The begining of a Journey [8/21, sunrise, closed]
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:36:06 am »
The morning air had a hint of a chill as Mika walked up to the boat dock.  Glad for the layers she wore she pulled her jacket tighter around her.  She readjusted her bag on her shoulder and ran her fingers lightly over the pendant that hung about her neck.  The sun was just peeking over the horizon and her steps almost echoed on the wooden surface.  She looked around for a boat, the one she had been told would be waiting for her.  With a light sigh she continued farther out the dock till she arrived at a boat.

Swallow me under and pull me apart
I understand, there's nothing left
Pain so familiar and close to the heart
No more, no less, I won't forget

I thought you said forever over and over
this sleepless night becomes, bitter oblivion
these thoughts run through my head, over and over
complaints of violins... become my only friends"

It looks built in a very ancient method. Mika has a moment to think that this must be what the Greek ships looked like, sailing the Aegean to Troy. A board is slid to the dock, a man holding it steady.

She climbs this boarding plank, and is stopped before the man. He looks pointedly at her neck, moving her collar until he can see the pendant. Mika has a moment to feel uncomfortable at the look of the man, before a lightly tanned hand  closed around the hand that touched her.

The hand is connected to someone very familiar. Hunter's green eyes are gazing at her for long moments before he shifts his gaze to the man. That leaf green gaze hardens, and he addresses the man in a harsh language.

He leads her carefully onto the ship, telling her softly, "Stay at my side. Do not stray far. These men are...rough. They are cursed."

Mika's heart was racing as the man on thye boat studied her.  The uncomfortable feeling was settling over her fast as the hand was placed over her collar.  She was trying to compose herself when the familiar hand was placed over the others mans.  Upon hearing Hunters voice she turned to him a look of releif clearly coming over her face.  She took his hand and squeezed it before nodding at his words, "Okay, I will stay right here, by you." She stammered back.   Her face telling the tale of how happy she was to see him.  She looked at him and whispered.  "I'm glad you are here."

Hunter slid an arm around her both as a means to keep her safe and near, but also as a claiming gesture. He steered them both to the tail end of the ship, away from prying eyes and listening ears.

He pulled her into an embrace when they reached their destination. "I wouldn't let you do this on your own, sweet angel. Luckily, Lady Persephone is woman who likes romantic tales. The idea of a knight determined to protect his queen sat well with her." He said, lowering his head to speak to her quietly. "It was wonderful to know you agreed to help me. I still have trouble believing you'd feel the need to. Somewhere, someone was good to me. They sent you."

As Hunter slipped his arm around her she instinctively fell in closer to him.  Glad to be heading back away from the others on the boat, she sighed lightly.  She was glad to have a moment alone with Hunter.

When pulled into the embrace Mika's head rests softly against his chest.  "I am more than glad to have my knight here with me.  I already feel more confident."  When he spoke the last words she blushed slightly.  "Of course I would agree to help you, you are very important to me.  Anything I could do to help I would do."  She said quietly, keeping her head against him.  "You watch over me all the time.  I want to be able to do the same.  I already knew something was good to be that you have watched over me for so long."

She looked up at him after a moment.  "So this ship is the first part of the travels." she said more to herself than anything.  Her mind jumps to his comment about the men on the ship being cursed.  She kept herself pulled close to Hunter the whole time.

His mouth quirked into a smile as he kissed her forehead. "Yes, they are cursed. Cursed to take us to places that mortal eyes can't usually see. We're no longer near your island, anymore." He said.

In answer to what she'd said, he nodded his head. "I'm glad I am important to you, but I will never take that or you for granted, little angel." He said lightly, threading his fingers through her hair. "You have my word on that."

Mika sighed lightly and smiled as Hunters fingers went through her hair.  She knew what he said was true.  She looked up at him, "I know you never will."  She looked deep into the green pools that watched her and she hugged him gently.

She moved a bit looking out over the edge of the ship.  She looked around at the open ocean.  Her hands ran softly over the railing as she steadied herself.  She hadn't realized how far away from the island they had gotten.  Looking at the water she whispered, "Wow."  She had never been so far out into the ocean.  She knew this journey would be hard, but that didn't mean she couldn't appreciate the moments like this.  Hunter was there watching over her, and the water was beautiful. 

She turned back to Hunter, "Do you know how far we will travel on this ship?" she asked curious.  She wanted to know how long they would be around the men on the ship that he was keeping her away from.  She also wanted to make sure she was prepared for what would be coming.  She stepped back into him, feeling safer the closer she was.
