// this was okayed by Jack. hope everyone likes it//
Apollo's body jerked suddenly, and his head snapped back. All the light left him. The light from his eyes and the soft glow that enveloped him normally.
The god cried out once in pain then in confusion as the Divine blood he carried in his veins was emptied and drained of all power. His eyes clouded over and became dull and dark. He was, impossible of course, an why?
He was mortal. Roux's wits were about him enough to keep himself from dropping all at once. But soon it was not enough. His limps were suddenly unable to support his weight. He swayed once and buckled, lying on the deck, eyes closed and growing pale.
"I don't understand." He whispered. what had happened?#nosmileys

*Will raised a brow for a moment as Roux focused on him and then at the Gods explination of the hallow feeling Will nodded and his thoughts went instantly to Elizabeth and how he had felt a year ago when he thought he would loose her. It was torture. Then Roux told him to remind him to take Will to the sun one day and Will tipped his head to the side, not sure if he was being serious. Would something like that even be possible? He grinned a little. It was hard enough getting Elizabeth to let him come with Jack. Imagine what'd she'd do if Will said he was gonna take a quick trip to the sun with Apollo. Will chuckled a bit at his thoughts.* Goodbye! *Will said simply as the God excused himself. He watched Roux walk off towards Linea then with a heavy sigh and a stretch he was about to head towards his own cabin when suddenly he saw Roux sway a bit then drop to the deck. Wills brow furrowed and he rushed over to the God, kneeling down beside him with a more than confused look in his dark eyes.* What happened to him? *He cried, quickly glancing towards Linea.*

Roux blinked a few times as if trying to confirm what he felt. All that light the power. it was simply gone. He sucked in air suddenly and shook his head.
Zeus was the only one who could do this. But why? he had done nothing to offend his father. Had he? He looked at Will, and then closed his eyes. He couldn't feel the sun's light into himself anymore. He might as well be dead for all he felt like right now.
Since his birth Ages ago he'd carried the light and music of the Sun inside himself. now it was gone. it was the closest thing to death he'd ever felt.
Hi eyes were dark now, no hint of light inside. A statue he became one thatcould breath and nothing more. Shock was taking hold.#nosmileys

*Will frowned as he looked away from Linea and his eyes met with those of Roux. But they were no longer golden, now they were dark and almost lifeless. He shook his head, glancing the God over as he tried to figure out what was wrong with him but at the moment there didn't seem to be too much time for guess work. Roux was getting to the point now where he seemed almost dead, and that frightened Will. Surely a God couldn't die? Finally he looked back over at Linea.* He's going into shock, we need to get him to a bed. *Will said, glancing around nervously. He was at a loss for what to do and knew that he was going to need help. He jumped up quickly and rushed towards Jack and Hermes and he glanced between them.* I don't know what, but something happened to Roux... *He stated swiftly, glancing back where Roux was and without hesitating, rushed back to the spot.*

::Jack didn't paused but jumped after Will and towards Roux. He looked at the man in shock. He was a god wasn't he? Then it occured to Jack.......::
"He's a human now, isn't he?" He asked nobody in particular. He touched Roux's head, found it too cold to be good then gestured to Will: "Come on, we better move him...."
:He helped lift the man up and with much manuvering and some mild swearing, put him in a cabin. He looked at Roux a long moment, understanding without being told that this had to do with the other gods. That Apollo was no longer Apollo, just Roux now and he was ill. And this Box. it was playing a part.:
"Well.....this is new. I've never had this happen before." Jack said to himself. "Bullets and sword wounds I can fix....but this....." :Jack shook his head.:

