"Ok, I will do as you say." Leonard nodded his head.
"Oh yeah, I asked Robert to take me to the ships today, who wants to come?" Dan asked after remembering about it.
"I will go." Randy said as soon as Dan finished his words, he didn't really have a lot of things to do, and he found staying at the underground base quite boring so he decided to follow him.
"Me too, I never saw a ship before" Anie said.
"Yeah, you seem better now you aren't as weak as you used to be, so I think that going out is going to be a good thing for you " her brother Robin said that with a gentle smile.
Anie's complexion did become better after the blood bath, her face wasn't as pale as before, even though it was still white from her not going out a lot, her white skin had a hint of healthy redness, making it obvious that she was better than before.
"What about you brother, won't you come with us?" Anie's asked her brother, it seemed from his words that he didn't want to go with them.
"Yeah, I won't go I just started feeling my power again, I will rest for today, and who knows? maybe after tonight's blood bath I might be able to use my ability again." when he finished his words he turned his head to Dan and said:
"Dan you won't have to wait for my answer, tonight I will be awaiting your help with the body tempering technique."
His words were a surprise to Dan but he smiled and said:
"Ok, don't worry I won't forget it."
Anie didn't try changing her brother's mind, as first, she knew that if he decided on something, no one can make him change his mind and second, she didn't want to appear as if she didn't trust Dan
.
"Don't look at us, even though she's somehow able to control her ability it's not perfect we still have a lot of work to do." Nero said.
His words made Katherine somehow sad, she too wanted to see the ships with Anie and the others, but she also knew that the most important thing for her at that time was to control her ability, so she didn't say anything.

"What about you Leonard do you want to come." Dan then turned his head to Leonard and asked.
Leonard hesitated for a bit, but after his eyes fall on Katherine he said:
"I think that I will stay, I want to take a look at how Katherine is training, after all I too will awaken an ability soon, and should know those things."
"Ok, it's decided then, but let,s leave that for later, n
ow let us try our new powers." Dan said
.
They then moved to a room which the blood power users used for training.
For the gang they found that their speed, reflex and power all became way better then before, they were still less powerful then the one eyed dragon, but it was a good start.
"You freak, forget about any danger, you better help me with that technique of yours tonight." Nero said while looking at Dan.
Dan had the most improvement amongst them, he was almost as strong and as fast as the one eyed dragon, giving the others a great shock, and making them finally understand what that technique really meant.
At the end everyone showed happy expressions.
Especially Anie. Her face was beaming with happiness, she had a weak body since young, so heaving a healthy body was unthinkable for her.
"Ok we understood our powers better now, so everyone return to what you should be doing, and to those who want to go with me to see the ships, take a rest we will leave three hours from now."Dan said.
Nero Leonard and Katherine left on their own, while Robin and his sister left to rest.
Dan returned to his room calmed himself, and started thinking about what they would need in their long journey through the ocean, he thought for a while and made a mantle note of everything he thought they needed before setting down and looking at the drops of dragon blood in the little bottle.
He wished for more blood, the memories in his head of people fighting dinosaurs bare-handedly were something he wanted, not just for himself but for the other six and everyone that might follow him.
And then he started thinking about his group, they were just a bunch of people bought together by chance, and they had no sense of belonging to each other, but that wasn't what he wanted, he wanted them to think about themselves as a part of one group, one team, that's what he wanted them to think about.

As his mind kept on going from one thing to the other he didn't notice the passing of time, not before he heard old Frank's voice along with some knocks on his room's door:
"Sir Dan, it's time to go to the ships, the others are ready, they are only waiting for you."
Old Frank's voice brought him back to his senses, he hurriedly got up fixed his clothes and left the room.
When he did, he found old Frank waiting for him there.
"Hey old Frank, how was your morning?" Dan asked.
"It was great, thanks for asking. Now please follow me, the others are already waiting for you." old Frank answered, before he started moving.
He was actually quite happy, starting from yesterday, after Dan and the others took control of the gang, he was being treated way better than before, it was because he was the only one in the whole gang with a good relationship with them.
Dan nodded his head and followed old Frank, they talked as they moved toward the place where the others were.
"You are quite late." Randy said as soon as he saw Dan enter the room.
"Sorry, I was somehow lost in my thought in my own room, so I kind of forget entirely about time." Dan said apologetically as he looked at everyone who was there.
As expected Randy Anie and Robert were all there, the thing that surprised Dan was seeing Barry there with them.
"Barry you want to follow us too." Dan asked Barry withal smile.
"Y... Yes I want to go with you sir, if you let me I mean" Barry said wig trembling voice.
"Of course you can, old Frank are those all!" Dan said.
"Yes sir"
"Ok, lead the way then."
They then moved for a while before finding themselves in front of a dark tunnel, the tunnel seemed man made, it was two meters and half tall and a meter and half wide.
"This is the tunnel leading to the ships, it was dug by us and the blood power users, it is more than two km long and it leads straight to the cave where the ships are kept, it took us one year to dig, in that one year many people died because of exhaustion and hunger before we were able to finish it." old Frank said with a long sigh, then he returned to his sense and added as he looked at the people with him:
"Well that was a long time ago, let's get moving then."
The tunnel was dark and hummed, if it weren't for the blood baths that they had, maybe the weak bodied Anie, and the modern day Dan, wouldn't have been able to handle it, for Randy on the other hand, it would have been quite easy even without the blood bath, as no matter what world it was, soldiers always go through bad and horrible situations in their training, especially the elites.
They moved like that for a while, but even though the place was kind of creepy they forgot about it as they were talking and having fun while walking.
They soon saw a light in the end of the tunnel, Robert said after he saw it:
"It seem that we are finally there."
After leaving the tunnel they found themselves inside a big cave, the inside of the cave was huge it gave them a shock, especially to Anyie who never saw something like that before, the inside of the cave was lit using torches.
As the three, who were there for the first time, were looking around them with interest, lost themselves in the great scenery in front of them, they heard Robert panicked voice behind them:
"Wait isn't it supposed to be day already? why is it so dark, here where is the sun?" When he finished talking he looked at the others in panic but then he saw that the only one that was panicking was him, and that the others were looking at him calmly.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet.

Blue Stars ★ |R.L|
E se as estrelas tivesse um papel mais importante do que só enfeitar os céus? E se elas estivessem presentes em uma pessoa? E se alguém tivesse poderes de te encantar com apenas as cores e os brilhos de seus olhos? " Uma voz grossa ecoou atrás de mim, fazendo com que eu me virasse a procura do tal. Me virei e me deparei com um garoto, aparentemente pouco mais velho que eu. Ele se aproximava e me olhava de uma forma que ninguém tinha me olhando antes. Ele adentrou seus olhos nos meus e a cor deles me lembravam estrelas. Seus globos oculares eram tão brilhantes e azuis quanto e minha vontade de descobrir quem era, era maior ainda. Ele era indecentemente lindo, ele era perfeito, instigou meus instintos em segundos e meus lábios se puseram a arder e meus dentes a beliscá-los."Sarah era apenas uma em meio a milhares de outras garotas de dezesseis anos, mas quando o amor bate á porta, e um garoto como Rafael Lange aparece em sua vida, negar é apenas a segunda opção.- Capa feita por Laura Machado (Fábrica de Capas)
