I.O.N.
Enjoy!

"Hey, Celeste?"
"Yes Co- Marinette?"
"What's that ship doing out there?"
Celeste walked over to the window where Marinette was watching a ship sailing over the ocean. It was too far away to see any concrete details of the boat, but something about it gave Celeste a bad feeling. "I don't know. It doesn't look familiar. I hope it's not pirates."
"Pirates?"
The older maid looked at the young woman out of the corner of her eye. Sometimes it was hard to remember that she didn't have all of her memories. "Thieves of the sea. Disgusting brutes. It would be a crying shame if they ruined the party." Celeste saw the look on Marinette's face and thought that she'd scared the girl. "Oh! But don't worry dear! Lord Dylan would never let something like that happen."
"Of course... I was just wondering what would cause someone to revert to piracy."
"That's an odd thing for you to be wondering about."
Marinette seemed to snap out of it and smiled at Celeste. "You're right. I'm feeling a little tired I think I'll head to bed a little early if that's alright."
Celeste rolled her eyes and shoved the girl into the bed. "Get some rest. Things are going to be changing soon."
As Marinette slept, she dreamed. In her dreams, she was sailing across the oceans, three young women about her age to her right, and two young men to her left. They were all smiling, and telling her to hurry up or they'd miss the tide. In the dream, she tied a red and black spotted mask across her face and left her cabin meeting the five she called siblings, who were all similarly masked.
They were quickly joined by others, some older, some younger. But in the dream, every one of them felt like an important part of herself. Each one a person she would fight for.
Then Marinette saw a ship sailing towards her. The wood was painted a beautiful red that seemed timeless. On the side in elegant writing was the name of the ship Tikki. Marinette didn't know why but the ship brought tears to her eyes and a longing to her heart.
Bolting upright with a gasp, Marinette awoke. Questions tumbled through her mind, 'Who were those people? How do I know them? Do I know them? What was that ship? Why do I want to find it?'
With a sigh, Marinette resolved to ask Celeste or Lord Dylan about it in the morning and tried to go back to sleep.
