*The hare is just arriving at the main deck when he spots Silas and goes to join him. Strongpaw looks at the vastness of the sea, he never liked it so much. For him it always was a great blue monster. The hare is quite altered by such a great sight but he tryes not to show this. Instead he looks at Silas and begins talking.* Nice boat ain´t it, ole chum?

*Lonas, too, arrives on deck (having gotten lost a few times.) The squirrel strolls along, enjoying the sight of the ocean.* *After a moment, he notices the others over by the rail and wanders over. He stands nearby, still looking out at the horizon.*

Yeh, she goes pretty fast, too. *Silas comments as he pats the deck with a footpaw, some of his accent showing through. That accent, however slight and unnoticable it may be, made him feel even more apart from the beasts they have picked up from Terralux. He felt out of place, a piece from another puzzle set. Keia took a headcount, and asks Silas a question, breaking through his thoughts.* Have you seen Danniar or Twilight?
They're prob'ly still belowdecks. *He replies, still looking straight out to sea. The albino merely nods, and walks down to find them. She asks what few crewbeasts are on the ship if they had seen the rat or the hare about. Most shook their heads. A few pointed her to their cabins. But one in particular, an older otter by the name of Shawn, pointed her in the right direction. Keia finds Danniar at the door of Silas' cabin and taps her gently on the shoulder.* Silas is up on deck, if you need him. *She gestured with a white-furred paw upwards unnecessarily.*

*Danniar jumps, snapping the door shut.* I - oh. I was lookin' f' 'im, *She tells Keia uncertainly, and, glancing nervously back over her shoulder at the squirrel, makes her way to the deck, knowing the way already now. She finds the others, bar Twilight, looking over the rail, which Danniar can just manage to lean on.* Goin' fast'r 'n I though', *She tells nobeast in particular for conversation.* Y'can barely see Salamandastron from 'ere, an' y' certainly can' see Terralux. *Danniar checks to see if anybeast will respond. 'S funny, 'em no' bein' cus'omers 'nymore. Wond'r if I still 'ave t' call 'em "sir" 'n' "mister" 'n' "miss"? Bett'r no' get i' wrong. Still wan' 'em comin' t' the Whisp'rin' Willow af'r this.*

*Slightly addled by the lurch, Twilght appeared on deck. She wandered over to the rail with the others. Looking out, she listened to Dannairs talk, and couldn't help a small smile. At the mention of Salamandrostron though, her smile disappeared when she spotted it.Uttering a* Hump! *She turned her back on it, and walked towards the mainmast. Walking past it, the hare proceeded to the bow of the ship, Staring ahead for some sight of an island. And seeing nothing, like she expected.* Of course, ye would'nt see a bally speck of sand. But this ain't bad. Ye always had some inkling to te sea, and here ye are, Twlilght. The ocean.

*Silas moves an ear in the direction of Danniar as she spoke, grinning thinly at her comment but not responding. SInce Both Twilight and Danniar were on deck, he decides to find Keia.* She's probably still lookin' for 'em.
*He finds the albino searching the aft section of the ship, knocking on each cabin door and calling out for Twilight alternately.* Hey, Keia. They're already upstairs. *He informs her.*
Oh. Good. *Keia then followed behind Silas to the top deck. She still got somewhat lost down below, even though she had been on the ship before as well. SHe cast a glance at Silas' face, and sure enough there was no emotion, just a blank expression of thought.* War will do that to somebeasts...
*Silas once again leaned against the mast, the first of three from bow to stern. Keia stood by the railing, and the otter captain stood to her left, in between Silas and herself. She cleared her throat and spoke again, a tad nervous; she was never one for speeches.* May we have everybeasts' attention, please? Silas will, um, inform you of the quest now. We appreciate your patience with us on this matter. *SHe then gestured for Silas to speak as soon as all the Terraluxians were listening to them.*

*Lonas looked over, then strolls forward to stand nearby, an eyebrow cocked up curiously.* S' about time they gave us some information...ye'd think we're on this quest for fun or somethin'.

*Danniar's ear twitches as she looks up and comes wordlessly to join Keia and Silas. Just like Ashnel said: nothin''s ev'r qui'e so in Terralux. Always a few mys'ries or some'in' unsaid.*
OOC: Away for a week or so.

*Strongpaw looks at the squirrel.* I´m all ears, so what are you jolly well planning, Silas? *The hare stands still, waiting for an answer.*

*Silas takes a deep breath, unfolds his arms and begins to speak.* Well... If nobeast knows, I am a military captain in the Allied Woodlanders militia. While we were fighting a group of vermin we discovered something. A series of clues that led us to an island in the western sea. Now this island was inhabited by an isolated group of beasts that had some of the greatest inventive and creative minds among them. Due to their isolation, we believe that they have managed to create advances in technology way before their time... *Here he pauses, wording the next few sentences in his head.* Some of these advances, we assume, are terrible weapons of destruction. Our mission is to go to the island, seize those weapons before any evilbeasts do, and either destroy them or set them in a safe place to be kept for eternity, away from the world. That is the main reason for our secrecy, and we again appreciate your patience with us. *He cleared his throat and asks,* Any questions?

*Lonas raises a paw, looking slightly apprehensive.* *Uh...what exactly are we talkin' about - terrible weapons o' destruction-wise? A new type o' crossbow, or something bigger?

*Silas narrows his eyes* Somethin' worse... We don't know what it is, though. The clues we found were very vague. *He informs Lonas.* We're not that different in terms of handing out intel... *He thinks with his usual dry humor.* Any more questions?

*Strongpaw looks as if thinking about something, then he asks a question.* What were the clues you found, Silas? Pawmark´s, fur, any objects? *Then the hare keeps quiet and hopes for an answer.*

*Silas turns to the hare, and answers his question.* What we found were pieces of a map that we had to put together using a riddle written on the back of each piece. We also found several books that mentioned this 'island' in their texts...

*Twilight frowned, a bit frightened by the thought of weapons worse than weapons already here.* Weapons worse than now? How is that possible? *Gripping the rail, the hare stared out into the horizon, suddenly unsure of what lied ahead.*
