says to ALL:The serpent "Sea Priestess' rocked gently in the waves as scores of oarsmen
heaved at her oars....the sound of a drum heard in the distance gave the men of torvaldsland
a purpose....standing at the bow...My girl at My feet, held tightly to the railing...I
turned back to issue a command..." raise the sheild!"....My voice heard over the beating
drum as I looked to the mast...a shield of white was raised there....I turned back raising a
builders glass to My eye...I surveyed the beach of the small island for life....

says to ALL:noting smoke issuing from a ground fire...I recognised the guard shack, atop a
hill...I turned back once again....the personal shields of My men rested on the ships side,
held there by wooden posts stuck through the leather straps...I smiled not having to raise
My voice again...i reached into the curls of the bond at My feet, pulling her head
back...looking into her thassa blue eyes...I smiled as her gaze met My own.....
nodding....Then looking back to the island making our approach...

says to ALL:My eyes remaining on the shell beach as the waves wash up ....seeing the jetty,
I will steer clear of it...looking behind Me once again ....the rollers near the stern...I
return My gaze to the guard shack....seeing a man stumble from the shack...an axe in His
hand.....the smoke curling around His form as the axe is wildly swung....Laughing to Myself,
as He tries to get free of the fires smoke...and once free waves, signaling as He understood
I had come in peace...

says to ALL:"Beaching turn"...I heard the command issued from Bannick...the oars on the
harbour side lifted and sank....the men pulling hard to reverse the direction, while the men
on the port side continued a forward row, the rudder shifted...the Priestess turned
slowly...until another command was issued to begin her sternward approach....I looked to
mori....My hand flat held to her head..."stay"...then left My post on the bow moving reward
down the center isle, between the free men of Torvaldsland...

says to ALL:standing on her stern....she moved through the water...her sail flapped trying
to fill with air...I looked at Bannick.."lower that sail!"...He issued the command to the
deck hands..and immediately the sail was lowered...the yard comming to rest just above the
deck...The men rowed harder against the current...making our approach faster...I heard the
water slosh against her stern as she fought to cut through the waves....men began to crowd
as we continued the approach...the rollers being unsecured for beaching...stern ropes were
thrown over as she caught the first breaker...

says to ALL:Before she had time to hit the shale...the men had jumped the sides, hoisting
rollers overboard as they were neatly lined up on the shore...they struggled to hold her
ropes....to hold her steady as the rollers were placed...she gently rubbed the bottom...I
raised and lowered My hand..they began to pull as the oarsmen dug paddles into the sand...My
men pulled and pushed until the Priestess was securely beached without harm to her
hull...the rollers again did their job in keeping her safe....."secure her"...I turned from
Bannick..and made My way back to the bow...noting men throwing ropes over her side

says to ALL:looking at mori, her expression told Me much as I pulled her up from the
deck....."you should be getting used to this by now"...I lifted her to My shoulder...she
giggled as I strode with her to the serpents side...tossing her into the arms of one of My
men...laughing as she was lowered to the beach....I to leapt from her side....swinging on
the rope in true Torvie fashion...heavy boots hit the shale and dug in...I grabbed the girls
hand and pulled her behind Me to the path....the gladius at My side slapped against My leg
as we walked.
(09/04/07 20:06:31 ) moriae{Nerius}says to Nerius Magnhild: ~her small feet shuffling in the
sands as He drug her behind Him... her teeth worrying into the lushness of her lips
already... the breeze from the Thassa blowing the mass of copper spirals across her face as
her deep blue eyes took in her surroundings~

Meadow Path
on the leading up to the large meadow
says to ALL:it had been sometime since I was here...it was strangely new to say the
least....seeing a huge burly man running down the path from the guard shack...startled Me as
He held the axe...I almost withdrew My sword, and had I been anywhere else might had...I
recognised Him as the man battling smoke....My Name is Olaf...I responded with My own
name...I am Nerius...this...holding up her hand...is moriae...He looked to the girl and
laughed...she had all but bit through her lip..."New places, and all"....nodding to the
man...He pointed up the path, giving Me directions...I nodded and continued

Meadow Path
on the leading up to the large meadow
says to ALL:~she lowered her eyes shyly as the man approached her Jarl... the followed
quietly behind Him.. her hand gripping His so very tightly... luckily she wasn't a very
strong girl else His hand would be tingling numb by now~

Meadow Path
on the leading up to the large meadow
says to ALL:entering the huge meadow My eyes seemed to grow...trying to take in all of the
nature that I had so long missed...I walked with mori into the wonderousness ....I looked to
her with a smile..."welcome to Torvaldsland".....I pulled her off the path a moment...the
summers long days aforded this moment as the central fire lowered beyond the horizon...I
reached and picked an unknown wildflower...tucking its beauty into her hair...kissing her
gently...before pushing on

Meadow Path
on the leading up to the large meadow
says to Nerius Magnhild:~wide bright blue orbs met His as He turned and spoke to her... her
teeth releasing their grip on her lips for a moment as they turned up in a soft smile for
Him... unable to stop the giggle that slipped past them as He pulled her off the path...
lifting her chin as she gazed into His eyes with a smile as the small flower was tucked into
the wayward locks... feeling the tingling heat of His lips briefly as they pressed to
hers... standing on her tip toes to return the kiss then following behind Him once more~

beauty of this island...and I was also awe struck...the path seemed to wind on forever...I
looked to mori....we need to make it to the hall before dark...My stride quickened as I
tugged the girl behind Me

In one of the Members Cabin
says to ALL:grrrr..wrong hall!
(( ok so there isnt a hall, damn))
(09/04/07 20:59:02 ) moriae{Nerius}says to ALL: ~her teeth once more sinking into her lip
nervously as she was pulled in behind Him... she kept the proper distance from Him that she
should.. but longed to wiggle her way beneath the protection of His arm... she sighed
softly.. barely audible to herself as she gazed about the hall~
(( I will be in need of lodging, perhaps pia the princess might help?))
