A strange world for a Mage

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise coughed violently as she opened her Grey eyes and spat out the sand from her mouth before she looked up. Seeing a beach, Charlise slowly allowed herself to stand up before walking away from the water and brushing the sand from her robes and bag, thankfully neither being too wet.

Taking a deep breath after brushing away her Raven Black strands from her face, Charlise looked around. 'Maker.... Where am I? This... This isn't the Tower! Let alone the Herb Gardens!' She thought to herself as she checked that she had her possessions, checking her back to try to feel her Staff. No such luck.

Sighing, Charlise found that she still had her dagger and bag of herbs at least and touched the necklace that was given by her Mother. 'Ok..... No Staff..... And in a place that doesn't look like Baiyerloc.... Head Archmage Irving isn't going to be pleased!' She sighed heavily as she looked around.

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell was mumbling the whole time as he collected muscles along the rocks near the pirate's little town. He'd not really revealed much of what he could because he figured that if they knew, they'd kill him in his sleep and he needed five hours sleep. He was getting a meal each day, a safe... well safish, place to sleep and a hell of a lot of people he could constantly annoy with his rambling. He knew they wouldn't kill him because he was the big guy's slave. Apparently he could use that to his advantage. All he had to say was 'The big Bull won't like that.' and they kinda backed off.

Untill he figured out a way to get into Bull's book of favourites... which he planned to do since he was stuck here anyway... he'd do as he'd been told and just work on it like a good boy. The pirate who was supposed to be his guard had fallen asleep on the rocks in the shade because of too much rum and sun. Never a good thing so Bell was basically left to his own devices. He could easily use the throwing knife in his hand to kill the pirate and escape but what was the point. He'd heard that there were evil amazonian warriors in the forrest.

He'd also heard the sounds of untold beasts and creatures in the forest and he really didn't wanna be messing with any of them. He'd rather be safe then sorry. So Bell sat perched on a few rocks prying muscles from their hold on the rocks and shoving them into his shoulder bag. That was until something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. A woman on the other side of the huge rocks had washed on shore. Bell stared at her as she slowly got up. She was alive! Bell shot one last glance down at the pirate before zooming down the rocks and speeding to the girl.

He stopped in a cloud of sand and dust making it impossible for him to see her even though she was just a few feet away from him.
"Hi!"
Bell coughed and hacked between words.
"There's like a pirate village just behind those rocks. You have to get out of here before they find you!"

The sand settled and Bell stared at the woman before him. She was tall and slender and elegant and powerful.
"Oooooorrrr we could get to know one another a little better....."
Bell purred and winked at her leaning a little closer, his flirting being a little off.

[Charlise Aura]

Whilst Charlise was thinking, she saw a cloud of dust out of the corner of her eye and braced herself for a storm until it stopped a few feet away from and she saw..... A boy?

Blinking rapidly to try to shake herself from a dream, Charlise took in what he said with a look of disbelief about what he said. "I have to be dreaming..... I am in the Fade.... Though this is nothing that the Spirits have ever brought up before I'll admit..." She muttered to herself until she heard the boy purr and furrowed her brows, taking a step forward showing a fist but then sharply opening it to reveal a bluish white glowing orb in her hand.

"You best not mess with a Mage boy... Especially one who is older and more powerful than you!" She forewarned as her hand 'swallowed' the Orb and she stepped back. "What is this place anyway? It certainly is nowhere I recognise from any of the Maps of Sylgatera.... Let alone Baiyerloc." She stated as she tried to look for her Staff just in case it was anywhere near the rocks as well as her pack that she knew she was carrying when she knew she was last in the Tower, getting herself prepared in order to check on a village that was suspected of having a Mage there.

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell face palmed when she mentioned she might be dreaming but he did it with a little too much enthusiasm and frowned when he felt a sharp prick of pain on his forehead. He rubbed lightly on his forehead.
"You're not dreaming. This is real. Ouch. and I don't know what the Fade is but it's not there. I'm a Meta-Human. What would I be doing in the Fade? Huh? If this was a dream explain that?"
Bell nodded his head sharply in hopes that he'd been convincing enough to get her to understand that she was in real danger.

