Ethel made it through the brush and came up on a small waterfall, with shallow water. She needed to clear her head and she did not quite like the idea of someone else bathing her and washing her. SHe could wash herself. And so she put a foot in the water, it felt cold at first but the grime from the sand and dirt stuck all over her body and in her hair. Some clothes would be nice after.

She stood under the water fall for a bit and closed her eyes. She wanted her whole body to get used to the water’s temperature but she moved from under a bit after. The water fell with such force as to sting her currently tender skin. So she sat near instead and simply stared into the brush with a rather straight and dark face with her brow furrowed. She clenches above her nose in between her eyes in frustration.

-Virgil walked back to the camp with Dante he saw that a lot of work had been done on the house so he headed back to Dante’s little hide away to prepare for a meal and get some sleep because the coming morning he would be heading out to see to finish his journey to the new land so he could a few recruits that he was suppose to train when he first got there wondering if they may think he was dead but he guessed they would have sent out ships in search of his robes if they did believe it.

He rested for a few hours before taking a boat out and heading to the main land but before he left he stabbed a letter too Dante’s door stating once they were ready to come find him. He had arrived at the main land two days later with many men running out and pulling his ship to land. He had made himself look dirty as if he had been on his own so they quickly fed him and got him water before taking him before the Brotherhood and making sure he is who he says he is. He proved himself in four hours before heading to his room as a college professor and also a grand master assassin.-

[Silver]

Walking with Virgil Dante stayed silent. When they stopped at the home that was being built he waited as Virgil inspected it. He didn’t know the intentions of the man. his mind pondered as he needed to get a better training area the natural terrain should work for this but he would need to build an artificial one to give people a better training regimen. As they arrived at the cove he sat and ate in silence as the men talked about various things and past conquests they had done. They didn’t know things where about to change they had a purpose and a direction now and would not just be aimlessly floating about going from one plunder to the next. Taking a deep breath he stood when his food was done and walked towards his forge and saw Vic laying over the Branch and just smiled amused by this. “Can I ask what you are trying to do?” He asked her quietly he seemed more amused then angry she was doing anything. Though the fact she found it left him with hope for her if he could train her and get her straight she would make a great ally and could even make a great captain to fly under his flag on the high seas.

-Vic looked over at the man who had questioned her being there. She smirked a bit and said, “Cook.” She then turned back to the thick branch and pulled on it as hard as she could. She heard her elbows pop and she stopped pulling. She growled a bit at this and then shook her arms to attempt again. She pulled hard but it was clear she was going to expend more energy to try and get in than what the meat could possibly give back. She relaxed on the stick for a moment and then grabbed the branch, placed both of her feet on the wall and managed to get it to budge one more inch. The branch was now loose and this caused her to fall onto the ground. She wasn’t embarrassed at her efforts and it was now big enough to slip her hand in. She tried to feel around for the warmest spot then realized it was warmer further in. She pulled her arm out and put the branch back in.

[Silver]

Standing there he watched her try get at the door and almost laughed and gripped the branch and pulled it out of the door and walked close to it. “You could of just asked.” He said then gripped his fingers into the gap she made and started to pull it to the side with some effort but got it open and looked to her as the heat from his forge came rolling out in a boiling hot wave.once it was open he sighed and wiped his hands off and walked inside and tossed a metal plate onto a work table and walked to his workbench and started to work on a new project. As she walked in there where weapons lining the walls and racks as well as other things and he started to hum as he walked. “is there anything I can do for you?” He was working on doing some etching on a small piece of metal he had been working on for a long time a gift for someone who didn’t even know if they where still alive. “Destinee I will find you.” he said though he had a new purpose he still had found someone a long time ago and hoped he could find her again.

Ethel sighed and began to relax a bit. The water was cold, and actually she liked that, as she was used to cold water and saw no reason to grow fond of hot water when it was hardly available. Cold made the muscles relax anyway. She cleared her nappy hair from her face and attempted to get it as straight as she could. She then began to wonder, who on god’s earth are these people? They look like pirates. Act like pirates. But speak of assassins….perhaps she should just sit there. She would have to serve under them, and could not help but wonder what life would await her now and what it would be like. Wondering if she was just hopping from one white master to the next. So far, they seem to be a lesser evil to her. She couldn’t help but wonder the life of the woman they killed in front of her. And of what happened to her men…

[Lord English]

Vic watched him open the door and she huffed. She was trying to open it herself and when she felt the boiling heat, she smiled sadistically. She took in the meat she had cut off the corpse of the woman that was killed and she watched him a little bit though the heat was making her suffer just to cook a few pieces. She heard the question of if he could do something for her. She  shook her head no and laid out the meat on some of the hottest parts she could find and let them sizzle and cook.

