************************************************************************

Back on the Nomad Sinbad had just awoken to an empty bed, he looked around and figuring he had just dreamt the night up, he quickly got up and dressed. Once he reached the deck he looked around for Bryn, when he did not see her he asked Firouz if he had, "Yes Captain I saw her this morning she was headed into town for the day" was his reply. A little disappointed that she had not woken him to tell him her plans Sinbad walked over to the tiller where Doubar was standing.

"Were you looking for Bryn little brother?" Doubar asked when Sinbad leaned against the railing by him. "Yes but Firouz tells me she went in to town for the day" was his reply. "That where she was going then." Doubar commented. Then looking up at the sky he saw that it was way past midday, he looked at his brother and voiced his thoughts "She's been gone a long time now Sinbad are you sure Firouz just didn't see her come back?" "Maybe, I'll go check her cabin, I'll be right back." He said as he trotted off in the direction of the stairs.

Sinbad quickly made his way to Bryn's cabin, he knocked and called her name, and when he got to response he opened the door and walked in. Once he entered the room he noticed that something was off, as he took a better look he noticed that the room was empty of any belongings. Sinbad quickly noticed the few things on the desk and walked over to see what they were.

His heart almost stopped when he noticed the ring sitting on top of it all. He picked up the ring and noticed that the paper underneath it was addressed to him, scared now Sinbad picked up the letter and turned to sit on the edge of the bed to read it. As soon as he read the first line he was glad that he had sat down, and by the time Sinbad had finished reading the letter his world had crumbled into nothing, tears were falling down his cheeks and landing on the paper, outlining the final words "All my love, and always yours, Bryn"

Sinbad jumped up and with the items in hand he ran up on to the deck and right towards Doubar, Firouz, and Rongar, when they saw his appearance and the tears that were still glistening on his cheeks they knew that something was seriously wrong. So when Sinbad finally stopped in front of them he said something that they would probably remember for the rest of their lives, "She's gone" and from the scared hurt look in their Captain's eyes they knew that it was the truth. "All she left me was a letter and the ring" he continued holding up the items in his shaking hands. The three men each looked at the items then at each other and almost as if they were one person they headed towards their cabins to see if she had left a letter for each of them.

They each returned several minutes later each with a similar letter in their hands and at that moment they all knew for sure that their friend was actually gone. Doubar was the first one to speak "Sinbad do you have any idea why she would just leave? I saw her this morning and she went to wake you up but then something happened to her almost like she saw a ghost.", it was Sinbad's turn to talk now and it was just then that it dawned on him "I think I'm the reason she left" he told them, they each gave him a quizzical look so he continued "I think I slept with Maeve and that's probably what Bryn saw when she came in" he finished with his eyes downcast and a great guilt washing over him.

Before he could say another word his three friends each came out of there shock and each gave a very similar "WHAT!" which echoed off the ship and caused the crew to stop and look at them.

"It doesn't matter right now!" Sinbad claimed "All that matters is that we find Bryn!" the three let it go for now but they each knew that Sinbad was going to have to explain what happened sooner or later.

"Fine let's go look" Doubar finally said and with that the four men took off to go look for their missing comrade.

Unknown to them was the fact that the Triquetra which was carrying Bryn had already left and was headed home.

The four men spent the rest of the day searching the town for Bryn, they asked around and found out that no one had seen her since the previous night. As a last resort they went to the harbour master and asked him if he had seen their wayward friend, "I saw the Lass, early this mornin, she was carrying some bags and was heading that a way." He told them as he pointed farther down the deck "didn't see her come back though, figure she got on a ship" Sinbad thanked the man and headed in the direction he had pointed. Once they reached the end of the pier they started asking sailors from the different ships around the area, a few had seen her get on a ship and told the group that the ship had left not long after midday.

Dejected the four men went back to the Nomad and prepared to set sail, half hoping that they would find the ship that Bryn had left on. When they reached the Nomad Sinbad slipped down to his cabin and picked up the ring which he had left on his desk. He held it in his hand before he opened his top draw and removed a thin cord, tying the ring to the center of the cord Sinbad looped it around his neck and tied it off. Gripping the ring in his fist Sinbad looked out his port window and sent a silent prayer to who ever was listening so that they would keep Bryn save until he was able to find her. Sighing he turned from the window and went up on deck.

Not long before they were ready to depart Maeve showed up and with a quick nod to Sinbad, she headed down to her cabin. As soon as she was on board Sinbad gave the order to sat sail, and with one last look at the town, which would now be forever marked as the place where they had lost Bryn, the crew started out in search of what ever they might find.