Bell glances over his shoulder and found an empty beach. They were still... sorta safe right? Bell's eyes were instantly caught on her first and the orb in her hand which reflected in his blue eyes and he stared in amazement.
"Wow! That is neat!"
He exclaimed with enthusiasm. Bell swallowed his words and frowned at her when she threatened him but his eyes filled with interest when she mentioned being a Mage.

"A Mage? Like a guy with robes a staff and awesome dark powers? You don't have even ONE of those qualities, just so you know and you also need to get your eyes checked. I'm not a boy. I'm... I'm ... nearly twenty one. I just look good for my age. Just like you do apparently. Besides, you won't hurt me. You need me. I'm a pirate and the pirate King's son so you better play nice to me or my daddy will make you walk the plank. "
Bell said bravely jutting out his chin at the female before him.

Bell folded his arms across his chest and narrowed his eyes at her.
"I ain't telling ya a think, babe, unless you're nicer to me. Better start being nice to me real quickly..."

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise sniffed quickly through her nostrils as she spotted her Staff a bit farther away from where she woke up and her pack so picked them up, twirling her Staff a little to check the Mana flow. Pleased she clipped it onto her back. "The Fade can make many things seem believable... Especially when the Demons are there...." Was all she said as her Grey eyes swept over the beach as she smoothed her armour plating and shook her skirts before she turned quickly to the.... young man beside her. Not knowing what a Meta Human was, Charlise didn't comment on it.

"These are the Robes in which I travel and battle in... And as you can see..." She motioned with a flourish of her hand, "I have a Staff.... And Mages do not tend use Dark Magic..... And that is completely stereotypical of the Blood Mages or those who practise Enthropic spells!" She stated in answer with a knowing eyebrow as she heard him describe himself as a Pirate King's son. "A King's son who collects Mussels? I wasn't born yesterday young man..... I even taught an apprentice very much like you." She stated with a pout and a slight smile as she worked out his game.

"My name is Charlise..... And that's all you need to know.... For now anyway." She put out as an Olive Branch as she unclipped her Raven silk hair and shook out her waves and curls as well as the sand, her hair reaching to her shoulder blades gracefully.

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell quirks a brow when he found her weilding a staff. Wow. What would Bull do with this woman? Bell would certainly be promoted from muscle and clam picker that was for sure. No! Bad Bell. He was aiming to help this woman. Not doom her to a live of potato peeling at the hands of that big headed loaf that currently had the master's favour. Bell smirked when he watched her point out all the the things that made her a Mage.

"Well, as you can see. I don't know anything about Mages except from World of Warcraft. Never really got into that. Jared thinks it's cool game though. He tends to do trolls though. Not Mages."
Wait, were there trolls in WOW? Bell shrugged his shoulders then blinked when she mentioned that people who had status didn't carve clams from rocks.
"Oh Fine. You're too super smart to be fooled but that's not the point. The point is you... you...you...."

Bell stared at her hair falling across her shoulders and the magestic way it went flapping in the wind. He took a deep breath and sighed out softly, almost dreamily.
"I need to get into WOW. I think if I get to play a character like you I won't need any porn. "
Bell was heading for a slapping, if she even knew what he was talking about. Chances were she had no clue. This was all as foreign to her as it was to him. This island when he'd first arrived had seemed more like a bootcamp then the 21st centuary he'd come from.

"I'll call you, babe. It's like the best compliment ever where I come from. I can think of a few other compliments like great set of rack and stuff. In the mean time, You need to get to a safer location. Its dangerous out here in the open. If I saw you, so can they. "
Bell ran a hand through his messy hair before glancing around to make sure they were still okay.
"Come on, there's like totally some kind of cave down that way. I can bring you some food later."
He pointed to the other side of the beach where more rocks stood out.

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise's eyebrows rose in confusion at the mention of Trolls and a World of Warcraft. "It seems the Maker has a bad sense of humour..." She muttered to herself with a shake of her head before smiling at his compliment of her brains. "Not used to women being smart? Well..... Put it this way young man.... At your age, I was preparing for my Harrowing. The youngest Mage to have ever completed their Harrowing, as well as the cleanest." She put it into perspective, though she doubted that it meant anything to him at this point considering his lack of knowledge of Mages.

