"Kalimera!" Megara called out. (Means Good Morning in Greek)

"We don't have time for this." spoke the first mate who looked actually familiar as he had been on one of the wanted posters of Neapolix for treason and murder. One thing Leah the first did during Aurora's 2 year with her Aunts in the forest.

"Nonsense, Kenneth." The Captain shut him down. "These girls need help."

"I don't like that galley boy." Calypso said. "Something's up with him that's for sure."

"Lucky for you, Captain's boys will love your enchanted singing voice Calypso." stated Amphithoe.

"Aaaaaaa, Aaaaa Aaaaaaaa Aaaa!" Calypso sings her eyes glowed dark. The clouds went gray. Meg plugged her ears right away.

"Crew entertainment bring them on aboard."

"Their sirens, they're witches just those out of line Gypsies."

"No, they're not." Megara answered. "You better watch your mouth boy I know you're hiding something from this entire crew."

"Who do you think you are?" asked Kenneth.

"I certainly don't bribe people, lad." stated Megara.

"I think some would call enchanting entertainment bribery of a sort." stammered Kenneth.

"Nope, it is a needed service and it's not like they can be framed for killing someone's horse and failing to kill your brother. Your wanted poster made its way into Greece, jealous boy, your family is furious at your actions." Meg answered. "Living a life full of lies is worse than the actions of your King of Neapolix, it's a complete waste as it shows you are worth nothing and are an empty soul doomed to never move on after your death."

"Stop talking that."

"You won't tell me anything what to do." threatened Megara her eyes narrow her hand went to a knife. She cut the postal satchel off his arm anx left a bleeding scar.

"Wow, I like Hades' new little lady, she is very quite bold." Actaea notes as she watched closely the interaction between the stranger on board and Meg's dark conversation.

"Hey, what did you do that for?"

"Blood to be repaid, young sailor." Megara filled the flask with two inches of his blood. Her first task was done. "Did Stefan send you to betray your Queen?" She pushed him against the wall.

"No, ma'am he was afraid she'd cut into his skin again if he showed her anything but proper respect. She picked up the satchel slung about her shoulder and put into it the sealed flask of blood who had severely wronged her soon to be Queen this was one ingredient she knew Hades had asked her to find. She pulled out the postal R. S. V. P. that was Maleficent's signature at the bottom the guest list was also there and her name was on it. Advisor to Leah's Father King So and so's name Fairy Maleficent. So why didn't the soldiers let her in on the day of the Christening. Someone on the inside had to be behind it but who. Maybe a jealous guard and his family perhaps might have begun this feud? The herald's signature was on it. This boy had put his older brother through so much terror at 10 years old. This mission was going to be complicated to explain than previously thought so many clues were dropping in her face.

Meanwhile in the Corinthia stable while her Mother was prepping a garden soil bed and stone pathway up to the new home Merida was mucking the horse stalls and giving the horses horseshoes to protect their feet the process of getting them didn't hurt of you were careful while with the animal but for a horse like Angus being a draft horse horseshoes are impossible to put on when you have all that hair crowding over the hoof.

(I love that Merida's not shy about mucking stalls most people who work with animals are afraid of doing the dirty work but Merida in this difference is like me I will muck a horse stall in a hesrtbeat only the pee really stinks the stall up. Horse scat is not that smelly, and actually smells pretty close to a similar scent of hay-bales.)

"What a lovely job, I am surprised Girls hate mucking stalls."

"Not all girls, young Dingwall I do Angus' everyday and he appreciates me all the better for it. Keeps him healthier."

"Nope, I suggest three interchangeable pastures for sheep and horses." Kleo immediately speaking to King Fergus.

"I agree with her, 6 fields should be outlined for such purposes." stated Merida as she came out of the barn after she lay down sawdust and straw for bedding of the horse stalls eventually. "The sheep will be closer to the ground and take care of some of the tougher materials horses cannot handle. Horses will keep trees pruned especially if fruit trees."

"You heard her let's set up six sheltered pastures, lads." Her Father responded.

"I still can't believe that visitor called your Dad a red haired viking." said Dingwalls's son.

"Me either, but just so everybody knows there's only be one Scottish viking and he's from the real world. We are much more distance from him despite being a sea faring race before I was born."

"Before any of us were born you mean Merida." Macintosh son said to her. "But now we've come homeward bound. It seems to me Mordu is probably our races ancestor, Princess Merida of Dunbroch."

"I believe that too, lad." Merida agreed. "But enough chitchat, got lots of work to be done, young gentlemen."

They nodded and bowed to her and went to join the rest of her Father's men.

"Found your boy yet?" asked Kleo. Merida shook her head, and said. "I don't know either three well enough to decide who I like better Kleo."

"Listen to your heart, it will guide you right always. Guard your heart, Princess, for everything you do will flow from it." Kleo placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Normaniforever4 LavenderScent4
