[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Swift_Assassin]

Lennox heard the rattle of the ship and went above deck where Tiras was looking around. The cries of the crew just validated his concerns with boats. Lennox sighed, relented to their fate, and sat with a view of the sea. "Not how I expected to go, but not altogether unpleasant. Nice view at least." He felt a tug on his back as one of the crew members yanked Dyrnwyn off his back. Lennox grabbed his other sword and pointed at the sailor who grabbed it. He looked panicked, perhaps he thought he could get out of this alive and sell the sword on the mainland. But, that's not how this song and dance goes. Or does it?

The man grabbed the handle of the sword which engulfed itself in flames, burning the cloth wrapping Lennox had it in off. The fire stopped before the sailors hands. Lennox looked at him wide-eyed. Dyrnwyn found this man worthy to use it. "Shit." This wasn't good. The emperor wanted this sword for his collection, and if this man can hold the sword, he can personally sell this sword to the emperor.

That concern died as one of the other sailors stabbed the guy through the back, causing him to drop the sword, before tossing the body overboard. He grabbed the sword afterwards and the flames began encroaching on his arms, like so many others. Lennox approached the man, slipping his side sword between the mans arm and side and sliced upwards, taking the arm off. As the man screamed in pain, Lennox held him in place with one hand and proceeded to do the same to the other arm, before tossing that man overboard. He sheathed his sword and disposed of the two arms holding Dyrnwyn before they burned too much.

"That's a more merciful fate, believe me," Lennox said, over looking the struggling armless sailor, struggling to stay afloat. Lennox looked at the body floating next to him, the man Dyrnwyn found worthy. He was the first person he'd seen not tied to him by blood to be accepted by the sword. At least that's a possibility. Poor guy never even had a chance to swing the sword before it's curse found him.

Having shaken off the urge to just let the sea consume him and Dyrnwyn, Lennox directed his focus towards someone else. A certain dragon girl. "Raye! Where are you?! You better not have used the...the thing!" It's hard to allude to her dragonstone without giving away the big secret.
