Voyage (CANCELLED, no more posting)

[Cifero Windtail]

"How did you know?"
Joseph turns to look at the gryphon.
"How did you figure out that I was the true judge and that he was the parasite?" it said as Joseph walked past it to unlock the chain.
"It was the way you looked in my eyes," he said. "I saw no evil when I locked eyes with you."
The shackles came loose.
"I see," the gryphon said. "Well, you are free to return to your body now. I will send you back. The sabre will accompany you. Use it well." He waved toward a circle on the floor. "Stand there."
Joseph did as he was told."
"One more thing," the gryphon said. "You will now have the ability to control fire of all sorts. Use it for good, not evil." It smiled. "Run like the river, Joseph."
The feline smiled at the scroll reference. "Fly you high."
With that, he was gone.
 
Upon awakening, Joseph found himself lying down.
"What the..." He went to get up and whacked his forehead against Wolf's paw.
"OW!" He put his hand to his head, then glanced around the room at everyone. Feuilly's sabre was leaning in the corner. 

[Shadis]

*Shadis withdraws his paw and stares at it surprised.* "Did I just heal someone?!" *He sounds more surprised that he may have healed, instead of killed, something for a change than the fact that Joesph was alive. He then shakes his head* "Errr, Joesph! Your alive! YAYYYYY!!!!!"

[Cifero Windtail]

"Err... thanks, Wolf," Joseph said. His shoulder was bandaged, and he was lying in a cabin in the Sea Horse. "Man, that was weird..."
 
Thalia gaped at Joseph.
"How did you come back to life? You were dead."
 
Joseph stared at Thalia. "Who are you?" he asked. "And what do you mean I was dead? What the hell happened while I was out?" He cogitated for a moment. (Cogitate: to ponder something.) "HOW long have I been out?"
 

[Black-Horse]

Dominic just watched, but seeing Joseph alive was good news. Dominic stood at the wheel and steered the ship. " I be glad hes alright, but now we must settle back to work and find that sword nest."

[Kaya]

*Kaya Yells then punches Joesph's good shoulder with a pissed look on her face and storms off to the upper deck, grumbling to herself.*

[Cifero Windtail]

"OW!" Joseph clutched his arm. "Seriously, Wolf... what happened after I got shot? And who's this other girl?"

[Kaya]

Kaya is sitting on the ships rail and glaring out over the water happy that Joesph is ok but seriously pissed at her self for caring whether or not he dies. "you cant afford to get attached to anyone, you have a job to do.." She says to her self.

[Cifero Windtail]

Thalia looked at Joseph. "My name is Thalia Wiseacre," she said, absentmindedly rubbing one arm. "I was trapped on the island, and I was the one who helped to mend you."
 
"Um... thank you," Joseph said, suddenly noticing the sword slung across her back. "I see you have Anduril." He smiled halfheartedly. "That's pretty coincidental."
 
"Yes, it is... but I have to ask," Thalia said. "How did you beat the arrow? No one has ever done so before."
 
 
"I killed the "judge" with that," he said, pointing to the sabre in the corner. "The true judge was the beast chained up at the end." 
 
 

[Shadis]

"Err, yes, what she said. You were hit my a magically poisened arrow. It carried a rather deadly bite, one of the worse I've seen in the hundreds of y-" *I stop and quickly change the topic* *You were hurt but you pulled through and now you are alive! Increadable indeed! After you went out, the rest of the crew brought u to the ship with this cast away, no offense ma'm. The captain then... Got us back out to sea. And now here we are mate. You sure do have a nasty habit of only getting hit in the soilder. It's like you dont want the wounds to heal up!" *I smile jokeingly* "How do you feel?"

[Black-Horse]

Dominic noticed grey and white sails in the distance to the right. Dominic opened his spyglass to look at it. Dominic put it down. " Spanish ships on Starboard side!!! BATTLE STATIONS ON STARBOARD!" Dominic pulled his pistol out and held the wheel.

Boone ran to the deck and loaded a cannon.

Jack went below deck to load a heavy cannon.

Joe spun down to the deck and loaded another cannon.

Dominic looked at the ship, and it was heading straight for the seahorse. " HURRY YOU ONE HANDED SCALYWAGS!! YOU WANT TO LIVE!!!"

[Kaya]

Kaya detaches herself from the railing and starts helping boone, jack, and joe load and ready the cannons.

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph rubbed the back of his head. "Fine, despite the pain, and..." He suddenly snapped to attention. "Do you hear something? Because I'm sure that I just heard..."
He heard it again; the distinct sound of a cannon.
"Um... I think you might want to get topside," the feline said. He slowly got up and fetched Feuilly's sabre from the corner, then laid back down, removed his hidden blade and pistol, and took some supplies out of his satchel. "I have some work to do... keep the ships stalled."

[Shadis]

*Shadis gave Cifero a confused look,* "Stalled? I don't know what you mean. We better get top side." *With that, he turns and runs up the stairs and out to the deck. Quickly obserbing all that was happening, he ran to a cannon on deck and began loading it.*

[Cifero Windtail]

Thalia stared at Joseph as he quickly dissasembled the pistol and the hidden blade and began building something else. "What are you doing?" she asked as the feline worked, moving his hands inhumanly fast as he finished up the device.
 
"Helping indirectly," Joseph said, placing the new mechanism on his left wrist. He walked over to a porthole, picking up a small sliver of wood on the way.
 
"Wait... you passed the test, right?"
 
"Yes," Joseph said, dipping the sliver in kerosine and loading it into a hole in the gauntlet.
 
"And you were given a new ability," Thalia said, wrapping her arms around her bare stomach as Joseph opened the porthole.
 
"Yes," Joseph said, pointing the gauntlet out the window.
 
"Okay," Thalia said, "but then why are you..." The black cat looked at the direction in which he was pointing the gauntlet. She smiled wryly. "You got control over fire, didn't you?"
 
Joseph held up his other hand so that it was right by the gauntlet's gun barrel, then glanced back at Thalia, smiling right back. "How did you guess?" he said, firing the piece of wood and lighting it on fire as it sped toward a Spnish ship.

[Black-Horse]

Dominic turned the ship front heading to the spanish ship. " JACK AND JOE! FRONT CHASE CANNONS! THOW THAT WE ARE FACING THEM FROM FRONT STAY ON STARBOARD SIDE!"

Joe and Jack ran into the front bow of the ship and pushed the 2 front cannons out facing the spanish ship.

" FIRE!!"

The 2 front cannons fired at the spanish ship. Wood chunks blew off the front of the spanish ship. The ship turned right to the side facing the sea-horse. Dominic turned the ship left for the starboard facing the spanish ship. Jack and Joe returned to their starboard cannon posts. " FIRE!" Joe, Boone and Jack fired there cannons and began to reload them. The Spanish ship fired back.
