Ayvajin fell down onto the floor, quickly crawling away from the door. Her thigh was throbbing with the bullet still in her. She had to get it out quickly now for fear of infection. She moved up against the nearest wall, and her hands worked quickly with their magic to pull out the bullet and heal the wound. Once this was done, she leaned up against the wall, her eyes shifting around.
The necromancer needed to get out of the pirate ship which was obvious. The problem was, Ayvajin’s energy was slowly running out. Summoning the leviathan skeleton, protecting the passengers, and taking a bullet to the thigh were actions that were really starting to wear her down now. |

Dark Star sailed for hours without any problems and the crew shifted positions but there was four guards at all time by the jail cell. The jail guards would talk about who they want out loud on purpose but some of the people weren't talked about on purpose, one of them was the necromancer. Waves now tossed the Dark Star gently as a storm was passing over the ship and the patter of rain could be heard inside the hull.
Phellan was sitting on a chair at a treasure chest as he was drawing routes on a map and other strange symbols. His door was knocked on as a soul stealer entered. She walked up to him and drew her finger across Phellan's back. Phellan immediately grew mad and stood up and glowered at the female soul stealer, his grey eyes looked like they could kill. "Why are you here? is their a problem with the ship, crew or prisoners? No, Then leave!" He spoke venomous and the female flinched as she turned and left. Phellan sat back down and started on his work once more.

The necromancer sat there for a long while, not moving. She simply allowed her eyes to wander around the area, taking in every detail she could. There was no reason to get up and start a ruckus, at least not now. The ship was still out at sea, far from any land area. For now, she would simply sit and regain the rest of her strength.
Hours passed before Ayvajin decided to move. When she did move, it was a simple twitch of her fingers. The skeleton of a ship rat skittered over to her, quiet as the grave in its movements. The necromancer looked down at it, speaking silent words. The creature scurried away along the walls and over to the guards. It made it to the food of one of the guards before scurrying underneath his pants and up his leg before he could see it. |

The guard felt something on his leg as it started climbing up his leg. "What the hell!" he yelled as the three other guards looked at him. He took a knife and stabbed at the creature side ways so he wouldn't stab himself. "Dam rats again. I swear i will." he started saying as he rammed his leg into a cannon and broke the rats bones. "Their we go!" He went and sat down on the ground and watched the prisoners. "I'm getting hungry, think Phellan would notice?" The three others shrugged as they switched positions and continued their watch.
The one guard took the key off a nail in the wall and walked to the door and unlocked it. He opened the door and when he walked in the other prisoners backed away from him and acted scared. He walked over to one and bent down as he kissed her and in that second her soul was taken. Some of them screamed.
Phellan heard the screams and shot out of his room. He rushed down into the hull towards the cell and his grey eyes became furious as he saw what was going on.

Ayvajin was quick to stand up and move over to the soulstealer in quick strides. She hit him off of the girl whose soul he had just taken. She sent a punch to the side of his face before sending a kick to his gut.
“You soulstealers make me sick,” came the necromancer’s enraged yell. “She is an innocent,” she continued to yell and with each word she sent another kick to the pirate’s gut. Ayvajin could not help but to be beyond anger. Her temper had gotten the better of her. She was tired of seeing these innocent people suffer at the hands of these ruthless pirates.
“You pirates are weak, preying on the innocents. They have no way to defend themselves.” |

Phellan strode over to the other three guards and stood as he watched the necromancer take her anger out on the soul stealer. The other guards moved to stop her but Phellan held his hand up. "He was to selfish and I'm glad some one did it for me today since i was close to doing it, even if he was a good soldier." He then walked towards the soul stealer and ignored the necromancer as he bent down. "still has his and others soul, poor fool." Phellan then kissed the dead soul stealer and stole all the souls. he stood up and chuckled, his grey eyes looking at the necromancer. "I was sent to kill Jim E Morgan, a ex bandit."
Phellan bent down over the lifeless girls body and the prisoners moved as far as possible away from him as he kissed her body. Her eyes shot open and they started blinking frantically as her soul got regained to her. Phellan stood up and left the prison as he dragged the dead soul stealer and closed the door. "Dump this body." He ordered a guard and the guard nodded as she took the dead body and went up deck.

