It's been about six days since the incident on the ship, we been training a lot along with helping Vulcan fly. Judar has grown a pretty good bond with Vulcan, now that he's helping him with flying lessons. We were up on deck practice our fighting skills.

"Why do I keep losing!" I said with a frustrated yell from Alibaba beating me at sword fighting. The first time fighting with him was so easy and now I can't even get anywhere near him.

"I don't know, why do you keep losing." Alibaba said in a mocking tone. I turned to him glaring daggers while he had a stupid grin on his face.

"Don't start with me or I'll kick your ass." I said getting pissed. I ready myself with my sword in front of me, while Alibaba was in his stance. I launched forward toward his torso, but he quickly dodged. I swung at his legs making him jump as I kicked upwards. He blocked with his arm and quickly grabs my leg.

"Wrong move." he said holding my leg. I just smiled and twisted myself swinging my other leg at his head. It caught him off guard as he let go of my leg as I landed on my feet and charged forward again. The metal clashed inbetween us as we stood face to face pushing the blades against each other. I felt something up with my arms as I looked down to see my hands covered in armor. I grinned as I twisted my sword around his dagger, making it go into the air and land into my hand, holding both of them up to his neck. He was quite surprised by the sudden change of pace. His eyes grow huge as the were filled with fear. I was confused a relaxed the blades.

"What's wrong?" I asked putting the weapons to my sides in my hands. The rest noticed the tense atmosphere around us and came over. They stared at me in shock.

"Seriously, what the heck is the matter?" I asked getting a little irritated.

"Ashlin, your eyes, their sliver." Isabelle said putting her hands on my cheeks looking into my eyes.

"Their silver, how's that possible?" I asked really confused. Aladdin walked up and tugged on my arms. I looked at him as I knelt down to his level.

"What?" I asked getting more and more confused by the minute.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, it's because she's using some of her Djinn's power that her eyes are like that." he said.

"Hey if your doing that, then that means you cheated." Alibaba said taking his dagger back from me.

"In real sword fights, so people play fair?" I asked him like its the stupidest thing ever. He thought for a mintue before giving up.

"That's what I thought." I said turning my sword back to my braclet. I could feel my eyes turn back to normal. I looked at my braclet before remembering something.

"Oh, I completely forgot about that, Alibaba stay right here, I'll be right back." I said before running off to my room to grab the necklace I bought him from before.

*Alibaba's pov*

"What was that about?" I questioned myself in my mind. I watched her run off, down to the rooms. I saw Quinn with a creepy smirk on her face as she looked at me. I shuddered from her creepiness.

"I don't see what Hakuryuu see's in her." I thought to myself as I sweat dropped. She soon came back with a large grin on her face. She took my hand and held in in front of me placing something in the palm of my hand. She roled my hand up so I couldn't see it right away. I opened my hand up to see a necklace with a really detailed sword charm on it.

"It's a thank you present for the braclet you got me." she said giving me a sweet smile. She looked so adorable right now making me blush a slight pink.

"Isn't that cute, what's next, you going to kiss him." Judar said in a teasing tone and soon started to laugh his head off. Ashlin leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"Watch this, it going to be funny." she whispered looking at Judar and giggled. I smirked because I knew just what she was going to do. She walked over to him as he looked at her confused.

"I need to tell you something." she said making him lean his ear in to listen. At that moment she planted a kiss on his cheek making him stiffen in shock. Everyone's mouth dropped by the sudden kiss on his cheek. His face turned bright red as he looked at her with a deadly glare. He grabbed her by the collar of her dress making her a little surprised.

"What the hell are you doing." he yelled at her as she just smiled innocently.

"That's what you get for teasing me, now your face his red, and I must say you look adorable with a red face." She said pinching his cheek. Everyone started to laughed as he dropped her and stomped off with a super mega red face now. She walked back to as I have her a fist bump.

"I'm never doing that again, I think I might go wash my whole face now." she giggled as the rest were still laughing. I chuckled at her, but felt sad that he got kissed by her instead of me. I slipped the necklace around my wrist making it a braclet.

"There, now we both have braclets." I said holding up my hand showing her the necklace around my wrist. She smiled happily, then looked at me with a small sweet smile. She placed her hand on my head and rubbed it like I'm some kind of pet.

"I'm glad you like it." she said taking her hand back and watched the other train. I could still feel the warmth from her hand on my head still there. I like it a lot, it feels nice, it's because I love her that's why. My feeling for her have grow even more now, it's no longer a silly crush. I smiled to myself as I saw Vulcan not to far away, sitting on the railing.

"What is he doing?" I asked as Ashlin looked at Vulcan. He soon stood up and leaped of the railing going down to sea.

"Vulcan!" Ashlin yelled running over to the railing and looking down. I ran up next to her until she fell back and I caught her. She stared at the sky as I looked up as well.

