Age: 19
Physical Description: Tiny and lithe, Ti'el is as spritely as the desert fox that she resembles. Two brown, tall ears sit atop her head in a nest of messy blonde hair. Spots of dark melanin decorate her face, stretching from the inside of her eyes down the bridge of her nose. They also freckle the back of her neck, her arms, and her stomach.
Though her body is predominantly human, her feet do end in dainty paws. Stretching from her lower back is an incredibly fluffy, golden tail with a hazel stripe down the middle.
Her eyes are a dark, washed-out blue, making it difficult to tell whether her pupils are slit or round.

It was only Cealene's call that alerted the girl, bringing her to her senses just as the ship made a dive. Ti'el turned around just in time to grab the woman's arm, but not before they were already sliding down the deck at a wicked angle.
The entire crew was screaming now as the ship hurried down the wave. They had all tied themselves to the rigging to keep themselves from falling overboard, but this was not the case for their passengers.
Two outcomes presented themselves: if Cealene were to catch the door after grabbing the vulx, she was going to have a massively difficult time hanging on, but if she didn't... both women would find themselves sliding all the way down the deck, perhaps even toward the water if the boat did not sit itself upright in time.

As Cealene launched herself, the ship crested the wave, giving everyone on board a moment of weightlessness as the nose tipped down, down towards the water, the hull creaking unhappily. She could feel a sickening lurch in her stomach as her feet began to slip, a rigboy flying past them downwards, it was almost as if time slowed.
As one hand latched around Ti'el, another reached out towards the door, the whinny of a horse heard from somewhere. As time resumed, shouts were heard, the rigboy was caught by his rope, and the hand got purchase in the door, stopping their slide.
Almost immediately, she could feel the strain of her arms, the girl in one, and the other keeping the both of them from a watery grave as the ship plummeted down the wave, down towards the water. 'Are we going to die?', Cealene found herself thinking as her muscles ached, the other part of ther mind scrabbling as frantically as her hands were holding on to find a way out of their predicament.

When the boat smashed down onto the trough of the wave, Ti'el could feel every ligament stretch starting from the tops of Cealene's fingertips and down, down, down toward her paws. The strain was unimaginably painful, and she wasn't even the one with the burden of another body clinging to her!
Desperation overwhelmed every sense of wonder that had distracted her, crept up and boiled into a panic in her chest until it became a scream. At that moment they smashed down onto the deck, the world planted itself onto their bodies, pushing Ti'el's face down into the floor.
The ocean reached its arms over the bow and slid across the wood, slapping onto their backs. The vulx hissed.
"Cealene!" she wept. "Are you well?!"
The crew fought tooth and nail to keep the ship together. A voice tore through the air saying that someone was missing, another calling about all the water on the boat. Feet stampeded all around them, and everything became so loud that Ti'el had to flatten her ears against her head as tightly as she could bear. There was salt in her eyes, burning them, even as she squinted and rubbed miserably.

As the Narwhale began to flatten out, the near weightless girls became heavy as lead. Cealenes muscles went from aching to blazing pain as she screamed out, cracking thunder drowning the sound.
For a moment, her vision went dark, and she could only feel pain, and the primal instinct to hold on.
Thud
When Cealene's senses returned, her whole body was pulsing along her heartbeat, Ti'els panicked voice calling out to her as the bow of the ship crashed through the next wave. A mist of ocean covered the whole slippery deck, though she could still see the door which they had exited through.
As she began to drag herself towards it, her hand still crampingly held on to the girl. "..we", she said, as the ship began to rise up once more, her breath empty.
"...need to get inside"

Catching her voice above the cries of the ocean and the sky, Ti'el squeezed Cealene's hand. She tried to get her claws dug into the wet wood so she could crawl forward, but her arms and legs were so heavy it felt like she the dunes of Arridia were crushing her.
As she closed her salted eyes, the vulx sucked in the biggest breath she could manage, pushed forward on her hands and knees, and began to push her friend to the door from her shoulders.
"... I no longer think we should have taken a peak," she grumbled as she grabbed onto the door. Her hand gripped onto Cealene's armpit as she pulled them safely inside and pushed the door shut.
The vulx pressed herself to the floor and drew her knees to her chest.
"I do not want to be on a boat anymore."

