Embarking to the Northern Lands

## Story

Kryis an the others get on board the Aldis's Ship and they begin to head off to the Northern Lands that are located to the furthest North of the Land of Orc's.

Shadow and Val stay with each other but the others that came with them group together with Arc. Shadow knows that the group of his friends will be fine as long as they work together but he and Val still need to watch out for them just incase. He relaxes and closes his eyes with a sigh.

"Kryis sure has built a good team. I may just stay back for a while if she keeps getting stronger people." Shadow says with a smile.

Kryis and her allies have a long wait till the ship makes it to the Northern Lands it will take ten days to get there but Aldis said we will have to stop at the Land of the Orcs to keep the engine of the ship running we will need to get fuel from there so that will take 5 days.

Shadow sits up and then looks over the edge of the boat and watches the water for a while. Val nudges him and then says " So why do you stick so close to me?" Shadow turns away and then says "for the same reason that my parents stay around eachother. For protection and because I can relate to you"

Kryis stays under the ship in a room for training inside she takes out a her whip and begins to train to become stronger to not only use her summons and spells but to be a useful attack. She masters the abilities she has then she takes a small break.

Crisin and Ovelia see Shadow talking to Valkyrie and then they walk over to him Crisin tells him I hope you know that once all the fighting is over she will be mine and me and her along with Mina and Ovelia will be going back to the Northern Lands to help lead from there as the people need a real leader someone that doesn't judge based off race.

"Well let me put this to you simply. I'm not here for any one. When the fighting is done i'm leaving all of you far behind me since your all just going to judge me. Your all just like the others. The few that I have met that I will let come with me will likely be dead when all of this is over so I will again be alone. You wont even have a chance to see me before I leave. Val knows where i'm going if you ever need me after than day so you can talk with her but she will know the real reason that your asking trust me." Shadow then stands up and shakes his head. " Your not even worth talking to any more." He jumps off the ship and into the water. When he surfaces he flies into the air and shakes the water off of himself and then sets out flying ahead of the boat at three times the speed its currently going.

Val looks at them and then says " Your going to have to tell Kryis about this you know. He wont be coming back anytime soon. You really should think before you say something stupid to someone that has seen the worst this world has to offer for most of his life." She then stands up and shoves past them to go and talk with Arc.

Arc having watched what just happened sighs and then looks off in the direction that Shadow flew. " I knew that someone would screw thing up with him on this trip" he mutters to himself.

Crisin says who invited you along Arc if I remember correctly Kryis made a list of who is going did you sneak aboard to get stronger.

Both Ovelia and Crisin then head to the training room where Kryis is and stay there as she learns her next whip attack called Twisting Break it grips the ankle of the enemy and it breaks the ankle leaving the enemy limp and it does moderate damage.

"A list she may have had but Shadow is unstable at the moment and i'm not letting him out in this world without being there to be able to stop him if he goes crazy." Arc say.

Shadow finds an island that the ship will not be going near and lands on it and then draws his sword and his lance and sticks the lance in the ground. He then uses the technique that Slovnic tough him and makes a split form of himself and then they start fighting all out. "I'm not staying here with them when its over. I'm leaving this time for good. Sorry Kryis but the only way to get to me will be Val since someone will have to take Slovnic's place." His next blow breaks the lance and ends up killing the split form. He takes a step back and looks a bit suprised about it. "I see now why they feared me."He turns away and then takes to the air again. He quickly locates his position to the ship and then returns to the speed that he was going at flying in a direction away from the ship. " They can keep their time to themselves. I'm not going to be weak for them. I will only get stronger the longer that I live." He tells himself. " I found what I needed in the soul world and now all I have to do is use it."

Kryis says nothing but then masters her new ability before she stops training for a few days then she goes to relax outside with Mina who both can sense that Crisin and Shadow don't like each other bit more that it's because of something Crisin said to Shadow.

After a while Val and Arc sit down with a sigh. " When do you think he will come back." "We will find him waiting for us when we get where we are going."

Kryis thinks about what will happen the moment they make it to the Northern Lands but knows that they need to make a small stop at the Land of the Orcs for fuel so they can make it to the Northern Lands. Kryis talks to Crisin who admits that he told Shadow the truthbut hasn't told her as he doesn't want to shock her out of leaving.

Shadow lands on another island far off of the ships course and takes a quick rest.

