The Wandering Ghost Ship

## Story

Shadow stood looking out at the ocean when the other three walked over and started to ask him about the sword that he had. They all wanted to know where he got it so he told them that he got it a long time ago when he went back to his mothers cave he found it and kept it with him. He then told them to leave him alone until later. They agreed and then walked away from him and stayed close together at the edge of the base.

Kryis wanted to talk to Shadow and walked right pasted Slonic and the other two to talk to him she wanted to tell him about what Ramity showed her while she was asleep as well as the time it will be there.

As she came closer Shadow turned and then said " I don't know what you have to say to me but I don't think it would be wise to take me with you. I'm at my best right now but i'm also still in the process of unleashing my full power and when that happens I don't know what will happen."

Kryis asked him a few more questions about Shade and the man in armor Shadow what will they do. Will they just sit here and do nothing while you learn to control your power.

"They will help you. The one that I have been talking to is Broventhor my old mentor. The new comer is Shade and he is a one man army but can still be killed with the right weapons. Those weapons are the three that are based off of my sword." Shadow said with a sigh. " No matter how powerful I get I never get to just do my job do I?"

Kryis tells Shadow you are my first ally and the one that I trust the most you are the one that has the most influence of what I do I trust you and power is not always everything remember teamwork is also a key part in everyone staying alive. You are doing your job you have kept me safe the longest and have been there the most for me to tell me that nothing anyone says matters just stay focused.

Kryis walks away and then speaks to Broventhor and Shade and tells them thanks for there help it's very much appreciated.She then looks at them and says what are the both of you and I don't mean to be rude I just mean you Job / Class.

"We are both paladins. I'm a holy paladin and he is a dark paladin" Broventhor says with a smile. " We have similar abilities but when it comes to magics we can use he has black and I have white."

Kryis said welcome to the team both of you then felt the Ghost Ship getting closer and knew she had to take action against it so Kryis asked Broventhor and Shade for help as well as Slonic to help get ride of the Ghost Ship but don't destroy it as the Ship itself is a Summon and it's headed this way. I will go get Drenscal and Mina then we can get going to the other side of the base to the clearing and make sure the ship doesn't cause any damage to the Island.

"We will meet you over there then" Shade said as he and the others warped away to wait for them to get there. They started talking about what they could do to help the group.

Kryis found Drenscal and Mina who were talking about how active the base is now but then Kryis walked over and told them she needs there help and that Broventhor and Shade are waiting along with Slonic at the clearing at the other end of the Island we need to go there as the next thing we need to do needs to be done there so Mina and Drenscal both agree and Kryis said you two ready then lets go Kryis warps herself, Drenscal and Mina to the clearing and then they walk over to Broventhor, Shade and Slonic and then Kryis points at the location the ship is coming from and in the distance the Ghost Ship could be seen.

"We will do what you need us to do. Me and Shade can take a lot of damage before we start to need healing so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that Slonic is slower than all of us so he will be a target until he can get a spirit to help him and he cant hold the spirit for more than a few turns without being overwhelmed." Broventhor says

Kryis told Broventhor Drenscal is still low leveled and Mina is great at healing and can heal the ghost to do damage to it and she agreed about taking it easy with Slonic and then saw the Ghost Ship about to ram the base so they where all ready for the fights to come.

Broventhor and Shade draw their swords and get ready to defend the rest of the group while they get ready to fight. Broventhor waits for the enemy to get there before doing anything.

The Ghost Ship lands and then opens to let people on Kryis and the team enter then they get into a fight with 3 ghosts.

Broventhor casts a barrier magic and raises his defense against all forms of attack. Shade uses a shadow wave attack and manages to hit 2 of the 3 ghosts dealing moderate damage to them. Slonic just defends for this turn.

Kryis uses Flame Wave and does moderate damage and then Drenscal kicks them and barely does any damage then Mina uses Mist Healing and it does massive damage to the 3 ghosts.

Broventhor used his haste magic on the whole group and then he took out one of the ghost with his primary attack. Shade then used his primary attack and finished off another of the ghosts.

Both Kryis and Drenscal defended while Mina learned a new spell called Aura Arc it attacks every enemy on the field and when she used it she kill the remaining Ghost.

Broventhor keeps himself ready for the next battle while he looks around the ship while Shade makes sure that he still has all the things he would need for the next battle.

Kryis and the team walk the whole deck of the ship and no more ghost they head down the stairs into the storage area and encounter 8 Ghosts in the room with 3 treasure boxes in the room as well one in the furthest right corner one in the lower left corner and one in the lower right corner.

