I don’t know how long we just sat there, before Marissa broke the silence. Temür was getting itchy due to the alleged ash storm. Harkon finally admits to there probably not being any ash storm, at which point Dyvim decides to go outside again. Before long I join him. I spot something moving near the shoreline. (“What did you see?”, Bo asks. “It was dark, so I didn’t get a very good look, to be honest.”, Leesa says dismissively.) What ever it was, it was moving in parallel to the us. The two guard ships had gotten a bit away from us now, as no one was steering, due to the Ash storm remark. The boat behind us was moving dangerously close to the shoreline. We tried to shout to them, but nothing was heard. The ship in front of us, how ever, had already started moving back to position. I went to fetch Renzo. He said that they had an item for just this sort of situation. He went to fetch it, though… (“Though?”, a confused Ralph looked around him, expecting to be hit over the head. “Though… It was in one of the boxes on deck… That Harkon had… Made a fort out of.”, Leesa replied, having put a hand to stop Linda from hitting Ralph, who might even get a concussion before long.) Me and Dyvim helped Renzo search the boxes for the horn. After a bit, Renzo went to fetch the light from the common room. Before long Dyvim found the horn. Renzo grabbed it, and shouted through it for the other ship. His voice became thundering and deep going through the horn. He waved the lamp, in other for them to see us through the dark. We wouldn’t know if it had worked before morning. I went back inside after a while, due to the biting cold. Marissa helped me warm up, and before long I started dozing of a bit. When Dyvim returned.
I was woken up when lord Fang came to order people that they could sleep, except for me, who was to go with her. She wanted to talk to me about his dead man. I was barely awake at the time, actually. She told me the crew was calling for my blood. She told me that the guilt I was feeling might be enough punishment for now, seeing as we’re in a shadow land, so whipping and other types of physical punishment was out of the question. Me, in my self destructive ways, said that I should be punished, however. And thus, I was put in the slave box. (“Slave box?”, Ralph looked as confused as ever. “Yeah, where they put the slaves, if they are bad.”, Linda nodded wisely. “Right you are.”, Leesa replied and shook her head.). There was a bit of water in the slave box, in the bottom. However, I couldn’t tell you if it was leaking. Since I had not slept, my conscience was slipping away, and I fell asleep. A trouble sleep, as you may imagine.
I woke up sometime later. The water level had risen a little bit. However, it was not long before the water level was rising, rapidly! (The soldiers gasped. “Y-You where drowning?”, asked a wide-eyed Linda. “About to start, I suppose.”, Leesa nodded. "The water level was rising, and it was nearing the top of the slave box at an alarming pace.) I started banging on the box, for them to let me out, no one answered. The water was creeping closer to my face. And as I thought I was taking my last breaths of this life… (<leesa> “Y-yeah..?”, a terrified Bo piped up. Leesa nodded.) The next I knew, I was had woken up, and the water was back down to the bottom. I had dreamt up the water rising.(The soldiers sighed in relief.) And to my surprise, there was a girl lying on top of me. Sunflower spoke to me. I wondered how she got in, however she didn’t seem to want to reveal it. Dyvim came to speak to me, I tried to conceal that Sunflower was in there, however she didn’t share my sense of subtly. Granted, not that I had much. Sunflower left shortly after Dyvim went to be.. MERRY with the slaver woman. Not long after Temür joined me. He kept talking about how someone had hit Dyvim over the head. It was then that I recalled that I had earlier heard something going on, and I heard that despicable character who tried to steal my helmet, say something about Dyvim, and stopping him, or knocking him out. I was outraged, I told Temür to open the cage, as we should go teach this helmet-thief a lesson. (“You where going to attack an other, inside a shadowland?”, Linda tilted her head confusedly. “Yeah…”, Leesa replied, shaking her head. “When it came to Dyvim my decisions, were not always… thought out.”) We stormed up on deck, and well… I knocked the helmet-thief out before he had a chance to reply. I don’t exactly recall how, as I was filled with adrenaline at the time, but I found out that Dyvim had burnt himself, and that the Helmet-thief knocked him out, in an attempt to try to stop him from leaping into the flames. At which point I returned to my coffin.
Sunflower returned. This time, she told me of some very eerie things. Apparently, there was a ghost on the other ship. Not long after I was picked up to speak to Lord Fang, at which point I told her, of the ghost on the other ship. She seemed interested, terrified by the implications, that the ship behind them might be lost, and that knew about it.
I went to check on Dyvim. He was not well, bandaged from head to to, almost. Well, his hands where completely bandaged up, and his face was mostly bandaged up. I didn’t know what to say to him. I need him, but I couldn’t tell him, he needed to focus on getting better. Though, in retrospect his focus was far away from that. (“Far away?”, Ralph peered up. “We’ll get to that.”, Leesa replied.)
Harkon ordered me to find Temür. So I went up on deck, to find Renzo. He told me that Temür was on the other ship, probably getting beat up. He said he’d go split it up, after he was done sorting all of the things, that Harkon had earlier used to build a barricade. As I knew there were ghosts on the other ship, I didn’t know what to do, and night was approaching. I started singing towards the rear ship, hoping that a soothing lullaby would calm the ghosts down.
