Devina smiled slightly, and slipped back into the cabin, pulling the door to. She walked over to a chest, opend it, and pulled out a key. It was large, and seemed to be out of bone. She slipped it into her shirt, and adjusted the maps. "God help me, if I get through this alive..." she muttered.

(OH!! Sorry, I missed your post...)

Minara laughs. "D'you seriously think we're gonna go after them when I have a treasure worth so much more?...." She shakes her head and takes a drink from a bottle of dark red liquid that she pulled from beneath her desk. She then sets the bottle down on the desk and wipes her lips. "I'd offer you some, but I doubt it'd agree with you...." Minara smirks wickedly and pulls an old scroll from a hidden drawer in her desk.

Chris got the men in a line and began instructing them, he made some sarcastic comments at them, which mostly made them laugh and got them all to work so that the ship could work properly. The most violent encounter was between Chris and a fighter of the group, every group had one to start the fights. The man had began to argue about some rope and seemed to want to express something what the hole crew thought.

"Who the hell does he think he is?"

Chris kicked the man in the knee and sweeped him down quickly to place his rapier on the mans throat, soon it was over and the man was working according to Chris`s instructions. Chris took his hat off as he walked to Devina`s cabin without permission.

"The ship is ready to go...."

Chris declared.

Devina jumped, and turned around "Good. I hope we *do* reach there at dawn." She reached for a water bottle and swigged from it profusely "What do you know about my father Chris? And about Jack?"

Chris scrathed his head as he muttered something.

"What do I know? To be honest, not much since I am just an ordinary pirate looking for enough money to get a hole crew and a nice ship, bu all I know that theyr famous pirates.. or sparrow is somewhat... whenever you team up or against sparrow it means trouble for all, the endng might depend of sheer luck or fate.."

Chris stood silent for a minute.

"How come you ask me?"

"Interesses. You heard of Barbossa? He was a froiend of me dads. Not very nice chap. I belive that Jack and Davey had some sort of aggreament, when they took whatever. And I know, that Jack didnt hold to that." Devina chuckled, and looked over the maps again.

"Barbossa? Ain`t he sleeping with the fishes? Yeah I heard of him..."

Chris looked at the maps.

"You seem to be taking care of the navigation or what since we are going to need maps to reach that island..."

"Hmm..Yes. I do not under any costs want to get lost on the way. It would delay us to no end. You should take a look."

Chris came closer and looked at the maps.

"hmh... well... let`s get this ship on the way and try to beat jacky boy since he might think what you are up to, but the funny thing is will he get anywhere along that crazy captain of the ship?"

Chris smiled and took the map in his hand.

"Let`s get the sails up and going, only hoping that the winds favour us, but if they don`t favour us neither they will favour jack..."

Chris walked out on the deck and had the ship ready to leave towards the island, the crew mainly seemed to know what they were doing and Chris had to only interfere in minor occasions. Soon the sails were up and they were off.

Devina leaned into a large hammoc, and closed her eyes. It wasnt long before she drifted into an uneasy sleep, only to be awoken now and then by Chris shouting at her crew. She'd know when dawn was breaking. She'd know...

"Get the sail tighter, but not too much!"

Chris shouted at the crew with his right hand behind his back like some great leader, he had to admit that he loved being in charge, but didn`t like his orders being questioned nor mistakes, but was being merciful since the crew was new to him. The ship was going on a decent speed towards their destination, they were on the open sea with no others ship in the horizon.

Chris took a second away from command and walked to Devina.

"I expect that you are happy with my work and the best part is that jacky boy isn`t in sight..."

Minara sighs. "Jack, you do not understand... Simple treasure is all well and good... And unsimple treasure is better.... But, then again, they do say that the simplest way is the best way...." She shrugs. "Look, Jack, I never said I was onto just treasure...." Minara unrolls the scroll and holds it up in the light for him to see. The paper is old and brown, stained and wrinkled, and covered in odd script. "This is the map to the lost island of Atlantis.... And if we find it, we will be the most famous, richest, and powerful people on the planet...." Minara's eyes glitter eerily in the light of the candle flame as she finishes with a laugh. "So, what d'you say?.... This is more than simple treasure, I grant you...."