Broventhor looks at the ghosts and then looks at Shade who nods to him. They cross their sword and then their turn ends as they work on building up power for a dual attack that will do massive damage to many foes.

Kryis defends for now and so does Drenscal but Mina uses Aura Arc and hit all the ghosts for massive damage.

On their next turn Broventhor and Shade use a cross move called Shadow's light. First a wave of darkness flows over the ghosts and then a blinding flash of light finishes off all of the ghosts in a single move.

Kryis look over at Broventhor and Shade and then smiles before going to the lower right corner to open the chest for 20.000 Gold then moved over to the lower left corner and opened that chest and when she did the Ring she received from the Cave so long ago reacted to what was inside and Kryis opened it and it was another part to the Ring in the box Kryis looked at it and then said there is at least 2 more pieces left before it will be put back together fully.

Then Kryis goes to the furthest right corner and open it inside is a key to the deck to the door on the deck of the ship but first Kryis Kryis adds the Ghost Ship Key to her inventory then goes to the furthest left and sees a door and feels that there is nothing dead in the room so they open the door and to there surprise the see a female Sea Monster she has been locked in the room with no way to escape when Kryis finds the key to undo her chains she thanks Kryis and says my name is Marisol I am a Sorceress and for now I would just like to be alone for a bit when next we meet I will join you. Kryis agreed and let her go as she knew that Marisol only wanted to be free for a bit then they walk back out and down the other set of stairs and see only 5 Ghosts on this floor and no boxes.

Marisol goes and jumps off the side of the ship and waits in the water near the base island to thanks Kryis once again after they are done with clearing the ship.

Shade and Broventhor wave the others on and say that they will take care of this group because they are a lot stronger ghost that the rest they have been fighting so far.

Kryis leaves Drenscal and Mina with Broventhor and Shade to to fight the stronger ghost as Kryis and Slonic go to the deck of the ship and open the door that leads to the captains room. She walks fully into the captains room with Slonic she tells him to be careful then she examines everything in the room in one of the book shelves there was a document about the ship and it's name Articus and how it was named after the captain that died on the ship then she looked a the desk in the room and found another document saying that once the captain died his spirit fused with the ship and he controls it.

Mina attacks the Ghosts with Aura Arc and sees it did not do as much damage. Then Drenscal just defends until he get stronger and can actually do damage.

Shade steps forward and uses a move called Shadow of the Fallen. The darkness closed in on the ghosts and started to deal continuous damage to them. Broventhor uses his basic attack killing two of the ghosts.

Mina begins to chant a new spell called The Strength of Luna it powers up everyone on there side with Holy Based attacks until the fight ends then Drenscal after defending decides to Attack and physically attacks one ghost but just barely killing it.

Kryis knew that the Ship was now a Summon but the real trial will happen once the ship has been cleared of all the ghosts so she sent Slonic to go tell the others hoping they have finished fighting and defeating all the ghosts.

Broventhor finised off the rest of the ghosts and then put his weapon away.

Shadow was about to leave the base when he felt the presence of a powerful entity. He knew the feeling from Shade when he was sealed away. "What do you want?" He asked not bothering to look around. He didn't know her name but knew that she took control of Kryis back then.

Kryis got on to the deck of the ship and told Marisol to get as far from the ship as possible Marisol agreed and said I will be further away but once it leaves I need to talk to you Kryis agreed wait for everyone else.

Mina and Drenscal see Slonic coming down to there group and Mina asks why is he here and not with Kryis.

Ramity walks over and passes Shadow and says to him Kryis is about to take on the Ghost Ship one of the few Unique Summons that other summoners have never obtained as they are way to powerful to be defeated by Normal People and by the way I am one of the Stronger Summons she will obtain the Elven Moon Goddess Ramity she needs you to save her unless you wish to see her dead then you won't have to help her but I though Kryis was someone that was special to you I guess that was a mistake Shadow but if you like I can help you regain your memory but first you need to save Kryis and help her.

Shadow looked at her and then growled. "Look if I go there my power is unstable and I would be unable to keep full control of myself. I would do more damage than good. I don't have any thing I can do to help right now. Broventhor and Shade are both equally as strong as me together. I may be the strongest that is in the group at the moment but with out control over my power I would lose myself and end up killing them all myself. Your power is to weak to help me. The only one that can help me is long lost to me. I know that she lives but I cant find her right now."

Broventhor and Shade follow the others ready to help when they are needed.

