"Good morning Ayalla, hope we didnt wake you"

Salathe smiles. He thinks he sees something shine in the ocean, so he walks to the side of the boat and looks over the railing. He quickly turns to Ayalla and Carahawen.

"Ayalla! Cara! Come and look at this!"

Salathe turns back and looks at the water near the side of the boat, where dozens of flying fish jump out of the water and glide through the air.

Carahawen walks to the railing and eyes the fish.

"Wow, they look beautiful.... do you think we could eat them?"

Ayalla scrambles to her feet, tosses the cat on her shoulders, and hurries over to Sal. Peering over the railing, Ayalla sees fish with wings.

Hmmm...that's strange, never saw fish like that before...wonder if they taste good...

Ayalla watches the fish go by and her stomach growls. She realizes how hungry she is.

Hey, how about I summon us some food?

Ayalla grins cheerfully.

"Hmmm, thats a good question... how do they taste..."

Salathe looks at Ayalla when she suggest she should summon food

"Erm... no thats quite alright Ayalla, i catch us some flying fish"

Salathe runs to the bow where fishing nets lay and he picks one up and brings it back over. He hurls it into the water and pulls up.

"Dam they are fast...."

Salathe thinks for a second, then stands on the railing and jumps off into the water. He thrashs around in the water trying to catch as many as he can. He sees one in the air right infront of him catches it in his mouth.

"Hah! got some"

Salathe holds the net shut with his left hand quickly ties it and tosses the net with 3 fish up onto the deck. Now with 2 free hands he climbs back on board. He smiles to Ayalla and Carahawen and drops the fish out of his mouth

Carahawen looks at the fish of Sal's mouth.

"Eh, yes, you're going to eat this one, right? ..Well, then let's go cook them."

She takes two of the fish up at the tail, holding them away from her. The fish are still moving.

"Uhm,...well... they look so beautiful, do we really want to eat them?"

"Sure we want to eat them"

Salathe grabs the net, slings it over his shoulder, and the three head down to the mess hall

Ayalla looks disappointed that she doesn't get to summon food, but smiles when she sees what they'll be having instead. Tiger runs and grabs the fish that Sal caught with his mouth and goes to hide from Sal.
Ayalla chuckles.

Should I make a magic fire to cook these over?

Ayalla smiles and pulls out her wand out of her leather bag eagerly.

"Erhm, Aya, this ship is made out of wood."

Carahawen looks a bit shocked.

"We want to go to the kitchen....there's a nice oven to cook them."

Awww...fine...my magic fires don't catch things on fire unless they are intended to, though.

Ayalla puts away her wand and looks around for Tiger. Tiger comes walking out from behind a nearby barrel, looking extremely smug in her own little cat-like way. Ayalla grins, scoops Tiger onto her shoulders, and walks down to the mess hall with Carah and Sal.

. Once the three of them get to the mess hall, they head to the kitchen.

"Hey Arminas! Look what i got for you"

Salathe tosses the net with the 3 flying fish on the table.

"Great! Ive never actually cooked this species of fish, but im sure i can manage, you three get ready for a good meal"

Arminas opens the net and tosses the 3 fish into a boiling pot

"Ahhh, umm keep mine raw"

Salathe winks and the three of them going back into the mess hall and sit down

Raw...? ewww...reminds me of this one thing I tried on the mainland once...something called Su...ummm...Susha, no no...Sushi! It had raw fish in it and seaweed and it was prosibly the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten in my entire life.

Ayalla shivers at the thought of eating Sushi or anything like it again.

"Sushi.... sounds absolutely delicious"

Salathe drools

"Raw fish? Ugh...I prefer it cooked, or grilled..."

Carahawen looks around in the mess hall, but it seems completely empty.

"Well...to early for breakfast, I suppose."

"Neither of you like raw fish!?"

Salathes jaw drops

"Well, we all have different tastes"

After talking for a few minutes Arminas comes over with a tray, that has two tastey looking filets, and one raw fish with a little bit of blood coming out of its eye.

"Hope you three enjoy"

Carahawen looks sceptical at Sal's fish, turning a little green in her face.

"Uh, well, thank you a lot..."

She decides not to look at Sal until he finished eating. Her fish smells tasty and she decides to try a bite... the fish tastes delicious and she eats it all.

Yum...this fish is good...or at least mine is...

Looks distastefully at Sal's fish and pantomimes barfing to Carah. Ayalla grins.

Salathe looks at his fish with a big grin, then bites its head off. He slurps some of the intestines to his mouth. He turns to Ayalla and Carahawen with some guts hanging out his mouth and tries to speak with his mouth full.

"Mmmnf... Dis if goo"

Ayalla actually starts to gag, but takes a deep breath and looks away. She chuckles.

Sal learn some table manners for our sake unless you want me to actually barf on you...

Carahawen chuckles and tries not to look at Sal but turns her head to Ayalla. Suddenly she gaps...

"Ehm...Aya, you...you're..ehm.. levitating...!!!"

She stares at Ayalla who doesn't sit on her chair anymore but floats a bit above it.

hmmm? ahhh! what the he...ummm...anyone know what's going on?

Ayalla tries to stop levitating but it doesn't work. She looks distressed.

Shouldn't have taken off my armor...I have such bad luck when I take off my armor...

Salathe looks at carahawen and ayalla oddly

"heh, i think the fish is making you guys hallucinate"

We are not hallucinating! Just look at...me...?

Ayalla realizes she is sitting on the bench rather than levitating.

But...what...why am I...wasn't I just...

She looks confused and wonders if she really is going crazy along with Carah.

"Uhm, oh...well...maybe it wasn't the best idea to eat this fish."

Carahawen rubs her eyes and starts feeling dizzy, her face turns from green to white and back.

"Ah, ..I think I have to go on deck..."

She jumps up but doesn't get control over her feet and falls.

"Yep definately hallu..."

Salathe starts seeing the room become shifty, and everything turns to shades of pink, and salathe a dull smile on his face. He looks at Ayalla, who to him, is a llama.

"mmmm llamas....."

Paul spits distastefully on the stupid people and lizard lying on the deck. He climbs up to the crows nest painfully and sits down in it. He takes another look at his new bruise, acquired trying to get out of the dark holds. He then looks up and sees port in the distance. His constant frown turns into a smirk.

"The time is close at hand."

Zarah can hear that the chattering and laughing of her friends some metres away from her suddenly stopped. Still holding Konstantin's hand she moves towards them and sees all of them liing on the ground, obviously conciousless.

Letting Konstantins hand loose she kneels down to her friends and checks their conditions. Founding out that all of them seem to sleep in a kind of drunkenness she takes out some potions.

"Konstantin, please, hurry, bring me some glasses out of the galley. This is very complicated, I will have to mix something for them."

She mixes some of her potions into a potion having a strange white color. She works in a hurry and seems deeply comcerned about her friends.
She begins to administer them the potions.

After a while, still kneeling down to them she asks Carahawen:

"Can you hear me? Carahawen, are you alright?"
