~Disclaimer: the AOS characters are not mine, you know that, because if they were mine they would never have gone of the air. Thanx goes out to everyone for reviewing and it's because of Crystal Raven's desperate plea for more that it got updated a bit faster than normally. This will probably be the last update until the end of August because my family and I are going on a trip and this story won't be with me and most likely wont have access to a computer. I hope you like this and if you have any suggestion feel free to give them~
Bryn closed the door to her cabin and leaned against it, pressing her forehead against the cool wood. "He still loves her" she whispered to herself, "He still loves her". Bryn moved over and placed her staff against the head board, she couldn't wait to get rid of this thing. The guardians were right, she figured out that all needed the staff for was finding the elements and once she had learned all she needed to and again found the elements she would not need this stupid thing, the amulet was another story she needed it to call on the other elements, fire, water, earth and air.
It was late and Bryn needed to clear her mind. She pulled out a mat to sit on and laid it out before she pulled out a bunch of herbs, some incense and a small crystal. She burned the herbs and incense and sat down cross legged with the crystal held in he hands to meditate.

Up on the deck the guys were talking about the events of this evening
"Can you believe that she's back?" asked Doubar
"I know, it's amazing and all that stuff about Maeve it's really astounding" replied Firouz as Sinbad exited the Galley and came above deck.
"Doubar, is everything set? Are we heading south as directed?"
"Yes Sinbad, we are on course, as ell as can be accepted considering Bryn doesn't know where we are going to end up or how to get there"
"Good" said Sinbad, who had stopped listening after yes. Sinbad turned and walked away from the tiller.
Who do you think we will chose? Signed Rongar once he had gotten Firouz and Doubar's attention.
"You mean between Maeve and Bryn?" asked Firouz, Rongar nodded
"Bryn" said Doubar and Firouz simultaneously said "Maeve"
"What?" they said in unison.
"He'll pick Bryn, Firouz trust me, I'm his brother, I know him, those two are meant for each other" said Doubar "look at how they always know when the other needs to talk and what they are thinking and if you don't believe me look at their bracelets"
"Oh no Doubar, look at Sinbad and Maeve how much they are alike, how they hate the other looking at someone of the opposite sex"
"Well Firouz in case you haven't noticed, which I know you haven't, Bryn isn't all that found of Sinbad being with other girls, and remember that boy who was crazy about Bryn, Sinbad didn't take to kindly to that either"
"Yes Doubar but from what I have observed over the years I have come to the conclusion that it is far more likely for Sinbad to select Maeve"
"Firouz, you maybe the Scientist but I know my brother and his heart, he'll pick Bryn, in fact I bet you 20 gold pieces he'll pick Bryn"
"Fine, you're on" said Firouz turning and going below deck as Doubar remain at the tiller while Rongar just laughed and Dermott squawked in the background.
"I personally don't care who the Captain picks", said one sailor "I just hope that they get along, can you imagine them fighting it out with magic? You've seen Maeve and Rumina go at it"
"Well" said another "as me Da said 'tis bad luck to have a wuman aboard' I guess two would be more unlucky"
"Maybe" said the first "but haven' the captain aboard is just as unlucky, look at how much trouble he gets us into as it is mate"

Bryn woke up just before sunrise to meditate before getting on with the day. She decided that even though she is a guardian it just wasn't practical to wear a gown. So she changed back into her sleeveless yellow dress, sword and now staff which she would get rid of once she found the other four girls and finished learning everything she needed to know where as the amulet allowed her to call on the other girls elements a little bit, however to control her own powers, blood, heart, soul, space and time she needed nothing to help her. She got ready and left the cabin.
Bryn entered the Galley to hear Doubar snoring and Firouz muttering in his sleep, Rongar must be on Tiller she thought. She walked over and grabbed some bannock bread and snuck out onto the deck with her staff in one hand and the bread between her teeth she managed to open the door.
The cool sea air was refreshing after the stuffiness of the Galley, she knew that the ship was heading south because she could feel the wind warming slightly and Maeve was getting closer.
Maeve, she was both excited and terrified about meeting this woman.
At this point Bryn, who was standing at the side of the ship, heard the door from the Galley close. Sinbad who had just come up on deck walked towards Bryn and came to stand based her.
"So we're heading in the right direction?" he asked
"Yes" she replied
"Good, do you think it will be an easy journey?" asked Sinbad looking away from Bryn and out to sea
"Sinbad, when has anything we've done been easy?" she asked, Sinbad chuckled and replied.
"True Bryn true, Bryn do you… Bryn" he asked when he heard he gasp slightly. He turned to wards her and saw that she had dropped the remains of her bannock in the sea and her eyes were glowing golden.
She was grasping her staff tight in her hand and the golden glow was moving down from her eyes and up surrounding her body as she muttered "he knows, he knows NO… HE KNOWS". This caused Bryn to collapse and she would have gone over board if Sinbad had not grabbed her first, he knelt down with Bryn leaning against his chest.
Her eyes fluttered open and she whispered "He knows where she is, I know where she is he's after us, trying to stop us, it wont be an easy journey, he knows, he knows" and she sagged against Sinbad's warm muscular chest knowing that they were in for an adventure.