Ramity says do you mean your mother Shadow you already meet her along with Kryis and Drenscal on the Mountain Path after you three beat Rexer and he joined her as a Summon she took you and you spoke for a bit then she flew north to go back home. But if you wont go help Kryis maybe I will get your mother to pop over here and help her as she just maybe the real power that chains you down. Ramity then says the two other people that know that are about to fight that Ghost Ship if they die you will not know what I just told you to be truth, Ramity vanishes

Kryis sees the others coming and once they are there she tells them the ship is a Summon all it's own now that the ghost's are dead the real trail begins we need to fight the ship and obtain it as a Summon the first of many Unique Summons to come but be ready as when we leave we will need to on guard as it will be ready to attack us.

"Idiot doesn't even understand what I was saying."Shadow says as he feels his mind start to fade to a black place he takes flight and flys as far away as he can.

Broventhor takes a necklace out of his pocket and hands it to Slonic."Wear this it will keep your mind a bit more free from the spirits."

Ramity back at the Moon hears what Shadow said I will show him an idiot I will take control of his mother and see how fast he will like that and if he will kill her even if I put her in a rage to kill him.

Kryis and everyone else walk off the Ghost Ship then Kryis listens carefully and the former Captain that fused his soul with the ship speaks and says if you can kill me you can have me as a Summon if not I will destroy everything you have built here and everyone that is here good luck Lady Summoner. Before the fight Kryis hears Krace say Summon me I will help you defeat that Ship faster.

Shadow lands on and island far from the base and drops to his knees. "There is a reason why they fear you halfling."He looks up and sees several other dragons that are dead and he knows it. "You living is a curse on this world." "Your just a failed product" "You will never have my respect" He looked around and saw a version of his mother covered in blood. Then all the dragons roared at the same time and attacked him. He lost himself somewhere in the darkness of his heart there. He was long gone when the battle was finished and his form stood covered in wounds and blood. He snarled and then roared out in rage.

Broventhor waits for the group to move again.

Kryis tells everyone to get ready as it's about to attack when they begin the battle Kryis tells Mina and Drenscal to stay as far back as possible then Kryis begins to focus all her summoning powers to call forth Krace to attack the Ghost Ship hitting the Ship many times taking off massive damage to the ship then Kryis moves to the side Krace is at and ends her turn.

Broventhor and Shade take up defending the others in the group from any attack.

Shadow's form takes off into the air and flys back towards the base. Fury blazes in its eyes and the need to kill runs through its blood. If not stopped before getting to the base there would be trouble.

The Ghost Ship turns and attacks Krace leaving itself wide open to an attack that can do massive damage the ship barely scratch Krace before he counters and hit it again doing even more damage to the ship leaving it in out a few hundred health left.

Ramity knew the danger that will happen if Shadow made it to the base so she warped his mother to the base and used her as a shield to protect the base.

Shadow stops he senses the power of the one that tried to mess with him. He focuses on Ramity's power and then with a deep growl is about to warp himself to her when his mind goes blank and is filled with only one saying over and over again. "No more will you kill freely" his body falls down into the water and sinks to the bottom stopping breathing halfway there as he shuts himself down to stop his dark side from being able to do anything. Lost in the black he can do nothing more than keep the dark side at bay. Even his mother would not be able to help and would end up dead. He gains enough control to send a message to Ramity.

\*Your an idiot and you should have killed me before now you have a second chance. Kill me and save them I can't keep my dark side under control for ever. Unless we split I will lose control again and that will be the end.\*

Ramity hears Shadows plea and says this is a easy task that will weaken me drastically I am supposed to fight Kryis but I will become her summon without a fight by releasing your dark side from you completely and you then must go to there aid as your dark side will go after the first people it sees and I will not let Kryis be killed because of your lack of care and neglect so here goes.

Ramity appears and next to Kryis as the fight continues Krace kills the Ghost Ship and it becomes Kryis's first Unique Summon The Ghost Ship Articus when the ship then follows Krace away to The Summon World Kryis speaks to Ramity and Ramity said I will be your summon after this but I need your help in releasing Shadow's Dark Side from him so lets begin.

Ramity and Kryis begin to focus all there energy on Shadows location and they use all there power to split the dark side from Shadow and are successful in doing so then Ramity now terrible weakened said take me as your summon Kryis and without skipping this chance Kryis touches Ramity and Ramity becomes a summon just for her and Kryis also learns Lunar Beams and Lunar Rays as a bonus to gaining Ramity as a summon as well.

