Haunted Ship
On the ship, they found the pirates all in a flutter over three legendary treasure jewels. One was Diamond of Mikev. The second was the Fairy's Sapphire. Finally, they had heard about the Mandora Topaz. Tusk had decided to look for them, and was looking for help.
Lina and Gourry wasted no time heading to the captain's cabin. There, they found Tusk conversing with his first mate. "Hey captain," she said, "Gourry and I are willing to help you out with your treasure hunt. Just promise to give us a little reward for our troubles."
"Whatever you want mateys. Jes talk to the helmsman about heading for Mikev. His name's Ramtiger, an' he'll take ye wherever ye want to go," Tusk repled.
So they went to the room where the stearing wheel was held. There, they found a penguin steering the ship. Lina called, "Hey, the captain wants you to go and search for the Diamond of Mikev. Let's get going."
Ramtiger looked at her. He wondered who she was, and why the captain was sending her as a messenger. 'Better just get going, or he'll yell at me for lazing off.'
So he began to head for the Mikev caverns. But halfway there, the ship suddenly stopped. Ramtiger began to wonder what was gong on.
Lina decided to look for herself. She went outside on the top deck, only to find that the wind had completely stopped. Figuring it would be some time before the wind picked up again, Lina decided to cast Diem Wing to help the ship move.
Suddenly, a penguin who was fishing caught a bottle on the end of his line. When he opened it, a chill entered the air. A ghost came out of the bottle, and the penguin fell asleep. It then flew off to other parts of the ship to find new victims.
Lina wasted no time running after it. She wanted to get to the ghost before it caused any serious harm, and ruined her treasure hunt. Hot on the trail, the duo ran into the cabin. There, they found a group of penguins lying unconscious.
"It's definitely the ghost's work," Lina said, "We better find it before it causes any more mischief, or sinks the ship."
After chasing it around for about a half hour, they finally cornered it in the bottom hold. But it flew right past Gourry, putting him to sleep. Try as she might, Lina was unable to wake her companion as he snored on the deck floor.
"That's it, now it's personal! No one messes with me and gets away with it. That ghost's gonna get it when I find it," she yelled. Then Lina engaged in the daunting task of carrying Gourry up the stairs to find the ghost.
Finally, she cornered it again on the top deck. It told her, "You foolish humans. I will never be beaten by your silly tricks."
Lina Fireballed the ghost. But the spell just went right through its misty form, and fell into the ocean. "I guess I have to try something bigger."
"Nothing can beat me," the ghost boomed, "I am the all powerful Orc, ghost of the greatest general who ever lived. Nothing can harm me."
"Sure, and I'm the Knight of Cephied," Lina retorted.
The ghost asked, "What in the name of the Goddess is a Knight of Cephied anyway? It must be something that came to be after my sealing."
Lina facefaulted. "I was being sarcastic you stupid ghost. My sister Luna is the Knight of Cephied. And for your information, it comes from another world."
The ghost looked at Lina. He then shot a beam of pure darkness at the sorceress. But Lina effortlessly dodged the attack.
She called, "If that's the best you can do, then don't bother trying again. I could just blast you with one blow. In fact, I'll show you right now. Prepare for your death." Then, she cast Elmekia Lance on Orc, killing it instantly.

Lina walked right over to her sleeping companion. While she had seen the pirates wake up the second the ghost was killed, he continued to sleep. She tried to shake him awake. When that didn't work, she resorted to Fireballing him.
Gourry woke up with a start. "I'm up Lina, I'm up. What time is it anyway? How long have I been sleeping? And why was I sleeping anyway?"
"You were put to sleep by a ghost stupid," Lina yelled, "How could you forget that? Let's get going to see what's going on."
They went to the captain's cabin. Tusk and his first mate were both just waking up from their sleep. The both of them were clearly still groggy from the ordeal.
"Ye did good matey. Ye truly are a Man of the Sea," Tusk commented.
The first mate called, "Capt'n, it's a girl."
Tusk shot him a death glare. "Don't talk back to me, ye fool. Now, here's your reward for getting rid of the ghost. He handed her a large bag of gold.
That night, the duo went to sleep in the crew's quarters. Lina went to lay on the floor, intending to give Gourry the bed. But just like the night they met Rezo, Gourry refused to sleep on the bed while she was on the floor, so they both ended up on the floor. Soon, they both drifted off to sleep.

Originally, the prize was a crab, but I thing the captain is a little smarter not to get on Lina's last nerve. Well, we now have to find the three treasures. A daunting task, but it'll be fun.
