~Chapter Eleven: Hatred~
The grew tired and anxious, waiting for this mysterious woman to appear. They also began to wonder why they were here. It was one thing to hunt for treasure, but to have someone take you to it, a person who knows the exact location kind of takes the adventure out of it. Plus, the crew watched the way Jesline had been acting that morning. She would stand at the bow of the ship, staring at the island, waiting and if anyone went up to her to speak with her, she would just ignore them as if they weren't there.
Later in the day, around late afternoon, Jesline went to Jack and told him that they had to go to shore and that the crew had to come too. Jack told Jesline that she said that they could not go on the island until the Chief's wife, Lasana came. Jesline told him that they could not go on the island that morning, but the afternoon was safe and besides that had to greet the Lasana properly. Jack did not want to leave the Black Pearl unguarded, but Jesline reassured him that no one would take the Pearl, that she was safe near the island.
Jack gave the orders to drop anchor and lower the boats to go to shore. Everyone rowed to shore and when they stepped foot onto the island they felt safe and hidden as if no evil could find them. It was comforting.
Jack felt same thing when got on the island. He gazed worriedly at his Pearl, but felt that it was safe, that nothing would take it. Jack turned and looked at the forest of the island. It was strange, beautiful, almost as if it were an illusion. The tree's bark were sliver and the leaves were various colors of green, blue, orange, and red. They looked like the ocean as if it were on fire, but it seemed impossible to Jack. The sand beach seemed pearly white and the water was crystal blue. It was beautiful.
Jesline went up to Jack and the crew to warn them, to tell them the law of Forest Hymn.
"Captain, everybody. There is a law of Forest Hymn that you must never break, your lives will depend upon it. Do not harm or kill anything on this island, even if your own life is being threatened. 'Tis forbidden to kill on this scared place." Jesline spoke loudly, looking at each person with serious eyes.
"But if we kill something or someone then how can another person kill us?" asked Jason, who barely spoke, but when he did something smart always came out of his mouth.
"I never said that another person would punish you." and Jesline left it at that. Gazing around the island she indicated that something on the island, in the forest would fill out the punishment.
The crew grew nervous at the thought of ghosts, of spirits taking their lives for breaking the law. A light breeze suddenly blew and everybody jumped execpt Jack and Jesline, who were afarid of nothing.
"Oh and by the way" Jesline said to everyone else "what you see is an illusion. You must see past all this, beauty and see the real island, the real truth."
Jack was relived that everything he saw an illusion and the moment he believed in it, the colorful trees turned into palm trees, and the pearly white beach was actually a light tan one.
Jack heard a noise in the distance and turned to see two women and three men move toward them. The first woman had dark, raven black hair, curled and styled up top her head. A crystal tear and gold links wrapped around her head, with the crystal tear in the middle of her forehead. Her skin was dark brown and it seemed to shine in the sunlight. Her clothing was a dark green, sheer dress that had gold rings on the shoulders and opened to reveal long dark brown arms. Her dress fluttered on the light breeze which revealed to Jack that she had bare feet. Jack, upon his inspection, concluded that this was Lasana.
The second woman wore a short leather skirt, and a piece of green cloth across her chest. The green cloth was embroidered with gold thread. The symbols on the cloth were foreign to Jack, yet they seemed somewhat fimilar to him. Jack shurgged it off and would wait until later to ask Jesline what the symbols meant.
Jack inspected the second woman futher and saw that she had lightly tanned skin and blonde/brown hair was tied to the back of her neck, by a leather strap or something, Jack could not tell. She carried at her side a cutlass and a dagger. They were plain, but the steal, from what Jack could tell was made of the same steal as Jesline's weapons.
The men, on the other hand, wore leather skirts as well and carried long wooden spears. Engraved into the wood were sliver symbols, but unrecognizable.
The nicely dressed woman stopped in front of Jesline, and could see that she had voilet eyes. The woman did not looked pleased, for some reason.