Shadows normal form appears next to Kryis and the Group but she slowly begins to see that something is about to happen.

Shadow was supporting himself on his knees with a fist on the ground. He felt the shadow that was in him leave and form outside leaving him a bit weaker but he knew he was stronger in an all out fight. He stood up and then turned to Broventhor and Shade and said "Get them all out of here now. this fight is mine alone. If I die its up to you to finish this fight" Broventhor nods and grabs Kryis and Mina and carries them away with him back to the base. Shade does the same with the others and then when Shadow is alone he turns his gaze back onto the darkness that was once inside of him. They both draw their swords and get ready to fight. Shadow having the original meant his sword was stronger but he was physically weaker at the moment so the fight could go either way.

Kryis new that Shadow was to weak and that is when Ramity told her go talk to Mina so Kryis spoke to Mina and they walked to the Docks when Kryis spoke to Mina it was actually Ramity and she told Mina you need to Learn the spell Lunar Healing if Shadow has any chance to Survive that fight so Ramity as Kryis touches Mina and then Mina begins to chant the spell and after a few minutes time learns Lunar Healing that has the power of the Elven Moon Goddes and it will keep Shadow at Full Strength for the whole fight and then once it ends one of his friends will need to head over there and give him his potion to really heal him better. Broventhor and Shade over heard Kryis (Ramity) and Mina and everything they said. Then Marisol appeared behind Kryis and said I saw the summon fight your amazing but I can't join you just yet as an ally just yet I want to feel released and happy for a bit before I come back to help you. Kryis (Ramity) shook her head yes and told her to watch herself out there and Marisol left happy.

Shadow knew what they would try to do and knew that it would backfire. His body started to get weaker since his blood still rejected magic of any kind. He focused and was able to keep his strength. He would need a little bit of time for the magic to actually help him so he started to hold his own and keep the dark him from doing to much damage to him.

Ramity leaves Kryis's body and goes to the Summon World then Kryis and Mina head back into the base hoping they helped Shadow out at least a little bit.

Shadow and his darkside start to trade blows. For the first while Shadow is on the losing end but after a few hours of the fight Shadow can feel his strength returning and starts to gain the upper hand on his foe but the fight still lasts the rest of the day before he finishes his foe off and then falls to the ground passed out.

Kryis sent Broventhor and Shade to go check on Shadow while she spoke to Selian as she was sent by Ramity to protect the base.

Broventhor and Shade started to drag Shadow back to the base but stopped back in the woods and left him in the clearing so that he could recover.

Kryis speak to Selian hoping she would listen to the fact that she will be a valuable assist to the team and not only to the team but for Shadow to know you are still alive you can help him with his memories as they are all foggy so please for once think about Shadow for once and not your pride as a Dragon.

"Shadow wont even know who I am at this point. His memory of me is long gone." She said as she stood up to get ready to leave when a voice came from behind them.

"Your wrong on that point mother. I remember better than you think I do. But I am losing my self all the time. The memories that I have had for so long don't match to reality. I'm not sure what is true anymore. If you feel that you need to go then do it and I won't care. You are not the mother that I remember anyways. She would never have even though to leave me for a second." By the time that he was done there were tears in his eyes and he turned and limped away from them both. Broventhor started to walk with him only to find a sword at his throat. "Just leave me alone I'm sick of all of these damn lies. My memory is wrong all the time so I don't know who to trust." Shadow then took flight and flew off into the ocean to get away from everyone.

Selian watched him and then looked to Kryis with tears in her eyes and asked "How long has this been going on?"

Broventhor stands there shocked by Shadow's reaction.

Kryis told Selian that this all began after I was taken to The Summon World by Krace he felt useless that he couldn't protect me then it got worse when He Sacrificed his life to Save Mina and Qahron from a Wraith that was very much stronger then them and everyone else he turned himself to stone to save everyone then when I went to the place he was put to Stone I went there to save him but my birth father Haku the Wraith Summon attacked the group while Shadow fought the one that would have kill Mina and Qahron alone once Shadow defeated the Wraith he was about to die when Slonic asked if I wanted to save him I said yes and I turned Shadow into a temporary Summon and he left for the Summon World and Trained to get Stronger but came back and helped us not only defeat Bakotar the Elemental Dragon but also his father Drelon defeating them both and I obtained Bakotar as a Summon as well. But it got even more worse steadily more and more here and me and the Eleven Moon Goddess Ramity decided to remove the dark part of Shadow from him as it was slowly gaining more and more power over him so we separated Shadow with his dark side now only leaving him the way he is you need to help him Selian no matter what he needs you even if you won't help us be there for Shadow he needs you now more then ever before.

