    job info:

    It had been just over a week since their last mission, and Aayla already found herself busy once more b the job board. She had surprised herself with the last mission, how she had acted against those fire wizards, and those Cartel thugs... she felt as if she was getting a little bit better... and she felt that she was ready for some tougher challenges. She pulled a request from the board with a large smile. This job should be fairly easy... They would be in her home element at sea... It was to rescue a few sailors who had been attacked. Well, this seemed to fit in with what Kiersa beleived in as well! She quickly ran over to her team mate and offered her the flyer.

    "Good morning Kiersa... I found us another job! hehe... see it'll be easy, we just have to rescue these sailors. No fighting big gangs of fire wizards or anything this time"
    The young girl said with a large smile. She had gotten to be comfortable around Kiersa, and found herself much less intimidated to speak to the girl. They were a team now after all.

    "Zinnath will be there to help us too. And I have my water magic so we'll be fine in the water. What do you think?"
    She asked the girl as she sat down next to her, waiting for an answer.

    It had been a week since the mission in Oak Town, and only a couple of days since her job with Miss Faustus. The young nun felt that she’d maybe gotten a little stronger from those experiences… but not by much in her view of things. She let out a soft sigh as she read over the scrolls from the convent again, trying to figure out the code they were written in. It all looked like gibberish, and Kiersa knew that she’d not be able to properly read it without either A) the cypher, or B) being at the right magical rank to truly be able to use it.

    No doubt a fail-safe the sisters put in in case they were to ever fall into the hands of the unprepared… A fail-safe that rested with her now passing if the convents knowledge was to ever be passed on. The nun plopped a strawberry in her mouth, taking care to not stain or smudge the scrolls with the juices when Aayla popped up and put the flyer in her face. She was still not entirely used to her antics and choked a little on a lump of strawberry, the scrolls snapping shut as she beat on her chest to swallow the piece of fruit. “Sorry…” she apologised before she took a hold of the flyer and read it as the Slayer told her about the job.

    The nun’s face blanched a little before her face slowly became flush. “Umm… I… I don’t know…” she said hesitantly, not wanting to upset Aayla since she’d picked out this mission for the both of them to do. “Umm… thing is… um… I… I um… How do I… how do I say this… um…” Kiersa rambled before taking a slow breath to try and compose herself. “I… I can’t… Umm… I can’t swim.” She finally got it out before clasping her hands in front of herself and bowing her head towards Aayla. “I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

    Aayla chuckled softly and shook her head, placing her hand on Kiersa's shoulder, the other hand carefully picking up the scrolls and giving them over to the nun before guiding her towards her room so that she could put them away and they could get going. She was being a little forceful, and she felt bad, but she knew that they could both benefit from a job like this.

    "Kiersa... You haven't seen Zinnath lately, have you? She's grown a heck of a lot since our last mission... you won't have to swim at all. Promise. I won't let anything happen to you."
    She said confidently. She was getting herself overly excited at the idea of actuallybeing able to protect someone! At least even if it was just this simple little thing. 

    Outside, Zinnath flew around the guild hall, beating her powerful wings every so often to adjust her height before she came to the front of the guildhall, landing as quietly as her large bdy would allow before tucking her wings up aainst her body, letting them all but disappear against the patterns of her scales.


    "Come on! Zinny's waiting for us outside. You wont need to swim"
    She made sure to repeat to the young girl, hoping that Kiersa trusted her enough to believe her words.

    The nun found herself being guided back to her room by Aayla, rather forcefully actually, to which she attempted to protest before simply sighing and resigning herself to her watery fate. Her room was a rather simple affair, resembling her old cell in the convent. Just a cot to sleep on, a desk with drawers and stool, and her safe. She put the scrolls away in the safe she kept in there, sealing it with her magic. Now nobody but her could get the safe open… well, Master Zenshin probably could since he was the Master of Sabretooth after all…

    She frowned though at Aayla’s words about her serpent. “It… It’s only been a week… how much bigger could she have… got…ten…” she trailed off as she took in the sight of the massive winged serpent sitting before her. The nun rubbed at her eyes to try and equate this creature with the small serpent she had known just a week ago. “Zinnath?” she asked softly, treading carefully up to the beast, and placing her hand on the scaley chest if allowed to. The nun stood there for a dumbstruck moment before sighing and hanging her head. “Alright… I’ll come along…” said Kiersa with a sigh.

