Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"A name is a very important thing, at least the true name. The Egyptians beleaved the soul had many parts... The Ib was a mans heart the center of ones morality and the key to there afterlife; The Ha was the body and other organs known as the Sekhu after removed from the body or death; The Ka was ones life force and essence; The Ba was ones memories and thoughts there willpower and what makes them diffrent from others and becomes a khu, a memmory or a ghost, if seperated and not re-unighted with the Ka; The Sheut ones shadow the darkness left by the souls light and that will bind with the Ba if the Ka dose not;  and then there is the Ren... what they be leaved to be one of the more important parts of the soul, your true name, with out it you could not know who you were and never find your way to any afterlife. To know some one's Ren was to own part of there soul.  ....  There is also the Sekem, the vitality of the sun, what they beleaved to be the source of magic your quintessence."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"I guess to some extent our order knows the valve of names also. We discard them when we join and to not receive a new one until we have earnt it and even then it often includes a title." he laughs "There are some temples where brothers or sisters are referred to only as a rank in Do. One would start off being named after an insect, then reptile, four-legged animal, bipeda until obtaining full mastery where they would gain a unique title."

"My old name isn't even recorded, as is tradition for the temple I started at. I have family so to an extent it is more for show and tradition than anything else but everyone has respected it." he takes a sip from his drinks flask realising he hasn't had a good swig in awhile and offers it to her. "Huóshui Zuìquán, flowing water drunken fist. Doesn't really sound like a name when its translated." he shrugs. "but as I said its all titles, its not like we hide the fact either. On my island the naming ceremony and the discarding of name are causes for celebration."

He laughs having been taking large gulps from his drink now. He seemed to want to drown himself out of things. "Well I shall have to call on this Sekem and the sun to get some power to help with the healing. You stay and rest." he gets up to leave, to take his way to help with healing or whatever he can do till they arrive on mars.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"It is some what the same with us... when we go through the transformation we are taken under the wing of another and travel with them learning the ways of our people, there secrets, and even yama for a year and a day. Then we are declared adults through ritual before the spirits, and they give us a new name. Some should take more heart to the names we are given, perhaps one of our darkest children could have been slayed before they were dragged to far down into spiraling madness of the dragons cursed blood, for when he was named by the spirits it was Black Tooth of the Endless Storms they named him."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

Stopping and holding on to the door frame. "Sometimes even if we do take heed in the words of others, we are still find ourselves lacking. Could Black tooth have even been stopped..."

His mood darkened, he asks "What was the name you were given then?"

"As roughly translated? ... Unicorn's Gift." she says while sitting onto the bed.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"Well unicorn's gift, rest well." he said as he left the room closing the door behind him.

"Luci, mind keeping an eye on this one as well as Avarice for me? I am sorry to ask so much of you but he might be a danger and I am concerned for her. You haven't had any more hallucinations have you?" he says this as he walks to help with healing and after care.

He felt guilty that he had given so much attention to only one of the many who must have lost someone, but he could only do so much. He took a large swig from his flask again and continued on.

"It's not a problem, no I have not... we will be arriving at mars soon, there will be an awful lot of people getting on and off, and I am sad to say it seams we are wanted now." a display appearing in front of huoshui as hie walks shows him the news. "I have changed my appearance but I do now know how much good that will do in the long run."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

Stopping to look at the display. Questioning and suspicion of conspiracy. "I don't understand." He read on as it described what he was guessing was meant to be himself. "Thats me."

He leaned against a nearby wall to stabilize himself. "How far has this spread?" It was all he could think to ask, the shock and blown the wind out of him.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"You can see everyone right? Has anyone else seen this?" he wasn't even thinking about what he was saying, he just wanted answers something to calm him. The enumerations he repeated in his head were unable to protect him from a shock of this manner.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"True true, sorry I wasn't thinking." he paused and scratched his head. "Do you have a way for me to communicate with someone? You are a pirate ship, do you not have some secure comms, like in the movies?" This may have been ignorance on his part, but he cared not.

His mind wandered to places he never would have imagined it going. To disguising himself, in a new change of clothes. Running, fighting with the authorities. He couldn't fight, but he had to stop the man behind the seat. Running may well be the only option.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

He slid to the floor with a loud thump, "I don't know, my mentor, home, Sophia, the police, who do you contact when proving your innocence." his hands covering his face and the words coming out slightly mumbled.

He was no longer looking at the display. "Is there a contact if you have information number?"

"You could try seeking information on the info sphere, or asking questions around Hades. I do not think you will be recognized. Ether way I think you should meditate."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"You are right again. I shall go meditate on this, thank you." with a sigh he rose up again and instead of going to help with the healing and care effort he originally planned he found a dark corner to meditate on what had happened and what he was to do.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"We had to land through a storm, the only people that will see me is the dock workers and the medical staff and disaster relief. I do not think anyone noticed the change of the ship, or the additional room. I am however exsperiancing some unsetling affects again... I am having truble making sense of it, but it think it is some form of ultrasound that is targeting my ... well what would best be put as my 'brains' optical and audio sensors."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"Do you know the source? Have you told your friend, I can meet up with him quickly to go check it out if you need." He continued talking while he went to watch the survivors leave. Standing in a dark corner, trying to take some pride in having helped saved them.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"Local source, moving."

Huoshui gets a sickly felling as he looks out over the people leaving... his life/mind affects tell him the same thing is going on with him as the ship. He thinks he see's Solan leaving with the others?  Hard to tell really who's coming and going, there a few other people having the same problem.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

Huoshui continues to watch from the dark, just to make sure that nothing happened to the survivors. He couldn't be sure who was blocking his senses but he had to make sure everyone got off of this ship safely. They came before him, even if he was now a wanted man.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

Huoshui would get this on his comm and send this to Huoshui:

"I am headed out into the city for an errands..I will keep you updated as well as to my location. Feel free to contact me if you need help with anything of note".

"If their is anything you need me to do why I am out send me the job and it will be done". Says Solan into his comm link.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

After a few moments the odd sensations pass.

"I beleave I have identified the source. Avarice produced an artifact before each incident." An image of the 'tuning fork sword' is displayed in a hologram. "He is no longer on the ship, or in the dock. He has likely used it to slip into the city."

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

"Thank you Solan, I am fine. Keep safe, We have only just escaped one disaster we don't want to fall into another." he replied to Solan over comm.

"That thing again," he replied to the ship. "Well its gone now, and so is he. I fear if that was the right call, but an incident would have caused more problems. Do you know where the pilot is? I may have to have words with him." he said remembering his seeking and the visions it showed him.

He pulled his hood over his head and scanned the crowd for familiar faces, he was searching for the marauder woman and Ms. Owusu. He needed to see what was happening to the marauder and what Ms. Owusu was going to do from now on. Failing that he would try to contact Ms. Boreh, maybe he still had contact details or something. He still feared for her life. Maybe contacting the mentor if he failed to pick her up.

Re: CHAPTER 2: Huoshui

The maruader was in the same kinda anti-magic bindings they had solan in, being escorted out by two security and a doctor while she was still out cold on a medical transport bed.

"The pilot left into the city, I am afraid I have no way of tracking him."

"Thanks Luci, I may have to go after him then."

Huoshui dives down after the marauder. He tries to get the doctor's attention. "Excuse me but may I ask where you are taking her?"
