Time long gone... but not forgotten

[Tursac Fescarn]

The weather was prime for sailing, the sun shone brightly in the sky, but it was a cold sun that shown down in the winter, though it was much warmer in the Mediterranean than most of his other trip from around the horn of Africa.  But it was a trip he needed to take, while he knew that Amore was alive and stuck in the states, it didn't leave much room for hope that he would see her any time soon.  He had been busy learning of the new ways of the world and trying to adapt to its ways.  In the time that he had been here he had managed to find friends from a more memorable time and gained a new job with Akusai working with the Yakuza and manning the shrimp boats.  But his heart was pining for more familiar land and so he set out, after leaving notice with the boss, for the European shores.  Mainly he made his way to Italy and Greece, deciding they would be the best place to relive his memories. 

Siren's Song pulls into port in a small town along the Italian coastline and steps out dressed in his sailor gear on and polished leather boots.  He looks around at the town and smiles a bit as it seemed more to what he was familiar with on looks though he could see modern marvels there as well.  "Ah, can't escape it all I guess"  he mutters and makes his way to find a room at one of the inns that were along the docks.  Once settled in he sets out for a stroll through the streets, not really directing himself to any one direction, just letting his feet wander.

Amore felt much pain and got some time off to try and handle what needed to be handled. She wasn't sure what that meant, but here she was in Italy where her life started. She sits out on the beach her feet in the water. Amore lays down in the sand she could feel the water rising but her being a siren she didn't have to worry about drowning. Some boys walking back toward their hotel were talking about the pretty girl singing sailor songs out on the sand. Tears fall down her face, her heart felt like it was breaking. "Tursac..." she mutters.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac walked along, heading for the beach. He saw some people coming back from that direction that seemed to be talking about some beautiful woman and singing songs. The songs of choice were compelling enough to see just who was out there on the beach and so set out to investigate. As he walked along he could see a form laying in the sand, the water washing up over her. He stood there in silence, just watching, thinking how it would be like Amore to immerse herself in the water as this woman was.

After a few minutes he continues on down to see if he could hear her songs that he had heard the others mention they had heard but didn't want to make the woman think he was stalking her. When he felt he was close enough he sits down in the sand, running his fingers through it's soft texture. "Wish I 'ad my wife ta sing me songs again..." he says softly

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore keeps singing, this time turning to her favorite song, 'Turn Lose the Mermaids.' Halfway through it though she broke down crying. She sits up holding her legs close to her chest. She simply cries into her knees. Normally the ocean water made her feel better but this did nothing for her. The pain in her chest was too great. "Tursac..." she mutters again. The 16 year old girl would be considered much too young to be in love in this day and age, but from the time she was from it was fine. Amore looks out at the water still crying, "Please Poseidon, I need him... my heart... I can't breath... just... let me know if he is alive. Please." She felt weak. Tired. She hadn't been sleeping or eating, so she looks weak and tired.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac sat there listening, and then, as she started singing the all too familiar song, he felt sudden haunting chills all over him. "Torture... that's what that is..." but as she started to cry he gets up and moves closer. It was then he heard her plight, choked on tears, about returning someone to her, and it tore at his own soul. Further examination showed a malnourished frame who seemed on the brink of self destruction. "Excuse me ma'am, is everythin' alright 'ere? Ya seem pretty distressed"

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore looks up at Tursac, she reached out to touch him and the moment her fingers meet his face slewing her that he is real she faints. Tears still falling down her face.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac was just as surprised as he found that it was Amore that stood there before him and stood there in stunned silence as she reached out to touch him and only reacted as she fainted, quickly reaching out to grab her and hold her in his arms and kissing her cheeks, tears welling up in his own eyes as joy flooded him through and through. He had found Amore at last and didn't have to risk traveling over to dangerous territory to search. He picks her up and starts making his way back to the little inn, taking care not to trip over anything.

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore wakes up crying for Tursac only an hour later. The poor girl is starved, sleep deprived, and looks like she hadn't been feeding and the energy her songs make. Tears fall down her face, "I am dead?" She asks.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac sat by the bedside and watched her anxiously. She looked terrible and it worried him that it might be too late to do anything for her. He takes her hand and holds it softly "Nae love." he kisses her hand softly "But yeh look like yer knockin' on death's door" he moves around so she could see him better and wipes the tears away "Would yeh like me ta get you somethin' ta eat?" and gives her hand a squeeze with his other hand

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore holds onto him not wanting to let him go afraid he might vanish, "Food?" She has to think for a moment. "Food sounds... amazing. " She says kissing him gently.

[Tursac Fescarn]

He returns her kiss with soft tenderness and smiles at her "You'll have ta let me go first" he jokes with a smile "So I can call room service" he pulls her up into his embrace just the same and kisses her all over "Gods I've missed ya. If I didn' know you were alive... I'd ne'er thought life worth livin. But I knew I had ta stay strong fer ya"

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore groans and kisses him back not wanting to let him go. She plays with his hair, "A man told me you were alive, but... I was afraid to believe him. I love you so much and wanted it to be true so badly." She starts to cry, her malnourished form shaking in his arms.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac gently strokes her hair and just holds her there next to him until she finally calms down "I know. I know. I'm sorry I didn' try sooner but I've 'eard about the problems in that part 'f the world when it comes ta humans. I'm just glad ya made it out alright" he rests his head against hers for a few minutes before letting go and walking over to the little service phone and dials up room service "Yes, I'd like ta bring up some bowls of chicken soup, a couple turkey sandwiches and some strawberry cheesecake if ya please. Room four. Thanks" he hands up and moves to take his spot next to Amore once more, sighing as even those few minutes felt like agony just being a few feet apart. "Ya look like skin an' bones"

[Amore DelaVita]

Amore looks down at herself, "I haven't been able to sleep or eat. I keep getting attacked. Apparently Sirens are wanted in the slave trade." She curls up as close as she can get to him. "Don't leave me... at least not for a while." Amore had always been very independent, but now she needed someone.

[Tursac Fescarn]

Tursac nods softly as he holds her close. He would stay there until there was a knock on the door and he gets up to answer it. Thanking the man and giving him a tip in some of the currency he had he brings the tray of food over to where she was and sets it down on the table and offers her one of the sandwiches and takes one for himself "Well let's try ta get you off death's door a bit"