    Kiersa looked at Aayla. “But… um… one question… If I may…” she began before looking down at her robes for a moment then back at her friend. “I um… don’t think this… um… is well… appropriate for… a water mission… is it?” she asked hesitantly.

    Aayla couldn't help but giggle at the girl as she walked out to see Zinanth's large form resting there, waiting for the two girls to be read for their mission. You could almost see a smile on the Serpents face as she lowered her head to lightly nudge Kiersa as if saying hello.

    "I guess that's not the best clothes... hurry up and get changed! You should see just what Zinnath can do. We've both trained really really hard."
    She explained as she walked up to the Serpent and gently placed her head against Zinnaths and smiling brightly. It had been so long since she had felt like this, since she had felt happy. She knew that Zinnath wasn't a person, that she could be called a pet, but in her heart the Serpent was more like a sister. They had done everything together ever since Aayla had escaped the Dark mages. They ate together, slept together, trained together and fought together.

    The young dragon slayer would hop onto the serpents back as she waited for Kiersa to go and change into proper clothing. Of course, she hated the part that would come next... the flying to the ocean would ruin her stomach... not because of the motion sickness, but her incredible fear of heights...

    Kiersa blushed a little as Aayla suggested she go get changed into something more appropriate. “Um… thing is… um…” she began to say before quickly walking over to her so that only she could hear her next few words. “I um… don’t have anything else…” she quietly explained. The nun let the news sink in for a moment before she continued. “This is… um… all I have… literally…” Kiersa made a gesture to encompass her robes she was currently wearing. If Aayla were to look closely, she’d be able to see needle and stitch work to indicate repair work on the robes as well, in the exact same places as where they’d been ruined in the last mission they had gone on together a week ago.

    The nun quickly waved her hands though in an apologetic manner. “I-it’s fine though. I-I’m sure they’ll dry out on the way back. The guild… is in a desert after all…” she said softly, feeling even worse now about the situation. Aayla had seemed so excited to go on this mission, and here she was causing nothing but problems and fuss. It’s not like she could even ask for them to stop off somewhere along the way to pick up something more appropriate… since she sort of already spent the jewels from her last few jobs on the rent for the room, and gave the rest away to the charities in Crocus. The nun had never once considered the possibility that there may be missions that required a change in clothing.

    She quickly mentioned this as well to Aayla before she could suggest anything. It's not like Aayla would abduct her and drag her through every shop in Crocus to try and find something for the nun to wear...would she? Kiersa shook that thought from her head and went to get onto Zinnath's back so they could set off on their mission. The Slayer seemed far too sensible for such a tactic.

    "You know... when I came to Sabertooth... I only had a tattered dress I stole from someone's clothesline... I've got more now... if you are ok wearing my clothes... after this, we can go shopping and get you a wardrobe. What do you think?"
    She asked as she slid off of Hydrianna, stopping the nun from getting on and turning to Zinnath giving her a quick apologetic look before guiding Kiersa back inside. Maybe she had gotten a little too over-excited about this mission.... She suddenly felt terrible for putting Kiersa on the spot like that.

    "Im sorry I got so excited about this... its... its just I really like... doing jobs with you... ya know..?"

    She asked of the nun as she led her back inside to her room where she opened up her drawer and pulled out her bathing suit before going over to her closet and picking out a simple dark blue dress with a cute purple bow at the neck and a small belt around the waist. Sh put all of these things on the bed for Kiersa.

    The young dragon slayers room was rather simple looking, the only thing out of the ordinary was the excessively large aquarium that lined one of the walls. This aquarium even had a ladder leading into it. Across from that was  what Aayla liked to call her change room. No more than decorated standing panels that would allow Kiersa privacy as she changed.

