Selina looked up at Damien as he spoke softly to her and she smirked. "I do not need your protection Damien, besides, I have not survived all this time because others looked out for me. Although, I do LOVE that offer." She said with a sly smile and lifting a dark brow as she kissed him tenderly.
She laid her head back down, completely content to sleep there and stay with him. "Damien, last night..." She finally began. "I wanted to know...it was mere lust, right? I mean, there were no feelings in it, really, right?" Selina asked a bit nervously. Deep down she wanted him to say it meant something to him, although, frankly, for her it was pure lust and passion really. Although now she had a different view on things.
She stared up at him and brought a hand to his face and softly caressed it. The electricity between them growing once more, it was quite magnetic, and now Selina was beginning to sense it grow between them once more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evelyn tossed in her sleep, images filling her unconscious mind. She saw her mother for a moment and she cried out to her, but she vanished, as did her father...although in the dark she caught glimpse of a peculiar map. Then with a blink of the eyes it was gone. And then, Eric. He was haunting her and she attempted to force him out. Still his soft boyish grin shown and she couldn't help but smile at him....who knew what would become of them truly...but no matter what, she could never forget him now...no. Now he was permanantly lodged in her dreams, and for Evelyn, getting rid of her past was never the easiest thing for her to do.

:Linea had been below decks, sleeping off a wee bit of nausea. She hadn't been feeling well for a while and awakened with just a massive headache for her troubles. Getting up, she splashed some cold water from a jug on her face to wake her up, trying to lessen the pounding headache. She was just wearing a long shirt so she grabbed her breeches and pulled them on, leaving the shirt untucked. Linea didn't really care what she looked like at that moment as she thrust on her boots, pulled her hair into a horsetail and walked out of her cabin and on deck.:
: Once she was on deck, she found a spot that wasn't crowded with people. Linea sat there, looking out over the water just praying the air would lessen her headache. Smiling grimly, she laid her hands on the side of the ship and rested her head on her arms as she watched the drift further and further away. Linea was enjoying the solace but missed those she'd met on the ship, but in her state, she didn't want to see any of them. She hurt badly, felt horrible and probably should still be in bed.:
I really should be in bed, being sick and all, but I don't care. It's just a headache. Sure, it sounds as if my head is in a large bell and someone is smashing it with a mallet, but it's all good. *sighs* It's been a long journey, too long maybe. I don't know if I feel that I should be back with Damolyr or just running away from everything, everyone. Nothing is how it was, or ever will be. There's nothing I can do to change it either. I don't know what to do...I don't know who I am anymore...I just don't know what I want, well not entirely. I've learned to remember so much since I came here. I've learnt what real frienship is, I've seen a crew that works well together. I've also been shown to see that something I thought was lost, wasn't. I learnt to love again...but who knows..even that may be just false realization. I don't know anymore...I just wish someone would tell me if what I think is real or not.
:She sighed again and continued with her thoughts as she stared out over the water with her headache lingering, instead of fading away.:

:Jack listened to Hermes. A sort of glitter growing in the Captain's eyes as he took in the information. Immortality.......a thing he'd always wanted........:
:He kept his face nuetral.....now...carefully considering the situation: "Well........if we stay on our course that'll keep us near the Pearl.....but she's fast.....she'll make land before we do....easily...but staying on course is our best shot we have of getting to this Box......"
::He turned eyes on his two children: "If anything happens..." He looked at Hermes in a way that said there was no arguing this point, god or not: "You'll be the one takin' care of these two.......savvy?"
:He smiled just enough to break th tension then turned his eyes back out to the sea, carefully fixing his gaze on the point on the horizon he felt the Pearl lay...:

Apollo smiled and then laughed at Tobb's comment about his eyes. He looked thoughtful for a moment. "My eyes reflect the sun. Or so I have been told. It is what keeps me alive you could say. Like mortals need food and water, I need the Sun's fire. It burns in me."
The god seemed lost in thought a while. "When it's night I feel so, hollow. And I catch the las rays of daylight and race to another part of the world. But I feel I must stay here even by night." He didn't explain further, his fondness for the crew. But he remained silent for a while. "and if someone did try to take my eyes they'd be disappointed. They'd find only light and nothing more."
He smiled at Will and Tobbs then looked over at the Sparrows and his brother and shook his head. "A strange crew indeed."

