1-1 with Jex and Nix

[chidori]

As if, Jex thought to himself. Like I'm letting go in this kind of weather. The next wave reared his side of the boat up again, but he caught it before it could hit his ribs again. He resisted a snarl as the water drenched him again.
"Then I'll keep us going." He took the oar in both hands and began to dig at the water, one side after the other. It wasn't quite as fast as before but it was something.

[Nix]

Nix clutched ghost close to her as he whined and as the water filled the boat, jark was whimpering beside him and both of them had curled up as close to her as they could. Nix looked up as jex spoke and gave a small nod but as she did so another wave swamped the boat and the two boys yelped in unison and moved closer to her ,the wind was up now and pulling her hair away from her face but it was so heavy with being soaked with water that was whipping at her eyes making them sting and making looking around impossible

[chidori]

Jex could hear a faint squeal coming from the side of his leg. Shadow and Sorrel. If he didn't get them out soon they'd drown in the water. Quickly, still trying to paddle with one hand, he lifted his soaking hood up, and looped it around his neck so it hung over his chest. At least then he could keep an eye on them.
He hadn't realised that he was only paddling on one side. The skinboat had gone completely off-course and was heading in a new direction. The waves around him threatened to drown the whole boat, and he growled inwardly, gliding over it instead.

[Nix]

*I think we shall go in now *

Nix felt the boat tip and she grabbed at the boats edge but a second wave came up from the alreay up-tipped side and the whole boat shook and she gave a grunt as the water filled up the boat side, she reached out and wrapped her arms Round her brother and then reached out and grabbed jarks wrist but the water they were already covered in made his wrist slippery and the younger boy slipped away from her and she cried out as the boy swept away from her as she hit the water

[chidori]

Sure. Can we smash the skinboat too? XD

Jex felt a huge, thick wave slam into the boat, making it shake violently. Nix, Ghost and Jark fell in and he grabbed his hood, sealing it airtight, before he dived in after them. His vision was blurred from the seawater, but he made out Jark, struggling against the current. He made a feeble attempt to grab him, still making sure he kept his own brother and sister alive at the same time. His weak hand missed. Another wave tore at him as he swiped an arm forward, his fingers catching the neck of Jark's jerkin.

[Nix]

*be my guest*

Nix felt the water splash into her face and felt her brother struggle against her grip and heard the roaring of the thunder above her and the water attacking her ears. She tried to breath but swallowed a mouthful of water and then tired to kick out with her legs but the water was churning too fast for her to move at all, she wrapped her arms tighter around her brothers chest as he tried to move but the waters powers was keeping him back too, nix felt her legs grow weak and her arms go slack as another wave hit her. She didn't want to keep fighting, it was too hard, sleeping would just be so much easier

[chidori]

Jark was now in Jex's reach. He strained his fingers and hooked them through the boy's jerkin, pulling him closer. That was one life saved. For now.
A wave smacked into him and nearly sent him underwater forever. When his vision was clear enough he tried to search for the boat. All he could see was shattered planks of wood with flaps of hide on them. He grabbed hold of one and pulled it close. Luckily the gutskin sack that still remained kept it buoyant. He searched through the water and his heart sank. He couldn't see Nix.

[Nix]

Nix tried to kick her legs out but she felt her grip on her brother begin to loosen as the water kept washing in to her face and making cough and splutter. She reached an arm out to grad a bit of wood floating past her and tired to pull herself in to it but her grip on her brother loosen too much and he was washed away from her with a whine. She tried to turn in the water but unwashed her away from her brothers retreating form and as she reached it to get him she felt a sharp impact on her head and the whole world went black as she went under the water

*wash up now then ?*

[chidori]

I suppose yeah, but how would the twins find us? I'm very confused by this, because the twins can't find us if they haven't even been born yet... at least I was assuming they'd find us.

[Nix]

We wash up on the shore and at that point we're forwards in time and the twins have been born and grown up and nixs wolf pack are all whipped out and she's all upset and then the twins find us and take us to the clan and we meet older jerk and we're told about the missing children and we decide we had to help as we know they've taken younger jark....

[chidori]

I think I get you... so we're the same charrie by age and stuff, but we're forwards in time, and we go to find Jark, and when we do find him we're back in our own time... kind of... this is what my brain analysed it is, tell me if I'm wrong. I get where you're going though.

[Nix]

You've got it right, I was thinking if having it so that we were pulled forwards in time by a spell the evil Mage was using on the children he had been taking and so when we defeat him we are sent home and the other children are healed from what ever we decide he's done to them good?

[chidori]

Yeah, sure. I totally get it now I'll post now. So when we defeat him everything goes back to the way it was and we sort of live out our charries' lives until the twins are grown up.

The last thing Jex remembered was the younger boy being torn away from him, and dropping down into the deep. Everything went dark before his very eyes.

Waves lapped at the sand of a beach. The Sea had sent a storm, and eventually she choked up two young beings onto her shores, not wanting them in her waters. Two pine martens got shakily to their feet, and began to sniff the male, urging him to wake up. He didn't stir. He was breathing - but barely.

[Nix]

Nix felt something brush up against her head and she groaned as pain shot through the back of her skull and she moaned loudly and then something brushed against her head again and she lifted a blood covered hand and flicked it weakly where she could feel the fur but something whined as she did so and she felt a warm tongue lick at her blood soaked finger tips and she tried to lift her head but it was too heavy for her and so it dropped back down on to the sand again and nix moaned for a second time as she tried to force her eyes to open so she could see where she was and what it was that kept brushing up against her head too

[chidori]

Shadow's nose twitched. He'd woken up from a horrifyingly dark sleep, and had to break out from what seemed like an airless nest. Him and Sorrel had struggled for air inside it, but at least they were alive. But their brother was not moving.
Sorrel pushed her brother's head and licked at a wound on his furless face. He was bleeding from tiny cuts all over those long forelegs of his. The wind merely ruffled the tips of the fur on his head. He just lay there in the sand. Sorrel watched Shadow try to wake him up in all the ways that had worked before. Nothing worked. She couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach that he'd never move.
