☆fenrir☆ After the reflection in the mirror faded, Fenrir was left alone with his thoughts and the strange items in his hands. It was no secret what he was trying to do and what his goal was, but the real question was how much his crew knew about what he was willing to do to bring Freya back. Would they still follow him if they knew that he was making deals with dimension witches and using items not from this world? None the less, talking things over with Fantine would help clear any confusion in his mind so he put the 'radar' and the 'scouter' into a rucksack and left his cabin. The SkullKracken was already on course to NeverIsland where they were to drop off their captives until Samhain, but from there they could start the search for the Dragon Spheres so that they could summon Koryuu. All this would sound ridiculous when he would explain it to Fantine, but he trusted her to trust him and believe him.
When he stopped infront of her door, Fenrir tapped on the wood out of politeness but opened it shortly afterwards anyway, " I need to speak with you," He began, closing the door behind him securely so that no one else could hear their conversation.
☆videl☆ Videl mirrored her warm smile and rubbed his hands together, " How about tomorrow? We can start slow and work our way up through the week! We'll have you fighting like a professional in no time!" If training Nemesis turned out well, maybe he could propose the idea to Jecht about training the rest of the crew. If the crew was stronger, defending the ship would be alot easier.
☆protettore☆ Protettore didn't want to be rude and interrupt Charlie as he spoke, but a lot of alarms did ring out in his mind. First, he didn't even know what is was that he was supposed to retrieve. Finding a paper crown in an ocean seemed impossible. Second, how was this supposed to train him for anything? Third, why was there a bird on his shoulder? Fourth, even though Jecht was scary, why wasn't he the one giving these instructions? Not that Charlie wasn't good enough or anything! But of all this, the most pressing matter was...
" I don't know how to swim."
He probably should have told Trixxtal this before getting on the FlyingDeath, but he never thought that swimming would ever be a problem!
☆trixxtal☆ Now that Protettore was finding friends on the ship, Trixxtal could rest a little easier. But this thing with Jecht...it was weighing him down just like the anchor Jecht threw into the ocean. Things weren't always this rocky and he could usually control his sass whenever Jecht's anger took over, but with all this stress with his brother's disappearance and the responsibly of Protettore that had been thrust upon him, things were difficult. Cepheus certainly didn't make anything better. Infact, he just made Trixxtal's mood even worse and when he was around, Trixxtal just couldn't control his tongue.
Trixxtal sat down on his bed and sighed deeply. Even though it was Jecht who needed rest, Trixxtal was definitely feeling worn out as well. He made sure to leave a space when he climbed into bed for Protettore on the other side for when he finished playing with Charlie. He tried to get comfortable but something hard digging into his side stopped him from doing so. When he rolled over and reached into his pocket to find the object, he pulled out the pocketwatch Jecht had given him. The words that Jecht had said were engraved in his heart and he remembered them whenever he looked at the watch. He didn't question if he meant something to him, he knew he did, but that didn't stop him from being insecure at times.
"I'm like this because of you; I am hurt because of you!"
The words stung his heart and Trixxtal closing his eyes, his fist clenching around the watch in his hand. Crying alone in his room was just as low as he could possibly get so he opened the desk drawer next to his bed and gently placed the watch in it. He was still furious with Jecht but that didn't mean he would treat the pocketwatch like shit. If he ever damaged it out of anger, he would never forgive himself for being so careless. But still, the watch belonged in the drawer, atleast until his emotions leveled out, or when Jecht stopped being a douchebag. That bastard. With the watch out of his side, Trixxtal rolled back and attempted to go to sleep. But even from the drawer, he sound hear the faint 'tick-tick-tick' of the watch and he growled in frustration.
Gwendolyn is the youngest member aboard Fenrir's ship and uses light magic. A year ago, her and three of her friends all sold their souls to a "demon" in exchange for magical powers, but when her parents caught her summoning a magical creature, they kicked her out of their house. Along the way she met Fenrir, and feeling sorry for her, he took her aboard his ship. She isn't strong enough to use her magic for fighting, but she serves as the ship's healer.