Jesline bowed to Lasana, in proper respect and in turn Lasana bowed her head to Jesline. Jesline rose and began to speak to Lady Lasana
"Minha senhora, eu vim na paz e com estes homens e mulher. Nas vimos na busca das cavernas da confusalo procurar seu tesouro. Nas sairemos assim que nosso negacio for feito." Jesline said in the Hymnbaki tongue. Jack and the crew did not understand a word of it, but just stood there and listened to two women talk.
"Eu sei porque voca esta aqui, Jesline. Voca esquece-se de que a luz de Semphago revela tambacm one's finalidade verdadeira assim como eles ac amigos de Semphago. Eu quero saber porque voca esta aqui. Voca sabe que sua presenaea aqui ac...perigosa a nas." Lasana said, sternly to Jesline. Lasana made it clear in her voice that Jesline was not welcome here, nor were her friends.
"Nalo pode pisar no console, minha senhora e nenhunsenlatam aqueles que Ihe servem." Jesline said.
"E voca nalo Ihe serve, Jesline?" Lasana asked with suspion
"No. Eusou foraeado a servir-Ihe. Eu venho para somente uma finalidade, minha senhora e quando ac feita eu sairei, eu juro." Jesline said with determination. Jack and his crew were here for the treasure of the Caves of Confusion, but Jesline was here for a different purpose. She had to go and see the Chief, and soon. Time was not on her side.
"Muito bem entalo. Voca e estes povos que o seguem podem permanecer, mas marcar minhas palavras Jesline, se algum delas assim muito como o danomeus povos ou disobey a lei que voca sofrera os conquences de suas aalaues. Eu faaeo-me desobstrua-do?" Lasana stated sternly and clearly. She did not want her words misunderstood.
"Sim, minha senhora." Jesline said quietly. Anger coursed through her body because of Lasana. She believed that Jesline was the Devil's willing servant, that she served him loyally. How wrong Lasana was.
"Bom. A estada de Kasha com estes povos e tra-los a vila a meu marido." Lasana said to the second woman who was called Kasha.
"Sim, Senhora Lasana." Kasha said with obedience in her voice. Kasha turned and looked at Jesline with pity in her eyes, not hate as Lasana did. Kasha, one of a few people, knew the truth about Jesline. Everyone else made up their own stories and they were never nice ones either.
Jesline bowed to Lasana and Lasana just turned and left, not returning the bow. It was a sign of disrespect and hate. Jesline rose and watched Lasana go with hurt and angry eyes. She then turned to Kasha and saw the pity. Jesline blew it off and tilted her head in the direction of the forest. Kasha slightly bowed her head and turned, walking toward the forest.
Jack and the crew had no idea what just went, let alone what just happened. They just stood there and didn't even move when Jesline and Kasha began walking away. Jesline turned around and yelled to Jack and the crew.
"Come!" and they did as she said and followed closely behind Jesline when they began to walk through the woods. The crew were frightened because the forest began to make noise, unnatural nosies that sounded like voices. It was as if the trees were speaking to each other about the new comers. All this comotion, how ever did not bother Jack because soon they came upon the village of the island. Jack noticed that the people would look at Jesline and then quickly shift their gaze. Jack saw in their eyes hatred, but this confused him. Did they hate her or the one she is forced to kill for? Jack did not answer the question. Later he would ask Jesline the question plagued his brain and hopefully she had an answer.
In the center of the village was a very large tree, and in it was the Light of Semphago. Jack guessed that nobody wanted to take it out and put it in a safe place. Strange people, Jack thought. On the ground were huts made from grass, mud, sticks. They were short, but very wide as if they were made only for sleeping and nothing more. Jack wondered what these people did when a storm came on the island, but soon the thought was pushed away when they came upon a dark brown man wearing a leather skirt and a large gold medallion around his neck. His dark blue eyes were stern and serious as was his face. The man sat in chair made of tree wood, but the wood glowed a sliver, much like the arrow execpt the arrow glowed like a rainbow. The large, muscled man looked at Jack, Jesline and the crew and then he spoke.
