Sierena had just bought a skirt and a spell from a passing merchant on the shore of speaking shell. The skirt was long and red and the spell was Alter Self. She had altered the apperanced of her blood red fish tail so that they looked llike long slender human legs. After hours of exploring the Pirate Village Sierena had stoped in a tavern and ordered a drink.

Anaxandera stepped into the tavern, sitting down beside Sierena. "Hey" she said.

Bahamut walks in the tavern, his wings folded behind him. He sees Anaxandrea and goes over to her."Hello Anaxandrea. I havent seen you in quite a while. How have you been?"

Anaxandera sees Bahamut and smiles. "I've been fine. I had to take care of some bisnusse back home but i'm back now"She said.
"Hey how have you been?" she asked.

"Pretty good. still no response from Laoura if I can be god of fire but it doesnt matter."he sits down

"Good Luck" Anaxandera congradulated. "I myself have no interest in Divinity. All the responsiblity, people always coming to you with there problems. It just doesn't suit me." She shrugged.

"Divinity is my goal in life. I cant stop wondering about it."

she chuckled and ordered an ale. "So you got a girlfriend yet?"

"yea. you got a boyfriend?"he orders some wine

"Nah" she said glumly. "Don't got many friends either"

"What, Im not your friend?"pretends to look hurt

"Of course your my friend" she giggled "I said I don't have many, not I don't have any!"

He grins and flys to her other side.

"you like your wings don't you" anaxandera said. She was enjoying the conversation very much. "I wish I could fly"

"my dragon could let you ride him"(oops this was a mistake)

She swiftly declined. "No, I'm afraid of hieghts" She said in a terrifed voice. "That why I can't and won't fly"

Varila walked in serenely, truly looking like the goddess she was, and sat down at a table. When the innkeeper came over, she glared at him fiercely. "Listen, you. If your men don't stop coming after me with their idiotic proposals, then I swear I'll kill the next one that comes within ten feet of my home!" He backed away, and gave her a glass of chilled, blood-red wine. Stirring it with her left index finger, she took out her finger and inspected it. "Seems fine," she muttered, taking a sip.

"suit yourself"

"Fine" She said and ordered drink.

She focused her eyes on Bahamut and Anaxandera warily. "Idiots," she murmured, "fears are things to be conquered, not those to bow down to. Of course..." She shut her mouth abruptly, hearing them talk, yet trying not to be noticed.

"Are you afraed of anything, Bahamut?" Anaxandera asked her friend.

He doesnt answer for a moment"yes. I am afraid of my past. Seems foolish, but I am"He orders another wine, and sips on it while thinking about a great many things, which he thought about quickly, incase anyone read what he was thinking about.

"Hey nothing wrong with that" Anaxandera soothed. "For some people the past is a thing to be mighty afraid of, or something to be mighty proud about. Depending on the person"

"My past isnt anything to be proud of. I hated it. Every day, or century....."

"I see. I have found that with some people it's hard to let go. I think that eventually in the future every one is going to be Happy, Happy and Happy!!!" anaxandera says with glee.

He looks at her strangely"uh, yeah, and I'll turn into a chicken and talk like a cat"

She gave a very loud laugh.

"It's impossible for there to be no problems in the world, and I know you know that. We wouldnt be people if that wasnt true. wed be like rocks"

"True, but it never hurt anyone to dream!" She said and took a long gulp of her drink.

"No, your right about that"he says, and drinks some more wine

Varila shook her head, looking at Anaxandera. "Obviously," she said icily, "she's simply had far too much to drink. I've never seen any sober person so sickeningly happy." She sipped her own wine carefully, as if making sure that poison didn't enter her veins.

He looks at Varila, then looks out the window, watching everything that moved.

Anaxandera scowled at Varila, then turned to Bahamut. "I'm not drunk" she said. "Its not hard to be happy when you want to be"

"Suit yourself," she said coldly. "It seems you forgot we are in a tavern full of pirates. And it's good not to attract attention here." She handed her empty wine glass to maid who passed by and stood up, using her full height to her advantage, seeming to loom over Anaxandera. "I just thought you might like a warning, as it seems you've never been her before." She turned around in a flurry of her cloak and stormed out the door, giving acid looks to anyone who dared to even glance at her.

He finishes his wine."Well, it's been nice seeing you"he leaves

"You to" she calls after him and leaves as well.

Sierena still sat at the bar, chuckling at the way the Land Races behaved
