On The Open Sea

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

The white moon sat upon the horizon just as they rode upon the ocean waves, as Din's Maiden swayed to the deep blue lullaby. Nary a cloud in sight as the expanse above was filled with bright stars with stories to tell. Perci wanted to hear those tales, especially if it came from a celestial being but that age was far bygone. The Rito composed himself, seated upon the deck just below the bowsprit as huge eyes searched the sky above. At times, they would glow for a bit like ghastly lanterns. He shuffled around a bit, opened his knapsack beside them and took out a few things; a quill, an inkwell and a rather worn journal.[break][break]

Perci made it a habit to take note of what he found interesting. In most cases, that was everything outside of home, from every type of tree down to the soil beneath his talons. This time, it was the constellations or rather what he thought of in ways of pattern. He scribbled here and there, the parchment greeted him with ease. Of course, something rather curious happened on the ship. The other researcher, a rather lively person, seemed to have a peculiar item in hand. At first, Perci did not pay any mind for it was elsewhere, but he caught the glint every now and then. He just wasn't sure what it was. Funny enough, this also reminded him of the fact he had joined a party to this uncharted island. He wasn't so good with people of any kind, nonetheless is very own and when the time came to set sail, he had nearly missed them.[break][break]

Of course, since then, all of them including himself have left well enough alone. That is until the researcher began to speak to the device in their grasp. It didn't take long to see what it was once he focused on it. "Ah, a Picto Box. Wonderful contraption. Although, this one is different. Perhaps a new model." The Rito thought aloud. He made another page dedicated to the device he studied from afar while the researcher seem to focus on her newest subject, the young man who stood by the railing.

As the ship churned and groaned, Perci hopped up with slight anxiety. The inkwell had spilt unto the deck and his journal remained open as the Rito quickly surveyed the sea from the deck. Thankfully, his vision was attuned to the night but saw nothing that would warrant concern. However, the didn't explain the sudden disturbance so he had to take a better look from above. The young snow owl spread open his brilliant wings, bright by the moon's light and flapped them several times before he took to the sky. Most we able to see him due to the white sheen of his feathers and in turn, we could see everyone that stood on the deck of the ship. Now, Perci just had to peer deeply past the surface of the ocean to see if something stirred beneath the hull or if they ran across an elevated jut of land. He just hoped the others were just as curious as to what disrupted their smooth sailing.

There passage to uncharted lands had taken a turn for the worse. As the Rito peered into the inky darkness that enveloped most of the waters below, several tentacles had breached the surface, some ensnared the ship while others rose into the sky. Percival saw this as one shot forth beneath his flight. Of course, he reacted timely to swing out of the way but his heart raced with fear. He never had such an encounter with such a ginormous sea-dweller nor taken into account the sea had such monstrosities that lurked within those waters. It was all too much, a sudden overload of thoughts rushed Perci as he circled just above the ship caught in a whirlpool. He didn't know what to do.[break][break]

Suddenly, someone cried out, "Ah-AH! Mr. Telosht! Watch out for the sail-" However, the voice wasn't quick enough to reach the Rito. He was absorbed with all the commotion that the pole that held the main mast swung at him, thus clipped his left wing. Perci cried out in pain but with the rushing waters below them, it was as if nothing came out. So the Rito spun out of control, falling from the sky right into the hole that led into the crew's quarters. It must have been a very hard landing, for he had crashed into the barrels of provisions and eventually fell unconscious, unknown to the fate that awaited them.