Val stands up and walks over to watch the waves go by. " You know that he plans on leaving us all behind him Arc. Hes only sticking around to help Kryis and when he is not needed he will be leaving. He told me about it a while ago."

Crisin tells Kryis that he is actually older then he really looks and that his people put him to stone to help his future wife as he is the only one that can help her and he wanted to be the first ally she obtained and not Shadow but there was nothing that could be done. He tells her that he is a Shapeshifter and that his ability to shape shift lets him turn into dragons. He also has some dragons but not all he has the Fire , Water and Holy Dragons, He knows that there will be much hardship but he wants to keep her safe and if Shadow feels threatened by him and his powers he can just head back to base as Kryis will be getting alot of guardians and alot of people and summons that can help him and if his mind id forgetful you Kryis can still summon him as he is a SUMMON!!

Slovnic warps to be next to Shadow and they talk for a bit. "Did you tell Val about the blades effect on you yet?"

"She knows that it restored me to being a true being not a summon anymore. I'm also sure that Kryis has that figured out since the connection that she has with me due to being a summon is gone now. But as for the rest of its effects only me and you know at the moment. I'm keeping it that way until I know if this can actually do what I was told that it can." He says holding up the necklace that Arc returned to him.

"Just be careful they think your still a summon. They fear for Kryis they still dont care about you and they never will no matter how much you do for them." Slovnic then warps back to base.

Shadow stands and looks back towards the boat and shakes his head. "They are no different from the others. With a blade that taps into my lifeforce I can't be a summon or it would outright kill Kryis so that was fixed when I gained full control over this blade"

Kryis stays quite then communicates to Krace that says Shadow broke his bond to the Summon World but in order to do that he had to leave a less stronger clone to be the summon the summon still has the same abilities but the Shadow traveling with you is Shadow.

Shadow lands on the shore of the Land of the Orcs and then walks to a point where he can rest for a while and think things over.

"Kryis has to know by now that Shadow has isolated from her and her summon realm" Val say to Arc with a sigh " I wish we could talk him out of leaving but he is set in this right now. Maybe Kryis can talk with him about it."They both nod at this and then go back to watching the water.

With the Land of Orcs nearly in sight Kryis can tell that not only did she not train much but she can tell there will be trouble between Crisin and Shadow at least till they can find a way to help each other.

Val and Arc sigh when they see the Land of the Orcs in the distance and know that Shadow will be there waiting for them. " I will go and find him you talk with Kryis. If I dont talk him down things could get bad." Arc says.

Kryis sits back and lets the wind blow at her hair for a bit before seeing the ship is close to docking at the Land of Orcs Kryis just hopes she can get to the Northern Lands without trouble.

When they dock Arc jumps off the ship and goes out looking for Shadow.

Val gets off the ship and goes and set up a small area that they can rest for a bit and then waits for Kryis to come by.

Crisin along with Ovelia and Mina stay onboard the ship with Conner, Kasia, Pablo and Aldis that leaves Drenscal, Desaan, Vali, Isabella, Ingrid, Xebec, Drelon, Shade and Carmen.

Carmen, Ingrid, Isabella, and Xebec stay onboard as they know that they will not be staying long. Drenscal and Vali gets off to protect Kryis while Drelon, Shade try to find Val and Arc.

Kryis sees Valkyrie then goes to sit down and asks what is going on and what happened between Crisin and Shadow.

Valkyrie starts by saying " well Shadow is not quite stable mentally at the moment and when Crisin just walked up and then says that you and he will just up and leave him when the fighting is over it crushed him. Shadow was convinced that he meant that you were just going to abandon him just like everyone else. He has been through a lot his his short life and to hear something even close to that when he already figures that every one he cares about will be killed off in the rest of the fighting that will be going on. He has been planing on leaving this time since he learned how to travel through time on his own from Slovnic. But he is so convinced that he will be alone in this and what Crisin said didn't help in any way. Arc went off to find Shadow to make sure he doesn't do something stupid."

Arc finds Shadow by a river and they sit down and talk for a while until Drelon and Shade show up and then they head back towards the ship.

Crisin meant that me and him would make sure that everyone is able to see what I see his dream is my dream my dream is to see everyone in peace and that means no judging based off race. We wont be leaving just Crisin, Ovelia, Mina and me will make sure it stays that way that no one gets judge I do care I just want the race wars to end and they will when we are done traveling.