Unbeknownst to her, she sold her soul to Kyuberos of Wiz using one of his time traveling Nyankos and the collection date is coming up soon.
☆trixxtal☆ Every word from Jecht was like a stab in the heart, but Trixxtal still refused to turn around. If he wanted, he could steal his own ship and find his own brother his goddamn self, Jecht was just making this a whole lot easier. Okay...maybe it was more than that, a lot more than that, but Trixxtal was angry so he didn't bother thinking nice thoughts about Jecht right now. When Jecht started coughing again, he was tempted to see if he was alright, but his stubbornness won out and he stayed put. If there was one thing Cepheus was good for, it was making Jecht stronger with his blood. All Trixxtal needed to do was ignore him until he gave up and went down to his room to feed. Instead, he held his finger out to the bird so it could perch itself on there, " Hello," He smiled at the parrot, vaguely remembering Jecht calling it....Dave? He stroked the top of its head with his other hand and tried to listen to what Jecht was doing. He totally missed what Jecht said to Charlie because he had been paying attention to Dave, so he only heard Jecht's footsteps retreating. He let out a sigh of relief and hoped that after he fed, Jecht would feel a lot better, or atleast get some more rest.
" I think I'm going to get some rest as well," He muttered to Dave as if he could understand him and dejectedly walked back to his room. He didn't worry about running into Jecht because he would no doubt be feeding right now, so he didn't hurry. It surprised him when he found Charlie outside his door, speaking with Protettore. A small smile spread across his face at the thought of his young nephew making friends on the ship. Since there were no other children on board, he had been worried about Tori being bored all the time. At least now he would have someone to talk to other than Jecht and himself. " Ah, Charlie, how nice of you to play with Tori!" He cooed, patting Tori's head.
☆protettore☆ Tori had been sleeping peacefully when there was a knock at the door, awakening him from his slumber. He slipped out of bed and sluggishly walked to the door, opening it. Infront of him was a man he had never seen before. After last night's attack, he was weary of people he didn't know incase they were here to take over the ship again, but he figured that if this guy was bad, Jecht would have alerted the whole ship. Also, this man wasn't a wizard like the last intruder, but a vampire like the rest of them. He was probably just one of the crew members he hadn't met yet. " Um...yes?" he asked. Before the vampire could reply though, Trixxtal came trudging down the steps. Even from where he stood, Tori would feel the sadness surrounding his uncle. Infact, now that he thought about it, the stranger vampire was oozing sadness as well. If they were hundreds of years in the future, Tori might even compare him to one of those cartoons where a dark cloud followed a man around and rained on him all the time. It made Tori want to sit him down and talk about his feelings. Because he was caring like that.
" Make sure to be safe and don't break anything!" His uncle laughed and closed his door, leaving Tori alone with the vampire in the hallway. Tori was confused what that even meant, but he disregarded it. He was used to his uncle's strange behavior already. Instead he turned back to the blond and tilted his head, " What does Jecht want to tell me?" He asked.
☆videl☆ Videl's sit-ups were interpreted when someone said his name and greeted him. He stopped halfway through his sit up and turned his attention towards the voice. It was impossible to mistake that voice for anyone else, seeing that she was the only female on the ship, and Videl quickly stood up, greeting her with a small bow, " Ah, my princess, what brings you here?" Wiping the sweat away from his forehead, he beamed his brightest smile at her as he waited for her answer. " Oh no, no, no! Please, interrupt whenever you'd like, my lady." At the mention of the wizard, Videl's mood darkened slightly, " Ah, that blasted wizard! If only I had been stronger...." He shook his head, " Of course! If my assistance is what you require, then my assistance you shall have! I shall teach you everything I know! By the time we're done, you shall have enough pasión to rival that of a thousand suns, princesa!"