    Kiersa blinked as she was led to Aayla's , still trying to process what was going on until it finally clicked. The nun blushed profusely as she was escorted. “I… I um… I would be honoured…” she said softly, in regards to wearing Aayla’s clothes for the time being. She bit her lip a little then slowly nodded her head. “After the job… maybe… I um… don’t have any jewels… Rent and then the charities in Crocus…” she explained before Aayla started apologising. “No no, i-it’s my fault. Y-you have every right to be excited…” said the nun gently. “I… like doing jobs with you too…” Kiersa assured her before gently picking up the stuff and going behind the dressing blind.

    Letting her current robes fall to the floor she began to inspect the bathing suit. It was a blue one piece number that caused the nun’s head to tilt a little. Do I stick my arms through here… or through here? She wondered to herself, biting her lip as she tried both options to see which one seemed to fit better. After a few minutes of fumbling around with the garment, she stepped out from behind the dressing blind and looked at Aayla. “Um… did… Um… did I put it on right?” asked Kiersa as she stood there… with the suit on inside out. She rubbed her arms against each other as she contemplated the strange slick material now on her body. Does everyone wear this when going to swim? She questioned briefly.

    Aayla couldn't help but giggle again as she could see th little tuffs of the skirt part attempting to stick out from where the young girls legs were, obviously having put the suit on inside out. She shook her head and motionned for the girl to put it on the right way before passing the dress over the curtain so that she could get fully dressed and ready.

    She quietly hoped the girls werent taking up too much time... they would travel much faster on Zinanth's back however... these people were in serious trouble.


    "When you get the dress on.... meet me outside. I'm going to go and see Zinnath so we can get ready to leave... those people really need our help."
    She stated as she made sure Kiersa had everthing she needed before leaving the room to go and stand by her serpent. She wasn't surpised to find a few other members there gawking at the large serpent who was now lying flat on the ground, her eyes closed as she awaited her friends return.

    The nun blushed as Aayla giggled at her and showed her where she’d gone wrong. Darting behind the veil she quickly fixed herself and with much more ease donned the familiar styled dress that she’d been leant. Once dressed she quickly made her way back outside and saw the crowd that had formed around Zinnath and Aayla. “Okay… um… let’s go then…” she said, climbing back onto the Serpent.

    Once both the girls were on board, Zinnath spread her wings and immediately took off. The nun clung tightly to the serpent’s scales, her eyes shut from the sheer velocity of the wind around them, very glad right now that she wasn’t wearing her habit, otherwise it would have been ripped off her head. She peeked open an eye as she looked down below them, her mouth quickly dropping open at the view below.

    They were just passing over Crocus now, and what a sight to behold it was from the air. “Aayla! Look! It's... it's beautiful!” she called out, her eyes looking now from the ground to the skies before them as the serpent raced through the air as if it were merely water. They got near some clouds to which the nun tentatively put a hand through when she was certain she would not fall off. She giggled as her hand trailed through the cloud, coming out moist and damp as if it had just been in a puddle. “Water… the clouds are made of water…” the nun said in a soft manner, giggling to herself before she looked towards Aayla.

    As Zinnath soared over the desert, quickly making her way over Crocus, she could hear Kiersa admiring everything she saw, from the clouds to the landscaping below. Aayla on the other hand, was hugging Zinnath tightly, looking like she would be sick once more. Little did Kiersa know, she didn’t get motion sickness when she flew with Zinnath, no she was deathly afraid of heights, and had considered on several occasions putting a saddle on Zinnath, which the serpent adamantly refused.

    The trip to the cloud sea would have taken twice as long had the pair decided to travel any other way, Zinnath was a fast flier, even while carrying two people and so, in nearly no time at all, Aayla and Kiersa found themselves flying high above the Cloud sea. It was difficult for them to see through the thick clouds, and so she had Zinnath descend so that she was flying very low against the water.

    “much better…”
    The young dragon slayer grumbled as she brought her hands up above her eyes, trying to see if she could spot anyone at all. She even sniffed at the air attempting to catch the scent of some of the survivors. It was strange… it was deathly quiet, the only sound was the sound of the waves and Zinnath’s flapping wings. They continued to fly at a much slower pace, now relying solely on her nose and the Serpents senses to find anyone nearby.

