The calm wind from outside blew through the opening and small cracks down under deck of the ship cooling it down there. Umbra sat and watched far off to the other side of the ship to an old man staring back at him. The man was the one who taught him all about being on a ship like this, he was like his mentor. The man however was dead, he had died weeks into the sea to for Umbras contract and Umbra would not toss the body overboard. Umbra stood to his feet as the late evening grew darker towards a nighttime atmosphere. Stars shining above behind black clouds. "A small storm is coming." Umbra said standing and going topdeck. When he got there he felt raindrops falling up in his skin. All the other men had went below deck except for a few who would stay up and direct the ship along with Umbra himself for the time. The feel of the rain calmed him, and gave him courage and strenght, dedication. He was going to get this job done he said to himself in his mind as he stoood there letting the rain fall down on him as he held his arms wide open to the side"Still got a long time until we hit land, hours." he said out loud to the men above with a from. "I'm ready to get this over with for our pay."
In unison the men stared towards Umbra and said, " We are too, Sir." -
Roslyn had soon finished taking care of her delicate plants. Shs sighed and looked up at the sky as she wiped her forehead. Roslyn hadn't complete finished watering her plants, fortunately. It seemed to soon to rain as Roslyn stood. Walking inside she had grabbed her handkerchief. Roslyn wiped her forehead with her handkerchief. She sighed feeling unable to fall asleep. Roslyn soon was sitting in her rockong chair humming a soft tune to keep her entertained. Not much happened within this town but at least shw could go hunting unlike most women. Roslyn sighed once more in the silence. She continued to rock back and forth preparing herself for a night's rest.

Umbra let the rain fall upon his skin as it came a bit harder down. He was not afraid of getting wet, he loved this type of weather the most because it put him at ease. He walked over to a nearby barrel which was bolted down between two larger barrels taking a seat on the middle one. He was right bejind the few men who were awake still and on deck staring at them as the ship sailed down closer and closer towards their destination. "Listen! Don't sink the ship or wreck as I close my eyes for a bit. If this ship gets even a scratch on her then your head will be mounted atop my sword." he said staring at his men before laughing a bit. They stared at him as he did so a bit confused. "You think I'm serious? I would throw you off ship not take yer head atop me bloody sword! Unless I have to that is." Umbra said as he leaned back. "Now back to work " he ordered as he slowly closed his eyes.

Roalyn gazed upon the nearby window. As it poured down upon the flowers Roslyn watched as nature to it's course. Tomorrow Roslyn had planned to go hunting in the woods a few miles north. As she sat there rocking back and forth the sound of the rain hitting her window created a soothing atmosphere. Closing her eyes she always wondered if he family was looking for her or even missing her. I have my biggest doubts of them looking for me or even concerning about me for where I have gone. They only cared for was abusing me sexually and physically. That is not the way to live. Living in peace is rather more fitting for me Roslyn thought with a faint sigh.

Umbra had his eyes closed shut as the rain began to fall heavier over their heads and heavier. This is how I can live. The rain above us and my sea below us. A cool wind a-blowing, and the ship, my baby, flowing, flowing to our destination. The crew were steadily at work not much must doing basic to keep the ships moving and balanced as usual. "When we arrive to our destination, I'll leave early morning to go to scout the areas Mr. X told us about. You boys rest up and clean my ship before going off into the town for supplies." Umbra said to the men as a lightning volt struck down with a roaring thunder in the distance.

Unable to sleep although the rain would've had put Roslyn to sleep. She sighed as she rocked back and forth. Soon Roslyn stood wanting to read a book about flowers or something interesting. As Roslyn looked through her small shelves of books. She had fallen upon a book filled with information about all different kinds of flowers. As Roslyn slowly opened the book she sighed. Nothing to do in the town but Roslyn felt safe. She once again gazed upon the wqindow feeling a bit dazed on what to do. Roslyn sighed once more an walked towards the window with her book. She then stood there staring out the window.

Lightning flashed down harshly as time passed on Through the night, thunder roaring loudly throughout the atmosphere. Umbra stayed inplace between the barrels however, not moving at all, letting the rain fall upon him. He opened his eyes to a flash of lightning, the wind growing heavier and the ship rocking side to side but he was balanced between the barrels. He had grown used to this type of weather and learned to compwnate for the seemingly unbalance it have and turn that into a balance a bit. He say there staring out in front of his ship, staring towards the island, staring towards his next Mark. "I am an assassin, I always get my Mark." he said.