☆fenrir☆ Fenrir could only stare in awe at the items in his hands. He tended to stay far away from wizards and their tricks, but it always amazed him at what they were able to do and create. The items in his hands were so advanced that he was scared to try them out in case he ended up breaking them or make a fool out of himself. But with these, he could summon the dragon that would create a body for Freya so that she could walk among the living once more, so there was no argument what so ever whether or not he was going to use them. All he had to do was familiarize himself with this...strange magic items. " I understand," He nodded, turning his attention back to the mirror, " Thank you for your help. I will contact you when I find half of the spheres to make sure I am on the right track."
Born in a small port in Italy, it was only by luck that Protettore grew up to become the most feared mafia boss in all of Italy. He was born to his parents Alexandre and Gianna Rousseau, who were both vampires, making him a pureblood. Pureblood vampires are rarer than changelings, and also more powerful, and it was only a matter of time before he became more powerful than his own parents. But as he was growing up, he didn't embrace his vampire side as much as he should have. His parents were living in a village full of humans and had ordinary lives, so Protettore was surrounded by humans growing up. He became so attached to them that his father would have to filter blood into a cup for him to drink because he couldn't stomach the thought of biting a human. His parents had no trouble adapting to his chosen lifestyle, but the same could not be said for his grandfather. Giancarlo, his mother's father, was a pureblood just like himself and possessed an incredible amount of power. With that power he controlled the most powerful family in Italy, the Provenza clan, consisting of vampires, and planned for Protettore to join when he became old enough. But one look at his grandson made him turn up his nose and formally disown him from any inheritance he would get, his mother included.
But his parents lead a stable enough life where they could remain living comfortably in the small port town and Protettore grew up without any worry. Hiding his vampire side was not hard, since he was scared about biting humans in the first place, and as long as he was fed it wasn't a problem.
When he was reaching nine years old, tragedy struck. Pirates raided the town one night, and if they had been normal humans his parents could have fought them off. But they were not like normal pirates and were in fact a gang of supernatural beings. Most of them turned into wolves and fought with his parents, but there was one that resembled a simple human being. But he ended up being the biggest threat. He was an exorcist and with one touch of his hands, both of his parents dropped to the group. Horrified, young Protettore had to watch as his parents were collected on the back of the wolves and taken away. Tori was left alone in his house for two weeks until an unlikely savior arrived. Another pirate shipped arrived at the dock, and along with it, two strange men appeared. Through a misunderstanding they thought he was the one who destroyed the home and took his parents away, until he admitted his name was Protettore. As it turned out, one of the men was his long-lost uncle, his father's brother, who had recently came into contact with Alexandre and was there to visit, only to find the house in complete disarray. When his uncle found out that his brother and wife had been taken by a band of pirates, he vowed to save them and return them to Italy. But he couldn't just leave there Protettore alone, so they packed up his stuff and took him aboard their pirate ship.
Apparently, the other man Protettore's uncle was with was the captain of a notorious pirate ship called TheFlyingDeath. Everyone on board were also vampires, with the exception of the humans they kept in the cellars for food, and Tori was surprised to find that his own uncle was the first mate. Now that they had more of a chance to talk, Tori came to discover a lot of things about Trixxtal. Despite being a pirate, he wasn't a bad guy and seemed trustworthy enough. It was Jecht, the captain and Trixxtal's strange companion that scared him the most. But the rest of the crew members were nice and welcomed him with open arms, and for a while, he wasn't alone anymore.
But Tori's life would never be that easy, and after only a day of being on the ship, it was attacked by the very same pirates that took his parents. Captained by a werewolf, the pirates attacked the FlyingDeath and a deadly fight broke out. Even Tori ended up participating in a battle against a young magician, his first physical fight ever. He didn't win, but he didn't loose either, and he was able to hold his head up along with the other victorious crew members. But disaster struck when they discovered that Trixxtal had been taken away to the enemy ship in the midst of battle. Now without his uncle on board, he was truly alone and was forced to deal with Jecht's wrath with the rest of the crew. But they continued their search for Tori's parents, now with the renewed goal to save Trixxtal, so Tori remained on board.
