Jack------------------------------------------ ------------------- Cortez
Of Blood and Gold I know, of the freedom of a ship, and only the wind holding you back.
Jack paused before answering. Before, before all of this, before he was a vampire, and before anything happened, perhaps the world was better, but there were a great many blemishes in his memory that would not allow him to say that the world was gentle. "My life back then was not without pain, but I was so very little involved in conflict that for a time, the harshest part of life was the sea," Jack said softly. "Even the harsher times come and go Tessa. Cling to the hope that one day you will live to see a brighter day on the horizon, and that you live long enough to see it," He said, looking over to her with mild concern, as well as a swell of other emotions.

Tessa Cortez
The fear of the many, the price of the truth.
Tessa looked up at her husband with a curious expression before bringing a hand to his and trailing it up to his upper arm, unable to quite reach his shoulder. "Jack, you never do fail to surprise me. Vampire, pirate, gentleman, and still with a wisdom enough to rival the face of reality. What can't you do?" She laughed softly, if slightly hollow in tone, "Or shouldn't I ask, mm?"

Tessa Cortez
The fear of the many, the price of the truth.
"Oh, I'm sure... but that sounds like a challenge to me." Tessa lifted herself halfway in dragging Jack down with her, "And I accept..."
The Wisdom of the Slaughter, forever drowning...
"So, this is it, is it? You've come to finish me off even now that I've taken a stand against the very reason you wanted to kill me in the first place?" "You were never being forced, Illumine. You said it yourself; you acted on your own, even if you regret it." "And you're going to kill me because I succeeded? Are you mad, Fienna?" "No. I am the daughter of death. It has called your name for some time now, as I am sure you are aware." "Wait... Oh, you wretch. It was you all along, wasn't it! You were the one behind Kesaide's turning!" "Your powers of deduction are not too far off. Commendable, but I have to ask... even if you were to kill him, what would you do then? You cannot solve all the problems in creation; it must be rewritten." "Then I would die trying." "Be grateful then; now is your chance."

Some time later, Jack lay with his eyes closed, loosely holding Tessa to him while he breathed slowly, merely in a state of content. He was happy, partially because of the happiness he felt just by being close to Tessa, and partially because of the lack of thirst he felt towards Tessa. Either way, he smiled and kissed the top of Tessa's head softly, breathing in her scent. "I love you," He murmured.

Illumine Kerael
I could have been something more. I could have meant something in this web. Instead, I surrendered to hatred.
After a moment's hesitation, Cassandra and Vanessa lowered their blades and took two steps back each. Illumine breathed substantially easier but did not move otherwise. "I came into a recent struggle with Fienna Morael." She explained, "I don't know how aware you are of this but the girl isn't entirely herself from time to time. I was lucky to get away with my life, but when I did I noticed something I wasn't expecting..." She looked a little more sternly to Jack, her expression otherwise unwavering. "Being a goddess in the elemental domains isn't as simple as it is informative. Someone she's met, I can only assume, has a controlling factor in her dilemma, and in tracing it I found she'd come across you as well... do you know anything about this?"
Though I am the goddess of Light, I am sworn on my life now, forever to fall into darkness.

"The daughter of death or something," Jack said, taking off his hat and rubbing his forehead, as if trying to erase the seemingly permanent wrinkle on his brow. "I first met her back at the first port we stopped in, de Canta I believe," He said. "I have no fond memories of her really, and neither does...my...mother..." Jack looked around, noticing her absence. His sister was there, perched on the railing, curious as could be, but his mother was gone. Jack looked down in a brief thought before looking back up. "No matter," He murmured to herself. "The girl is powerful, she has a scythe," Jack said, rather lamely and bluntly. Thoughts swirled through his head and he narrowed his eyes, picking out the train of thought he wished to follow at that moment.