    “Zinnath…”
    She barely had to say a thing before the Serpent quickly banked left to avoid a ship that seemed to be aimlessly floating along. The ship looked like it was barely staying afloat, large chucks missing from everywhere on the ship, only one mast remained standing and it’s sail was tattered and useless. Aayla started to tremble lightly as she attempted to grip Zinnath tighter. She glanced back to Kiersa uncertainly, the fear she felt clearly portrayed in her eyes.

    “D… do you… sense anything? I… I think I can smell people but… I… It’s… scary…”

    Kiersa looked out across the foggy seas, straining her eyes to try and pierce the cloudbanks rolling around them. When the Serpent quickly banked to avoid the mast, the nun gave a squeak of fright as she clung to Zinnath. She looked back at the ship-wreck, shuddering a little before looking up at Aayla who was asking her something. It took her a moment to make it out over the beating of the Serpent’s wings. “L-let me check…” she replied, closing her eyes and taking slow breaths as she tried to Sense anything or anyone.

    She remained like that for a few moments before blinking. “Um… that can’t be right…” she said before looking below them. The nun closed her eyes once more, her features still frowning… and now growing confused and scared. “Aayla!” She called out to get her attention. “I… I don’t think I’m doing this right… I keep sensing them be-“ Kiersa was cut off as ten naga burst up from under the sea, scimitars and tridents aiming to pierce the humans and Sea Serpent. “Stigmata of Damocles! Double!” intoned the nun, the twin blades of Holy magic surging into life from her wrists, even as her hands fell limp and blood seeped out from her wrists. She held on tighter to the serpent with her legs.

    The sudden flare of light briefly blinded the naga, allowing the nun to strike out at two of the closer naga, her blades slicing into them and causing them to cry out. “W-what a-are these things?!” asked Kiersa, looking back at Aayla for a moment, crying out as one of the naga speared her in the side as a result of her momentary distraction.

    "Kiersa! Are you okay?!"
    She asked as she heard the nun cry out in pain. She quicly looked back to assess the situation and bit her lip at the sight of the blood on the nun's dress. She turned back to face the sea serpent and gave her a light pat on the side.

    "Zinnath take us up higher for a moment, please"
    She asked of the serpent who didn't protest. The sight of the Naga was a strange one, that was for sure.  She had trained in the oceans for a very logn time, and never once crossed a creature such as this... well, now would be a god idea as any to learn a little bit about them.


    Zinnath beat her powerful wings to elevate thm from the water's surface. Aayla stood up, closing her eyes and sniffing at the air. It was hard to catch the sailors scent with the smell of blood so close by, but she could just barely make out their scents on the wind.

    "Kiersa... are you okay to go and save those sailors?"
    She asked the young girl with a worried look on her face. If Kiersa was okay, then she would let her use Zinnath to transport the sailors onto the old decaying ship they had just missed. At least this way, they would be out of the water and they could transport them a few at a time back to shore.

    "If you're fine... I"ll need the naga distracted while you gather the sailors... take them on Zinnath's back back to that old ship we just missed. Zinnath will know the way... at least it will get the sailor out of the water, and remove the risk of drowning for now."
    The girls features suddenly changed once mor, changing from a passive, fearful look, to a more at least, maybe even commanding look. With Kiersa around, she felt responsible, she felt that tad bit stronger and felt she needed to protect the other girl.

    The nun hissed in pain as the Guild Marks power began to heal her wound. She offered a nod in Aayla's direction. "I... I'll be f-fine... I've... I've h-had... worse..." she assured her, offering a weak smile before tightening her eyes a little. In truth this was only the second time in her life that her flesh had been pierced. She was only thankful that this time around wasn't at the end of a paralytic toxin.

    Kiersa nodded once more as Aayla suggested she take care of the sailors. “O-of course… Even… even if I w-were not… it’s w-why we’re here… C-can't stop...” she said, taking strength from Aayla’s charge of the situation. “J-just be careful with those… things. I g-got two… but the rest… th-they’re fast.” She informed her as she peered out into the dense clouds trying to see where the sailors were at. It was when she spotted some motion on the waters surface pointed downwards. “There they are!” she said, happy to see they were still alive… then she frowned as she saw something else in the water. “And th-there they are… oh Maker no… th-they’re heading right for them!” she exclaimed before looking at Aayla then back at the water.