Somewhere between then and recovering Trixxtal, Jecht began training Tori to get stronger. Under Jecht's strict teachings, Tori learned how to become the vampire he was always meant to be, but his parents sheltered him from. By the time they found NeverIsland, the island where the werewolves were hiding, Tori was already a coldblooded killer. Despite his young age, he once again participated in the battle but this time, with more blood lust. He fought to kill and took no prisoners, astounding even Jecht. He was overjoyed when they successfully recovered Trixxtal and his parents and returned to Italy. But Tori, and everyone else, would soon come to discover that he was not the same child he had been before stepping on board that pirate ship. He no longer drank blood from cups and instead hunted for his prey on his own, even going as far as killing humans. His parents weren't angry with his progression, but they wished that he would return to being their baby boy again. But the change was irreversible and Tori soon found himself craving a more adventurous life than the boring one he had in Italy. So when he was fifteen, he joined Jecht on his adventures and became apart of his crew once more.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE He was surprised to find that Trixxtal had left the FlyingDeath, but that didn't deter him from joining Jecht's crew. Now that he was there a member instead of simply being there because he was Trixxtal's nephew, he was treated like one of the crew and received no special treatment. But it wasn't hard to see that Jecht still treated him like an apprentice and they had more of a father-son relationship than Tori had with his own biological father. During his second time at sea, Tori became more angry and vengeful than ever before, picking up many of Jecht's characteristics without noticing that remained with him as he grew up. But eventually, the age of piracy wore out and Jecht retired from being a pirate and Tori returned to Italy. His parents were even more displeased with the monster he had become and sent him off to live with his grandfather, Giancarlo.
Life in the mafia family wasn't much different from being on Jecht's ship, and since he was the Don's grandson, he did receive special treatment. He rose through the ranks rather quickly, just like his father had years before, but he also came to surprise everyone with how strong he was. Jecht's training had left him with many skills that could apply to the mafia and any displeasure Giancarlo had for Tori when he was child had completely disappeared. Years passed and Tori remained in his grandfather's family, growing up into a frightening young man with more power than he knew what to do with. He soon began to grow bored within the Provenza family and found entertainment elsewhere, usually picking fights with the other vampire mafia clans around Italy. One day he picked a fight with a high ranking member of the Giordano family, earning him the unwanted attention of the Don.
He challenged Tori to a battle, if he was so brave to fight own of his men, and Tori, who was young and hotblooded, agreed without a second thought. The fight was the worst Tori had ever been in, and for a moment he honestly thought he was going to die, but through sheer willpower, he came out victorious. As in tradition, the Don surrendered to Tori and offered his title, and family to Tori for winning. But Tori didn't want to earn respect like that and refused. But he did quit the Provenza family to join the Giordano's, so that he could work his way up the ranks there. Giancarlo was not pleased with Tori's decision and demanded that he stayed in there family, but Tori refused and instead challenged him to a fight. Surprisingly, Tori won the fight and became Don Provenza, only to formally resign and join the Giordano's.
With his power evident to everyone in the family, it was no surprise that he climbed the ranks in a matter of months. It was only a short while until he became the Don's right hand man, and then a few years later, he challenged him again to a fight, but this time he was ready for the consequences. He beat the Don for a second time and officially became Don Giordano, a title he has held ever since. He has fired or killed many of the old members and replaced them with his own men that he could trust, but one of the few he carried over was friend Vencentio Russello, who had been with him when he was rising through the ranks as a Giordano grunt. He made Vencentio his right hand man and completely changed around the Giordano family's way of life, catering it his own wants and needs. This has proven very successful as he is now the most powerful mafia Don in all of Italy, and probably the world. He works closely with the Provenza family and many other families across the country. The only other family who has enough balls to go against him is the Rioz family, but Tori has plans in the near future to bring them down too.