“Let me out of here,” Ayvajin cried out now, kicking the door in her frustration. “Let us all out. There is no reason to keep us here. What have we done to you? You keep us here to mock us.”
The necromancer glared. She was angry at these pirates and angry at herself for losing her calm, cool sense of self. She would have vengeance if these pirates did not let her and the other prisoners go. She would make sure that they would know not to mess with her.
There was a loud sound of rustling in the room. Soon several rat skeletons emerged from seemingly nowhere and scurried toward the pirates. |

Phellan sighed as he took his sword from it's sheath and sliced some of the rats and stepped on the others so their bones broke and the guards did the same. Phellan turned toward the necromancer and raised a eyebrow. "Your getting weaker aren't you? I suppose you could have summoned something great if you were at your peak condition." He sighed and turned as he walked up the steps onto the deck. Three people walked down the steps and none with the key this time. They all watched the prisoners with the other three previous guards.
Phellan walked into his quarters as he frowned and he furrowed his brows together. He was in no mood to go make enemies with a necromancer yet he didn't want to show weakness. He growled quietly as he went back to his map and started back to drawing the symbols on it, pondering what to do though.

Ayvajin fell down to her knees, and she leaned against the door. She was weak, this was true, but there was also no other dead creatures around the pirate ship. She was also having trouble picking up any of the dead of the ocean. The pirate ship seemed to be traveling too fast, causing her to become disorientated. She could not see anything, and truly she didn’t know where they were.
The necromancer had fallen silent. She allowed none of the prisoners to talk to her. She simply wanted to be left alone, now. She was going to allow some of her strength to recover, pressing her head against the door. |

Hours seemed to go by as the sky darkened into night and the waves went slower. Dark Star slowed down a little but was still going strong as a new set of soul stealers came and took up positions of the old ones. The system seemed to be all turn based as Dark Star went up speed again. The old set of soul stealers went into the bunk layer and fell asleep as the guards were also exchanged with more vigilant ones.
Phellan had come to a conclusion as he left his quarters and went down below deck to the prison. He sat on a chair next to a barrel and waited. He had everything planned out in his head as his grey eyes scanned the room.

Ayvajin stirred from her thoughts. She had been virtually motionless once more, leaning against the door with her eyes closed. She now moved a bit. Her eyes opened, and she peered around the room. Her icy eyes fell upon the soulstealer pirate. She frowned a bit.
“Come down here to mock me even more?” she questioned, eyes narrowed at the pirate. “I will not have it. I will not listen to anymore of your words. It is bad enough that you have the capacity to take these people and me and lock us down in a cell like a bunch of animals.” |

The guards looked at Phellan then the necromancer before going back to talking. "Were all pirates here, besides you of course." He grinned, if only she knew what was going to happen next. "I'll have you know i don't take fun by mocking people, it actually bores me." he spoke with venom in his words and glared back at her, his grey eyes resting on her. He did not flinch but kept looking at her as he stood up before looking at the guards and walking over to them. "The deck needs to be repaired and cleaning and if i remember right you all owe the ship some payment, I'll take guarding from here." he whispered in their ears. They nodded and quickly went up deck.
Phellan waited for the foot steps to be above deck before sitting in front of the cage. "I only do this since i don't feel like having enemies with a necro." He then got up and took the keys from his cloaks sleeve. He put it in the lock and turned it as the system popped open. he quickly took the keys out and walked back to the chair. "There's two life boats on either side of the ship and one in back which is more like a skipper." he then waited.

