Alex looked to Naisha, blue eyes softening in concern at her struggle before her gaze snapped to Eva at the refusal. [color=red]"Nai's too tired for a intense battle like this and it doesn't seem your quite used to this kind of thing so you really..."[/color] Alex started before the tentacles came down on the ship. She watched as Urick dived for Eva and Naisha into his arms. Alex cursed, quickly leaping, wrapping one arm around Urick from behind, while the other arm grabbed Naisha's chair. The ship snapped and everyone ended up underwater. Alex struggled in a attempt to pull everyone back above water before reaching for Eva as she slipped away from Urick's grasp but turned her head as she saw a piece of the mast aim toward them. Grunting, she quickly shoved her Urick and Naisha before feeling a sharp piercing pain dive into her left shoulder from behind. Before her vision completely blacked out. --- [i]Her eyes snapped open, to discover she was once again in the white world. Blinking, Alex looked around to find she was a child again, sitting on a single bench within the world. The only thing colored. A pretty oak color. She sighed as she looked down at her feet, swinging her legs a little before blinking as she looked up to her left. Seeing that blonde woman sitting beside her. Tilting her head, Alex raised a eyebrow in confusion. [color=red]"Who are you?"[/color] she asked. The woman simply turned her beautiful emerald gaze on the little girl and gave a playful friendly smile. [color=plum]"Ohhhh a friend. Or maybe a princess."[/color] she giggled, causing the red head to stare at the woman in utter confusion before blinking as slender fingers snapped in front of her nose. [color=plum]"Come come now! Wake up! Or you're going to be eaten~!"[/color] she cheered. Alex blinked in confusion more before watching the woman point behind her. Turning her head, she saw a familiar Crimson muzzle and fangs crunch toward her face.[/i] --- Gasping as Alex woke up, the red head tried to sit up but a sharp pain rocketed through her shoulder. Grunting, she turned her blue eyes toward her left to see a large spike of wood impaled through her shoulder. Blood soaking the sandy beach that she lay upon. Looking around quickly, she saw Urick and Naisha, the muscular man seeming to try and shake the Mage awake. The red head forced herself to heave herself into a standing position. Before grasping the wood and pulling it out, quickly reaching in her pocket and pulling out a potion and guzzling it down. It still hurt like hell, but she felt the magic of the potion mend the wound, surely leaving a heavy bruise and severe sores on her shoulder and arm. Good thing she wore shoulder plates, otherwise that could of been worse. Tossing the wood on the sand, she went over to her friends, concern in her eyes. [color=red]"Hey, you two alright?"[/color] she asked as she knelt down and placed a hand on Naisha's shoulder before glancing around for the others, yet saw no sign of them. [color=red]"Damn. Hope the others made it out alright."[/color] she muttered as she glanced to the sea, pondering if she should scout it.
