It did not take long for him to go down and he felt it again but he felt that it at least for the moment was just him being paranoid and so he went deeper until an eerie cold went through him and he felt his body almost get pulled at as he put his hand out and concentrated as best as he could and he could see the small ripples begin to get bigger and bigger through out the water as the "spirit's form" came into live as a dark mist like cloud through the water.

As Alice found her eyes adjusting to the lack of light she could start to see what Xander could. To her it appeared to be like seeing a dark cloud on a stormy day; you could sometimes pick out an individual cloud from that mass of greys and she kept swimming slightly away from Xander to get a better look. There wasn't much else she could do except to try and spot something that might help him. She still had her intelligence and reasoning intact even with all that was going on. Still, this could be scary but she was holding it together. The vast majority of the people she'd ever known growing up were normals and they were missing out on so much not visiting here.

It was times like this he did not like being able to control the dead because Xander thought that the dead should always remain dead but as shown that was not the case as he finally managed to pull the dead dark cloud towards him and put his hands around it, which caused Xander's own arm start to be covered in black but the shell of a body was now seen at least as he pulled it to the surface and let out a scream as his arm was still in pain. "Let us pass in peace," he managed to get out as the shell of a body begain to attack him, but he still held tight to it as his power took over and the shell of a body finished pulling itself together and removed itself from Xander's hand and spoke, barely words. "Disturb," it simply said as Xander begin to feel his arm. It would heal in days but it did not mean that it did not hurt. Alice Seraphim

Alice felt like a spare wheel watching this play out but she could at least get Xander out of there if things got bad. Seeing all this would weird most people out but she stayed watchful and calm. Hearing what the form had to say got her thinking. She could still talk a little even with an oxygen mask on her face. "Did somebody disturb you?" she asked the form. It might have been her or other swimmers but she would try and set this right. She might also still need to get Xander out of this situation but she wouldn't panic. Xander Dayspring

Xander had long ago become used to what being able to control the dead did to his body and he only hoped that his payoff would be that when he was dead that they would remember all that he had did and welcome him with welcome arms but he took a second and let that thought go as he allowed his body to float as he looked at the form as it turned it's head, which ran a shock down Xander's body but he seemed fine and nodded his head as the form spoke once again. "Sleep interrupted by.." his words trialed off as he pointed at Xander and Alice. Xander rolled his eyes and turned to Alice. "I think he thinks that this is his own piece of land." Alice Seraphim

"The penquin guy might not be too happy to hear about this" Alice replied to Xander. So it had been her and Xander who disturbed the crew. Why it hadn't happened before was a mystery to her given the number of tourists that visited this bit of sea. "I didn't mean to wake you up. I apologise for that. What name do you know the land by?" she asked after her apology. They had to put this right but didn't have enough information to do just yet. There was the physical evidence of the wooden ship and she knew pirates had been on the isle during the golden age they had. "Xander, does he mean the whole island or this part of the sea floor?" she posed. That might well be important. Xander Dayspring

Disturb? Geez even the dead thought that they had a capture on everything as he listened. "We can help you," he said as he felt feeling in his arm again. "We are not here to disturb we were simply out for a day of adventure." They needed a warning sign out here to warn others obviously though he now realized as he took a second and spoke again. "Just tell us what you need." The 'bones' took a second to readjust themselves together and finally spoke. "It used to be my home, we called it simply Forlonged Cove." "Deep under the water there is a golden flute, if the two of you bring it to me I can go to peace." Alice Seraphim

Alice had a pretty good idea of the island map in her head by now but that name didn't ring any bells. It was the name they had for the place but not what it was officially called back in the days Spanish was the official language. Even with the passage of time and the isle becoming the melting pot it was now. "Xander, this Forlonged Cove might actually be here. Just submerged as the coast changed shape over the centuries" she said to him. The quest had been laid in front of them but unlike a video game or D&D adventure you only got one life to complete it. "I guess we're going deeper. How much air do we have left?" she asked Xander as she couldn't read her own tank. Xander Dayspring

Xander had to take a second and take a breath. He chose to turn to Alice at this time. "Okay, we will reup on the tanks and then we will go down. He is dead but he does not seem as angry which should be a good thing for us." It was so damn creepy though even he knew that. "If he tries anything then I can pull him away. It won't be pretty but it will keep us safe and that is the main thing in my mind right now." Alice Seraphim

Things were looking in their favour and others probally would never know about they had to do right now. She was starting to get used to the isle weirdness but this was still a creepy situation. She said the form "we will be back once we get more air". Xander reassured her as they changed tanks and got ready for a new dive. One that was deeper and looking for a flute which wouldn't look golden now. It might even be badly damaged with its time under the sea. "I hope we find this but who knows if its even intact down there? That's a wooden ship I landed on". "We'll need a bit of luck on this". Xander Dayspring

It was not the deep sea adventure that he had expected not because it was not fun before the undead but because it now seemed a little more dangerous and yet he went on. As he dived deeper in and he waited on Alice to do the same he looked around and down. The sooner they found what the undead being wanted the sooner they could go on with their day and one thing he could say was that it was never a dull moment between him and Alice when they went adventuring on.

Alice followed Xander down and when they reached the ship on the way down took the left side to allow them to cover more ground and then meet in the middle. Given the concerns she'd voiced it did seem reasonable that the flute had to be at least semi-intact for the form to be looking for it in the first place. So perhaps it was in a sea chest. Those had to be reasonably large so might be able to be found more easily. With the rocks, coral and sand that made up the seabed and not having a torch to see in the dark waters it might well take a while to find anything. She started looking around 400 metres away from the shipwreck and disturbing sand as she checked areas of sand and coral. She was figuring sand could also have partially buried a chest over centuries and this wasn't going to be easy. Xander Dayspring

Xander took a second as they got deeper to make sure that he held his balance even under water that was important as he spotted a few things but nothing that seemed like it would settle the 'zombie' off of what he wanted at the moment. He dove a little deeper until he spotted something that was a little shiny. "I think we are close to it," he muffled to Alice. Alice Seraphim

Alice heard Xander's alert and given they'd already checked a bit of the sea bed they'd kept looking knowing the air in the tanks wasn't infinite. She swam to where Xander was and even in the dimness could see a glitter in the sand. "Could this be it?" she posed bubbles coming from her mask. She was expecting to find a chest but perhaps there wasn't one to begin with. Xander Dayspring

It felt weird but Xander was sure that was him being under the water a little too long as he dove deeper and moved the sands. It shined brightly looking a bit like an emblem as he held onto it because he did not trust it not to be cursed in all truth. Even as he held it to his chest he felt a pain as he went a little deeper and moved more sand. "Here is the chest," he said. "Let's grab it and see if we can pull it up as well." Alice Seraphim