The necromancer’s eyes followed the soulstealer. She followed his movements and listened to his words, yet still was not pleased. She was unsure of where they were exactly. Not to mention, she did not have the strength to control a boat. She somewhat doubted that the prisoners could either.
“You expect us to go off onto the ocean alone with no map or sense of direction?” Ayvajin questioned. Her current condition was weighing down on her. She was tired and all the energy she had summoned up seemed to be wasted away with thought.
“Not to mention, if you did not want to be an enemy to a necromancer you should not have attacked that passenger ship.” |

Phellan sighed. "Was i aware of a necromancer on that ship until we were already battle berserk? I think not." he hissed back at her. "I'm giving you a chance though and are not aware what lie in these barrels and crates? Their ship goods." He stood up and walked over to a crate and opened the top off as he searched through it he dug books and scrolls up but found what he was looking for, a map. He walked to the cell and opened it up as he showed her the map. "Here you are. You can read maps like this, can't you?" he asked looking at the map scripted in the pirate code he was writing on the map in his captains quarter.

Ayvajin stood up and took the map out of the pirate’s hand. She looked at it for a moment before lashing out, sending a fist to his jaw. The necromancer couldn’t help her outburst. She just wanted that last feeling, that feeling of punching someone who has caused her much trouble.
“I do know how to read it,” she told him, eyes narrowed as her hand returned to her side. “Now, I would suggest for you to go and distract all of your guards, so we can get out of here and off to safety away from anymore pirates like you and your crew.” |

Phellan wasn't expecting the punch that soon. He opened and closed his jaw a few times before standing up and taking the map from her hands. He walked over the the chair and sat down in it as he drew a circle then a line to a land mass.
He walked back over to her and gave her the map again. "The circle is were Dark Star is now. It's moving twenty knots southwest," he said and pointed to the direction of south west on the map and in the air,"so you'll need to go east to the nearest land mass which is the mainland." He then took a step back from her and stood up. "I know what i need to do." he glared at her before turning around and heading up the stairs to the deck.
The crew was oblivious to what was going on and made sure the way to the back of the boat was clear. He walked into his quarter and took a handful of gold as he went back down to the prison. Phellan set the gold on a barrel and moved back from it. "There's some gold for when you get to the land mass and this spot is usually safe from pirates when storms are a brewing."

The necromancer walked over and took the gold off of the barrel. She shoved it into her pocket. “Well, I am glad that you could spare some change,” she said to the pirate, sending another glare to him. All of her money was loss in the pirate raid, and what he had given them was a small fragment of what she had started with.
“Do not think we are even soulstealer,” Ayvajin said to him. “We are far from being even. With how many innocents your crew has killed, and then on top of that imprisoning us. What I killed was in self defense. There is no excuse for such behavior.” |

Phellan shrugged as if he wasn't listening to her. "You might want to get the other captured people out with you or one of my men my mishap again and i doubt they'll beat him up." He then stood up walked to the ladder. "My name is Phellan by the way." he then walked up the ladder very inconspicuously. He stood guard and made sure no one was looking.
The crows nest soul stealer was in a fine layer of fog and looked down at the captain, Phellan. He wondered what he was doing as he continued to watch Phellan with interest and a hope to get him in trouble by the crew.

“I know what your name is,” Ayvajin called up after the soulstealer, frowning a bit. She turned to the prisoners after a brief moment and quickly started getting the other prisoners rounded up. Once they were all assembled, she told them what they were to do once they had reached the boats. They all had to act accordingly. If they wasted any time, they could easily be found out. They had no time for error.
The necromancer started up out of the ship, following after Phellan’s initial lead. She did not trust the soulstealer. She was simply hoping that he was not leading them all into some sort of sick trap. |

The soul stealer in the crows nest saw shapes move towards the scout boat in back as his eyes widened and he grinned. He picked up his long rifle musket it and aimed it at Phellans chest. He pulled the trigger and the shot went off.
Phellan looked up as he now saw the crows nest mate and turned around. "Hurry i think they saw what's happening." he hissed through clenched teeth as he took a step forward. The bullet seared through his leg as the Dark Star crew turned and saw what was happening to. Phellan yelled as he turned around and pulled up his own rifle and shot the crow nest mate. He dropped his gun and pulled his sword out.
