Red Seas

[Aldrea945]

Danny flicked her ears, eyes on her work.  The voices in her mind cried out again and again, disquieting her thoughts.  She'd been drawing heavily on them to complete her work, and they were hardly happy about it.  Any moment, she half expected something to be chucked at her head for her draw of energy.
 
She glanced up at Scarlet as the lung was finished.  "So, how come you chose me?  I'd assume a Necromancer or Blood mage would be more useful," she said, setting the lung in place in one of the bodies.  Of the two, the left was more complete.  The only things missing, besides most of the skin, were the aorta, intestines, and a fixed brain.  The other needed at least one of near everything, minus the heart.  It'd take more time to finish that one, given the state of most bodies.
 
She picked up a piece of muscle.  "Bicep..." she muttered.  She placed the muscle in place, sinew weaving visably through it and pulling it secure for her to heal.  Skin crept up from the back of the shoulder where she'd sewn it in, growing over most of the arm as she worked her magic.
 
Skin had never been hard to heal or grow, not for her at least.  Each mage had talents in one part or another.  She'd once worked with a mage with a talent for creating blood.  It'd worked wonders for the warrior they'd been healing.  Another time, she'd come across a mage with a talent for heart muscle.  Not a particularly nice lady, but most life mages weren't.  The line of work warped them.

scarlet smiled. "we already have a necromancer and a blood mage, but we are not at our strongest yet child. we have a bit of a way to go before we can do wht you are." she sent a mental shout to the souls in dany's mind and they shut up. "with them danny... be firm, dont let them think they can get away with pushing you around... they will hurt you if they feel you are weak."

cassandra let go of shadis and looked down. "ya... joesph.. hes right... they got her....."

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph looked up.
"We'll save her," he said. "I know we will."

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka glanced awkwardly around the group. After a while she folded her arms and glanced down, scuffing up the sand with her boot. It was hard to get sentimental with the rest of them. She hardly enjoyed social meetings like this, and she knew nothing of the people they talked about other than the small amount Shadis had explained to her aboard the ship.


At that thought she sighed and glanced back to the ship, watching the crew scurry back and forth across the deck, intent on any repairs and preparations that they could do while she was grounded. After she felt she could not stare at the ship any longer without seeming rude she glanced back to the group, catching Joseph's eye and giving an attempt at a consoling smile, tail flicking.

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph saw the smile and smiled in return,  a thankful look in his eyes.

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka's smile warmed as Joseph returned it. Her shoulders relaxed and she unfolded her arms very slightly, small changes in the way she stood betraying a wish that she could console the group in their loss, although she did not step any closer and remained just beside Shadis the whole time.


After a moment of standing awkwardly she gave a slight nod of her head to Joseph and said "If it means anything, you will have me and the crew of the Green Dragon with you, every step of the way until your friends are saved." It seemed that was as much as she could press herself to say, as soon after she turned back to scuffing up the sand, glancing from the Liger mage to the others...

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph nodded. "That means a lot. Thank you, miss." He turned to the others. "Perhaps we should go inside to discuss further plans."

[Shadis]

*Shadis sighed* "Well, I can only imagen what they must be doing to her right now, if she is even alive. Thank you, Katka, for your kind offer. I must warn you though of the dangers involved. Ofcourse, you probably already know this. Also, yes, let us go inside." *The mage nods slightly and leads them all inside tot he dinner table. Once inside, The mage's offer them food. Shadis polity declines.* "No thank you, I am quite full."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
*Katka attempts her best at not reacting to what Shadis had just said, and instead tryed to focus her attention on eating the pork chop layed infront of her. However, images of Don's grizzley murder and being devoured flooded her, sicking her to no end, and she pushed the plate away.*

*The Bloodied continued drawing power from The Blood Letting. Dark storm clouds thickened around the entire Isle of Hema, sparking lighting here and their. It slowly began to spread.*

Danny smiled lightly.  "Thank you for quieting them, and for your... compliment.  Can't say I'm very powerful though.  I'm still considered unskilled compared to Longe or Finia."  She worked another piece of muscle into place, part of the calf.  It took only a few moments to do so, seeing as it complete the leg.  She carefully extended the veins and capularies into place.  Red tubes wove in and around the muscle like snakes, dividing again and again.
 
She had managed to find a set of veins earlier, a very lucky thing.  Veins went quickly once decomp set in.  She carefully, slowly, extended the veins up and into the body.  Some grew larger as they fought up.  Others grew and shrank, weaving into the muscles like they had with the leg.  Danny showed little on her face but concentration.  Her eyes were closed.  She imagined the whole system of veins, twisting, turning.  It was something so deeply engrained she couldn't FORGET.
 
Danny opened her eyes, finished with the veins in one body and sat on her heels.  Skin crept up the leg, keeping the foot uncovered.  She didn't quite have the ligaments in place yet.  She looked over at Scarlet.  "Mind helping me find a piece of intestine?  I can cut it in half like I did earlier with the vein.  That way I can add it to both."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raia curled up against a tree.  Her vision spun dangerously from how little food she'd eaten in four days, and she was not in the mood to drown.  The sea stretched in front of her, dauntingly wide.
 
It'd taken over a day to get to the shore, and she'd only had the chance to drink once.  She'd long since stopped crying: it did no good.  She looked desparately around.  "There has to be something, ANYTHING, to eat."  She crawled to the water, looking in forlornly.  Fish wouldn't help.  She ate only fruit.  As if to tease her, fish of all sizes swam right in reach.  Right at her fingers.  Raia looked away to the trees.
 
No fruit grew that she could see, but the wood would make a good raft.  She swallowed and got to her feet, stumbling.  "Better get started."

[Shadis]

[Very nice descriptions ald!    Though it is Scarlet you are talking to, not Cassandra    Once Kaya or Cif says something, I will cause alittle action  ]

[Aldrea945]

(Thanks!  And fixed.)

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph looked over at Katka and rolled her an apple. "I suppose you saw him kill the old captain?" he whispered in her ear.

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka's ear flicked as Joseph whispered and she glanced to him out of the corner of her eye, catching the apple as he rolled it to her. For a moment she toyed with the apple in her gloved hand, clenching it tight in her palm a gold shimmering overcame the tender red flesh of the fruit, and in seconds the apple was of solid gold. Katka sighed and glanced across to Joseph, gave a small nod of her head and whispered. "Yes... Though I have no wish to discuss it over a meal."


At that Katka loosened her grip on the apple and its colour returned. It had of course been merely an illusionary trick, as metalurgy did not allow the transformation of any materials to gold for any length of time, and as such Katka took a large bite and chewed pensively on the sweet fruit.

[Cifero Windtail]

Joseph nodded, surprised at the slight transformation of the apple. "Good point... wouldn't want to spoil anyone's appitite," he whispered. "What are you thinking about?"
 

[Kaya]

cassandra just looked around. this... she was not being herself, all the emotional tormoil that was going through her mind. the pain, guilt, sorrow, fear. worst of all she missed the feeling of not being alone. Cassandra glared down at her plate. it heated up and cracked loudly making her jump in suprise. it snapped her out of her.. darker thinking. "How do you propose we get her back?" she bluntly asks.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Scarlet looked around. she had to admit this was well beineth her... but at least this one payed attention to her.  Scarlet looked around, magically moving rotting peices of flesh from the piles around the corpse room.  "I pay no mind to what the internal components look like. just as long as they function. so what exactly does.. this... intestine, as you called it, look like?"