Grandfathers; Giancarlo Provenza - Maternal grandfather. Pureblood. Tori used to be a disgrace to him but now Gianocarlo cannot be prouder of his grandson. He loves to tell people about how his "strong grandson" kicked his ass in a fight and backs him up 100%. Him and his family are responsible for most of the dirty work the Giordano family does. Jacques Marquis - Paternal grandfather.Human. Died many years before Protettore was born, but his father said that if he had been alive, he would have been ecstatic that he had a grandson.
Grandmothers; Renee Provenza - Maternal grandmother. Pureblood. In name only. Giancarlo was already with another woman by the time Tori was born and he has only met Renee once or twice in his life. Last time he heard she was in the Caribbean. Madeleine Marquis - Paternal grandmother. Human. Died many years before Protettore was born. Loved children and would have loved him too.
Father; Alexandre Rousseau - Biological father. Changed Vampire. He and Tori had a great loving relationship when he was a child, but all that changed when Tori went to live with Jecht. Their current relationship is rocky, but stable, only after many years of fighting. Protettore much prefers his uncles over his parents any day.
Mother; Gianna Rousseau - Biological mother. Pureblood. Tori was closer to her than his father as a child, so she was the one most willing to accept his new personality. His relationship with her is much better than his father, but they still don't see eye to eye, especially now that Tori is a mafia don. He still sends her mother's days cards.
Siblings; Anastasio Rousseau - Biological brother. Pureblood. Anastasio was born many years after Tori, during the years he was off living with Giancarlo, so he wasn't around for most of his childhood. But once Tori found out he had a little brother, it was hard to separate them. He was the only one Tori was warm to, and to this day Tori is very protective of him. He was reluctant to let Anastasio join the mafia family, knowing how rough and brutal it got, but he eventually agreed, if only to keep an eye on him. He feels much safer now that Izel is looking after him, but Tori still worries from time to time.
Uncles; Trixxtal Rutella - Biological uncle. Changed Vampire. During the short time they were on the FlyingDeath together they had a good relationship. After Trixxtal was rescued, Tori only had a few more days with him until they reached Italy, but Trixxtal said that if Tori ever needed anything, he would be there. It would a couple more years until they saw each other again, when Tori joined Jecht's crew, but it was only for a short while because Trixxtal was just picking up his belongings from the ship. More years passed until Jecht retired and Tori saw Trixxtal again. He was living in America in the colonies and Tori stayed with him for a few months before returning back to Italy. Over the next years Trixxtal would come to visit, sometimes with Jecht, other times alone, but he remained a constant presence in his life. He wasn't quite caring enough to fill the mother roll, or strict enough to be his father figure in his life, but he played the part as uncle very well. Currently, he and Trixxtal's relationship is as good as it ever has been and Tori will never pass the chance to have his uncles visit.
Even though Trixxtal is biologically his uncle, Tori addresses him as his father and has dubbed him the grandfather of his children.
Jecht Rutella - Adoptive Father. Changed Vampire. In a surprising turn of events, Jecht is the closest person Tori knows that he considers a father, despite being the only one who isn't blood related to him. During his time on Jecht's ship as a child and teenager, although hard and challenging, has made him come to love and respect him as a parental figure. Everything he did in his grandfather's famiglia, and then his own, was to make Jecht proud of him. He won't ever call Jecht "father" to his face and will always address him by his name, but will always strive to be the best son he can be to him.
Partners; Celia Donati - Lover. Pureblood. Celia is a member of a lower family that serves the Giordano family. She immediately caught Tori's attention when he was a grunt, and when he became Don he started to request more things from her family, and that it should all be delivered by her personally. They fell into a romantic relationship that still remains intact to this day, but not as intense. They have a child together named Donatella and she lives with Celia in a house away from the mafia families.
