Tales of the Ocean - Corde Maris

[Hannah]

I swallow hard and look up at him, then back at Jack. I hestiate for a moment but know that he will not allow me to stay in here.
Because of that I nod and walk over to the door. I close it quietly behind me and wait; hoping too that it will turn out the way it should be.

[Jacky]

Nearly half an hour passes before Poseidon leaves the hall quietly. As he closes the door behind him he spots his daughter, who's been waiting outside all along. He nods slightly, letting her know that it has been done. "Be carefull, Faith." He warns her in a soft voice, "We can't need any more mistakes now." He touches her shoulder for a moment.. but then walks away, leaving her to take care of it.

[Hannah]

I watch him leave and a small smile touches my lips. "thanks.." I mumble softly before opening the door to the huge hall where we were before. I dont really know what to expect now.. is he alife? is he like he used to be?

[Jacky]

I'm laying in the same position I was before.. only the sickening pale shade of my skin has made place for the tanned color that's usually mine. My heart is beating indeed, slowly and steadily, my chest rising with each breath. I'm asleep though.. my eyes still closed.

[Hannah]

I look over to Jack and see his chest rise with each breath. A broad smile comes onto my face as I walk over to him, trying to make no sound to make sure I wont wake him up.
For more then an hour I stand there, watching him sleep, watching over him. Then I walk over to my throne, since that is the only chair in the room. Once I sat down I look over to Jack one more time, before I fall asleep. The first time since weeks that I sleep well, without being haunted of nightmares

[Jacky]

Somewhat later I wake up suddenly, sitting up with a jerk and my eyes snapping open. "Gah!" I look around myself, having lost all sense of orientation. I scramble onto my feet and draw my sword which is still by my side somehow. Holding it in front of me to protect myself.. I realize that I"m not where I remembered to be.

I frown.. last thing I remember was the Pearl, the Kraken, it's breath and those jaws and now.. "Where the heck am I?" I speak out loud.

[Hannah]

I do not awake when he speaks out loud, nor by the noice of his moving. I am sleeping with a smile on my face, knowing he will be back when I awake.
My feet are over one armleuning of the throne, my head resting against the other one.

[Jacky]

I hear the slightest movement behind me, and I spin on my heels, pointing my sword in that direction. On the other side of the room.. I spot Faith's figure, asleep on a throne. I frown, my eyes narrowed in wonder. ..How did I get here? I sheat my sword slowly, then warily make my way over to the throne.

I poke her arm. "Wake up."

[Hannah]

I open my eyes slowly when he pokes me. I stretch a little bit and look at the one who poked me. When I spot Jack I smile at him and sit up.
"welcome back.." I say, trying to resist the urge to hug him.

[Jacky]

The frown's still on my face.. and my hand still on the heft of my blade. "What the hell's going on, Faith?" I ask, obviously not knowing what happened.. not even knowing I died. "How did I get here?"