    The nun tentatively stood up on the Sea Serpent’s back, taking up the L-stance. “Stigmata of Longinus!” she intoned, her chest spurting out blood as the lance of holy magic shot forth, managing to spear through the chest of one of the Naga below. The creatures stopped racing towards the surviving sailors for the moment as they realised they were under attack. The nun quickly sat down, a spear narrowly missing her head as she did so.

    "I'm serious, leave them to me... I'm a water dragon slayer, remember"
    She said as she gave Kiersa a wink before she quite literally stepped off of Zinnath's back. She plummeted down towards the water, flipping her body just in time to gracefully dive under the oceans surface. 

    She had no problem keeping her eyes open underwater, or even breathing for that matter. The ocean was her home, just as it was no doubt the naga's home, so it would be fun to find out who was strongest in their own element.

    3 of the Naga were already floating belly up in the water, each having been hit by Kiersa's holy magic. She took in a deep breath of water before a magic circle appeared before her mouth.

    "Water Dragon's ROAR"
    She cried out as the water suddenly became turbulent and a jet of water shot out of her mouth towards the enemy naga. she could hear them panic at the sight of the spell, a mixx of 

    "Bllllrrrrrrrrr!" and
    "gwoooooooop's"



    As 5 of them managed to swim their way to safety. Two of the naga's having suffered a direct hit from the dragon slayers attack.

    --------------------------

    "Over here! Hey! Get us out of here!"
    Cried one of the sailors, leaning over the side of the raft dangerously as he waved his hands to try and catch Kiersa's attention.

    "Shut up idiot! What the hell is that thing?! You want it coming near us?!"
    Another sailor demanded, swatting at the firsts arms to get him to stop.

    "They're fighting those monsters aren't they!"
    The first protested, shoving him away and continuing his attempt at rescue.

    The nun watched Aayla dive into the water and gave a little pout towards the Sea Serpent. “Show off.” she said, the great beast nodding her head in a shrugging manner before they flew down towards the sailors. “It’s alright!” Kiersa called down. “We’re from Sabertooth. We’re here to help. My friends going to keep those… things busy for us.” explained the nun as she helped them onto Zinnath’s back, offering them comforting smiles to ease their minds and worries. “Don’t worry, Zinnath won’t eat anyone. She’s actually vegetarian.” blatantly lied the blonde, earning her a swift look from the Sea Serpent.

    Kiersa mouthed an apology at her before they set back off in the direction of the ship they had passed earlier. “Any of you know what those things are? What happened here?” asked the nun, trying to put out more confidence than she felt in this dense cloud fog. “Naga little Sister. Foul snake demons if I ever did see them. They just leapt out at us for no reason!” said one of the sailors, their words causing her to frown a little as the situation unfolded a little further.

    When they found the wrecked ship, Kiersa jumped off along with the sailors, earning a very confused look from the serpent. “We can’t just leave them defenceless… I can hold the situation here till you get back with Aayla alright?” she asked of the gargantuan sea serpent, who slowly nodded before she flew off in the last known direction of her Dragon Slayer.

    The serpent looked at the nun with a worried expression on her face, at first shaking her head no, that she wouldn't leave her alone in case those Naga came back, but the nun wouldn't have it. Kiersa sent her away, earning a huff from the Serpent as she beat her wings hard, turning her body around before tucking them in and diving into the water, much like Aayla had done not so long ago.

    In this fight, Aayla actually found herself having fun... these Naga really weren't all that strong... maybe they were just babies? or kids?  they didn't seem very big, and those attacks that did hit her, really wouldn't even leave a bruise, unlike those fire wizards had. She was having a blast, swimming circles around the Naga as she launched one breath after another, punched one, kicked at another and didn't even need to stop to eat her own element. It was all around her, available in abundance. She feared that she felt a little too over confident...

    Those feared washed away however as the large Serpent came slithering by, opening her mouth and chomping down on the first Naga she saw. The Serpent didn't even bother poisoning it, stunning it and let it go, she just full on started eating the Naga, causing Aayla to stick out her tongue and make a face.