Children; Ryoichi Rousseau - SUBJECT TO CHANGE - Adoptive son. Changed Vampire. Ryoichi was an orphan living on the streets of Japan with Ryuunosuke. The orphanage they had lived in had burnt down, forcing them to live on the streets. They were about to die of starvation when Protettore came across them and gave them money for food. The next night he returned and offered them food himself. The next day he brought another man with him and took them back to Italy. From that point on Ryoichi has lived as the son of Protettore and Vencentio and the brother of Ryuunosuke. He is constantly eager for his father's approval and would do anything to please him. He was a human, but made the decision to be changed into a vampire by Vencentio when he got old enough. Ryuunosuke Rousseau - SUBJECT TO CHANGE - Adoptive son. Changed Vampire. Ryuunosuke was adopted alongside Ryoichi by Protettore and Vencentio and they treat him like their son. In Tori's eyes there is no difference between Ryo and Ryuu and loves them both the same, but is tired of them fighting for his attention and has left them to sort it out themselves. He was originally a human but was changed into a vampire by Vencentio when he was old enough. Donatella Giordano - Biological daughter. Pureblood. Dontella is his daughter with Celia and lives in a mansion with her mother. She has been prohibited from the fortress by Tori so she doesn't get mixed up with his mafia business, but he still sees her every week. He isn't scared of Donatella joining the family when she gets older, but for now, he want to preserve her childhood, just like he did with Ryoichi and Ryuunosuke.
Subordinates; Vencentio Russello - Changed vampire. Friend. Vencentio was a member of the Giordano family when Tori kicked Don Giordano's ass and became one of his first friends when Tori joined. Tori was paired with Vencentio many times for assignments and missions that brought the two together. When Tori became Don Giordano he immediately promoted Vencentio to his right hand man, as there was no one he trusted more to fill the role, and they have remained that way ever since. When Protettore adopted Ryuu and Ryo, Vencentio was the one who took care of them while he was working, leading them to believe that he and Tori are their parents. Protettore harbors romantic feelings for Vencentio but has not made a move, and probably will not do so any time soon. Ampellio Ruggiero - Pureblood. Alpha. Ampellio was one of the members that remained in the family when Tori took over. He was a grunt just like Protettore, but he could see that he was different from everyone else and decided to keep him in the family, even promoting him to be right under Vencentio. While everyone else is scared or uncomfortable by him, Protettore only sees him as a subordinate and doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. He is fully aware of the feelings Ampellio harbors for him, and he sometimes uses that to his benefit. If anything he admires Ampellio's undying loyalty to him. Valente Mancini - Wizard. Employing Valente had been a spur of the moment decision, but Tori hasn't come to regret it...yet. For all of the grief that the wizard causes, both with his mafia family and his literal family, Tori is glad to have such a powerful wizard by his side. He keeps Valente safe because of their mutual agreement they made when Valente joined, but over the years, he has genuinely become fond of the wizard. He wouldn't say that they would be considered friends, but Tori doesn't hate his company. Videl Caballero - Changed Vampire. Marie Maya Caballero - Halfblood. Diego Caballero - halfblood. Marcellina Machiavelli - ??? Olivier Nott Tegan Rowen Izel Itotia

☆trixxtal☆ " I will continue this sassy attitude as much as I like Jecht and yo-" Trixxtal spoke over Jecht's words until the parrot arrived out of nowhere, landing on the captain's shoulder. It's sudden appearance was enough to bring Trixxtal into silence and soon confusion when Jecht seemed to accept it's presence. Still, it wasn't enough to make him forget the matter at hand which was getting Jecht to rest, so for now he pushed the parrot issue aside. Jecht appeared to do the same too when he continued his rant. " But you're not fine! You passed out after that wizard disappeared, how can you say that you're okay?!" His voice rose along with Jecht's but the other plowed through with his argument, ranting on and on about wizards and strangely Protettore came into the conversation and how training would be beneficial for the young child. Not that Trixxtal couldn't object. He wanted his dear nephew to be capable of fighting off his attackers, whomever they may be, and there was no better teacher than Jecht. Additionally, it was better for him to learn at a young age so he could get better with time. Hell, maybe Jecht was right when he said that Tori could become something great. Purebloods normally did. Whether it was Jecht's intention or not, Trixxtal could feel the fight draining out of him and he slumped his shoulders, ready to just say fine walk around as much as you want see if i care until Cepheus came out from the shadows.
