didn't hear her so she tapped him on the shoulder "Uh, Sir would you like another?" Sareion was so busy watching Takoda he berly noticed that the waitress had tapped his shoulder. Sareion turned "Oh, sorry yes I would like another drink. Thank you!" Sareion then looked down at the table and thought about it. What would it really be like to marry Takoda. Probally the most wonderful thing ever. Sareion had never been this happy and he didn't wont it to change.