Selian listend to the whole tale and then spread her wings. "Your a foolish young one. But I'm happy to be there for him and I'm going to help him now. Also if that goddess ever comes near me again I will kill her for what she tried to do. She pushed him and then put me here as a buffer between you and him."She then took to the air flying after Shadow.

Kryis kept quite as the Goddess Selian was mad at was Ramity and Ramity is now one of her summons in the Summon World so after Selian was gone after Shadow. Kryis went to relax in a house that was made for her and she walked inside and went to relax and told herself I will go take a nap until Selian and Shadow came back.

After a while of flying Shadow lands on an island and the sat down waiting for his mind to clear a bit. It took a few more minutes but Selian manages to find his island and lands near him waiting for him to talk with her. He looks at her and then say "What do you want its not like you care to help me."She shakes her head and then says "I'm sorry you had to go through all of this."

Kryis went to go lay down and fall asleep when Ramity knowing what Selian said to her would effect Kryis warped her to The Summon World to get a proper sleep Krace and the other Summons agreed that Selian was way to harsh on Kryis as she was not the one at fault but they all agreed that one day Selian will have to do the same choice and if she she makes the wrong choice it will all be on her and she won't be able to blame anyone but herself and the Summons all agreed that it was all Selian's fault because if she was a proper mother Shadow would not be the way he is.

Ramity sends a message to Selian saying everything that happened to Shadow was not Kryis's fault but your lack of being a proper mother that made him this way and your mad because me and Kryis decided to save him your a pathetic choice for a mother and I only had you as the shield for Kryis's Base because you are someone that Shadow will not kill as I did not want Kryis to die as she is all that is left of the summoners and she is also someone that Shadow is very close to and like a father figure too I hope he hears me speaking to you as you don't deserve any chances to redeem yourself take the blame yourself instead of blaming someone else. Ramity then ends all contact with Selian and since there is no more temporary summons only a summoner and summons she and Shadow would not be able to enter if they wanted.

Shadow growls and then sends back \*Your wrong I will kill her if I'm pushed that far. When I was lost I would have killed every one in my way even you. From now on just stay out of my life and keep Kryis safe yourself. I'm not your play thing.\* He looks at his mother and then says " As for you I went through a lot and now you think you can make it better."

"No Shadow I know I cant ever make it better I'm just here for you to take out the rage that you feel on. Do what you want and then I will leave if thats what you want." " Mother your stupid and thats not what I want I just want to be useful but every time that I get there someone comes and proves that I'm still useless. I'm just done and I quit being her guard I can't help her anymore. I'm of no use to that group anymore so I am leaving now and never coming back." He then sent a message to Kryis " I'm sorry but I have to stop this I can't help you anymore and those that you travel with will be better than I am and don't bother coming after me since I will not be easy to find even for your summons after this." He then masks his energy and other ways to trace him. He then took flight and flew south with out stopping and soon was out of sight and untraceable.

Selian sighs and then lays down. She had failed her family again. \* You have no right insulting my family like that since you have no clue what I have had to do just to keep him alive. Just leave him alone he will come back on his own. If you need my help then I'm here. as for the blame for what Shadow has gone through that I leave with the way this world is now days not with Kryis. She has done all she can just to keep his kind living much like I have. I only called her foolish because she works her self far to hard and need to rest more and let the others help her more."

As Ramity is watching Kryis Krace tells Selian that you think Kryis doesn't ask for help she is gathering all her allies so she can protect them but also lessen the burden in her with having to keep everyone alive and Shadow was her first ally someone that was very close to her like a father figure and the others are always there for her as well true Kryis needs to let others help her more but what you need to see Selian is that Kryis's parents and all the people in her village are dead her birth father is the Wraith Summon Haku & Her Birth Mother is the Panther Summon Nefertina. Her goal is to see all races live together without fighting while you were at her base did you see any fighting with all the people there all the Humans. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, & Orcs along with the few unique raced people I will give you that answer Selian it's no because not everyone in every race wants war they want peace so see Kryis's goal though it was to get revenge on the people that destroyed her home it changed to wanting to protect the people she cares for the most her allies.

Try to see that Kryis did not go alone after her summons she has support almost everytime so she is not pushing everyone away she is keeping them close to her. If you truly want to help her go and do what your son was doing and that was protecting her and her allies.
