The small group of pirates carrying the assasin marched silently through the jungle, except for Sparky.
"Are you sure Aisuru will die?", she whispered to Frederic.
"I can't say for sure wizout knowing what happened to him."
"Can you cure him?"
"I hope."
"GAAAHH!", a yell escaped Sparky's throat and caused everybody to look at her in confusion.
"Is everything alright?", Stone asked.
"Aye, aye. It's.. nothing.", Sparky said hastily. It was obvious nobody really believed her, but the other simply walked on. Sparky muttered to herself: "I just hate when doctors say such things!"
Either Frederic really didn't hear her or he pretended not to.

Aslansa had already a bright smile on his face when Lady Riddle reached him, Angel and Lilt.
"You seem to be upset, me Riddle.", Angel noticed.
The demon chuckled and Angel looked at him in confusion.
"It's... nothing.", Riddle wanted to say, but the words that left her mouth were:
"I think I might fall in love."
Angel's eyes widened and "I knew it!", was written all over Aslansa's and Lilt's faces.
"With whom?", Angel asked curiously, while the two men couldn't stop smirking.
"Please don't get upset.", Riddle began and confessed: "It's Nemo."
"Aww, that's so cute.", Aslansa cheered. To Riddle's surprise, Angel smiled softly.
"You... aren't upset?", the trickster wondered.
"We have talked and I apologized for the way I acted.", Angel said.
Riddle slapped her head with her flat hand.
"I should have known. Damn it!"
"What wrong, Riddle?", Angel asked worried.
"Nemo just tricked me..." she admitted and Aslansa started laughing.
"You made it easy for him the whole time.", Lilt grinned.
"What?!"
"He steals a kiss and you don't mind at all. He locks you up and you ignore the fact completely. In fact, you were always the first person to defend him. Now he gets you again and you fall in love head over heels.", the bard listed.
Riddle's ears turned red.
"It's nothing you need to be ashamed of.", Lilt smiled and then laughed, too.
"Oh, what has he tricked you into this time?"
"It's just an honest answer.", Riddle said hasitly.
"Beware of the question then.", Aslansa grinned.

Finally Chenbeard's group reached the camp and were surrounded by the rest of the crew at once. Thousands of questions were asked.
"Arr, now let me catch me breath before me tells.", the captain began.
"As ye can see, we were finding our assassin. But it appears something's been poisoning him. Therefore he's entrusted ta our faithful doctors until further notice."
Aisuru was brought to the doctor's hut where Frederic examined him closely. After a while, he went over to Chase, the veterinarian.
"Chase, I need your assistance.", he said.
"How can I help you?"
"Take a look at Aisuru and tell me what you zink."
"Aye."
Chace followed Frederic to Aisuru. The doctor removed the blanket and showed the veterinarian a small, blue framed wound on the assassin's upper leg.
"Please tell me zis was an animal."
Chase took a close look.
"It's not a bite, but a puncture.", he then stated.
"The diameter is too large for an ordinary insect and the location is too high for a sting ray or scorpion."
He looked at Frederic.
"This isn't caused by an animal."
The doctor nodded slowly.
"I had feared you'd say zis. How about ze poison?", he asked.
Chase examined the assassin.
"Faint breathing, but it's stable. Heart beat is slowed, but not dangerously slow. No stiffness or spasm.", he muttered while checking breath, heartbeat and movement of the limbs.
"I'm pretty sure this is no animal poison. Where there spiky plants of any sort where you found him?"
"None you wouldn't find around here."
"Crap.", Chase sighed.
"Aye." Frederic agreed. "Captain Chenbeard needs to know Aisuru was attacked by someone."
"Wait! This could also be done by a trap, don' you agree?"
"I never heard of dried poison having such effects."
"I never heard of an effect like this caused by poison."
"So what do you suggest?"
"I'd like to see the place were you found him. Maybe we'll find some clues there."
"Good idea. I doubt zere is much we can do for Aisuru now anyway."

Captain Chenbeard didn't like the idea of having both doctors running around in the jungle so he ordered Erik, Valkyrie and Blake to go with them.
Shortly after the five pirates left, Lyra came hurrying to Chenbeard and Hayes. "I found it!", she exclaimed. "I know now where we are!"
"Me be eager to hear."
The navigator unfolded a map and explained.
"We are at 'Lorosia Island'. Accordng to Crystal, it's the island we were searching for."
Lyra pointed on her map.
Chenbeard looked at the co-captain. "That be strange.", he muttered. To Lyra he said: "Be ye sure?"
"Aye, captain. I calculated our whereabouts over and over again. It's the only island we could have stranded on."
"How could the storm bring us ta the island We headed for? We should be gotten off course.", the captain wondered.
"I know, captain.", the navigator said.
"This be very mysterious. Me wants ye ta search for every island nearby, no matter how small it be."
"Aye!"
"Very well, then, Lyra.", Chenebard said and after she went away, he muttered: "How could this be possible?"

Soon after the navigator had left, the chef rushed towards the captain.
"Have you seen Finn?", she asked worriedly. both captain and co-captain negated and Abbey hurried to the next pirates nearby.
"I saw him vanishing between the trees.", Reaper said when the chef asked him.
"When was that?!"
"I don't know. Quite a while ago. I thought he had to go to the loo. Didn't he come back yet?"
Abbey shook her head, close to tears.
