Ugh… groaned Maeve.

Maeve, how are you? Said Dim Dim.

Tired, oh how long have I been out?

For three days. We’re aboard the Nomad. Only I, Caipra, Deanna, and Firouz are allowed to see you. You just relax and rest for now, you need to build back up your strength.

Thanks Dim Dim.

Dim Dim got up as Caipra came in to relieve him from watching Maeve. She was relieved when she heard Maeve’s hoarse voice; she knew it wouldn’t be long till she would be shaking things up.

Deanna looked up from sitting on the bow of the ship when she felt Dim Dim come up on deck. She has kept herself isolated from getting to know the rest of the crew. She knew that their quest wasn’t over and it involved one of them now. She knew what they would do would hurt them, so it was better to keep them at a distance, so she wouldn’t deal with the pain when it finally arrived.

Dim Dim on the other hand, had kept everyone calm. The crew knew something had happened and Maeve was in the center of it. Sinbad was back to being angry with her, now that she was back on the ship, alive, but still she had dismissed him. Now only those with direct knowledge of what was going on was allowed to be near her, and screw everyone else.

Dim Dim told Sinbad to sail east. He decided he wanted to finish what he started with Bryn, and turn her completely good. He was just hoping that Maeve would back him up. So they were sailing east and hopefully Maeve could bring back the Isle of Dawn. He knew it would be a little longer till she was feeling completely better.

Deanna, said Dim Dim, Maeve has woken up.

That’s good. How much longer till she is up and about?

Probably a few more days. Why don’t you go and see her.

Caipra was relieved to see Maeve awake and speaking.

Maeve.

Caipra.

How are you feeling?

Worn out. So what do you want?

You always knew when I wanted something, but this is not just for me.

Really, well what do you and Dim Dim want to do?

We would like you to raise the Isle of Dawn so that we can continue to help Bryn regain her humanity.

I see.

You seem surprised.

I am. She tried to kill me Caipra, I would really like to return the favor.

I know Maeve, but it would also hurt your friends if you killed her. They have grown quite fond of her.

YES! I know, Maeve hissed.

So you know that they might not understand.

I also know that she will still probably want me dead, when she realizes that I killed her family.

Well hopefully we can make her understand that her family was evil.

Well wasn’t she born into an evil family, of black magic.

Yes Maeve she was, but her mother was good, so she has a chance.

Really, I need to think about this, Caipra.

Maeve don’t let you anger cloud your judgment on what is good. Bryn has a chance Maeve, if Dim Dim and I can get her under control.

I see. I will think about it, Caipra.

Thanks my dear.

Caipra got up and opened the door, while Deanna was about to knock to come in.

Deanna.

Caipra.

Be good girls.

Deanna, said Maeve, I really have a lot to think about what do about Bryn.

What do you mean, Maeve?

Caipra wants me to raise the Isle of Dawn, and help them relocate Bryn to the Isle so that they can help her with her anger problems.

Really? What are you going to do?

I should really think about it, I mean I don’t think I can hurt Sinbad like that. I would hurt him if I took her away.

Maeve you love him, and I bet he doesn’t feel like that towards Bryn. He has been so angry about how we have been keeping you guarded. So I know that there are feelings there. Talk to him.

We’ll see Deanna. What about Dermott, have you talked to him?

No. I have been pretty quiet while on board, basically I didn’t want to lose it, with them.

I see.

Well for right now I will bring back the Isle, but past that depends on her. Me using magic like that, will more than likely be too much for that damn rainbow bracelet of hers.

Maeve what do they do?

They suppress magic, memories, life, or anything else that needs to be hidden from the world.

I see.
