And they were off. Though it was a place completely uncharted, they had a good idea of where to go given on a map the island was easily to spot out. It was interesting that it had never been found before but some things remained a mystery in history. Well the journey was cut short, their ship being rammed from behind by another ship as yells and battlecries could be heard. Being this close to pirate land could cause that after all. The Alriest was stuck, and they would have to fend for themselves.

"That was irritating."
Rain sheathed his blade, hand going to his left arm where the axe had struck. Nothing fatal at the least, so there were no complaints on his part. On the other hand, they would crash at this rate or at anything else, they would sink given the other boat seemed to be crashing roughly into them still. He wasn't worried about it now at least, but he knew at least Thor could get off the ship fine. In the long run, he was the one holding them back now. It made him feel horrid inside, but that was for another time. It was interesting enough no less that they had received assistance, and from two ladies at that in opposite professions in a sense.
"Thank you for your assistance. I am Rain Aledersaem, while this is Thor Lilinus Keilen. Without your help, that archer might have gotten one if not both of us, and that last guy would have as well. May I ask your names also?"

"A pleasure."
Thor bowed lightly at the mention of his name. It was true what Rain had said, so there wasn't much for him to add in that regard. They would have to do something about their present situation right now, but alas that would have to pay tribute to a later time from the looks of it. The rider climbed down from her wyvern, landing down before she returned the gesture, smiling afterward at the two.
"Likewise. My name is Railone Jilbern, this being Jasper, my partner."
She rubbed the neck of her wyvern, the wyvern responding in kind and sitting down for a few moments. It knew that they could spare them before they had to go on the move once more and get out of danger here. She could probably ask them about what she had seen not too far from here, especially since they were headed right in that direction.
"I'd like to ask about the island not too far from here if you don't mind, but getting off of here first would be preferred. Since I don't think any of us know how to work this ship from the looks of it."

"There's no need for thanks, I'm just glad I was able to pick out the right side from the fighting going on. Charlene Reingale, at your service with her partner, Silvia."
'Naturally as a mercenary, she was used to being in someone else's services. This usually involved introductions and a whole lot of other things, but all in all she was glad that she helped out the right side. Her other rider made a valid point too for the fact that the ship at this rate was probably either going to be lost out here or sink. She wondered why anyone would attack it like this, aside from pirates, but none of them looked like that. They could check that out later, or the ones that could fly could anyway, her pegasus looking off into the distance.'
"The only issue with leaving is that Rain here has a partner too. While we could take him and Thor to safety, do you really want to just leave him?"

And that was what he was trying to avoid. Guess there was no avoiding it whether he liked it or not given the circumstances and the time. He wasn't exactly the best when it came to this sort of thing, but what he did know was that he would simply have to settle things here and now when it came to getting away. Whether he was good or the best at something he had never done before didn't matter.
"Don't worry about me. I'll steer this thing as good to port as possible and survive the rough landing. I'll meet up with each of you after that at the port."
Guess wherever they were headed had a port. They were headed in the same direction of the island that had caught Ray's attention. Guess in the end they would all discover something about the place in the long run. After all....it was his primary destination out of everything.

Thor honestly couldn't blame Rain for being persistent about the issue. After all, he wouldn't simply abandon his horse if he had one either. Railone couldn't blame him either, and in particular was glad that she wasn't in the same predicament as him. Though she wanted to point out the brashness of trying such an act when he had no prior experience to it, Thor managed to speak up first.
"Alright then. I'll place my faith in you as I stated before. I'll see you at the port. Let's go, Railone."
She glanced over Thor's way, catching the sight of his eyes beneath the helmet. The confidence in Rain that were held in them possibly and probably was what convinced her after all. She shook her head before nodding, petting Jasper as the wyvern bent down for Thor to climb up, Railone hopping on first before helping Rain climb up next.
"Good luck. Come out in one piece too."
They lifted off shortly after this, heading off for the nearby island. They'd have to search for a bit, but soon enough they would find the port that he mentioned. Given that he mentioned it, no doubt it wasn't very hard to find from where they were.

'Rain certainly said not to worry, but of course you were going to when you put all of the pieces together. She knew he had no intentions of crashing into the port, which made it even worse. Well, it meant no one would be harmed, but it meant he would have to run ashore if nothing else. He'd likely planned to abandon ship and get out of the crash site in time, which meant this wasn't some easy task. Either way, she supposed that it was his decision.'
"I'll respect your wishes then. Do come out safely, Rain."
'Hopping back on Silvia herself, she waved off to Rain before she took off and followed after Railone and Thor. She looked back one more time before she continued on her way. She could only hope for the best and that the Cavalier was right.'

It didn't take long for Rain to get to the wheel and start to try and steer to the best of his abilities. Len and the 'captain' Mort were still just lying there the rest of the way as he did so. Those who had gone on ahead could see the land as clear as day now, but could see a fog slowly coming in too no less. The land that Rain was aiming to get back to and check up on, Aledersaem. They could see the port he was speaking of, and the land nearby that he spoke of landing near. As they each made it to the port, Rain thought he heard something in his ears before nothing came of it, the boat running ashore soon enough for him to make landfall and move on.