"Shadow is young and even though he may know that he still doesn't understand it."

"I understand it just fine. I always have and I always will. But in the end I will have no place in this world when that is finished. I'm a fighter from the day that I was born. The statement was simple enough but I took it wrong. Crisin is a fine person to you people. But he had better just stay away from me from now on. When the fighting is over I will take my leave from this time stream and find one where I am need just like Slovnic did. Look Val I was wrong to act the way that I did but I just cant bare to lose those that I love." Shadow says as he walks up with the others.

Kryis interrupts and says all the people from the Past and Distant Past will be staying here from now on there is no going back only the Future can be gone to and that is only a 1 time thing.

So leaving and becoming what you believe you can try that but I know this world is on it's last legs if we don't stop everything soon and whats to come will be some of the hardest things we have ever had to face so if your to scared go run an hide as I am getting back onboard the ship and heading there anyway with or without help.

Kryis walks off and back to the ship with the others waiting till morning to eventually come so they can leave for the Northern Lands.

Shadow waves the others away from his and Val. He then sits down next to her and sighs. " Look the reason I want to stay close to you is that even though your from a diffent time than me I have been and idiot and fell in love with you. I dont want to lose you but I also cant stand to see you get injured. I just dont know how to deal with it at this time. I just dont want to lose you." Val smiles at him and then says " it will be okay. Lets just go and join them on the ship for now. They will need us."

Kryis then goes to her room and relaxes in her room and then Mina as well as Crisin and Ovelia all come to relax outside her room to make sure no one else bothers Kryis no matter who it is.

Shadow and Val go and stand next to the rail of the ship not near anyone. They look out at the water and then Shadow says " I'm sorry for how I reacted earlier but I will do my best to not do it again. I'm just in a hard point. I'm stronger than most of them but I know that there are a lot more things that I have to learn."

Kryis falls asleep and then appears in the Summon World and she speaks to Krace that tells her that Shadow has his life and you have yours Kryis agrees then can tell that the Shadow that he left behind was near that is when Krace said this Shadow is just a clone but this Shadow has the same potential as the Summon on had.

Kryis said I am happy he is back but I can tell that there is other issues that I can't help him with even if I wanted too he doesn't even know that I will still do my best to make this world more safe for all the races and the ones that believe that after all this fighting that there can't be a world where everyone can be treated equally.

Shadow looks out to the sea and then says " I will have to tell her at some point. I just hope that I dont lose faith in her goal before that time." Val puts a hand on his shoulder and then say " I will be here with you for as long as I can."

Kryis tells Krace that if Shadow can't see what I am doing anymore as it being right maybe he should leave and see the world the ones that treated him badly as they will want to kill him the others at my base don't want that if that is what he believes I truly believe that I won't need his help anymore and I can do it from here on out with people that believe in what I am doing and not with people that can't tell that I am just trying to make it better then he doesn't need to stay.

Krace tells her your right and your stronger then when you first started and you will meet many strong people at the Northern Lands.

Shadow shakes his head and then looks to Val and says " I just don't know if i'm needed here anymore. I know what I can offer but in the world they want i'm not going to be able to fit in. They just dont get that." He turns away from the water and then says " I'm way to use to fighting to just give it up anytime soon."

Krace tells Kryis don't worry and get a nice rest then wake up and have a great day.

Kryis tells him alright then wakes up and opens up her door and slowly goes onto the deck of the ship without waking the others up and relaxes on the other side of the ship just letting the wind hit her face gently.

"I think that I have already lost my faith in her goals. Its just not what i'm looking for anymore." Shadow says. "Well what if we talk to her about this she may be able to set something like a arena up? That would give you a place to fight when you want to but it would also still be a peaceful thing." Shadow nods at this but says nothing.

Kryis watches the water walks to the other side of the ship to the front of the ship on it's Balcony looking down into the water passing Valkyrie as she walks by.

Shadow hangs his head and then walks away from them both. " I know she has no need of me here anymore. I'm just lucky that she let me stay this long." Shadow mutters to himself as he walks. When he is as far away as he can be he looks up to the sky and then sighs.

Kryis knows that Shadow is watching but says nothing then can sense Valkyrie walking towards her.