    "Gross.... Zinnath..."

    Kiersa let out a slow breath as Zinnath did as she was asked to before returning her attention to the sailors. “Alright… the report we got wasn’t that clear… It said something about ghosts and demons…” she said, looking to the survivors for clarification. “Aye, ghosts and demons alright. Ye already met them blasted Naga buggers, albeit the littler ones.” said a sailor on the left. The nun blinked at this news. “Littler ones? You mean they get bigger?” she asked, the same sailor nodding. “Aye Sister, that they do. Thems be the demons that done sunk our ship, and probably near every other ship in these waters.”

    The nun sighed and rubbed her forehead as she thought about this situation. That explains the demon portion… although they’re probably not even real demons… she thought to herself before looking at the crew again. “And the ghosts part?” she asked, the crew suddenly looking very uncomfortable. “Well… ye see lass…” said one, the nun taking a slow breath before looking at him, imagining to herself what Aayla would do if she were here. “Just tell me… please. I doubt we’ll meet the ghosts anyway. As soon as Zinnath reaches Aayla and they finish off that pack of these… naga, then we’ll be headed back to land as quick as possible.” She assured them.

    The thought of getting back home soon seemed to appeal quite nicely to the sailors who began to tell her the tale of these waters, that apparently long ago a powerful dark wizard pirate once ruled this corner of the world till he was done in by his crewmates who had had enough with his dark magics. Of course, being a dark wizard, he’d cursed them for all time to become the snakes they had been in life, as well as cursing the one who had killed him to be his undead servant and herald, for so long as his own dark soul wandered these waters.

    The nun shuddered at the end of the tale and looked out to the sea, hoping that Aayla and Zinnath got back soon… she did not feel like running into any more of these Naga, or worse if true, this ghost of the Dark Wizard Pirate.

    Aayla couldn't help but laugh as she and Zinnath circled around the last, lone Naga.. this was just like training with Hydrianna all over again! and if she did say so herself, she was getting tonsa better at this whole fighting thing, especially under water.

    She let lose another underwater torrent on the last remaining Naga, Zinnath slithering in to block off it's escape, however, just as Aayla felt like she had finished it off, another much larger creature came swoopng up, catching the young young and getting it out of harms way. There was a long exchange of gurgles and whoops bfore the larger Naga let loose an underwater cry that made Aayla cringe, covering her ears from the sound of the vibrations. Zinnath recoiled, slithering away to 'hide' behind Aayla until the screech was over. Another pack of Naga, 4 more this time, adding up to a total of 6 remaining enemies.

    "Ready Zinnath? Let's take em for a ride! WATER DRAGON'S TYPHOON"
    She cried out, the water starting to rattle and shake around her being, gathering around her hands as she rought both hands up above her head. When the slayers water connected, the water around them begun to spin as if a suddenly creating whirlpool. This whirlpool however shot up high above the waters surface, catching all the naga in it's grip as they all started to spin out of control, trying desperately to swim to safety. Two naga managed to slither out of the attack, but not without having taken damage. The young Naga was flung far off, skipping against the oceans surface before it began to sink... the other 3 naga couldn't find a way out of the water funnel.

    "Zinny, shoot me up!"
    She cried out as the serpent dived deep under water, before quickly diving up again, placing her nose at the balls of Aayla's feet as they both shot out above the waters surface like bullets.

    "WAHOO"
    Aayla was having the time of her life as she leaped off of Zinanth's nose, almost seeming to fly through the air as she waited for any of the Naga to expose herself before continuing her onslaught.

    Kiersa paced the deck of the wrecked ship, her eyes casting out to the waters around and beyond them, biting her lip as she expected an attack to come out from the waters at any moment. The sailors had not been idle in the wait. They had pried up what loose boards they could that wouldn’t ruin the structure and began to form up a series of crude barricades around them for some basic protection. “Eh, if she’s fighting them monsters on ‘er own… well… mage or not lass…” one of the sailors started to say before a thwack sounded as another smacked them across the head. “Don’t say that ye half-witted ba-“ he began to say before swiftly changing his words as he realised how old the nun was, “-ad haired ninny. Can’t ye see the poor girl’s worried enough as it is?” he hissed, the first sailor muttering apologies.