With her heart still pounding in her chest, vision blurry in the edges, the door slid shut behind them and gave a reassuring click as it latched.
Feeling the wood of the door safely between them and the raging sea, Cealene gave a small sigh of relief and put her arms around Ti'el as she rested herself against the door. "That was close", she said, "But we'll be allright, we're safe now.", she continued, reassuringly, even if she herself did not feel so sure. The words were as much a help to Ti'el as they were to Cealene.
She could feel tears welling up in her eyes as the tension released, with mortal danger pushed away. Cealene just felt so tired, as if she could fall asleep here in the doorway, holding her traveling companion in her arms, the sea crashing around the ship.
For a while, she was silent, just breathing in and out, eyes shut and arms around Ti'el.
"Maybe we should get to a cabin.", Cealene said, as the waves rocked them once more.

In the midst of her cowering, the vulx found comfort within Cealene's embrace. She lifted one arm and wrapped it around the woman's shoulder, bringing them closer together. If her eyes weren't still stinging from the saltwater, they would have strained wide from surprise. Days ago the two couldn't even think of comforting one another this way. So much had changed! "... would that be wise?" she asked, looking towards the door. Hearing the waves splash against it gave her all the answer she would need. Her ears pinned against her head as she leaned forward, trying to pull her friend along with her deeper into the ship, where the waves would not reach them. After crashing into their beds, a long and dark sleep awaited their exhausted, bruised bodies. __________________
A loud yell popped Ti’el’s ears upward. Her eyes cracked open through the crusted salt that glued her lashes shut. She felt it in her hair and on her skin, making her feel like a miserable sack of flesh buried in the sand. She ran a tongue along her arm and brought her lips above her teeth in horror at the taste that filled her mouth. With a groan, she rolled out of the cot and pushed herself onto her paws. Like the lights in the sky the night before, pain shot through her body, forcing her down into a sit with a yelp. Her forehead met her knees as she waited for Cealene to wake up, thinking the task unworthy until then.

Cealene nodded to Ti'el tiredly. "Yes, under deck, far from the raging sea outside.", When the vulx woman started leading her, she followed into the depths of the ship.
With the ship rocking and turning beneath them, it was a relief to be lying down for Cealene. On her tired face, a small smile rested, "Sleep safe, my friend..." she said, before drifting off to sleep, dreaming of the creatures beneath the waves that moved the sea.
---
Thunder cracked above the forest as rain poured down outside. "You *must* go!", her father exclaimed, the shouting of men and clanging of steel echoing in the courtyard. "I can't leave you!", she had told her father, pleading with him. Despite her struggling, he had placed her atop the horse. Before any more words could be spoken, Father had shouted out in pain, falling away from her, far far down, the distance growing endlessly as the ground, previously solid, fell away with him. She cried out, and her steed panicked.
---
Cealenes breathing was labored, and she was sweating when she opened her eyes. She turned her head, and saw Ti'el sitting on the floor.
She too was covered in the remnants of salt, her usually clean cloak crusted with white specks. After a few deep breaths, Cealene spoke, "How are you?", she asked.

Ti'el's ears swished back and forth as she gave Cealene a squinty-eyed smile. "Ready to leave the boat," she told her. The vulx stretched her legs out with a groan. "When is it that we get to land? What if we are here forever?"
On par with her whining, a gruff yell on deck drew her attention. Ti'el rose slowly on her feet, reaching a hand out to Cealene as she did, and guided them to the door. With a creak, it swung open, blinding them both momentarily to a sun burning in the clear sky above.
One of the sailors was leaning over the port with a spyglass in hand, pointing out to the horizon. There, as Ti'el rubbed her eyes and peered into the distance, did she see it.
"Land!" cried the sailor.

Cealene smiled to Ti'el, "Well, it seems the gods heard your prayer", and let herself be led into the light. For a moment, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air. "Ahh, that is nice"
After brushing some of the dried salt off from her clothes and disentangling her hair a little, she headed to the edge of the ship. With a smile, she noted, "That's our stop"
