*Sage read the look on her friend's face. yes, she now viewed Izzy as a friend. Well a combination of friend and friend's little sister, but still. She read the look and knew what she was thinking. She stepped over to her, swords hanging losly in her hands.*
"Maybe shouting that to the crew would be helpful, you think?"

Izzy's gaze shifted from the Laymeirds to Sage. "I did." Returning to the Laymeirids she said, "You got a plan? Because I was thinking that rushing in blindly would be bad right now. I don't know if I'm keen on them coming to us, but if we go to them, I don't know...
"Shoudl we play it by ear and everyone be their own judge?"

"I know nothing about them. If I'd had any experience, or if I knew anything about thier battleing at all, I could come up with something. As it is, the goal is pretty much to save your sorry a$s."
*She hten went from tlaking to Izzy to shouting to the crew.*
"Worry not about the Insomnia, people. She's got her own magick. She can't be destroyed. Remember we know nothing of these things. Defend yourself, and your comrads, but always yourself first, if that clear. You are your best defence!"
*She then had a thought and shouted agian.*
"Thoes of you who can work magick, of any sort, to me now!"
*People started moving towards her and Izzy. She had a plan...sort of.*

Izzy continued to monitor the threat, but she was paying equal attention to the conversation.
"I have no magic that I am aware, just the luck to keep surviving," she said in a tone that only those gathered around could hear. She didn't look at Sage when she asked, "What's your plan?"

"OKay, heres the deal. There is a force feild, or sheild like protection spell. Its simple, but incredibly strong. A kitchen witch could cast it and not only would it last for hours, but it would defend against the strongest of magicians. The size of this sheild, for one person to cast, is about the size of the Insomnia, its large. Lets see there are... 29 of us here, including me. That'll be more than enough. If we all cast the sheild, together, It'll be twice the size of that, and then send it flying at what ever the hell that thing is heading towards us...mind it will have to be moving faster than that thing, or as fast to say the lease, but the pure power,a nd strnth of it shuld be enough to not only stop it dead in its tracks, but even force it back. Once it rebounds, we simply keep the sheild moving, at the fast speed, and it won't have a chance in hell to recover, it'll still be forced back.
Its a simple idea, I know, but an effective one. I'm sure it;ll work. I've done things like this before."

Izzy jumped off the barrell and looked to Sage. "Tell me what to do and I'll do it. I might not have my sister's powers, but I'll do my best. Maybe I have magic I know nothing of."
She looked back at the approaching doom. "Tell us quickly what we must do."

*Trippy knew Izzy had magick. if she was Zumi's blood kin, she had power becasue though it may not seem like it, if one siblings had powers, all should.
She taught the group the spell, then they all stood in a line. As one they moved their swords in teh fashion she had told them (for using a weapon in a sheild casting made it even stronger) and suddenly a huge silvery wall appeared between them adn the thing. Trippy had been right, it was easily twice the size of their attacker and then some.
Next each person uttered a spell for speed. There were two spells, one said by everyother person. Trippy didn't speak a speed spell though, the spell she spok wove the two speed spells into the sheild and sent it flying towards the on commer.
Everyperson in that line put all their will and force behind their spells. Once the first colision was made, they would have to keep repeating teh speed spells to push it back...all were ready.*

Izzy closed her eyes tightly and tried to reach the words like she'd been taught. Her sister had so much power, but she'd never managed to get an ounce herself. Gritting her teeth, she gave it her best, yet she knew she was producing nothing. People around her had magical aura of varying degrees in strength, but Izzy was completely barren.
Adjusting her position from what Alexia told her to sit in, she sat down in the position that alexia had seen her in early that morning. Putting her schimitar in front of her she frowned and then put it back in its sheath. Closing her eyes, she began muttering the chant and let her body relax into a slouch. Maybe if she let all her battle pretenses go, she would be able to pull this off. The schimitar was not her own, so it was definitly going to hinder her.

