Galen
"I don't know," he said, shaking his head as he looked around Luna to speak to Lilli,"What treasure would be so valuable that a crown prince would consider it worth his time? He doesn't strike me as an overly greedy man so I doubt its something he wants sitting in the King's keeps coffers."
Galen thought back to when he first started adventuring, hearing the tales for the first time.
"countless mysteries surround those islands. So many dark tales and legends....surely I'm not the only one who can see that he's not telling us everything?"

Vokun
The prince left the chamber after receiving his report. His physician soon joined the walking party & began asking Vokun questions of healing items int he Demon Isles.
"So your saying you have a plant with many uses"? The Man asked. Vokun nods his head. "We call Ganaja, is called Nyder's Love by others, heal many sickness". The prince tilts his head in contemplation. "Is it typically ingested via burning"? He asks. Vokun grunts in the affirmative. "Does this ingredient have a pungent scent when burned & lightens ones mind & burden when inhaled"? Garett pushes. Vokun has no comment. The prince turns & mashes Vokun's hair angerly. "You were getting Intoxicated in my medical chamber you brat"! Vokun huffs. "It help no"? He walks stately "Then was good".
The Doctor leaves the party as they reach the outer layer of the castle. The prince sighs heavily. "Well lets go brave the damned Demon Isles".

Luna
Luna put a hand to her chin as she pondered this. Garett was known for his intelligence and cunning, not to mention his bravery on the battlefield. He had a play in mind and she was beginning to question the motives of her childhood friend and the boy he linked himself to. She was deep in thought as she heard Galen speak his final words for the moment.
"There is obviously something amiss here. There's uncertainty in the air for sure, but I believe it's best if we play along for now. We all want to see the Shadow Army vanquished... it only depends on how many ideals we decide to rid ourselves of. We cannot allow ourselves to become as callous and cold as the enemy, even if they are mindless. I wish my Father were here. He'd have gotten the information out of Garett with a cup of tea and nothing more."
She looked at her companions and smiled
"Best we just make the most of what we have, hm?"

Ragnarok Company reformed at the palace gates & filed into a caravan. In a few days they made their way to the Artanian Coast. Finding themselves in The Harbor of Pearls, they waited on the captain that would be ferrying them.

Galen
The smell of salt and fish reached Galen's nose as he inhaled deeply. A smile crossing is face as he shielded his eyes from the sun to gaze out across the seemingly endless expanse of waves that stretched out before them. For a moment the fears and doubts he had harbored the entire trip had faded away.
"You smell that!" He bellowed joyously to Lillian, "That's the smell of adventure!"

Things seemed to move so quickly, between meeting up with the Prince and heading towards the docks with the others. She was glad at least to have Galen and Luna with her as familiar and friendly faces to be with. She wondered where Ben and the elves had gone, but perhaps they didn't need to come with. But to be without the whole party was a bit strange after what they had all gone through, hopefully they would all be okay when they got back from this little trip they were taking.
But, even though those thoughts lingered briefly at the back of her mind, her attention was focused almost entirely on the sight in front of her. She had never been out to sea before, and here she was about to take a trip across the ocean to an entirely new island so different from their home and so far away! It was exciting, her whole body jittering with energy as she bounced back on the soles of her feet again and again. The salty air stung her cheeks and her eye's, forcing her to keep a hand up on her especially tall hat to make sure it wouldn't not fly off into the depths and yet she was still smiling with a glimmer of joy within her eye.
"I think I can smell it!" she called back excitedly as she ran up to the end of the pier, nearly tipping over into the drink with her momentum but skillfully balancing on the tip of her toes at the edge. One leg held up as she made a spyglass shape with one hand and stared out over the lapping waves and ships that were leaving and coming in. "I-its a lot fishier than i expected!" She giggled, teetering dangerously before stepping back and dashing over to Galen and Luna. "Oh boy, I cant wait! I've never been on a ship before! This is gonna be so great, with a dangerous looking captain and the thrill of danger from every angle! Pirates and Krakens and Harpies, oh my!"
She wiggled in excitement, bobbing back and forth and swinging her hips to a little mental tune. "Doot doo, doo doo... Oh! When's the captain going to get here? are we gonna get some grand Galleon with cannons and... and, like, many sails! I hope so!"

Luna
Luna took a deep inhale and almost immediately coughed something up. Such a revolting smell. Almost as bad as a mass of corpses. She starred out at the water, admiring the sight of the seemingly endless blue sea. She barely had a change of clothes ready for the trip. A deep black dress with a straight skirt practically hugging her thighs. Her rapier's holster still wrapped around her hips, holding it in place however her dagger was nowhere to be seen. At least not in plain view.
Travelling across the sea was far different than land. She had made most of her journey by foot so the caravan trip was a nice break. She glanced at her companions, giving them a courteous smile. "I am almost positive we won't have something that nice Lilli. I doubt we're worth that much at this point. One battle is not enough to prove your worth, no matter how hard you fight. I will be comfortable as long as we're not going across the water in a rowboat."

