"Well I'm a loner, so tell me the name and I may be able to tell if I've been there before or not." I shrug trying to be helpful.
"Trust me. You do not know. We may be there in two days, if we're lucky.. The path is just treacherous.. I only remember the path and the horrors... So go to sleep. You'll need your sanity."
I wake up, disturbed from my dream and leaps up, pulling out my dagger looking for the enemy I am continually told of What does he mean?!?! I hiss in frustration realizing the enemy isn't there and I sit back on the bed pulling down my ruffled shirt.
I sigh and fold my arms again. "Relax and don't give yourself a heart attack." I mutter. "I don't plan on sleeping any time soon."
"Narkio? Please come out here.." I say. "And LoneStar, tomorrow, you will witness terrors like no other. I will make you sleep, if you don't willingly. That's how much I want you to sleep right now. It's all I can do to stay at the wheel right now.."
I walk out to where Smighter and LoneStar are "Being nice to each other?" I ask amused and sit at the front of the boat "How much longer?" I mutter hesitantly.
"Long." I say miserably. "I'm going as fast as I can, sadly. And not there, here." I say, moving my foot towards my back right.
"Ummm I'm missing something here...Narikio? What's that? Oh and Smighter I'll sleep for an hour before we get there. I'll be up to make sure you don't have a heart attack." I half smile at the end.
I sigh "I strongly remember where we are going." I murmur and moves a hand to my throbbing ribs. "He knows we are coming to him. But what if..." my voice trails off to a silent whisper.
"I'm Narikio. It's my true name from when I was younger." I answer LoneStar's question, my voice pained and miserable.
I don't reply and just stare at the night sky as The clouds float past the gleaming stars and reddish-orange moon and my eyes widen, I stand quickly walking to my room.
"Um you're holding your ribs. Is there anything I could do? I can heal a good amount if injuries if it's hurting." I shrug not knowing what to do or say. "Sorry I don't know. So how can I help other than sleeping."
"Where are you-" I look at the moon. "Get below decks, now! LoneStar, to your cabin! Narikio/Tess! Under the captains Quarters! Stay below decks! You may look through windows if you'd like but do NOT come up here!" I hiss, and whisper to myself. "Bad luck.."
I form human and put down the sack of food "Start a fire?" I ask and open the bag, laying out the food we'll need to cook.
"Narikio/Tess, use some bandage material stuff down there and wrap it around your waist, it'll help. LoneStar, the most help you can do for all of us is go below decks, NOW!"
I start seeing the ghostly apparations of my past float onto deck, haunting me. I mumble something inchoherent and start counting off their names, "Delphin.. Memories.. PlaceNameHere.. Dvoraki.."