Evelyn woke with a start and sweat upon her brow. She had been having another nightmare, but it was rather mild, what woke her was something different. Evelyn peered up at the ceiling and heard many concerned voices and a thud. She furrowed her brows and her head still pounded a bit. "Bloody hell, can' anyone get some bloody sleep?!" Evelyn growled as she got out of bed quickly.
Evelyn found her boots and left her room, bursting through her door and looked up and down the hall. She lifted a brow as she spotted Roux being carried away by Jack and Will and she shook her head briefly. "What in God's name..." Evelyn muttered a bit as she followed suit. Briefly, Evelyn caught a glimpse of Eric walking down the hall, followed by Sarah, what was he doing? Where was he going with HER anyway? Evelyn shrugged and continued on her way...
When she noticed as Jack and Will plopped Roux down Evelyn lifted a brow. She heard Jack speak and she furrowed her brows. "What d'ye mean Jack, was wrong with 'im anyway?" Evelyn asked. She didn't see what was so wrong with him at the moment, except for the fact that he looked a bit shocked. "I mean, the eunuch didn't shoot him er anythin', right?" Evelyn said nodding towards Will and giving a slight laugh. "And besides, what the bloody hell is everyone doin' walkin' about...everyone should damn well be sleepin'..." Evelyn said groggily and yawning a bit.

*Tobbs listened to Roux's words and smiled at Will when he said she could count on him, nodding and then resuming to listen to Roux. When he went off with Linea, she watched the two of them and sighed thoughtfully, about so speak to Will on her past more mayhap, or ask him something about Elizabeth...but she had no time..*
*All of a sudden Roux was down and less glowy than normal, and she stood up on deck as Will rushed over. She was about to run over and help them when she saw Jack and Hermes coming to help as well...*
*She refused to go near the captain for now and decided that that was enough help the god could get...mayhap there was a slighter more human look about him...she tried as much as she could to turn around and let him be helped by the group that had made their way to his side, hoping Roux took no offense to her not going to aid him. As much as she wanted to help him, she obstinately would not go over by Jack. And her stubborness was something nmot to be forgotten.*
*She quickly went below deck before they did and walked on as a few other crew members went up to see what had happened, entering in her cabin and shutting the door rather softly, curling up in a chair by the table and drawing out a dagger to sharpen. She wanted to pass time, for she wasn't all that tired yet, and she wanted to hear the news of Roux...so she went on sharpening and refused to think of her past nor anyone else but the dagger she held.*

::Jack looked at Evelyn and then calmly went into a explanation of Roux's godlyness or lack there of for the present time and then minutely went over the Box of Immortality and Orestes's Divine ness....:
:All while keeping his voice calm, as if explaining why two plus two equaled four.......and then he looked at Roux again: "and now he looks to be human...." Jack finished off with a slight nod, as if processing all this information was easy enough. Only in Jack rambling mind was it easy....but of course he never stopped to consider that the rest of the world didn't think exactly like him::::
::Having said that he paced the floor once then looked at the fallen god again: "I think some rum might help."

Evelyn blinked stupidly for a few moments. "Roux's a God? An', an' that bloody sprat I've been arguin' with is a bloody god?!" Evelyn asked a bit confused still and shocked at all the information. "Ha! I knew that man wasn' normal for not backing down against me like that! Ha! I got a god to apologize." Evelyn said with a bit of pride in her tone. Still she looked over Roux a bit and frowned.
"Rum?! Er, NO, tha' won't fix anythin' Jack..." Evelyn said with a bit of a nervous laugh. She really didn't want Jack wasting to the rum, especially on someone like Roux who might not even be able to fully appreciate the taste of rum yet, being recently a mortal and all. "He should wake up on his own..." Evelyn walked over to the man as he lay in bed and awkwardly smacked his face a bit. "Roux! Wake up!" she said loudly and then blinked seeing as he wouldn't wake up. "Er...hehe, worth a bloody try." Evelyn said with a small awkward laugh.
Evelyn rubbed her head as she took all of this in. It was a lot to get around but, to Evy, right now...all that was turning through her head was Eric and Sarah...She shrugged this off and looked Jack over. "He'll wake on his own, I s'ppose. No use in trying to lure him up with rum." Eve told him with a slight nod and wink.