Val stands next to her and looks out at the water for a while before saying anything. " Shadow is having trouble with the fact that when this is done the need for fighting will be gone. All he has know is fighting. It is how he has lived his life. If you could do something about that he would find it easier to live in the future of this world. The problem is making fighting peaceful. I know that you will make this world better but I will stay by his side in the end. Much as all those that you know will stay by your side. If we have to we will leave if only to keep all of you safe from his natural aggression."

Kryis sighs then says I already planned to have that happen as some people would have a hard time stopping completely from fighting so I already planned that out you do see that the space there is to little now and we are headed to the Northern Lands to not only get more land once we are done here but also allies it's not my fault that there isn't enough land at the base. If you plan on blaming me for this don't if Shadow knew of Lands that can be added to help make the base bigger he could have said something.

"I wont blame you for anything other than the faults that you can fix. I can talk with Shadow about other lands that he knows of but dont hold out hope for him knowing many that you can get to anytime soon." Val then looks away and says " Shadow has also fallen in love with me so this may end up being a problem for him. I will keep an eye on it but I dont know what to do if it does become a problem."

What faults do I have says Kryis to Valkyrie and congrats on him admitting he loves you and he will get his arena the moment I get more land to add to the base and if you want maybe a place for the two of you as well that way you can have your eyes on him at all times.

Kryis slowly walks away from Valkyrie.

Val smiled and then walked back to Shadow but called over to Kryis saying " everyone has faults young one even I have a few. You will find them with time." She then stands next to Shadow and sighs.

Kryis goes past the others in front of her room and goes back to sleeping.

Val and Shadow stay on the deck of the ship and dont bother going to sleep since they dont need it for a few days.

Kryis woke up in the morning and noticed the others where awake and outside so she went to the training hall to learn more and when she did she learned a new whip attack called Angers Will it makes Kryis berserk and does double the damage the most attacks.

Shadow and those that he knows personally are all on the deck and Shadow is giving them few tips on how to use their weapons and skills a bit more effectively.

Kryis walks out the training room on the ship and heads up to the deck of the ship and to the front to watch how close they are to the Northern Lands knowing they are now 4 days away she knows that there will be many people but also many challenges ahead.

"Damn it Shade if you dont move your feet to the right place the whole damn stance is good for absolutely nothing. You want to just be a shield well then stand still and stay in front of people. If not then get the footing right." Shadow growls at Shade who has fallen to the ground a ninth time in the last few minutes of training by tripping himself and you Drelon the lance work is sloppy. How do you think you will hit someone if they can simply step to the side and then snap your lance in half. The only ones here that have gained any skills are Val and Arc. They have the understanding of what i'm saying though. Why cant you understand the motions that I have shown you. What do I need to do to help you learn this?" He turns and looks out at the water with a sigh.

Can't even relax Kryis says then turns around and tells Shadow in a very angry manner you were at one time just like they are just training how about you remember the time it took you to train your abilities and train them normally eventually all people learn some just need more time and last I checked Shadow Drelon is your father and Shade is your Uncle how about you show some respect.

Shadow shakes his head and then says " Yeah well I know a thing or two about these two. They learn fast but your right I should take a bit more time. Sorry to have disturbed you." He shakes his head and then says " lets start over. "I don't want you to die while we are out there" he goes through several complex moves for both of them and then stands back to watch them. He stops Shade and then shows him just what he needs to do to not trip and fall on his face. He then shows Drelon the movement that he keeps getting wrong and then tells them "you just need to keep working on that on your own if you want to get better. When you master these skills come back and see me and I will teach you more if I can." They all leave Shadow alone and he keeps looking out at the water.

Kryis goes back to the front of the ship and then hears Crisin and Ovelia along with Mina coming to talk to her and she tells them she is fine but they know she isn't then Ingrid comes near them and says alot will change when they reach the Northern Lands hope we are all ready when that time comes.

Shadow sighs and then says "I don't know if I can will chose Kryis or Val is something comes up at this point." he shakes his head again to clear his thoughts and then jumps into the water to have a swim for a while.

Kryis says lets hope that everyone will be ready and level headed or else we will have a rough time there until everyone is on the same page and ready to help each other no matter what.

Shadow stays in the water for about half the day. when he comes back up he takes to the air and flys past the ship so that he can spend some time alone to think.

Val comes back on the deck and then sits down and smiles as she just rests for a bit.