Charlise turned to the young man when he kept repeating 'you' and raised an eyebrow whilst she shook her head and clipped her hair back up. "I wouldn't think that track if I were you..... I could easily remove your brain through your ears you know?" She stated with a smirk as she looked to where he pointed so started to walk that way, her pack on her left shoulder as her Staff swung from side to side as she walked.

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell followed her in the direction she was heading smirking at her words a little.
"What? You don't like men admiring how beautiful you are, Babe?"
He asked incredulously as he felt into an easy step beside her. He'd have to take a rest soon. He was feeling light headed again. Maybe he shouldn't have peeled the potatoes so soon. He thought he'd been given a few hours free. They got so angry when he fell into his sleep coma and they couldn't get him to wake up but really, he couldn't help it. He could only be awake for five hours max.

It was the extent of his powers.
"Oh and you'll only get my brain if you can get me..."
With that Bell stormed away leaving a plum of smoke behind bim. He only returned about two minutes later with two freshly plucked coconuts from a tree he knew of in the forest. Bell held them out for her.
"I'll give you some muscles as well for dinner and there's a fire already lit in the cave."
Bell grinned at her.

His super speed did come in handy here, way more then it had in Hammel or Pilot Ridge. He was suddenly grateful for his powers.
"I need to sleep when we get to the cave. You have to wake me in an hour. I only deep sleep for about forty five minutes really. "
Bell explained wondering if she'd kill him in his sleep or something.
"No raping me while I'm asleep though. I know I'm hot and all that but really..."

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise chuckled, "If my Mother was here she'd regale you about who she sometimes woke up next to younger men!" She smiled as she walked with the young man before he seemingly Hasted off before he returned with two coconuts and Charlise smiled. "You know you never told me your name... What shall I call you?" She asked as they approached the cave.

Charlise smiled softly as he told her about his sleep, "No need to worry about that.... I have often been the one to help settle young Apprentices to sleep.... And I use only my voice, occasionally hugs and soft touches to lull them to sleep..." She assured as she placed her pack down before rummaging inside for her Bed Roll and unrolled it, "Here..... You can use my Bed Roll to sleep on."

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell smirked when he was told how her mother would disclose personal information to him.
"Can I meet your mom then? She seems like fun."
Once in the cave, which seemed to kinda heat up, he was assured that he'd be safe and he felt a little more at ease around her. She even mentioned that she'd help put him to sleep and there went the safe thing out the window .... which the cave obviously didn't have. Bell gave a soft sigh and crouched infront of the fire pulling out two handfulls of muscles to set aside for the woman.

She unrolled her mat and he had to frown at the helpfulness she was offering him. A bedroll. She'd come prepared.
"Thank you. You're too kind. "
Bell yawned deeply before moving over to the bedroll and kicking off his worn out sneakers. He still felt uneasy about the whole thing of sleeping with a complete stranger.

"My name is Bell by the way. "
Bell curled himself up on the bedroll and watched the woman for a while.
"You'll be safe here won't you? "
He had to check. Make sure she'd be okay.

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise sighed heavily as she took out the small pot that she had attached to her pack and poured some of the water from her skin into it before placing the Mussels in. "If I knew where here was and how to bring my Mother here..... I would in a heartbeat.... I don't know why I'm here or how.... Or anything! I could really use her wisdom right now..." She sighed as she placed the pot next to the fire before she set about opening the coconuts and letting them warm slightly by the fire as she sat on the edge of the mat nearest the fire as she kept an eye on the entrance.

Charlise turned her head and smiled, "You're welcome.... Bell." She answered as he asked about her safety, leaning to her pack Charlise grasped something and pulled it out. Out of the pack came a short sword, plain in decoration but obviously well used and looked after. "I think I'll be alright..." She smiled cryptically as she slightly unsheathed the sword and gave a slight check of the silver-like sword by softly caressing the edge with her thumb before re-sheathing it and placing it by her and smiling back at Bell. "Go to sleep.... You'll probably need it..." Her voice softened as the fire light flickered slightly in her eyes.