Immediately, Trixxtal's stance straightened and he pulled himself back as far as he could without having to take a step backwards. On top of creeping him the fuck out, Cepheus always managed to make his blood boil. The grim didn't even have to say anything, just merely had to be in his line of sight, or even be mentioned, and Trixxtal's mood would shoot straight to fuckthatville. Every word that tumbled from his mouth fueled Trixxtal's anger even though what Cepheus was saying only proved that he was right about Jecht's health and also praised their relationship at the same time, and Trixxtal still had the overwhelming urge to push him off the side of the ship watch as the sharks tore him apart.
Even after he left the two of them alone, Trixxtal's mood remained the same, " Yes, Jecht." His glare snapped back to Jecht and his voice sharp like a crack of a whip, " Listen to dear Cepheus and go back to your room to feed," He angrily dug around in his pocket for the hook, shoving it into Jecht's palm once he found it, " you sure look like you need it." He spat before turning around and storming back to his little pile of origami crafts. He barely acknowledged the parrot that landed on his shoulder and couldn't bother to shoo it off, so it remained. He stubbornly refused to turn around to see if Jecht was affected by his words and kept his eyes on the crowns. In the middle of the pile was the largest one, decorated in jewels and diamonds that they had raided from other ships. That was the one that he had made for Jecht and he had intended to give it to him, but that was before Cepheus showed up and everything went downhill. Taking the crown in his hands, he dramatically threw it off over the side of the ship, watching it as it fluttered into the ocean and slowly dissolved. " That'll teach him," he told the bird with a pout, and yet it didn't make him feel any better.
☆videl☆ "One thousand-nine hundred-ninety six...one thousand-nine hundred-ninety seven..one thousand-nine hundred-ninety eight," Videl muttered angrily under his breath as he pushed himself back up, "One thousand-nine hundred-ninety nine..." Hours had passed since he started his workout routine, but despite the ache in his muscles and sweat dripping into his eyes, he did not stop. No, this was his punishment for letting that blasted wizard get the upper hand on him and attack the entire ship. Like the rest of the crew members, Videl had been put under Valerio's sleeping spell and was incapable of doing anything else. After he had woken up and discorded this, he locked himself away in his room and started to train. The way he saw it, the more he worked out, the stronger he would become, and the stronger he would become, the better he would be at fighting off wizards and their spells. Of course none of this would make any sense to someone who wasn't Videl, but everyone on the ship knew that he would punch their teeth out if they even suggested he was wrong, so they left him be.
" Two thousand." Finally, Videl pushed himself off the floor and stretched out his back, hearing his muscles pop and his joints creak. Usually a thousand push ups was enough to start the day, but this time he went over to two thousand without a break and even though he ached, he felt better than before. " Now, sit ups!" He announced happily and dropped down to the floor, " One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve," And on and on he continued.
☆fenrir☆ "Samhain?" Fenrir questioned, his frown deeping. As Milton said, the date was less than a year away but ideally Fenrir would have wanted it to be sooner. The other ingredients he had collected would probably last until then, but it was the livestock he was concerned about. This meant that he would have to keep them alive until then, such as giving them suitable living requirements and food so they wouldn't die from nourishment before Samhain. He would have to make sure to talk to Fantine about where they should store their prisoners once they reach the island, and where to find food for them. The crates of blood that they had already could only last so long before they start to run out. All of these were hassles Fenrir hadn't foreseen when he had started this quest, but if all this meant that he could see Freya again, he could gladly do it twice over.
" A body? Does it have to be dead? Alive?" He asked. This was also a set back. One of the many reasons he had fallen in love with Freya was her beauty, and he was disappointed that he would never see her face again. But ultimately it was her soul that he was mated to and it wouldn't make him love her any less. The only problem was finding a suitable vessel for her to possess. He thought back to the pair of vampires that they had captured from their last raid, a young man and woman, both vampires but only one of them was a pureblood. The thought of his beloved Freya inhabiting a body of a vampire made his toes curl in disgust and he quickly pushed that idea back into 'the last resort' plan just incase all the others fell through.
