Gabriel sighed, trying to ignore Leo. The spirit was more than a little chatty, and Gabriel just didn’t know why. Part of him wished he could just shut the gate on the zodiac spirit, the other half wished that he didn’t need the spirit. And a small part of him was glad for the spirits presence. But that didn’t mean he wanted the spirit around all the time. The pompous, somewhat arrogant spirit just seemed to like to torment him, even in the littlest ways. ”We keep in touch… its not the best but we sought different things.” Gabriel said softly, looking away from Leo, the spirit was grinning. Gabriel didn’t particularly like that. Who knew what he had planned?
”We might have the same magic, but the thing with Celestial magic is that it can be completely different between users. Michael’s is more mythical. Mines more zodiac in nature.” He said, flicking a glance to Leo again who appeared suddenly sombre, transfixed by the island. He followed the spirits gaze, seeing that some of those on the ship were getting ready to depart on the ships boats towards the island.
”We should probably follow suite.”
Michael seemed to squirm slightly, his own gaze flicking towards the island. The thought of going on there was suddenly overwhelming and yet, there had to be answers there, didn’t there? He looked back to Gabriel and zev, [color=lighrgreen]”y-y-yeah… “[/color]

Keeping an arm around Jasmine just in case the girl succumbed to her song, Penny kept her gaze on both of the exceeds, the small fiesty one seemed quite angry still, and clearly ready to destroy them. Penny had faith in her song and with relief the little exceed finally succumbed to the song. Not particularly worried that either exceed would wake- the other one sluggishly reached out to try and stop the smaller one from hitting the ground, but merely ended up falling down beside her.
Satisfied that both exceeds were out for the count, Penny ceased her song and set out a heavy sigh, looking over to Jasmine to make sure that she was alright. Satisfied that she hadn’t been affected too much by her song, Penny moved over to the exceeds, crouching down and examining them. ”they seem alright. I should have warned you, but I thought it best to get them asleep as soon as possible. We can’t leave them here.”{/color] She sighed, glancing around them, and found herself pleasantly surprised to see that the fish had all been knocked out as well.
She hadn’t planned that, but it was a nice side bonus. ”Well, thats probably the best we can do for now. They’ll stay asleep until I wake them.” She said, before looking back to Jasmine. [/color=coral]’i think we need to take the exceeds back to the guild, but we need to return to the town, let them know they are safe from the fish for now. If they want to deal with them now, they can.”
Every time the angry little exceed would get out of hand, Penny would simply put her back to sleep. It was oddly exhausting, and Penny was relieved when they reached the guild. Even then, she had to still keep the small exceed under wraps, the older and bigger Exceed seemed somewhat reasonable, although Penny was sure that that was because he was protective of the smaller one. Wondering what was going on there, if there was something happening with the two exceeds- perhaps she was his daughter? There was a thought. She hadn’t imagined exceeds breeding. Did not know it was possible on earthland.
During their journey back to the guild, the smaller exceed spent her time being carried by either Jasmine, or the bigger exceed- who Penny came to know as Ignatius. And the smaller one was called Rajah. Ignatius was easy to get along with, although he did have a little bit of a temper. Mostly whenever Penny refused to wake up Rajah.
Even as they neared the guild, Penny spoke with the red exceed, who was currently sullen. Jasmine had Rajah, and Ignatius didn’t like that. He only seemed happy whenever he was holding the little exceed, as if only he could keep her safe. ”What were you two doing? It seemed that you were waiting for us.”
”because we were.”
Penny sighed. It seemed the exceed was going to give her as little as possible. ”Why?”
”Exceeds need slayers.” Frowning, Penny pondered over those words. They needed slayers? Besides Nolan and Doltan, she didn’t know any exceeds that were paired with non-dragon slayers. Why would a Phoenix slayer need an exceed?
[color=colour]”Or?”[/color]
”Just the way it is.” Ignatius said grumpily, glancing around as if seeking out Jasmine and Rajah.
”Why us?”
Ignatius feel silent, and looked back to Penny as if not sure how to respond. He blinked slowly, and seemed perplexed that she didn’t know the answer. ”A friend suggested I might find a partner in a Phoenix slayer. I know not why Rajah wishes to pair.” he seemed troubled by that, ”But Rajah normally gets what she wants.” He fell silent, and sullen, looked away.
Penny frowned, and fell silent as well, thinking on his words. ”and the dragons?”
Ignatius seemed hesitant to say anything, ”If I tell you, will you wake Rajah up? I can reason with her… “
Not sure if she should be making deals with the exceed, Penny hesitated. ”Well, okay.”
