Rhys could see snakes flying through the air as she turned around. First it was just at the big snake, drawing its attention to the flying objects, but then it was at the Captain. Slowly as the diversion died, the large snake made it's way towards the three humans intent on getting a nice dinner and some dessert. The dessert being Rhys of course, because everyone knows that girls are sweeter.
"I will not let you kill me!" she shouted shaking her fist at the snake. Suddenly it lunged at Jack. He dodged, but Rhys was angry now. She jumped. She jumped onto the back of the snake, wrapping her arms around it trying to restrain the animal. "You will not kill us!"

It was perhaps lucky none of the crew was following, because in his anger, Roux was emitting a throbbing fiery glow. He stormed throug the jungle with a barely contained rage and followed the sounds of the voices he heard.
He was a few yards away when he had to stop and force himself into a calmer state. "am I alright?" He asked Linea, refering to the glow. He couldn't help if they saw. He did in fact look normal, except his eyes. Just around the edges they flickered with a ember glow.
"We're here, Captain!" Roux shouted to them an gave Linea a questioning look. "Am I alright?"

:Linea could just see Roux brimming with fury as it transfered into his presence to strongly it almost frightened her. She knew that it wasn't directed at her so she knew she'd be alright and goodness only knows what would happen to those causing this anger when he found them. When he asked her how he looked after trying to calm down, she sighed a little.:
You still show a little, around the edges. Try to calm down a wee bit more and it should pass. It's mostly your eyes, just a glowy, but it should be alright. Hopefully they'll not notice as we'll be a bigger distraction than just your eyes. Don't worry, it'll be alright.

Roux nodded, took a deep breath then in a flash was down near the opening of the pit. He couldn't see much. Picking up a branch nearby it ignited into flames at his touch. He held this up high and peered down into the pit.
"Captain! Will! Rhys!" He called to them. "Hang on just a second!" He said and looked around for something to use as a rope. He found a cluster of vines and tied them to a tree trunk. Then he lowered them over the side. "Grab hold!" He shouted and braced himself, eyes glowing very very faintly now. He could, in his anger, pull them all up at once. but he had better not.
He looked to Linea. "Keep a sharp eye open. In case someon should come by."

:As Roux knelt to get Jack and the others out, Linea kept a wary eye to the trees that could hide unsuspecting people. As she concentrated, she heard a small twig snap in the jungle and looked for where the sound came from. Whirling around, she saw who had made the noise. It was Kora. She had followed them and was going to make do with them as well. Linea wouldn't stand for this in her family and promptly drew her sword.:
You did this, didn't you. You somehow got them all stuck in there and left them there to die. You know what I feel about my family, you being the last I have. But if this is what I have to do to keep my friends and those I love and trust to no end, then I shall grudgingly do it. You may be family Kora, but they are my family too, so if you hurt them, you hurt me and you know I don't like being hurt. So you best prepare yourself for I won't slay an unarmed person.
:Koralyn looked her cousin over and smiled grimly.:
You're smart, I'll give you that. I didn't expect you to think that it was me who did it at first, but I guess with the recent events and information, I guess I was due for an error. As for that little mess over there, I didn't not get them into it. Jack and Will got in there themselves, you yourself knowwhat kind of bumbling idiots they are. I came to see what was going on when I noticed Rhys trying to help them out, though when I lightly tapped her butt, she lost her balance and fell in. As there was nothing I could do, I left them to get themselves out of the mess they made. No reason to get myself bit or anything by those horrid snakes. If you want to fight me, go ahead,but remember, who taught you all that you know? Me, I taught you everything, helped you out when there was no one else to help you. Best keep that in mind while you've a sword to my throat.
:Taking her sword out of it's sheath, she readied herself for the fight that would inevitbly ensue.:

*Will stopped throwing snakes for a single moment and blinked stupidly as one was chucked at him, hitting him smack dab between the eyes. He shot a glare towards Jack and chucked one back, as hard as he could.* Why am I tossing them?? Why am I tossing them? Because I bloody well want to thats why! *He cried.
He blinked again as the snake came at Jack and tipped his head to the side curiously as Rhys lept on it.* Okay this can't be real, I must be dreaming. Cannibals, falling off cliffs, snake pits, unaturally large snake.... *He began rambling.
He looked up as Roux appeared with a cluster of vines, which he tossed down to them.* We're being saved! *He exclaimed, clinging to the vines and scrambling up them.* Not that it'll matter, we'll only die later anyways. *He grumbled, pulling himself up over the edge and turning to peer down at the other two.*

::Jack blinked at Will, almost amused his friend had finally lost his marbles. and then Roux appeared. Willwas scrambling over the side with all haste. Jack leapt at Rhys and tackled her to the ground.::
::Then he shoved her towards the vines, and grabbed hold of one himself. "Lets get out of here!" And he began climbing quickly, reaching the edge he hauled himself over with help from rouxa nd then quickly turned, offering the other two a hand:

(Sarah asked me to RP her this weekend, while she's away camping... So that explains the whole Sarah thing I'm about to add to this post... ^.^)
Trying to restrain the twisting snake under her, she did not even notice Roux with the vines in his hands. It was only when she was tackled by the Captain that she noticed anything was different. Tackled off the big snake onto a lot of angry little snakes.
With a strangled scream she stood up, all anger gone and rushed after the Captain and Will. The two men climbed up quickly and she grabbed the vine after them, beginning to climb as fast as possible. She hated snakes. Reaching the top she took the extended hands and was hauled up. "What ever happened to ladies first?" she grumbled glarind back at the pit.
Sarah:
She walked along, attempting to make small talk with Rhys as she helped her walk. She could feel the woman slowly regaining her strength as they walked and wasn't surprised when she moved away. Sarah found herself standing alone with Lily, watching the injured Rhys walk lost deep in thought.
Turning to Lily she said, "It's been an interesting journey, hasn't it? Cannibles, falling off cliffs, the like. Never get bored with the Captain and Will around." She stopped finding herself rambling. She watched Lily with a smile waiting for a response, until she heard shouts coming from in front of them. "Let's go!" she said and started running.