She heard the exclamation of a name, it was silent to her but she smirked. She turned her head to him and said, “So, why have you and the cute Sadist allowed me to continue breathing?” She flipped the meat with her bare hands despite getting some burns. She smirked at this and noted that the meat was cooking well in this heat. This would be her cooking spot whether she could get in or not.

[Silver]

He listened to the meat cook and the smell bothered him but he let it be and just kept working on the ring humming softly and leaned back looking at it and then blew the flakes off. “Because you have potential and I think you could do good. He feels you are worth the effort and I will trust he judge” he set the ring down and closed the box he pulled it out of and locked it this time. “Also You managed to pass the physical part of the first test did you get the second part of it?” he asked her and stood up and looked at the metal that she was cooking on and sighed. “Clean that when your done.” he pointed to the water barrel and the rag hanging off of it.

[Lord English]

Vic continued to cook the meat and she heard the reason for her being alive. A smile crept along her face. Then he spoke of a test of some sort. She paused for a moment and thought. She didn’t realize he’d said anything else until she could process this. Her head ran through the happenings of the day and she looked directly at him. With a dead serious tone she said, “What test?” She didn’t know there was a test of any sorts. She continued, “I don’t remember anything about a test. I found a hiding spot to be away from people until the sadist ruined it. I was going to find another hiding place but then you killed that woman and I decided to put her body to use. Was that the test?” She was very confused.

She flipped the meat and noticed it wasn’t burning onto the metal very much. It was possibly how she was cooking it. She took off the meat she had cooking when it was done then put on more. She finally registered him asking her to clean up afterwards and said, “I will.”

[Silver]

Stood there and looked to her and smirked then walked over to a piece of paper and wrote something on it and walked out then handed it to one of his men and explained to him this is a suicide mission his goal is to survive and keep the piece of paper form the person trying to kill him and sent him off onto the island then turned and walked back in. “Since you don’t feel you were tested. I have a new test for you. It is simple enough I have sent a man out onto the island your job is to hunt him kill him and retrieve the piece of paper on him. Only thing is don’t be seen and don’t get caught..” he then walked back to his workbench and sat down kicking his legs up onto the table and started to hum to himself.

[Lord English]

Vic looked at the on goings and just tilted her head. Then she resumed cooking her meat until she was told about not feeling tested. She listened to him explain then her head tilted to the side. She wanted to ask him what about the meat, but she figured if she left it in the room, it’d cook slowly on its own. She took one of the pieces of the cooked meat and chewed on it. she tried to eat it fast and it tasted different but good to her. Food was food. She then stopped eating once she had shoved it all into her mouth and then said, “I don’t have to read it do I?” She wiped her mouth off with her arm. She then continued, “I also don’t know what you mean by ‘since you don’t feel tested’ seeing as I don’t know what the tests were supposed to be. I wasn’t told there’d be tests… So this is  test?” She was very confused, she was more used to just killing and shinies to survive.

[Silver]

He watched her as she took to eating the meat and sighed he had heard of people doing this but said nothing as it didn’t directly effect him. He smiled at her question and went to answer it but she pushed through with more to say and he shook his head. “That ledge was the test there was something written up there to read. Also to answer your initial question Yes you have to read it and until you figure out what it says and what it means then your test is incomplete. Also I need your word that you are with us til your dead.” His statement was clear and he looked to her and smirked. “You can only use the weapons you have on you. He has a head start on you.” With a smile he watched her.

[Lord English]

Vic listened and gave a light shrug and then said, “I can’t read.” She began walking for the door and then pivoted back towards him and said, “I don’t mind hanging around til I die, much better than trying to survive on the streets.” She turned back for the door and took off to head out onto the island, looking for running tracks in the dirt since they should be easier to spot than the tracks of everyone else who was walking. She found just the print she was looking for and looked for another and noticed it went into a more wooded part. She smiled and went to that part and climbed up into the trees and started going branch to branch.

[Silver]

Watched her and sighed as he sat there and waited then heard her words and stopped his thought process.. did she just say she couldn’t read. Was she fucking kidding she couldn’t read and we wanted this. With a sigh he took and crossed his arms over his chest. “Then I guess you have a lesson to learn from this test after all and that is to read and comprehend what you are reading.” By this time the man had a good head start on her and was deep in the jungle hiding and looking for a better way to stay out of sight. He had contracted other men to go running around to disguise his trail and his foot prints.
