Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's nothing, Blaze replied as her mind came back to the ship, I just thought I saw a cave on the mountain is all. She shock her head trying to get the feeling out when a loud bell was heard ringing from below deck. BREAKFAST!!! Blaze was off without a second thought.

Amaya stood up straight as Blaze pointed out the mountain cave on the distant island. Of course seconds later the bell signaling breakfast rang. "There she goes again," laughing softly to herself as she follows suit.

Sitting at the table, Amaya fills her plate and begins eatting. She wasn't really one to talk about eatting everything in sight. If they weren't on the ship she would probably have a bigger appetite herself. "Are the left overs really that bad?" Not that she asked very loudly, more like a thinking outloud sort of question.

She ponders over the cave that Blaze had mentioned the looks up when Aurora mentions the island. "The name of which, Aurora? The island or the seventh wonder? I thought it was something like Iona, the purple jewel. At a certain time during the year the hillsides are covered in violet flowers that glow after sunset. Unless I'm thinking of something else." She takes a bite then looks around the table at the others hoping they offer some more insight to where they were going to be docking next.

Aurora watched Blaze leave, thinking about the island Iona. "Iona sounds beautiful, I hope that's where we're going to dock!" The two of them finished breakfast and walked up the steps and found that they had just reached a dock.

Aurora smiled, "I can't wait until Sunset."

Amaya had followed Aurora back up to the deck. Stretching her arms out above her head after having filled herself at the breakfast table felt wonderful. If it wasn't still so early in the day she would like to take a nice little nap. She laughs softly at Blaze's suggestion of running around silly. "There is plenty of time until sunset Aurora, but I know what you mean. I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers myself. When we get to town I want to do a bit of shopping. I think it's about time to get a few new clothes. These are starting to show their wear. We should do some exploring while we are here. Who knows when we will pass this way again." Amaya smiles at the others, then walks over to the ledge to look out at the island.

Placing both hands on the railing Amaya closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath as if imagining the scented bath. "Mmhm, I think that sounds like a great idea." Opening her eyes she grins as she looks over at the younger girl."I don't know why I didn't think of the bath house idea myself. It will be nice to smell feminine again. Perhaps we should go together."

Though I'd rather not go into town, I guess I do need the bath. But I'll skip the clothes shopping and help with the reloading, after I run around all silly like. Blaze smiled childishly in response.

The boat jerked to a stop then and some of the deck hands jumped to the dock with ropes in had to tie down the boat. Sailors came out into the fresh air and gave a shout of joy to find the ship docked. The plank was lowered and without a second thought Blaze took off to run around like an idiot.

Aurora's hand reached won into her back pocket to find it securely hidden, and steadily attached to her. " Yep, I'm ready. We'll catch up with you later, okay?" She glanced at the sign above that read "Port Iona", making the corners of her mouth turn up.

As they passed through they found many other ships docking at the port there carrying huge imports and shipments just come in from neighboring islands. The people on the island many consisted of foreigners, but the residents all adorned numerous small-flowered violas that matched their amethyst eyes. In contrast, everyone was very well-tanned not to mention friendly. Everywhere they went there were millions of smells, sights and other marvelous wonders to be encountered as they searched for a clothing store and walked by the bath house "Sorgente Lilla". They passed it, and as they turned the corner they spotted a clothing store down the street. " There it is!" she acknowledged.