::Jack snickered nervously and looked at Will, then to Rhys: "Well I did get ye away didn't I?" He asked her neutrally, and then burst into a snickering fit. Finally he turned his eyes to Roux, who seemed pretty damn pissed off himself.::
"Thanks mate, I owe ye one." He said and meant it. "Everyone accounted for, all fingers and bits together?"

Roux helped haul Will, Jack and Rhys over the pit, and then checked them over. He turned to the Captain.
"We'll call things even now then." He smiled and turned his ys away. He was focused on his wife now, and Kora. Oh, he could Kill Kora now.
"Kora tried to kill Rhys." Roux said simply. "She pushed her in, Captain." Roux said, making sure the others were alright first. He himself strode forward sword drawn. If Kora even attempted to hurt Linea, he would kill her.

Lily nodded and took off at a run after Sarah, preparing a throwing knife for each hand. If things got out of control, she'd be ready. and sure enough when they got there chaos had broken loose.
Jack, Will and Rhys appeared to be crawling out of a pit. Roux had his swrod drawn, ready for a fight. And Linea and Kora were facing off. Lily planted her feet firmly in the ground ,ready to toss a knife at whomever made a wrong move. It appeared Kora was the one at fault as everyone was advancing on her. Lily frowned and took aim, ready.

:Linea shook her head at Roux when he saw him come towards her and Kora. This was her fight, she'd not let himself get hurt over her. It would be settled between the two women. They each stepped carefully circling with their swords the only thing between them.
“Prepare to meet your maker,” Kora yelled as she brought her blade up high and was attacking for Linea's head. As Linea fought to think of how to beat her cousin, all she could do was block which she did, barely. It was always better to attack then to defend she was always told for it would cost her life.
As Kora came around with a second attack, this time aimed at Linea's torso on the left side, Linea twisted to the side and slashed at Kora's arm. Her aim was good and she sliced her arm from her shoulder to wrist. In a rage of being injured Kora attacked high once again.Linea ducked quickly and the blow missed her by mere inches. Faster than lightning as the force of Kora's mighty swing had her somewhat off balance, Linea swung around on Kora's right side and stabbed her in the stomach. To her utter amazement, she stayed standing and was none too happy.
As both parties started to show signs of weariness, Linea knew that mistakes were more easily made. Then the unexpected happened, a quick move by her cousin sent her sword flying. Linea swore because she had no time to retrieve it and thought quickly of what to do.
“Well, it seems to me that you aren’t the fighter you thought you were. If you surrender, I promise I’ll make it quick,” she sneered at Linea with the tip of her sword at the nape of her cousin's throat.
Linea dropped to her knees and placed her hands face down on the dirt. “Go ahead,” she said bitterly. “Get it over with.”

If Roux had been any more angry he might have exploded. But keeping in mind that Jack and the others were not more then a few yards away he contained himself.
He came forward, having let his wife get out her anger. Now it was his turn. He stepped between Kora and Linea with all the speed of the wind and tapped his blade on Kora's.
"I'm afraid I can't let you touch my wife again, miss." He said through grit teeth. Kora glared and Roux smiled darkly. The fight was quite fast actually, Kora putting all her agility into the fight, Roux merely dancing around her with a infuriating grace.
"Not the fighter you thought you were, now are you?" He snapped. Kora lunged slicing Roux's forarm. Roux winced then stepped away a foot. The cut healed in a flash of gold light. Kora stared, confused. Roux laughed harshly.
"Now you know who you're fighting." Roux said, his voice thundering with anger. "A small bit of advice, Kora. Never touch the loved ones of a God." He voice echoed in her head and hers alone. He was about to kill her, take her life, his eyes flaring gold. #nosmileys

Jack yelped and shot forward, grabbing Roux's arm. "Roux! No!"
He was pirate but well, he didn't approve of ladies being killed by a man's blade. He had his own principles, loose and twisted as they were he still had them.
"Don't kill her." He said sternly. "We'll leave her someplace, but we're not going to kill her, Roux, listen mate. We don't kill ladies, even if she did hurt yer wife. We don't kill them." He turned to Kora, dark eyes glittering. "Yer lucky yer a woman or I'd kill ye myself."

Roux blinked, his body shuddered once as if shaking loose his anger then breathing heavily lowered his sword. He respected Jack more then most of his own kin and he would do as the man said.
"Aye." He whispered carefully then took a step backwards. He went over to Linea, convinced that Jack and Will, and the others could handle Kora for now. He wrapped his hands around Linea, and held her to him. He healed her silently, mending the cuts and scrapes, very slowly. They would be healed overnight.
He looked down at her, his eyes gold only to her and asked her softly: "Are you all right?" He placed a kiss on her forehead and looked over her shoulder at Kora, glaring angerily.