Kryis along with Crisin, Ovelia, Mina and Ingrid all think why do most of the people here think that Kryis is so frail that she can't take a hit when in all honesty she has done so much when Shadow was not around and even when he was there she showed how determined she is to make sure that they make it out safely and each time they did she was even there in the beginning when he was weak yet he thinks that she can't control her powers or that she can't do what everyone wants look how many things she has done and then look at the things he has hers outweighs his far more then others have seen in a long time.

Drenscal and Desaan along with the others all say something will happen soon and it won't be pretty.

Shadow lands and then starts to run through his memories of his time with Kryis. He can tell a few are messed up but he can tell that she has no need of him as a bodyguard. " But thats was why I was with her at one point. Now why am I with her. I'm another ally of hers. She needs all the strength that she can gather and I'm strong in more ways than even I know. I will stay with her but the others can take blows for her if she needs it. I'm going to protect Val." He takes to the air again and flies slowly back to the ship.

With three days to go Kryis remembers what Xaria had learned with her whip attacks and now Kryis attempts and succeeds in learning all three of the attacks that Xaria has as well starting with Beastmaster's Assault that hits the enemy 4 times and does medium based damage. Then she learns Charmers Slap that Sends a kiss to an enemy then breaks it upon getting close to the enemy doing multiple hits. then she finally learns Alluring Lash that lets the person blows a kiss and then cuts the kiss hitting multiple enemies.

Upon mastering those 3 abilities she feels even stronger and then head back out to the deck of the ship to relax for the rest of the day.

Shadow lands on the deck of the ship and then walks away from Kryis. He sits down and then closes his eyes and starts to focus on his own mental training.

Kryis walks down once seeing Shadow and says how about a sparing match a friendly dual one on one.

"Sure that will put my mind at rest a lot better than just saying to myself that your stronger." Shadow stands up and then looks at her and says "you lead the way."

Well then lets fight here I will start.

Kryis says I will not hold back then learns the attack Fires Rage and then uses it to make fire appear everywhere and has it surround Shadow and then with each one landing it hits him doing damage and on the last hit Kryis makes a huge ball of fire and sends it right at Shadow.

"Well then I wont hold back either." Shadow mutters to himself and then drawing the Blade of Origins he uses one of his newer moves call Dragon's Spirit. Hes endurance and stamina is tripled while his base speed is doubled. He watches the ball of fire and then jumps forward using the fire ball to hide his movement. Using another of his new move called Shadow Mirror he is able to control his own shadow. He sends his shadow to the other side of where he moved and then lands before taking the next move in his attack move. With a swift hand motion the shadow that he sent to the other side rushes forward. If it gets close enough to Kryis it will have the ability pin her to the spot. Shadow plans for this to fail and then jumps and aims his main attack at her current position but using a few of the knifes that he carries aims at the point that he calculates that she will dodge to. His main attack is a heavy slash that would do a great deal of damage to Kryis.

Kryis uses another new attack called Freezing Earth it's a combo magic that cracks the ship open and then freezes Shadow and his Mirror self solid then a boulder forms and she shatters the ice in turn sending the Shadow self of Shadow back to him then she warps to the front of the ship but away from his incoming attack.

Shadow having been frozen for a moment took that time to adjust his attack pattern. He waited for a second after the ice was gone and then lifting the Blade in his arm he sends his shadow mirror out into the water so that he can do a complicated move the next time that he needs to. He then flies into the air and then dives down and using several more knifes tries to drive her away from any edge of the boat to keep from having his next move found out. If he can't then he will land and grab her. This is the last of the moves that I will use to give you time to figure out what i'm doing. He thinks to himself.

Kryis uses another combo spell called Cyclonic Whirlpool. Kryis fuses both wind and water to not only send Shadow back but drop his knives and send his shadow self away for good.

"Well then I guess I will stop playing then." Shadow says with a smile he then jumps and vanishes from sight. He lands next to Kryis and slams his fist into her chest sending her sliding back. His next move is a blur. In the span of a few seconds he has drawn several new items out of his cloak. One of the items is the necklace that Scarlet and Arc gave back to him. He puts this on and then looks at the other item. Its a smaller sword that the Blade of Origins but still sharp. He then slides away from Kryis and tosses the second sword into the air. A second version of him forms in the air grabbing the sword and then lands infront of Kryis while bringing the blade down in a slash that will do moderate damage even if it misses since the attack is both physical and sonic bassed. The speed of the sword creates a massive air wave that will still hit Kryis if she dodges the blow. Shadow then uses his most recently mastered skill. Dragon's Hold. This move makes it so that as long as he is still able to fight he cant be pushed around by any amount of magic or physical force. He then looks at Kryis and smiles " I'm only just starting to have fun." He then dashes forward to slide behind the copy of himself and then right into the air from that point to get a better vantage point for his next move " You wont get rid of either of us easy." He calls down to her.

