Wow, I am so sorry it took me this long to update but school and all and trying to find a job ugh. So I hope you like this
It was three days after Bryn had figured out where Maeve was and the Nomad had been heading south at a rapid speed with Bryn trying to help as best she could. With the aid of the amulet, Bryn had been able to speed up the wind enough to move them ahead by at least two days. Now, under Bryn's orders, the ship had slowed down and was approaching an island called the Isle of fuego.
Bryn stood at the bow of the ship wrapped in her thoughts and she was enjoying the calmness and peacefulness she felt with the wind blowing through her hair. She was so relaxed that she did not even hear Doubar coming up behind her.
"Hello Bryn"
"Oh Doubar, I'm sorry I never heard you coming" replied a startled Bryn.
"Bryn, Sinbad wants to know if we are still on the right course"
"Doubar" she said with a look of frustration but the corner of her mouth had a slight smile on them, "you can tell Sinbad that we are still on the same course we were 10 minutes ago when he last asked, and we are still on the right course".
"Alright Bryn I'll tell him" said Doubar chuckling to himself.
"She must be really important to him, considering how often he's checking to make sure we're on the right course," Bryn said
"Well she was important to all of us but for Sinbad, she was the first female that he felt close to at all since Leigh"
"Still" Bryn said gloomily, "He must care a great deal for her"
"Well, Bryn we all do," said Doubar as he turned and walked away.
"That's what I'm afraid of" Bryn whispered to herself thinking that only the wind heard her.
~What are you afraid of my friend~ asked Dermott as he flew down and landed on the railing beside her?
~Oh Dermott, it's just you~
~Yes Bryn it is I, but tell me what are you afraid of? ~
~Afraid that Maeve will return and everything will change, that the crew will compare me to her as I know they already do, that you'll return to her and ignore me as I'm sure the others will~
~Bryn you are my friend I could never leave you~
~Not even for your sister~ Bryn questioned with a slight smile appearing on her face.
~How…~
~I have my ways Dermott, I know more and knew more than anyone gave me credit for~
~I knew that Bryn, I also know you're not as weak as many believe but I didn't know you knew that~
~Well people can surprise you, and I hope they surprise me by not doing as I suspect, even though I know they will~
~Bryn I can tell that you've been hurt in the past, somehow but things may not be as bad as you seem to think they are~
~maybe from your birds eye view Dermott but from us grounded people it's not so great~
~Bryn…~
Sorry Dermott, I sense a change in course, can you fly south east and scout ahead for a island~
~For you Bryn of course~ said Dermott as he flew off.
"Sinbad change course to South east" Bryn yelled with out turning towards the tiller, where she knew that Sinbad still stood.
Sinbad stood beside Doubar who he had just turned the tiller over too, he did not know why, but he had felt that getting to this island was something that he had to do, him and Bryn. He had finally felt that they were close enough to let Doubar take over on tiller, not that Doubar would have given him much of a choice. Sinbad watched Bryn standing at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze blowing through her hair and all he could think of was how beautiful she was.
No stop you can't think that, it's Bryn, Maeve you have to think of Maeve you are suppose to think of her not Bryn, you Promised Maeve to stay with her forever. But Bryn, Bryn is everything that you ever wanted and you know, why won't you admit it? Maeve you can not like this, you cant leave her like this, you're just about to get her back, you cannot leave her like this. What am I going to do, how am I going to deal with both of them on this ship.
Sinbad's' mind was racing and before he knew it he was down stairs in his room writing out his thoughts as fast as his hand could go, not that he could read his own writing, he had never been one for penmanship!

Bryn saw a shape forming over the horizon and could tell from the feel of excitement that was now buzzing about the ship that everyone else onboard saw it too. She could feel their excitement in finding the island that held their dear Maeve and Dimdim and not once did she receive and "Good job Bryn, we knew you could do it" or a "We never doubted you". The shape was now becoming clearer, an island with mountains and hills, and the tallest mountain was smoking, clearly a volcano. The sun that was now setting gave the island a fiery red appearance, Bryn had a feeling that tonight was not the night to step onto that island.
"LOWER THE ANCHOR" she cried, sailors all around her stopped what they were doing and stared at her in shock, "I MEAN NOW". With that everyone rushed into action, and Doubar came storming over to her.
"Bryn lass what is going on, there is plenty of day light left for us to go ashore" said Doubar running up to Bryn.
"Doubar the is something on that island and it is not safe to be there, on that island at night, and I think that it is far to late to go there" said Bryn
"But Bryn I'm sure…"
"Doubar, I'm sorry I know how important Maeve is to all of you but I will not risk you or the entire crew on a fool hearty mission, if I thought for one moment that Maeve or Dimdim were actually endanger I would not hesitate to go onto that island at any time of night to save them, but trust me they are NOT endanger and I will not risk all of you for one or two people."
"Bryn we need to get them back" said Firouz coming up beside Doubar.
"I'm sorry Firouz…"
"Well its ok, EVERYONE GET THE BOATS READY" said Firouz.
"FIROUZ, I'm sorry that you don't trust me and my judgement, I mean I know that I'm not Maeve and up until now have not been able to control my powers but Sinbad did give me authority onboard and I say that we wait no ifs and or buts about it. I want the anchor down NOW" Bryn snapped before she turned away and marched below deck.
