A Wandering Wonder

"Nonono. It's O.K." Evan said "There will be hundred, thousands even, of sunsets. But there is only one you. I'd rather lose one of millions, than one in a million."

[Nami]

She smiled and gave him a kiss. "Aww...that was sweet."

(quick post as I'm running out the door)

[dizzi800]

Evan smiled. "Lets get back to the inn. It's starting to get cold." He said, pulling her close.

[Nami]

Nami nodded in agreement. "Good idea... it's chilly. The ocean breeze is starting to come in further now."

(back home but you don't give me much to reply to...)

[dizzi800]

When they were back in thier room, Zach sat down. "So, Nami, What happened exactally?"

[Nami]

She sat down on her bed, much less shaky than before to the point of nearly being perfectly fine save the occasional shudder. "I'm not sure. I told you...the water is like hypnotic to me. I was alright until it came close then...well you wouldn't want to hear it. It would be a bit too crazy for anyone but me to understand." She hung her head and let her hair hide her face.

[dizzi800]

Evan gently tilted her head upo. "It's O.K. It won;t sound crazy to me. Promise..."

[Nami]

She sniffled, a few little tears running down her cheeks. "Maybe I'm insane...maybe not... but the water kind of talks to me. And it was mad. Oh I don't know... maybe I'm just being weird. It's just- well it didn't like me being near you. I don't know how to describe it. Jealousy? Bah... I just don't know."

[dizzi800]

Evan wiped the tears from her eyes. "Lets just get some sleep."

[Nami]

She nodded feebly. "Right... sleep sounds good." Nami gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks... for kind of understanding more than I understand myself."

[dizzi800]

Evan smiled and tore his vest off, leaving his daggers on and lay down on his bed, waiting for Nami to fall asleep before he did.

[Nami]

As usual Nami had slept with a dagger at her hip and one under the pillow. Old habits died hard.

(sleeping x3 not much to say)

[dizzi800]

Zach woke up in a long cavern, people strung up to the walls by theirs arms and legs as far as he could see. Evan walked up to one of them, apparently asleep, or dead, and looked at what was binding them. black vines, just like the ones on his daggers. He continued to walk. as he walked, he noticed that some of the creatures, of varying species, had their arms and legs dislocated, and some were on the ground, with thier limbs torn right off. Evan started to run. He didn't now where he was running to until he saw a light. He continued to run for which seemed like forever before he reached it. "Uh... HEllo?" He said
"Ah! you must be the new owner. sleeping with them on you for the second time I see." a voice said. the light was actually a room, filled to the ceiling with books.
"Uh..." Evan replied.
"Oh, you don;t know. You're knives young one... Whats your name?" a man walked out from behind a desk Evan hadn't even seen from the tower of books in front of it.
"Uh. Evan..." He replied.
"Evan. I'm the creator of your blades there. I wielded them for two millenia, before I was slain by them myself. that seems to be the story of all of the owners. Luckily, when we are killed by the blades, our souls are not bound by the very vines the Daggers use-"
"Wait. what?" Evan growled.
"You see, the vines have to come from somewhere, where I cannot tell you, but they run through a series of holes which is what everyone who has ever been killed by the blades are tied up to. And when you use the vines, it tightens them on the souls of the captives. The blades were originally meant for punishment. But I see that that meaning has been lost on them..." The man replied. "Well, it looks like you're about to wake up. if you want to talk again, sleep with the daggers on you!"
Evan suddenly fell off of the bed. "Ungh! what the hell?"

[Nami]

Nami was still asleep, dozing lightly. This time she did not wake up from his noise and instead muttered something in another language and pulled the pillow over her head, which showed a dagger resting not far from the edge of the bed. She seemed calm if not ocassionally fitful...'haps from a nightmare of her own?
----
Two eyes stared down at her, teeth glinting in the darkness as waves rolled in and out of the blackened sea. They tried to swallow Nami down into their abyss but when she was dragged down she found herself accepting the lack of air rather than swimming up. The Water Dragon glared at her and accused her of abandoning it and the sea before the dream dissapated in a crashing wave much like a tsunami.

Evan looked over at Nami. "you awake?" He whispered.
