• "Do you really?" Zemus asked. "You always want to rush into things. Though its best to analyize the situation take in your surroundings and understand everything before you attack."
    Blaise sighed as he untied the rope holding the ship to the pier he held the boat steady as zemus lowered himself into the craft and sat on the front bench. "Are you ready master?" Blaise asked as he dropped down into the boat rocking it slightly. "Yes, yes." He said absentmindedly. Blaise sat on the back bench and put his hands on the boat dock. Feeling the aged wood press into his palms as he pushed them off and into open water. "Ill lead the way. You just paddle blaise." Zemus comanded as he grabbed one of the two oars that lay in the bottom of the boat and blaise grabbed the other, they dipped them in the water and blaise got lost in the rythm of rowing and the gently rocking of the boat by the waves.'i wonder what this is about' blaise thought to himself after awhile of rowing. "Its been some time since you were off the island blaise." Zemus said before blaise could bring it up. "Yes it has. Can i ask what for?" Blaise asked. Zemus was silent for a minute as the rowed. "Im craving their salt roasted fish." Zemus laughed hardily. 'I cant belive it.' Blaise thought to himself. 'the only thing that can bring this old hermit out is salted fish.' Zemus coughed a bit and looked back at him. "This fish is simply amazing." He said with a grin. Blaise shook his head Transfering the paddle over to the other side of the boat. When it was over his head a farmilure pain burned like a branding iron through his right arm. He grunted dropping the oar into the boat with a clatter. He doubled over his other hand grabbing his shoulder. "Blaise!" Zemus shouted but he couldnt hear him every thing had gone black and his arm burned worse then before. "Agony!" His mind screamed out. "Yes?" He answered. "Help me." Blaise begged. "Im sorry. Im not a healer this is beyond me." He said and blaise felt his presence vanish. Blaises body spasmed uncontroalbly in pain. Then it was gone. As abrubt as it had appeared it was gone. Blaise's vision returned and he found himself in the bottom of the boat with zemus looking down on him. "Are you alright?" He asked worried. Blaise slowly climbed onto his bench holding his arm. "Im fine. Its just muscle cramps." Blaise said waving him off. "You've had a bunch of cramps lately."zemus said turning back around. "I know." Blaise said slowly picking up his oar and carefully put it in he water so not to cause an attack. "Banannas" zemus said. "What?" Blaise asked confused. "Banannas." He repeated bobbing his head as he rowed. "Why." Blaise asked. "They help prevent cramps." Zemus explained. "Really, i had no idea." Blaise said rowing in sync with him. "Yeah, we'll get you some in fraza." Zemus said. "Its worth a try." Blaise said for his master's benifit. He knew what he needed to heal it and she was far away. 'It came back at the worst time.' Blaise thought to him self. 'How am i going to get to the herbalest if i cant leave master.' Blaise sat brooding in his thoughts as he rowed in silence. Suddenly there was a loud pop followed by a red light that lit the night. "What on earth?" He looked up in the sky and saw a shower of red sparks. "Oh, its just fire works." Blaise said. "Its started," zemus said excitedly. "Come on pick up the pace Blaise!" The old mans arms blurred as he rowed faster. Blaise smiled and rowed faster. The bow of their small craft tipped up out of the water as they sped forward. "How much farther?" Blaise questioned afraid thay his arm would start hurting under thr strain of rowing so fast. "Not much more." Zemus said excitedly. "Its right up ahead." Blaise looked over his masters shoulder and could make out the scatered lighting of bonfires and lanterens in the gloom ahead. He could makeout the shape of a dock surrounded by boats of diffrenrt shapes and sizes. "When i say so we stop rowing but untill then dont let up." Zemus comanded.