Nice shot your next move can't do anything as I have control now. Kryis says to Shadow before using a guard wind spell called Tornado's Guard it protects the user from any form of attack no matter what and whatever the damage amount from there attacks are is immediately repelled back at the enemy for the same amount of damage.

"Well that would help you if I couldn't do this." Raising his arm again Shadow brings a large amount of air up around him and then smiles. " I don't have to attack you directly when I can just use the same air that you are breathing to crush you." He then increases the air pressure by a factor of three. The weight would not kill her but it will make her movements much harder and make breathing start to hurt after a while. Since its a natural thing to have happen magic cant counter it. "I trained in conditions like this so I can tell you its not easy to get around. But I doubt this will stop you for long."

Not the smartest move you have done says Kryis that is when Elora the Banshee Summon appears and begins to use her Overdrive Shocking Screams attacking me in anyway when that spell is activated immediately summons Elora and has her use her Overdrive without using up my turn and then Kryis goes and recasts Tornado's Guard.

"This is what I really wanted to test. How much can you do to me when I am at my best defensive abilities." Shadow uses three of his skills all at once. The first is Stonewall an ability that takes his normal defense and multiplies it by a factor of 15. He then used his Dragon armor further increasing his defense with another boost of twice his normal defense and the final is his Standing Warrior skill that lets him build up his strength for all the damage that he takes in the time that its active. With all three active they remain active for 8 turns. " Give me your best Kryis I want to know just what you can do. I'm not anywhere near the level that I was even a week ago so lets see what you have for me." He then lands and smiles with a flick of his wrist he banishes the copy of himself and then swings his Blade of Origins to face Kryis. " I'm not your bodyguard anymore i'm just another ally but right now. I'm your enemy."

Shadow let go of his mental holds on his power and then looked at the summon that Kryis has out there. He turns his attention to it and then walks forward and grabs the smaller sword and throws with half of his strength the sword right at the Summon. " Your move" He growls.

Another mistake Shadow you hurt Elora and did damage to her so here she comes Wind Goddess Summon Quinsaya. Kryis senses that Quinsaya knows she is a summoner and said we can talk later about me joining but for now here goes Quinsaya attacks Shadow using her Trident and uses her Overdrive called Winds Awakening to cancel out all buffs and blow away the enemy from the range of the field very far.

Shadow looks at the new summon and then smiles " Well I have had some fun but you wont be getting rid of me like that." He takes the Blade of Origins and cuts his hand with it and then lets the blood flow down the blade and when it starts to shine a bright silver he holds it infront of himself and smiles. " You have never seen my final move because I havent ever used this before. Its called the Origin Blitz." Behind Shadow could be seen the images of thousands of people and at the very back of that group of people was Slovnic and a woman that held his hand. " This is my ture power." Shadow having already been hit by the trident while doing the Blitz Grabs the trident and then smiles he lifts Quinsaya into the air and then throws her behind him and looks at Kryis. " There is little that you can do to me in this state so I will stop this match here since I wont kill you but you cant hurt me anymore. You have gotten a lot better thanks for the warm up I haven't used much of my new power yet."

Kryis says wow that was a good match but I do plan to get even stronger then Kryis talks to Quinsaya and she says that the elemental Gods/Goddesses are mainly Secret Summons as we are hard to obtain so I am glad I could help you and glad to call you Lady Summoner and then hands Kryis a Trident called Quinsaya's Trident and it looks exactly like hers and is mainly used by people of the water or soldiers. Kryis accepts her then sends her to the summon world then goes to relax on the front of the ship.

Shadow takes his leave and then sits back down to meditate again. He spends a few minutes to just clear his mind. After that he just sits there keeping himself calm so that he can focus on mentally training his body.

Kryis relaxes and hears the others coming Mina says we say the match you where very good an you learned alot more you are getting very strong then Kryis replies with yes that is true we should only be two days away from the Northern Lands let hope this goes easy.

