Vold looked at the crewman. "Take him down to Kruk. Get him to give Kristian a check-up." The crewman nodded, helped Kristian up and led him downstairs. Kruk was a healer, an orc shaman. Surprisingly smart for an orc. |

The mercenaries on the deck did not know what had happened. They had seen the boy brought up on deck and then taken away again. They had felt the strange feeling shortly before, it seemed everyone had. Still they made no move to speak with the crew about it. |

The pair entered Kruk's quarters. The room was simple, but the contents were not. There was a bed, and aside from that the room was covered in shelves, and the shelves were home to all manner of exotic and strange items. Potions, pieces of animals, trinkets and herbs; all sorts were in the room. Kruk was large, even by orc standards. He wore leather garments, adorned with feathers and other tribal markings. His skin was dark for an orc, more grey than green. His staff, which was a golden disc atop a simple cane with several feathers hanging from the disc, sat against a wall. "What brings you-" he looked at Kristian. "Come here, lad. You've got a shadow about you!" Wearily, Kristian moved forward. Kruk took hold of the boy's arm and steered him onto the bed, laying him down. The big orc placed a hand on Kristian's arm, moving his other onto the boy's chest. He closed his eyes and chanted spell words. "What... what happened to you?" asked Kruk, withdrawing his hands quickly. |

Conainn looked out across the sea as the ship sped forward on its journey. He was a fairly young elf but had seen a lot of combat. He was the only member of the mercenaries apart from Akeld himself, who had served with Akeld's father. Sometimes he wondered why he had become a mercenary. Other times he could not think of being anything else. He knew that every job had the potential of being his last, the one which got him killed, but he had the strangest feeling that this one really would. Somehow the elf did not seem to mind. |

"I don't know." said Kristian faintly. "I was just minding my own business, and then... then I felt something come over me. It felt like everything I knew, everything I loved, was coming to an end. I felt cold, and faint. Then I passed out." Kruk stroked his chin, deep in thought. It was a while before he spoke. "Well, lad, I don't know what could've caused it. But, as far as I can tell, you're fine now." |

Osevis said "Perhaps we should go back below deck?" Riace nodded "Not much reason to stay up here now." Conainn said "Go on if you want, I'll stay here for a while." The three human mercenaries walked away and headed to their rooms while the elf Conainn stayed where he was, simply watching the water. |

"Thanks, Kruk." "Go on, lad. Run along." said the big orc. Kristian stood up and left the room. Kruk turned to the crewman. "Get Vold and Brakk down here. I need to speak with them." |

Akeld stood up and took a drink from a waterskin he had brought with him before passing it to Nacea. The mercenary leader said "I'm sure once we reach the White Realm we'll learn more about what the job is. This Kassandra is mysterious but I doubt she would keep everything from us and risk the efficiency of the job." Nacea nodded "How can you be so sure Akeld?" The elven man frowned "Gut feeling I guess. That's the only way I can describe it." |

Vold and Brakk entered Kruk's room, having been summoned by the crewman. "You wanted to see us?" asked the captain, his voice more demanding than questioning. "Yes." replied the big orc. "It's about Kristian, or rather what happened to him." "What? What do you know?" demanded Vold, moving forward and instantly becoming far more defensive. "I sensed something when I touched him. It is nothing that can damage him, nor is it a direct threat, but I fear it has something to do with our latest employer. I don't trust her." "You're not getting paid to trust her." snapped Brakk. "What are we getting paid for, captain? Why did we take this job? There would've been others." "Because this woman was offering the most! We're pirates, Kruk, pure and simple. All we do is survive; that's our goal. To live." Kruk smiled ironically. "Sometimes, just surviving isn't enough." ----- Kristian went back onto the deck. He saw that one of the mercenaries was left on the deck, staring off the side of the ship. The boy moved over to him. "What you looking at, sir?" |

Conainn looked around at the boy for a moment before turning back "Just the water." |

Kristian propped himself up and peered over the edge. "I always loved the sea. It's why I was so happy to be taken in by Brakk." |

A small merchant ship departed from the dark elf realm. The prisoner was stored securely within the hold, hidden from view. It would take an extensive search to find him. |

Conainn nodded "Can't say I've been to the Jungles of Mu, but I've been to Ahm-Shere. Spent some time in Verdonsk. You know they say that no enemy has ever breached the walls of Verdonsk. It's true... but a smart enemy just learns to sneak through the door in plain sight." |