"Amigos bem-vindos de Semphago e filha de Jesline daboa vinda de Erika Sherida. Vocaeac dado boas-vindas com braaeos abertos. Minha esposa como informada já me porque vocaesta aqui, mas eu espera que voca permaneaea para o Festvial da vida." The man said, looking at all of the new comers and Jesline. Jesline bowed to the man and replied to him.
"Nas a vontade Trikao principal como nosso negacioaqui faremos exame sometime para terminar. Obrigado, cheif grande." Jesline said looking at Chief Trikao with respect in her eyes. The chief smiled down at her and spoke again to her.
"Filha de Jesline de Erika que eu conheaeo de sua finalidade aqui, mas que ac sua finalidade? Voca na£o tem o pacpisado neste console desde que voca era uma mera menina. Assim,por que ac voca aqui agora, Jesline?" Trikao asked, hoping she was not here for what he thought to be her purpose.
"Eu procuro meu chefe Trikao da male. Onde esta?" Jesline asked with hope in her voice. The Chief bowed his head in sadness. She did not know. He hated having to do this, but the child deserved to know the truth.
The Chief looked up at Jesline and said to her, with grief in his voice, "Aflige-se me ser essa para dizer-lhe isto, mas sua male foi ida por muito tempo desde o dia onde voca foi feito exame. Jesline sua male esta inoperante."
Jesline looked at the Chief with a mask of grief. She couldn't believe it. It couldn't be true it just couldn't be.
Author's Note~ Okay you have probably noticed that a lot of the dialogue is in a different language. It is actually Portuguese not Hymnbaki as Hymnbaki is not even real. And I bet you are wonder what in the world Jesline, Lasana, and Chief Trikao were saying. Well here are the translations (they are in order of the story):
Conversation between Jesline and Lasana: Jesline: My Lady, I have come in peace and with these men and woman. We come in search of the Caves of Confusion to seek its treasure. We will leave as soon as our business is done.
Lasana: I know why you are here, Jesline. You forget that the Light of Semphago also reveals one's true purpose as well as they are friends of Semphago. I want to know why you are here. You know that your presence here is...dangerous to us.
Jesline: He cannot step onto the island, My Lady, and neither can those who serve him.
Lasana: And don't you serve him, Jesline?
Jesline: No. I am forced to serve him. I come for only one purpose, My Lady and when it is done I will leave, I swear. Lasana: Very well then. You and these people who follow you may stay, but mark my words Jesline, if any of them so much as harm my people or disobey the law you will suffer the conquences of their actions. Do I make myself clear?
Jesline: Yes, My Lady.
Lasana: Good. Kasha stay with these people and bring them to the village to my husband.
Kasha: Yes, Lady Lasana.
Conversation between Jesline and Trikao Trikao: Welcome friends of Semphago and welcome Jesline daughter of Erika Sherida. You are welcomed with open arms. My wife as already informed me why you are here, but I do hope that all of you will stay for the Festvial of Life.
Jesline: We will Chief Trikao as our business here will take sometime to complete. Thank you, great chief.
Trikao:Jesline daughter of Erika I know of their purpose here, but what is your purpose? You have not stepped foot on this island since you were a mere girl. So, why are you here now, Jesline?
Jesline: I seek my mother Chief Trikao. Where is she?
Trikao: It grieves me to be the one to tell you this, but your mother has long since been gone the day you were taken. Jesline your mother is dead.
And there are the translations of the story. Just so you know, the conversations will only be in Hymnbaki when Jack or one of his crew members are around because that is what they hear, but when Jesline is alone with the Hymnbaki's it will be in English though do keep in mind that she and the other Hymnbaki are speaking Hymnbaki, okay? Cool. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Remember to read Second Chances by Serena Coyote! Ta!!