*back to Ashlin*

"Look master, I'm flying, I'm flying!" Vulcan cheered as he flew in circles above the ship. He started to fly upwards in to the dark clouds, disappearing from sight.

"Where did he go?" I asked hoping he didn't leave us behind. Soon I see lightning flashing in the clouds and large booms making everyone on board covered their ears.

"What's going on?" I heard Alibaba ask just as confused as I am. We soon hear a large roar from above as a large red dragon come down from the clouds. It glided across the water, right towards the boat. My eyes widen as everything went in slow motion as it large talons gentle grabbed me, picking me up from the boat, and soon flying off not to far and circled the boat.

"Ahhhhhhhhh, put me down!" I yelled hitting it in the hand with my fist.

"Sorry master, I didn't mean to scare you." it said making me stop in mid hit.

"Vulcan, is that you?" I asked shocked by the sudden change in form.He turned his head and smiled. His voice is a little deeper now, but not to deep that it would send a small child running in fear.

"I'm glad you reginized me." he said lifting his me up to his shoulder as I climbed up onto his back.

"How did you get so big?" I asked as I held onto him tightly not wanting to fall off.

"I told you, once I learned how to fly, I would become big, it's one of the stages in a dragons life." he said happily going down into a dive. I screamed in fear that I would fall off as he quickly moved back up just gliding above the water. I looked down to see my reflection in the water. I was shaking really bad.

"Don't do that again, you almost scared me to death." I scolded him making him chuckle.

"Are you scares of heights?" he asked mockingly.

"Yes, I am, so don't do that." I said hugging him around his neck.

"Ok, I promise I won't." he said flying back to the boat. He landed on the deck to be greeted by spears.

"Wait, calm down, it's just Vulcan." I said as everyone dropped their spears in relief. He layed down as I hopped, off my legs a little shaky groom flying so high.

"Are you ok, I don't mean to scare you so bad." He said looking at me with concern and guilt.

"It's ok, just a little shaken up." I said walking to him and hugging him around his neck again. He moved his head closer hugging me back. I let go and turned to the dumbfound group of friends. Judar had a smile of happiness on his face, more likely proud that he was the one who mainly taught him how to fly.

"Is that really Vulcan?" Aladdin asked walking up to me and grabbed my slightly shaking hand. I nodded as he smiled happily at him. He let go of my hand and say down in front of Vulcan. He started to ask questions on what it's like to fly and Vulcan didn't mind answering them. I was still slightly shaking, because of my small fear of heights. Someone wrapped their arms around my shoulders and hugged me. I looked up to see Jack smiling at me happily.

"Wow, he did scare you pretty good didn't he." He said as he let go. Just remembering him diving down like that just scares me. He looked at me with a straight face before picking me up onto his shoulder.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I asked trying to get down, but he won't let me.

"Well your like a younger sister to me now, so I want you to stop shaking and relax." He said walking to the others. I huffed as I let him carry me as I sat on his shoulder. I realized I stopped shaking and smiled. He put me down and smiled.

"There, now my new little sis isn't scared anymore." He said rubbing my head. I remembered when my brother use to do that as I felt tears threatening to come. He noticed how quiet I was and looked at me.

"Hey, why you crying for?" He asked taking his hand away thinking he did something wrong.

"Way to go, you made her cry." Hakuryuu said hitting the back of his head. Jack rubbed the back of his head and apologized to me.

"You don't need to apologize, it just my brother use to do that to me when I was scared or upset, so it just brought back some good memories." I said wiping the tears away and smiled.

"I promise that I will be your big brother know and will take care of you." He said rubbing my head again. I giggled like a little kid, smiling cutely at him. He smiled as he took is hand back.

"Land hoo." One of the crew members yelled as I ran to the railing looking at the large shore line of my homeland. I cold breeze blew threw making me shiver. I felt something behind me as I turned to see Vulcan snuggling up against me.

"I don't want you getting sick." He said as I leaned against his body excepting his warmth. The other girls came up next to me and we all huddled together.

"He's so warm." Quinn said with a relaxing sigh.

"Why does the dragon get Ashlin instead of me." I heard Alibaba mumble, but the thing is he was all the way on the other side of the boat.

"If you hear talking from a far distance, it because of the mark on your hand, I gave it to you so you can use some of the same abilities as me." Vulcan said turning his head to face me.

"What kind of abilities?" I asked as the girls listened in. He chuckled and looked back at the land.

"You will know when the time comes for you to learn." He said calmly. I didn't want to argue with him so I just nodded as I stared at my homeland that was so close from reaching and knowing who I truly I'm.

"I finally get to see my homeland, and the place where my grandfather and grandmother ruled a kingdom, but what about Mabel, I have no clue where she is or where to look." I thought as I frowned a little.

"What's the matter, Ashlin?" Morgianna asked confused.

"Sorry, I'm just excited and worried that's all." I said giving her a reassuring smile. She nodded as we watched the land come closer and closer.

*Else Where on the Land*
