Chapter 2 - Violent Visions
------------------------------------------
Beads of sweat poured down his blond head as he tossed and turned in his sleep. He saw the two figures, one red, one blue. He saw them fight, saw the winner, saw the looser. And he saw their faces...
"I.v..a...n..."
Was this another vision, or was he just having a nightmare? It seemed so real...
"Ivan!"
Thrown from his deep sleep, Ivan glanced around his cabin aboard Babi's ship. Not two feet away stood Garet, who had apparently been trying to wake him. Behind the wily haired fire adept stood Isaac and Mia, both with conscerned looks on their features.
"Dang, Ivan. You ok? You never sleep this late..."
He shook his head, and quickly decided that telling them of his dream would be just a tiny bit bad.
"I had nightmares all last night; they kept me up. Sorry."
He noticed the relieved looks on the fire and water mages, but Isaac stared at him, his eyes seemingly attempting to look inside his soul...
"I guess I'll go fix breakfast now..."
And as soon as the words left his mouth, the releived looks vanished. Mia stepped forward. "Ivan, you do know that only Isaac and myself know how to cook..."
"I was just going to fix a small meal. Ya now, nothing fancy." And with that, Mia and Garet left, hand in hand. Isaac continued to stare, apparently questioning the fabricated tale of night deamons. But he walked out, apparently lacking the will to question his friend.
And good thing he did, for Ivan didn't know how to tell him of the dream he had...
Or rather, the vision...
------------------------------------------
Staring over the bow of the Lemurian ship, Isaac questioned his friend's lie. On the journey to Kalay from Lunpa, Hamet had told him that Ivan rarely had true nightmares, but rather, vagure visions of the future. And when Hama mentioned that Ivan could see into the future...
Isaac knew that his friend was hiding something, but he had no way of knowing what it was. Sure, he could attempt to pry, but what would come of it? Revealing that his friend was a liar and unveiling a dark truth... Would it be worth it?
Isaac was hurt that his friend would hold secrets from him, but for now, he would wait, hopeful that his young ally would tell him...

In Alhafra, large scale fights tended to draw the attention of the mayor. With this on their minds, the citizens rarely got into brawls, instead relying on other means of resolving desputes. No one wanted the mayor to be involved, putting everything in his path down. But a certain group of four didn't know this fact.
And what better way to draw his attention than a fight in his sole remaining boat?
It was within this boat that Felix, Sheba, Jenna, and Kraden fought, trying to get Briggs captured to release an innocently accused adept. And suprisingly enough, the red-head was the one putting the thugs of Briggs down.
In a dark corner of the stairs, a civilian watched, interested in the fight. She had never seen a brawl before, but knew that if she were the one to tell the mayor, he would reward her in some way. Maybe even money...
Rushing up the stairs, she made her way to the city.
------------------------------------------
Twarting a swipe at her head, Jenna struck the thief in the gut with her staff, sending him crashing into a distant wall. Glancing around through sweat-dripping locks of hair, she saw Kraden try to help, swinging his staff at the head of the pirate Briggs while Felix locked blades with him. Opposite of that battle was Sheba, sending bolts of lightning at yet another of the crooks. But the guy somehow got the upper hand, backhanding her accross the face. Laying on the floor, the guy pinned her down, his goal obvious to Sheba.
And to Jenna.
Drawing her saber, she left her staff on the ground as she grabbed the guy by the neck, throwing him against a crate. Bringing the tip of her blade to his throat, she moved to slash his life away, eyes burning like hell stones. She didn't expect the arm that stopped her, and nearly yelped in surprise to see that it was Sheba holding her back. "Don't, Jenna. Don't be like one of them, please."
Despite the rage and anger rushing within her, she began to tear up. Isaac had spoken to her in the same way when she threatened Garet after he seemninly lost her golden ring that belonged to her parents. Isaac... The thought of him brought her to tears, but she quickly gathered herself, lunging at a pirate trying to kill Kraden, determined to not show weakness...
------------------------------------------
Within his room, Alex stared at the ceiling. He still couldn't believe what he had done. He hadn't meant to hurt anyone, least of all Jenna; now it seemed that he had jepordized his chances of reforming an alliance with Felix. While he might convince Sheba and Felix, Jenna would never allow him near her.
Though she probably didn't know it, he did feel guilt for what he had done. He had no idea of what happened, and the thought of hurting someone so innocent was like knives stabbing him. It was not like idiotic guards trying to capture them or acursed monsters trying to make a meal of them. But somehow, she was differient. How, he did not know, but something about her...
He shook his head; he had done her a great wrong, and there was only one thing he could do about it. Imilian code stated that if you wronged a person, you were to aid them in some fashon until the wrong was corrected.
But how would he help a firy enigma like her...?