*Eric gave a nod as Sarah took him up on his offer and then he glanced at Maria, a wide grin forming on his lips as she told him what he'd done in his glorious drunken state.* Ah well I think I can live with a bit of humility. Will does it everyday! *He laughed, rubbing his hands together. Then he looked back at Sarah and raised his brows.* Well, I'll show you to my humble abode now. *He stated, placing a hand upon her shoulder as he led her towards the cabin. He gave a wave to Maria as they headed off. It didn't take long for them to get there. He opened the door for her to allow her in then slipped in behind her, going over to the table where he grabbed his sword and stone.* It's almost a mansion you know! *He joked, glancing around the tiny, cramped cabin. He thrust the sword through his belt and slipped the stone in his pocket as he retrieved a fresh pair of pants and a shirt, folding them over his arm.* The washbasin is over there, and there's a bowl of apples on the table. *He stated, pointing in various places about the room. Then he gave her a quick pat on the shoulder.* Need anything else?[/color]
*Will stared between Roux and Tobbs as the two spoke and then he focused his attention on the Gods eyes, not really able to help it much. Then he frowned a bit, wondering what it would be like to have that sense of hollowness. Will had felt a bit lonely through out his life, but never hollow. He chuckled a bit as the God commented on the crew being crazy.* And I thought his last crew was crazy! *He joked, taking a look around.*

Apollo smiled at Will, and just let him stare. Now that he thought about it, his eyes must look rather funny to mortals. To mortals a god's eyes must look bottomless, and emotionless.
He considered this a while, almost amused by the thought. He supposed light was emotionless. And perhapes if he had not been able to smile or frown, or cry he would be like a statue. Eyes were a gate to a person's heart.
He blinked and focused in on Will, guessing his thoughts. "it's like being without the one you love." He said, supplying the emotion or idea for Will concerning the Sun in relation to himself.
"All the joy and love is gone." He shrugged a little. "Remind me to take you to the Sun one day."
and then he caught sight of Linea coming onto deck. He smiled brightly, his eyes bursting with a gold light. He waited a moment or two, not sure of what to do. Then he nodded to Will.
"pardon me a moment, I have a young lady who I'd like to talk to."
He walked over to Linea silently, and then waited a second before tapping her on the shoulder. "are you well?" #nosmileys

The relief was plain on Hermes's face. "Very well, it sounds like a plan to me." When Jack ordered him to take care of his children, the god nodded in surprise. "Of course I will. I'm bound to your children, Jack, by blood - a drop of their blood is in me, and they have a spark of divine blood in their own veins. I couldn't leave them now if I tried.
"I offer the same choice to you, by the way," Hermes added. "I could bind myself to you as well. If you ever need divine aid, it will be there...I won't force you. It can help you one day...but it's your choice." He paused, wondering what Jack's decision would be. Both twins had turned their faces to the sea...

Jack considered the idea and looked at Hermes. part god. Fun idea. Well. he'd think it over.:
"how about I tell you once I get my ship back?" He askd calmly. He smiled at the god who for some odd reason reminded him remotely of Will. sort of nuts with a bit of wild inteligence.
"So.....that hat o' yours....." He began by way of conversation. "what sort of hat is that?"

:The tap on her shoulder startled Linea out of her thoughts and back to the present. Turning around she met Roux's blazing eyes and smiled slightly.:
As well as can be expected. I've got the gods's own headache. I'm sure it'll pass. It's probably because of all I've got on my mind. Sorry for my appearance, I know I don't look anything like my normal self.
:She fussed to fix her hair so that it actually looked somewhat normal instead of a pile hair thrown in a horsetail without being combed.:
How are you by the way?