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell gave her a soft smile. To be honest, he felt the same. He felt lost and confused himself and he wanted his mother or brother or father... Hell, even Jared would have helped. He just needed something to hold onto. Something that made him feel safe. He'd been here for way longer then she had as well. He was sure this was going to hurt real bad when she found out that she wasn't ever going back. He watched her pull out a pot, fill it with water and put it to boil with the muscles he had collected. If any of the pirates knew what he had done, he'd be in so much trouble.

Bell gave a soft sigh and curled around the bag of muscles on the sleeping mat. The cave was a little colder then he expected and like every other time before, he closed his eyes then, hoping, praying he would wake up back in his own bed in his own house. He felt awkward and strange in this POTC Fanatic's fantasy. He'd never been into Jack Sparrow and dear God, did Bull ever look like one of the characters out of one or other POTC films. Bell gave a soft sigh and shook his head at Carli.

"I'm sorry your mom's not here. I wish I could help you or give you some advice. "
Bell muttered under his breath. He watched her unseath the sword and widened his eyes a little staring at it and her as she sat at his feet before he nodded softly and let his eyes fall shut.
"Wake me soon..."
Within Bell's dream, he was back at Hammel and was playing tricks on Angie. He had Bubblet beside him and she was whispering how adorable he was when he laughed...

And then they kissed. Bell and his Bubblet, the young water manipulator whom he'd forever had a crush on, or rather since they'd met and he'd done that stupid stunt of making people come kiss him. How come he didn't get her name. Her proper name. He remember Angela. Why did he just have Bubblet as Bubblet in his mind. He can still remember what she looked like though. His shy young first kiss. Bell kept her hand in his within his dream but her eyes were full of water and then her tears washed down her cheeks. She spoke of him leaving her...

Bell shook his head, made some vain attempt at a promise that he'd always come back... but she burst into a thousand droplets of water and Bell gasped, sitting up out of his sleep so fast that he felt like he'd left half his organs behind. There was a sheen of sweat on his forehead making his hair cake to his forehead and he was panting as he tried to regain a normal heart rhythme and breathying again.

[Charlise Aura]

Charlise nodded as she saw Bell softly shut his eyes as she oversaw the cooking whilst also keeping an eye on the entrance to the cave. "You already have Bell....." She assured as she let him sleep.

When his breathing changed as he slept, Charlise grew worried so shook him a bit to try and wake him. "Bell? Bell wake up! Wake up!" It seemed the Maker granted her wish when Bell bolted up, just shy of his cheek brushing against hers as she leaned back. "Maker's Breath! What happened?!" She asked as she grabbed one of her cloths from her pack and dabbed his forehead gently, concern written in her eyes.

[The Trouble of Extensions]

There are quite a few mermaids lurking about the beach area.

---

Brought closer by the scream of the young boy, two young mermaids venture to the pools of the back of the cave. Their curiosity for the young boy is profound. The mage on the other hand, being female, is seen as the enemy. All the two mermaids want is Bell. They start singing their soft alluring song to pull the male closer, eagerly seducing him away from the Mage. They will attempt to drown the boy should he come too close.

---

From here on in, Bell will be in control of the mermaids. Please stick to character and make this fun!

[Charlise Aura]

Hearing a song she didn't recognise, Charlise turned her head to see half women, half fish creatures that were singing and causing Bell to move towards them, "What in the name of..." She started to say until her mind recognised something similar that happened when around certain savage creatures from her world, only far more sinister.

So standing swiftly whilst grabbing her sword with her sword hand, Charlise positioned herself between the Fish-Women and Bell, a fist formed by her other hand and starting to glow which she slowly brought up as she stated, "Leave us alone...." She started before she sharply opened up her hand, small bolts of lightning encircling and crackling around her hand and reflecting in her eyes as she continued, "Or I will stop you and defend myself and this boy." Her usual kind and wise tone of voice was replaced by something more primal and threatening as she held her sword ready for a fight as she stared the Fish-Women down like misbehaving children.