:Linea smiled a little more at his words of finding a home for herself with him. To leave everything and be with him would be a hard, yet not so hard decision for her. She told him that she would think on it a little more, although, she would most likely follow her heart. Suddenly, as he cried out in pain, she didn't know what to do other to rush to his side as he fell onto the deck. As Will asked her a question, she didn't know how to answer.:
I don't know what has happened, all he said was that he could take me home with him if that was what I wished, then he collapsed.
:Looking into his eyes, she saw that the gold has gone as if it had melted away. She overheard Jack as he came over saying that he was human and she wondered why. What had he done to deserve this..then she thought about what was said and done before it happened. As Jack carried him below decks, Linea went with him and sat beside him just watching him until he was well again. There was nothing she could do other than that. She couldn't make his pain go away, or the realization that he was stripped of the powers he'd once held. Taking his hand, she held it softly in hers just praying that he'd be alright.:

Hermes laughed; Jack really was something else. About to reply, he suddenly froze in place, staring straight forward. The gold in his eyes flickered.
Rose and Hawk felt it in their blood, turning to look at him with concern. "Hermes? 'S wrong?" Rose's face and voice were anxious; anything that made a god nervous wouldn't be fun...
Hermes said nothing, just stayed frozen in place. Jack left to go after Roux; commotions occured, but the god stayed in place, staring straight forward, face displaying shock. There was a long pause as Jack and Will carried Roux downstairs, in which Hawk and Rose looked at Hermes in concern. Then, quickly, he blinked, snapped out of it, and shot off after them. The Sparrow twins followed.
Hermes was down there quickly, pushing close to his brother's bedside, between Will and Jack. His usually merry eyes were wide with shock, his face dead. Slowly, he brushed a hand over his brother's brow. "Apollo..." he whispered, his voice shaking. The two brothers had been together for centuries, for milennia...what had happened?
When Hermes raised his face, his golden eyes were glimmering, his face set. "I've got to go home," he said in a tone much colder than his usual one. It was full of determination of strength, and it was clear he wasn't changing his mind.
Rose looked up at him, concerned. "What 'appened?"
"I don't know." Hermes's tone was soft, but his eyes were still blazing. "I must go speak with Father...I don't know how this could have happened...what he'd done..." He looked at Linea, his gaze not accusing, but reassuring. Telling her that if she felt it was her fault, she was wrong...
His gaze then turned to Tobbs; it became apologetic, for not revealing to her that he was a god, for using his godly powers to trick her into trusting him. Finally, he looked at Evelyn and winked at her, just barely, in a way that seemed to guess what she was thinking.
Finally, he looked at Jack in apology and respect; the man knew how to take care of his crew, even if the gods had dragged him into this mess...he slowly placed a hand on Rose and Hawk's shoulders. "I'll be back," he said quietly. "Stay out of trouble...though you're Sparrows, it won't be easy."
Then Hermes faced the entire cabin and bowed, deeply. "I have nothing but the highest respect for all of you. You're the ideal crew, and every one of you has benefitted from your time here. Thank you for your hospitatily...I must now go." He caught Jack's eye and grinned faintly. "The gods are watching over you, Jack Sparrow," he said, and vanished.

* Maria laughed as Eric told her that what he had done when drunk, Will had done the same daily. She watched them go and waved back to Eric*
* Sarah waved to Maria as Eric lead her to his cabin. As he opened the door she carefully slipped in, he slipped in after her. The room was cramped and smelled a bit musty, but she was grateful nonetheless. Eric joked about the room's space. She laughed and smiled at him. He was very charming, she thought. But in her mind he still belonged to Evelyn, and Evelyn wasn't the friendliest with her. Eric then showed her where everything was then asked if she needed anything else.* " No I'm quite fine.." * Unnoticingly Sarah flashed him another smile. When he started to head out she stood up and walked to the door* " Thank you, Eric...."