*The two forces rushed in on eachotehr. THe Silvery sheild, and the black mass. Sage watched them intently, never blinking, never moving her eyes at all.*
'If this doesn't work we're screwed. Its our best, last, and only chance. If I had my crew, seasoned warriors, we'de crush it, but these green horns have only mocked batteled, at most. No matter what, though, nothing good can come from this.'
*Then they collided. The silver sheild smashing, slamming, tearing not the black mass and sending it flying back. Sage wasn't surprised at all that the sheild didn't even reel back a little bit. Then she and her magick workers started the spells agian, forcing the shield onward, fast and faster, blowing the black thing back more and more at each colission.*

Why can't I summon magic? Everyone else can - even these shipmates can!
Izzy tried to push her doubts away. She had to find a way to waken her powers. She had to have powers - her parents were greatly powerful and her sister was evident of what Izzy might be capable of. She had pushed herself with her weapondry training to avoid this problem.
Calming herslef, she tried to find her own words to say, her own thing to do. She couldn't even feel the magic twining around her. She felt as though they was nothing in the air, only her own senses told her what was going on.
Squeezing her eyes shut, Izzy searched herself for power that she couldn't obtain through physical training.

::Alexia appeared behind the girl, silently and totally unnoticed.::
'Children always have magick when one parent does. Some just need help in getting it to awaken.'
::She slowly passed her hand over the air abouve Izzy's head,a nd watched as the tiny sleeping sed of magick that was within the girl, bloomed into a beautiful rose. Alexia smirked.::
'Juston is going to be p!ssed was he sees the rose in her. He wanted to help her awaken. Too bad. When he sees I reached her first, they'll be heaven to pay. Oh well.'
::With that she was gone silently as she had arrived.::

Come words, damn you, come! I am not going to be one of them! Never! Izzy refered to those in the family that never awakened their powers. It was one in every generation and she would be damned if she was the one from hers.
Feel something warm glow, she opened her eyes slightly. There was a pinkish aura faintly around her. Blinking, she stared stupidly at it and then felt it grow. Dimly she snorted inwardly and thought. Great. Pink. I can protect her with my wonderful pink skillz.
Then she closed her eyes and found her own words to say, making the sheild grow only a slight bit, her body glowing brightly.

*A hand touched Sage's shoulder lightly, and a soft brush of blonde hair appeared in her vision, nad lips bent down to whisper something in her ear. Sage nodded, never taking ehr eyes off the sheild, and never even pausing as she changed her chant from the one she'd been saying to the new one whispered in her ear now.
The blode gone, the pressure from the hand gone, and the smell of roses told her the goddess had left. She knew Alexia would have stayed if she was actually needed, nad this gave her great hope and confidance which went into the new spell, adding to it.
The Shield was moving so fast now, and so far that it was farther now thatn the black ting had been when they'd first spotted it. Sage repeated her chant once more and the next time the shield hit hte black thing, there was an explosion. Everything was lit up for a split second, so brightly no one could see anything. When all was normal,a nd their eyes re adjusted. The crew of te insomnia could see the shield, but the black ting was gone.*

The need to protect began to ebb and Izzy opened her eyes. Everything was gone and they were safe.
Letting out a breath, she stood up before any of the men could see her and put up her fighting facade. She didn't like it when people saw her true self. She found it weak looking and improper for battle.
Smiling down at those around her, she said in a rushy breathy voice, "You all did it - We all did it. We saved ourselves from doom." For now she added to herself. Her powers had awakened, and now people could track her. She didn't like that, but it meant she would have to be extra carefull and more on guard.
To Sage, she said, 'They're going to analyze this and return. They know we are a force to be reckoned with and probably sensed the power of our herritages in the sheild." She looked tired and worn out, yet she kept herself on her feet, her back straight, hand placed on the hilt of her schimitar. To the men, she was sure she looked strong and able, but she was sure Sage could see her exhaustion.

*A quiet word to Izzy tellign her to go rest in her cabin until she arrived, adn she was cheering on adn withthe rest of her crew. After several minuets fof celebrations, she went to the cabin. Izzy was in the chair in front of the desk. She sat behind it and looked at her.*
"You're worn. You awoke you magick, but its still a small rose bud. It'll bloom wonderfully once you've gotten rid of the stress and had a chance to elarn the magick. I know you're not at your best but I wanted to ask you something. I want you to tell me more about this prophicy. You merely mentione dit. What is it, and whats it supposed to do?"