Shadow's head turns to the side as Val walks up and sits next to him but he says nothing. "Shadow why are you so calm at a time like this. You know that when we get there anything can happen" "Thats why i'm calm right now."

Kryis gets up and talks to Mina and Ingrid and they tell her to go relax in her room as it will be easier then sitting here and they can talk there privately so lets go there so we can talk. Kryis agrees and then her and them go to her room where Crisin and Ovelia are waiting as well.

"My life will likely not be of much use to her after the strength that I saw in the fight we had but I will stay with her for as long as I can." Shadow says with a sigh.

Kryis and the others begin to talk and Drenscal walks in and hears what Mina and the others are telling Kryis. He hates that they want her to continue to push away Shadow as he has done so to her for Valkyrie so let him have his time with her but she will not have anything more then being just his friend and the father and daughter bond will be broken.

"I also know full well what they are doing with Kryis. They dont want her close to me anymore so I will play along with it but in the end I may have to make a hard choice. If they keep forcing her to push me away i'm sure that I will just leave her when this is all done and find a new home for myself. Maybe go back and become the protector of the village near my old home."Shadow says to Val still calm.

Kryis pops an attitude with Mina and the others and walks out with Drenscal and Desann as they want her to be able to keep all her friends and not leaving one of them alone and to ignore them.

Drenscal and Desann tell them to not talk to Kryis even if it's important all of you made a mistake and now you need to see that Desann locks Mina, Ovelia, Crisin, and Ingrid in the room Kryis was using and said until they can see what they did was wrong they won't be able to leave.

"In the end I dont know that to do so I will just play along with this all for now."Shadow says as he stands up and sighs again he walks over to the back of the ship and then lays down. "I need some rest you should get some sleep as well"

Kryis now staying in the same part of the ship as Drenscal and Desann she goes to sleep and they watch after her until morning where it will be the last day before the landing at the Northern Lands.

Shadow sleeps through the last day with Val watching over him for a while. Val eventually gets up and goes to look at the water for a while.

Kryis can hear the other four wanting out and apologizing for what they did but Drenscal and Desann say prove it that you mean it and that you won't have her pick Shadow over everyone else as she considers everyone the same no matter what.

Mina and Ingrid immediately say that they are sorry and know that pressuring her was wrong so Drenscal lets Mina and Ingrid out the room but Ovelia and Crisin are left inside as they still don't see what the others do so they will be relocked inside till they do.

Val lays down next to Shadow and pulls him close to her and then goes to sleep herself.

Kryis talks to Mina and Ingrid and they apologize to her about what they did when Crisin and Ovelia finally gave in and said we agree we need all the help we can get so we shouldn't push them away.

Drelon walks up and then looks over at the two of them sleeping and smiles. He looks at the water and then sits down to just watch the sky for a while.

Crisin and Ovelia are watched by Drenscal and Desann when they are released to be with the others Kryis walks to the front of the ship and watches as she can almost see the Northern Lands in the distance and knows there will be alot of people to join and alot of people that will be able to help but she senses someone from the past where they will be docking at and hopes it's not someone that will kill them or someone that has had that planned.

"Now when they get here you make sure that you lead the halfling to this clearing so that I can finish what should have been done a long time ago." Kalin says to another man smaller than him as he walks into the woods to stay out of sight. " If you fail I will just kill all of them. They will be no trouble for me."

Shadow jerks awake and looks around. His breath is coming in gasps as he tries to figure out why his body is giving him the feeling of something horrible that will come to pass soon.

Ingrid gets a feeling that there is someone there that she has a feeling she knows and someone that she thinks she is supposed to know in some way.

Shadow stands up waking Val in the process but he doesn't notice that. He looks off at the island and growls lightly. " I don't like this feeling at all." He says after a while.

With the Northern Lands in sight Kryis relaxes and then says to everyone to be ready as we will all be busy as soon as we get there.

Shadow draws his sword and his lance and then looks around he knew something bad was going to happen but to who. He watched as land got closer and saw a man standing in the distance away from where most people would ever look off towards some woods. "He feels like Sol? but Sol is dead. I did that myself."

Kryis hopes everyone will be safe and when the ship lands Kryis feels tense but then relaxes upon seeing someone from the Past waiting for her to get off the Ship so he can talk and apologize to her.