Galen
"As long as it's sturdy and keeps afloat." Galen said as he leaned over running the tips of his fingers over the water's surface, his gauntlets in his pack. "Swimming in armor is.....ill advised." He chuckled deeply.
"I'm sure wharever our boss acquires will be more than adequate."

Vokun
"It may not be the Royal Flagship, Halishak, but our guides ship will be more than adequate". The prince said as he patted her shoulder. "Now be wary, she is a privateer...". Vokun covered his nose to filter the disgusting scent of an Artanian Harbor. "Come quick, stupid kingdom stench make me sick". He said. "Smell like Mother Bear had brat with White blood".

Privateer... The word rang a bell in her head but she wasn't too sure exactly on it. But the word sounded kinda cool!
"Privateer... Privateer." Liliana muttered to herself, her incessant bouncing undeterred by the hand on her shoulder. She didn't have a single instrument on her right now but there were soft sounds of instruments clanging about in her large backpack every single time she rocked back and forth. A twang here and a thump there, but she didn't seem worried right now about them.
"Whats a whiteblood?" she asked as the weird looking boy made mention of it, he talked funny but she was okay with that. It was weird in a cute way! She quickly gasped as words flowed from her mouth seamlessly, "Are they like, ghosts? or maybe they're pale monsters that are really just sweethearts, whatever they are it sounds really neat! I wanna, I wanna know!"

Vokun
Vokun rubbed his nose. "White blood"? He thought of the creature. "Bastard elf bit by Vampire". "Change like ghoul but not ghoul...can use magic". He makes a disgusted face with the memory. "Can tell if around by leaking pus & spoiled blood". He shook his head. "Not like Vampire clan, many monster, most disgusting, most dishonest".
The prince faked a cough to hide a laugh. "Its also a derogatory slur towards Dark Elves". Vokun huffed at the additional information. "So as we wait on our Captain lets go over the plan". He says. "We are traveling to the Daemonium Insulae ,aka The Demon Isles, to request assistance of its inhabitants". "The is without our Company's first real Quest/Contract". "Its of a senior class as well, so find yourselves".

Vras Ari
The elven assassin stepped in, seemingly from behind a small mob of passing sailors. "For your information our blood is blue, not that I would expect humans to know, one seldom sees their betters bleed"

Zaphia had returned from the battle fatigued. She told Kelaith the tale of the battle, and they ended up in bed. Zaphia woke, or at least she thought she did, but she found herself in a forest deep in her homeland. But something was wrong, there were no sounds, not of wildlife, of wind rustling the trees or anything, until she heard a great roar, a fire. But it was no ordinary fire, the flames that licked at the trees all around her were purple and black . Unsure of her surroundings, Zaphia ran, but as she did so she heard a female voice call to her, mock her.
Words like 'coward' and 'fool' rang through her ears. 'where are you going?' 'what do you hope to accomplish?' followed.
Zaphia slowed and tried to search for where the voice was emanating from, but she couldn't pinpoint it. She decided to keep running as the flames were licking closer and closer to her. Eventually shit hit a wall of pure wood, but found she could run up it. the sound of her feet on the wood echoing in her ears as she climbed higher and higher.
She reached a plateau and looked down, no longer were the purple and black flames following her, nor was the voice. she quietened herself and began to meditate. After a short moment she opened her eyes and found herself on the stern of a boat, though people were doing stuff around her, she had made it there unseen. She also found herself fully geared and armed.
"follow the flames" she head whisper in her mind as she stood up. She then noticed the rest of the people she had seen the other day board the boat. It seemed the goddess' had plans for her yet.

She would have thanked him for the information, but Liliana jumped a bit as the dark elf came out of seemingly nowhere, she was so sneaky! It was scary but... also really cool! She wondered how she did it so easily, and maybe she could help her learn how to do it sometime. But who knows, she probably wouldn't but it was always worth a shot!
"H-hey! Hi! Uh, are you coming with us too?" She asked with a nervous smile, clasping her hands behind her back. But it was then that she heard the crashing of waves and the creaking of wood and as she turned around she saw the boat as it was coming into port, it wasn't as grand as she expected... but it was just as good! It was good looking and it made her just as excited. It was fairly large in size, at least she thought it was, she hadn't seen too many ships herself. Her eye's widening and her mouth dropping open with slight awe.
"Oh wow, that's so cool!" she said, barely even waiting for the ship to dock and allow them to board. She was fast to jump on, giggling with glee the whole way.

Vokun
Having secretly hoped that the damned boat would never come Vokun groans. "Hate boats, hate water....better find what need Prince".