Royn stared out the window feeling the tension of an soon event. Maybe in a few hours or so. Hopefully it will be a good event Roslyn thouhgt sighing. Roslyn felt like going for a walk through the small town. As she put the book down upon the top of the shelf. Roslyn walked through the living room out the front door. As she walked her clothes began getting wet due to the rain. As Roslyn walked her feet had led her to the docks. Not wanting to feel any less bored Roslyn continued to walk to the docks. Maybe someone could prehaps chat with her or play a small friendly game. Unfortunately, no one whom to be at the docks. Ships swayed in the sea many prepared to go away from the small town. Such a simple town was no place for adventurous people. As she sighed Roslyn sat staring upon the sea.

Umbra began to slowly doze off into a state of sleep but his eyes were still open halfway as his head grew heavier. "Soon I shall be there. Soon the hint begins." he said resting his arms on the barrels as the wind blew, the rain fell, the lightning struck. "I'll not give up." Umbra closed his eyes shut as time passed upon the ship, a breeze of air cooling them, his eyes closed right as he listened to the rain tap, tap, tap upon the barrels and the wooden floor of the ship.

Roslyn laid her head down but kept her feet dangling from the dock. As she sighed moving her feet onto the dock she could finally feel sleep taking over. Her eyes grew heavier and as so did her head. Roslyn fel a bit dazed as she closed her eyes. As she took her last gaze upon the sea Roslyn whispered softly. "Tomorrow will be a better day than today." As Roslyn drifted of to sleep she could hear the soothing sounds of the waves, rain and wind.

Umbra fell asleep there between the barrels as the men continued to work throughout the night. Time passed by and the rain lessened through the night as the ship sailed. Daylight was awaiting soon but just before daylight, Umbra's eyes opened and in the car off distance was the land now. He was wet with the rain as he say there staring off,"how long?" he asked. A man named Oscar cameover to him. "Hour or two left to landfall now, sir." Oscar said walking by. Umbra stood to his feet and stared off to land. "Soon, I'll be there. Let the hint begin." He said with a chuckle as he stared to the grey sky, sunlight piercing through now. "How refreshing." he said.

Roslyn has been awoken by light shaking. "Ms. Carmen please wake up" a soft elegant tone was heard by her once awakening. Roslyn sat up and sighed to where she had slept. "Roslyn you seem to be a plebeius" the women said sighing. "Such harsh word but I did indeed sleep in the rain. I shall go home and change but, please do not call me a plebeius" Roslyn replied standing. Once walking away from the docks she now felt the eyes of hawks upon her. Closing her eyes and heading her way home she had thought about the docks. It seemed soothing and calming yet it was endless. Roslyn sighed and continued her way home.
"plebeius" means "peasant" in Latin)) -
Umbra walked back and up to where he could see all of his crew as they came out and as they all came out and stood before him, he stared at them. "We will hit land Soon, once there I will get off and search for the Mark. All of you will be preparing the ship, getting supplies, repairing the ship, and some will stay here. Do not slack off! That is all." He said as he loftws his head staring to the land, it was closer and closer as they sailed on. Umbra had his sword and dagger on his body already so he was ready. Once they got land He was going to hop off and start immediately his search. The ship sailed on, and the calm wind blew, he was intent to get his Mark.

Roslyn stopped for a moment to hear murmurs. As she turned around to see the small crowd about four women and men she sighed. As she approached the docks once more she had seen a pirate or merchant. "It must be nothing folks please run along! You all are so busy in someone's busineess" Roslyn said as she shooed the crowd away. Sighing she looked back at the long blonde hair elder. "Possibly a pirate" Roslyn murmured to herself. As she continued to shoo the crowd Roslyn had thought or staying as far as possible from the man. My clothing will soon dry. I should probably head to the garden Roslyn thought as she finally made the crowd disappear. Soon enough Roslyn returned to her walk home.

Umbra walked to the very front of the ship as it approached the docks, staring off at a small crowd on shore of the land but slowly it disappeared. After a few moments the ship came to the harbor and Umbra leaped off into the platform before the ship even stopped completely yet. "My time starts now, remember what to do!" he yelled at his crew as he began to walk down the bridge structure, passing men as they fished in the sea. now where to begin? Lets start around here. he knew a basic description of who he was looking for and would start around the docks, in case they were among the crowd from before.