    The nun shook her head. “I-it’s alright… I-I’m s-sure she’s f-fine… She did manage to t-take out fifty Fire Mages o-on her own once…” she said, offering a comforting smile to the survivors before she looked back out to the cloud covered seas, biting her lip once more as she peered into the gloom. Aayla… come on… hurry… she thought to herself before hearing an explosion in the distance. Without thinking about it she rushed over to the edge of the ship as she tried to get a better look, the sailors rushing over with her.

    Even through the dense cloud cover they could see the massive tornado of water that had suddenly formed. “By the Gods… it’s that Dark Wizard ghost, I’s sure of it!” one of the sailors said, another putting their hand on Kiersa’s shoulder comfortingly as she seemed to be shuddering. “I’m sorry Sister…” he said, before raising an eyebrow as he could hear her… giggling? “T-that’s no g-ghost… that’s Aayla!” she said, shaking her head as her friends exultant cries reached the ship, the sailors looking onwards in sheer shock. “A-at l-least one of us i-is having f-fun out here.” Sighed the nun, a smile playing across her face all the same. “Insane they are… mages, are all insane.” muttered a sailor.

    Aayla found herself upside down in midair as the funnel began to die down. The three Naga began plummeting back towards the Ocean, along with the Dragon slayer as well. One of the Naga seemed to glare at her, even though it couldn't pinpoint exactly where she was thanks to the constant spinning of the funnel. the naga took a lucky shot and launched it's trident at the dragon slayer, the weapon just passing clear through her body.

    Aayla waved to the attacking Naga as if meeting it for the first time just as they crashed into the waters surface. She wasted no time in hurling herself forward, deeper into the water before swiftly turning herself around and letting loose another roar. This time, her attack only launched the one naga back out of the water and into Zinnath's waiting jaw. The sea serpent bit down onto the creature, not giving it a chance to cry out before eating it.

    "Still gross!"
    Aayla yelled out at Zinnath from underwater, causing zinnath to just lick her lips before diving back down into the water.

    There were more theatrics once the dragon slayer and her companion dived under water. Water funnels came up out of the water, followed by water blades shooting up into the air, bursting when they didn't hit anything and turning into rain. Finally, Aayla re-emerged from the water, standing on Zinnath's back, her eyes scanning the water for the last remaining Naga that had disappeared from her sight.

    Kiersa sighed and covered her face in her palm as she and the sailors could see the bursting blades and tunnels of water from their wrecked ship. “She’s enjoying herself way too much.” She muttered under her breath, the smile still fixed on her face. The sailors looked on at the oceanic devastation before looking at the nun. “Er… can you…” one began to ask before trailing off. The nun raised her head before looking at the sailors as she tried to understand the question, realisation dawning on her. She shook her head. “N-no, I’m sorry… I-I’m not as strong as her I’m afraid.” Said Kiersa with an apologetic smile.

    “That’sss good to know!” came a voice from the water, the nun spinning around to pinpoint the source, her eyes widening as a rather large Naga leapt from the ocean and came towards her. The sailors all ran to the barricades just as Kiersa somehow leapt out of the impact zone of the beast, its trident impaling the deck board where she had been standing a moment ago. She blinked before looking at herself for a moment, the sailors equally stunned, as was the Naga. How in the Maker’s name did I just do that? The nun wondered to herself before recalling there was an enemy aboard. “Stigmata of the Seraphim! Stigmata of Damocles!” she called out, a shield of holy light radiating from her left arm, even as a blade of holy magic surged forth from her right arm. Her right hand fell lifeless as blood dripped from her two wrists.

    The Naga removed its trident from the deck and charged towards her with impossible speed for something of its size. Kiersa blocked the trident with her Seraphim shield before thrusting with the Damocles blade, the beast twisting its serpentine form out of the blades path. The nun leapt over the creature as it swung its massive tail at her, again wondering how she had managed to perform such a feat of acrobatics. The two combatants charged once more, this time with Kiersa managing to score a slash into the serpent’s side, drawing blood.
