Can it be.. undone?

Kai just crossed his arms over his chest.

"...that is a good question." he said.

"I... I don't know." he admitted. "I get the feeling that we'll find out while either on this ship, or shortly after we land on the other continent." he told them, pausing for a moment afterwards.

".......I hope." he added.

"That... yeah, I really hope that's the case." he repeated.

"I'd rather not be wandering blindly."

"You and me both, Kai." Callie agreed.

"Where are you situated on here?" She then asked, her voice curious before giving where she was.

"Sara's a bit removed, due to her guardian for the moment."She added, which net a nod from the child.

"Yeah." She agreed.

Kai thought for a moment, before giving his room to her. From what she knew of the layout, and what she explored, he was on the same level as her, but on the opposite end, effectively.

"A basic room." he shrugged.

"I was able to afford it by finding lost bits and pieces of treasure and coins at the bottom of the ocean." he told her further.

"So it wasn't too hard." he went on.

"And I didn't want anything too fancy." he continued.

"You know it's not my style." he chuckled.

".... it really isn't." Callie agreed with a nod.

"Regardless though, I get the feeling that we will find out whatever on the other side, but ... I do wonder will happen to make it apparent." She added.

"However, no point in stressing out about it for the moment."

"Pretty much." Kai agreed.

"Let's just try and enjoy the trip." he suggested.

"..." he was then silent, and looked around a little, focusing on the one girl from before.

"By the way..." he said to Callie. "She's trying to go around saying she's you." he told her. "And she has people believing her." he went on.

"I was fooled at first, as she DOES look like you, but... yeah, she's an imposter." he said further.

"I'm angry, but... well... the more I think on it, the more this is actually GOOD for you." he continued.

"I don't think she has ANY idea the bullseye she's painted on herself."

"It's why Adym and I grabbed hats." Callie commented honestly.

"We're trying to stay low key. Plus, that blue streak is pretty identifiable. She wouldn't get away with it for long if I showed up and shoved her off." She then said.

"And yeah, It realy wouldn't be difficult at all to do that, but... as much as I really don't want another life in danger because of me, I am not going to step in the way and save her. It's her own fault for actually stepping into the line of fire as she has." She then added with a light shrug.

"You can't save stupid."

"You can try, but even if you succeed, you'll have to save it again." Kai muttered. "Can't save it, can't fix it." he went on. "I just think it's horrible that she's smearing your name like that." he then said.

"She's acting high and mighty, she's acting like she deserves everything handed to her, just... rgh." he growled.

"But... if it takes the attention AWAY from you... I suppose it's fine to let her have her pretend time." he sighed.

"We should probably just steer clear of her altogether." he then reasoned.

"...not that that'll be hard. She seems to want to keep a pretty wide perimetre of empty space around her."

Callie paused a moment before laughing suddenly.

"Oh! THAT'S Why you were stalking her!!" She exclaimed suddenly.

"Yeah, I watched you when you were eying her outside, on land still." She told him honestly.

"Did not realise it was you, though."

Kai shook his head slightly, and sighed.

"Fair." he said.

"I... yeah, knowing what I know now, that's understandable." he admitted.

"But yes, I was trying to figure out what the coral was going on." he muttered. "I was confused, angry, sad, concerned... the whole lot of bad emotions." he admitted quietly.

"It's a massive relief now to know she's not you, and that you're doing relatively all right." he continued. "...apparent memory issues aside." he then added.

"Regardless, what have you been doing since you landed here in Adaminia again?" he asked.

"Yeahhhhh amnesia isn't fun. However, it does seem that bit by bit things are coming back." Callie said with a sigh.

"As for what I've been doing... Adym and I went and killed a forest guardian." She then said bluntly.

"Which... I think he's still battling himself over..."

Kai looked to be stunned for a moment.

"...what?" he asked.

"The... forest guardian?" he asked her.

"I... that..." he stammered. "I see..." he mumbled.

"I'm sure there's a valid reason as to WHY you killed such a guardian?" he asked her.

"Because... I'm pretty sure you're not the type to do something like that unprovoked, amnesia or not."

"Was corrupted." Callie answered simply.

"Trust me, neitehr of us wanted to. The only reason why I think I might possibly be ok with it, is the fact that if we didn't kill it, the new one couldn't replace it, AND the elven village we were at for Adym's recovery would have been swallowed up by the corruption that was spreading through the forest." She added.

"oh yeah, Adym's an elf, by the way. If that matters at all."

Kai paused when he heard that.

"...ah." he said. "That answers a few questions." he admitted with a small laugh.

"Wood Elf, I assume?" he asked.

Callie nodded in response.

"Makes sense." Kai then said, crossing his arms over his chest and looking around once more.

"...hm." he mumbled.

"Looks like it might rain soon." he commented, looking at the darker clouds in the sky. "Hope it's not too heavy."

Callie looked up too before sighing.

"Come on Sara, let's get you inside." She said to the child, switching languages effortlessly.

"Reasonably sure you getting wet would make you ... well... obvious." She added as they got to their feet. Sara nodded in response.

"Uh huh. Lots of steam." was the child's reply.

"Head back to your cabin then?" Callie asked. Sara nodded.

"You coming with, Kai?"

Kai nodded in response.

"Sure thing." he replied.

"Better than hanging around out here all day, glaring at your doppelganger." he muttered.

Some time had passed, and Kai had met Adym and Karivyn. The 5 of them had gotten decently close, and had all decided that traveling together when they reached the other continent was probably the best course of action.

At the moment, Adym and Sara were in the latter's room, while Kai and Callie were strolling on deck... where they saw Karivyn standing at one of the railings.

And he was looking right up at the sky intently.

"eh?" Callie wondered before making her way over to Karivyn, letting Kai follo if he so desired. On the way, she didn't see anything in the sky that was alarming, but then again, she was reasonably certain that he would have a better idea anyway.

"Kari? What's up?" She asked once in earshot.

"Soemthing is obviously bothering you." She added. "Anything we can do to help?"

Kai followed as well, but didn't say anything, opting to let the centaur speak.

"...look up." Karivyn told them. "What do you see?" he asked.

They both looked up, and... all they saw was the sky, the sun, and some clouds.

"Nothing." Kai responded. "...wait..." he mumbled.

"Precisely." Karivyn said.

"Where are all the birds?" he asked. "The sky should be filled with them. Or, at least, there should be a few dozen about." he told them.

Callie was silent for a moment.

".... well..." She started, not saying anything more for a few seconds.

"Something is coming." She said quietly.

"There's something coming, has to be. There are stories of birds vanishing... buit I can't remember why." She added.

"I cannot recall what it is that the stories say, and that's going to bother me. I could be wrong, but..." She sighed, heavily.

"I'm not sure I trust the chance ofthat."

Karivyn narrowed his eyes.

"...indeed." he said.

"Something has spooked them, and they are staying away." he commented.

"...but what?" Kai asked.

"That is impossible to know right now." Karivyn responded. "But it is probably an aerial predator of sorts." he reasoned.

"Something we need to worry about?" Kai inquired.

"Possibly."

"For now, someone should tell anyone in charge here." Callie commented, looking around the ship, wondering if there was anyone around that she could see quick like that was staff. Sadly, she didn't.

"I think I know how to get to the controls of here, bound to be someone in there." She then said.

"I'll head off and see if I can find someone."