Ignatius watched her a moment or two, a rather serious expression on his features before he nodded slowly. ”Because bad things will happen if we aren’t there. I don’t know what, its just what I have heard.”
Penny didn’t like that answer, but she didn’t pressure him. Falling silent, she let her thoughts flow. She hadn’t wanted to go to the island… she didn’t think she’d do anything good by being there. The fact remained that she was still frightened about what her magic might do. Using it like she had been wasn’t as daunting, but going to the island where there would be who knew what magic there…
Standing, she moved away from the exceed and a little way a way, her thoughts twisting knots in her stomach. Damien’s words echoed in her mind and it took all her strength not to react to them once more. Was the fear too great? And if it was, what right did she have to be an S class, let alone in a relationship with him? And Ariel… her hands clenched into fists, Penny gritted her teeth. She wanted to be able to fix things there, even if she didn’t know how. And who knew how the island would affect her?
”this is not what I wanted.” she said furiously to herself. She felt like she was being backed into a corner, and that made her angry. She had no choice- it was clear she had to go. If she didn’t and if her friends, her family, got hurt because she didn’t… she would never forgive herself.
Frustrated, she made her way over to Jasmine, and with a few muttered song lyrics, she woke the exceed up. ”Jasmine… i have to go after those going to the island… if you want to come, you can, but it will be dangerous. And I’m not sure if I can carry you the whole way, i might need to use my magic. I’m not sure what to expect.”
Ignatius followed her, the exceed relieved that Rajah had been woken, and he spoke to her. ”Rajah?”
Jamie walked across the deck, towards Jarvis and Amelia, smiling at both of them. ”Looks like we are ready to go.” She said, pleased to be moving. She reached out with casual ease, taking jarvis’s hand in hers, and reached out to give Amelia a one armed hug. ”We had best get going. I don’t know what we’ll face on the island, but I’m sure everything will be okay.”
Jarvis looked over to jamie as she approached them, more than a little bit of concern on his features which he quickly smoothed away. ”Amelia?”
Sasha looked over to Ariel, her expression serious. She nodded slowly, returning her gaze back to the island. ”It does.” she said softly, ”Its going to be hard on the island… The magic is thick and unstable- you can feel it.” She said softly, falling silent. The feeling the island was giving out… it almost felt animalistic in nature, as if a wounded animal was trying to heal, trying to fight back against something that was hurting it.
It felt wild and unpredictable and not for the first time Sasha wondered at the wisdom of going to the island. And yet what choice did they have? This was something they had to do. She’d just have hope. It was all she had at this point and the belief in her comrades. As she watched the island, for a brief moment she was sure that she saw someone, standing on the edge of the water and staring out at them. A small woman with blonde hair, in a white and pink frilly dress. And then she blinked, and the image was gone.
Sasha starred, but it was Patrick beside her that said softly ”Marvis Vermillion. She still watches over the island to this day… “ His voice was sombre, the youthful looking man watching the island as well. Sasha sighed softly, letting her gaze slip away from the island as Ferrin caused some small amount of the sea to become glass. Sighing once more, a little heavily she watched as he began to cross it. She knew she couldn’t stop him, but wished that he would wait.
But she didn’t say anything, knowing full well that wouldn’t get her anywhere. The use of such magic however caused her to frown, hoping that he wouldn’t tire himself out before they faced whatever they were going to face on the island. As their boats slowly made their way to the water, the feel of tainted and unstable magic grew stronger until Sasha was sure the hairs on her arms and back of her neck would never stand down again.
The entire feeling of it was overwhelming and making her feel sick to her stomach. She let out a few deep breaths, sure that she was going to succumb to the feeling. Whatever the island had been, it now seemed a source of darkness and hatred. And then… it was like something washed over her, taking that away and leaving a light feeling of happiness and hope. Almost as if they had crossed some threshold, and entered the protective magic of the island- or perhaps those that resided on the island, Fairy’s of old. Whatever it was, Sasha was thankful for it as the boat continued to draw nearer to the land.
Gabriel and Michael
Gabriel sighed, trying to ignore Leo. The spirit was more than a little chatty, and Gabriel just didn’t know why. Part of him wished he could just shut the gate on the zodiac spirit, the other half wished that he didn’t need the spirit. And a small part of him was glad for the spirits presence. But that didn’t mean he wanted the spirit around all the time. The pompous, somewhat arrogant spirit just seemed to like to torment him, even in the littlest ways. ”We keep in touch… its not the best but we sought different things.” Gabriel said softly, looking away from Leo, the spirit was grinning.

Two days later