Apollo laughed and bent down to kiss the top of Linea's head. "You look fine as you are. but if you're concerned." he paused and combed his fingers through her hair. the unruly curls smoothed out, and instead of being wild they were now in a state of controled chaos.
he smiled at her. "I am fine. you however seem as distant as the stars. What's troubling you?"

:Linea smiled and laughed at his little trick of smoothing her curls. She had given up long ago making them stay put without them trying to escape their pins. She sighed as he said that she was being distant.:
I'm sorry, I truly am. It seems as if I don't know what's going on anymore. I can't seem to understand if what I left was worth coming here. I don't know if all I see and feel here is truly real. I really wish I knew, if this *waving her hand around her* is truly what it seems.
:Sighing once more, she stood up and looked Roux in the eyes.:
I just don't know if what I thought I knew is real.

"Well, what do you feel is real? what does your heart say?"
he smiled at her. "I learned a long time ago that the world and time and space revolve around the people in it, not the other way around. You make your own path and Fate only plays it's part in seeing you reach your destination. but it has nothing whatsoever with the path you take."
he considered her a while. "You'll know what's right when it happens. As you'll know what is wrong when it happens. just meet the days as they come. it's easier that way."
Apollo's eyes flickered again as he stared at her, trying to guess what was going on in her mind. "You'll find your path. and it'll take you where you need to go. But whatever happens in live is fine. just trust in that."

Roux, there's so much about me that you do not know. The life that I used to live, still haunts me. I was stripped of my freedom for so long, and lost so many things dear to my heart. Living behind bars for longer than anyone should have to endure is enough to make a person go mad, forget things they should not. I had forgotten what friendship and teamwork was...and now I see it again. Most of all, I forgot what it is to love.
:A tear rolled down her cheek at the memory. She didn't like reliving her past, but there was no other way to explain herself.:
And right now...I am not sure if I've found it again. It's been a long time and there was no real glimmer of hope for me in the beginning, but now, I don't know what to think. Is what I feel real? Or is it a memory of a time long ago?
:Wiping away the tears that had fallen, she shook her head and tried to smile.:
I'm sorry, I didn't need to explain all this. It's something I don't think people need to know, let alone want to know.

Apollo listened, and then simply sighed with a sort of understanding smile. Mortals lived such short times but it really was amazing what they could do to themselves or to each other in such a short time.
"I could take you with me you know." he began. "Back to my home. With me. You'd never have that sort of pain again. You'd be safe and loved."
"you'd be with me" He said in a low whisper. "maybe even forever. And you could forget the memories that hurt you so much." Gods, typically felt time would mend all things. and in some cases that was the truth. but not in all cases. Apollo was trying to help in the one way he knew how. offer her a life as a minor goddess. To be free.
"Think it over, please." He asked. "It's a idea worth considering."

::Callisto guided the Pearl along. Carefully. And suddenly they were in a dense fog. A fog so thick it looked solid. She did not waver but steered them into it'd heart. for what seemed like hours or seconds they drifted.:
:and then...a burst of white light. A sudden chorus of song that lasted only a half second and there it was. The island. A green forest, and white sand. the people on deck could just see glittering water falls, and bright flowers.::
::Callisto landed the ship on her own and strode ashore. not stopping to look behind her. The others could follow it was their choice. She had business of her own to attend to.::
::she coud feel the distant eyes of Zeus on her. Feel his growing anger.....his rage........and knew a storm would soon follow....and was surprised....to feel....she wasn't the one he was angered with....but....:
::Apollo?! one of his favored sons? What could he have done? And then she felt it happen. A snapping. All gods, minor or otherwise could feel th life threads of their fellow immortals. A sort of divine link to all other gods. Apollo's had just been broken.:
::Callisto winced in pain and looked up at the sky. What could have happened to anger Zeus?::