*Will gave Jack a curious look as he said that Roux was a human now. If that was so, what had caused it? Surely he hadn't chosen to do this to himself. He looked at Jack and gave a nod, helping him lift the man and rush him to a cabin. He took a step back and gazed at the former God with his arms crossed and a sorry look upon his face. It was strange for him to see a God in such a fragile state. It just...didn't seem right.* Never happened to me either...but then I don't usually run into that many Gods in Port Royal. *Will stated, shaking his head a bit. He didn't understand all of what was going on and thus, didn't have a clue on how to fix it. His attention went to Evelyn at her comment and he smirked at her.* No, I didn't shoot him thank you. *He grunted, as Jack explained what happened. As the Box of Immortality was brought up Will raised a brow. Then he laughed a little.* You think rum will actually help him? *He asked then sighed a bit, knowing that was a stupid thing to say to Jack. Then he looked at Evelyn when she smacked Roux in an attempt to wake him up. Will glanced upwards as if he expected a lightning bolt to smite her down right then. Slowly he looked back at Evelyn. He did figure she was right thought. Sleep and rest was probably better in this case then rum. But he wasn't gonna say that to Jack as he figured it wouldn't matter much. Then he looked at Linea.* I think with Linea watching him, he should get better soon enough. *He stated, giving her a bit of a smile. Will looked over at Hermes curiously and he nodded, figuring the God was going to find out which of the other devine had done this to Apollo.*
*Eric smiled back at her and nodded his head as Sarah said she didn't need anything.* Well if you need me i'll be invading Will's cabin. *He stated with a laugh, walking towards the door. Then he looked at her curiously as she stepped in the doorway and thanked him. He glanced around the room a moment and then slowly returned her smile and cleared his throat.* You're welcome, Ev...ha ha...Sarah. Anytime. *He stated, reaching out and giving her shoulder a brief squeeze. He gave her one last smile then brushed past her and made his way to Wills room. He tossed his stuff upon the table and flopped out on the bed when suddenly he heard some commotion on deck. He jumped up and grabbed his sword, thinking they had come up on the Pearl but when he got on deck, it was nearly empty. He looked around curiously then made his way below deck where he found much of the crew crowded around Roux. He spotted Evelyn in the crowd as well and he fidgeted a bit. He wanted more than anything to go stand by her, to be near her. But he figured it would be best for her if he was as far from her as possible.* Is Roux gonna be okay? *He asked, nudging Will. Will glanced at him and paused a moment but nodded.* I think so, I hope so. *He stated. Eric nodded slowly, glancing again at Evelyn, but this time his gaze lingered on her without it meaning to. After a long moment he blushed and hurried back up on deck and sat down on a barrel, gazing out at the choppy waters.*[/color]

Evelyn looked about the room and noticed as Linea came in to sit with Roux. She obviously missed THIS little romance. Evy smirked a bit at her but then as the ship hit a large wave and rocked a bit more violently, Evelyn felt a wave of sickness overcome her again. Evelyn cluthed her head tightly and groaned in pain. The pounding from the drunkeness hadn't completely died down yet, and her stomach was churning again.
The warmth in the room and the fact that it was becoming a bit crowded also added to her sick feeling and prompted Evelyn to scurry out of the room quickly. "Oh God!" Evelyn uttered as she left the cabin and rushed up on deck. She flew past everything and everyone, and managed to put her head over the side just in time to puke some more over the side of the ship. Evelyn gagged a bit and gave a final spit before she took a deep breath.
The soft, calming, breezy night washed some fresh salty air over her face gently. She breathed in deeply and pulled the curls away from her face as she stared up at the moonlit night. She weakly turned around and noticed someone sitting on a barrel, and when she noticed who it was she merely grunted. "What the 'ell are you doin' up here? Shouldn' ye be off in yer cabin with SARAH by now?" Evelyn muttered just loud enough for it to carry out across to him.
Evelyn was angry and was talking out of spite at the moment, but she didn't care. She felt like crap, needed some air, and if it was convinient for her to talk to someone, she would, regardless of who it was. Perhaps it would take her mind off of her sick stomach...

*Erics attention turned from the inky waters to someone rushing towards the railing. He raised a brow a bit as he realized the crewmember was throwing up. As soon as the woman turned around he rolled his eyes a bit, turning them back out to sea. At her comment he simply smirked.* Be with Sarah, and miss you hurling over the railing? Never! *He smarted off, glarring at her.* I thought you were below deck with Roux. *Eric stated, standing up and slowly making his way over to her. It was a strange emotion he was feeling at the moment. He wanted to take her and hold her while at the same time just toss her overboard while no one was looking, pretend she fell over and he hadn't noticed. But then his thoughts went back to Sarah and he glanced towards his cabin for a moment before looking back at Evelyn.* Tell me, Evelyn. If you could give a rats ass about me now, why do you care who I'm talking to or who I'm with? *He asked curiosly.*[/color]