Trixxtal was sitting on the edge of the ship, his feet dangling off the side. It was mostly because of his supernatural abilities that he didn't go toppling off the edge with every sway of the ship and the other half was just pure luck. It had been a while since he put Protettore to bed and he was patiently waiting for either him or Jecht to wake up, keeping himself busy in the meantime by making paper crowns. It was boring but there wasn't much else to do. His usual daily activities consisted of speaking with Jecht, hanging out with Jecht, telling stories to Jecht, eating, following Jecht, talking about pasta with Jecht, playing with Jecht, following orders from Jecht, petting Jechts hair, etc, etc. So when Jecht was out of the picture, Trixxtal was very limited with a choice of activities. Noticing this, one of the crew members had given him some paper that was lying around (idk how much paper cost in those times??? but they're pirates so hahahA) and taught him how to make crowns, animals, and other shapes with it. Inbetween his sixth crown and third giraffe Jecht appeared in the corner of his eye.
Suddenly rejuvenated, Trixxtal swung his legs back over the ledge and jumped off it, quickly making his way over to the captain, " What are you doing up? Why are you walking around?" Were the first things out of his mouth, his hands already on his hips in the most sassiest stance ever, " You should still be in bed, resting. You're probably not even healed yet so why are you still here and not going back to sleep? I've got everything under control here so you can go back and rest." Despite his words, Trixxtal was very happy to see that he was healthy enough to walk around and that that bastard wizard hadn't done any permanent damage.

Safely locked away in his quarters, Fenrir sliced his thumb with his pocketknife and allowed the blood to drip on the circular mirror in front of him.
проклятую мне жаль, что быстро продовольственные магазины поставляются, поэтому я могу получить некоторый выбор куриные наггетсы двадцать четыре семь
He recited the summoning enchantment over and over until his wound closed up and the blood dried. It took longer than he expected, but the mirror began to glow with a dull yellow and the image in it began to ripple. Soon an empty room appeared and Fenrir leaned in closer, his eyes narrowing, " I want to speak with Milton. I need to know what else I need to open the gate." He had learnt from past experiences that the being known as 'Milton' was sometimes busy and his attendant, a man named Michael, often spoke on his behalf. But today Fenrir had no patience and needed to speak with Milton himself, just to make sure that he had gotten all the correct ingredients for opening the gate.
" I still don't understand," Trixxtal said, turning the hook around in his hands, examining it, " The wizard just disappeared?"
" I don't know," his young nephew whispered, his gaze locked on the floor, " It was like the ground just ate him up. This black stuff just appeared and took him away." Prottetore's hands were still shaking, despite being hours later, and Trixxtal reached over to run his hands through his hair, " It's okay. The most important thing is that we're all safe and the wizard is gone and we can get back to searching for your parents." He offered a small smile which Tori returned faintly. Tori had woken him up in sheer panic, rambling over and over again about a wizard and the battle between him and Jecht and from what Trixxtal had understood, it was a major one. With the help of the awakened crew, Trixxtal had carried the blacked out captain back to his chambers where he had been resting ever since. Meanwhile, Trixxtal had tried to gather more information as to what happened, but like him, the rest of the crew had been asleep. The only source he had was Tori who had only seen the ending of the fight.
" Try and get some sleep," Trixxtal sighed, bending down to kiss the top of his nephew's head and pulled the blanket up to his shoulders. The sun would be rising in a couple of hours so they all needed to rest up for the day ahead. Once leaving his room, Trixxtal returned to the deck and talked to the main navigator making sure that they were still heading towards the coordinates Jecht had said. The faster they got to the island, the more likely it was that they still had a chance to save his brother and sister-in-law. Though something in his gut told him that the wizard was only one of the many difficulties they were about to face...
