Hudal’s scream’s ceased as she watched Chappu jump back into the water for Badar. Her heart sinking into her stomach as she watched Chappu sink from her sight. No tears only the tight grip of BitterSweet kept Hudal focused.<span style="font-style: italic">”They’ll both return, they’ll both return”</span>she chanted in her. Her breath slow and even as she watched the surface of the water.<span style="font-style: italic">”Please please please”</span>she begged her lip betraying her as it quivered. Tali was starting to come around his eyes taking in the damage, shock started to creep into his features as he noticed the person missing. His mouth rigid till a break in the surface of the water caught both of our attention’s.<br/><br/><br/>It was sadly only Chappu who broke the surface of the water. Tali and Hudal looked out at the water there eye’s lingering at it’s waves. The now silent ocean, only moment’s ago they had been in the heat of battle with Sin. Only now no cry from Sin could be heard only the echoes of cries for those who had been below deck still in a panic. But Hudal could not make herself move as she watched Chappu climb back aboard, clearly exhausted. Still she remained in her spot her blue eyes watching him, unable to ask, unable to speak. His whisper of a voice made her heart want to break, his hand held out. The crystal necklace that always hung around Badar’s neck, now hung in Chappu’s hand.<br/><br/><br/>Hudal could hear the shame and anguish in Chappu, Tali sat in shock. His mouth opened like a gaping  fish, his mind blank as he watched the two. His face becoming rigid and red with anger as he started to comprehend Chappu’s words. Badar was gone, swallowed by Sin. Hudal rose to her feet finally, her features blank and unwavering. Her hand clasping around Chappu’s, giving him some comfort while taking the last remnants of her eldest brother. With the necklace in her hand now, Hudal laid a gentle hand on Chappu’s head. “You did what you could, we all did Chappu. Badar would be thankful” she said even as her heart cried. Tali was not as a calm as his younger sibling, the anger apparent on his face the blue etching an intense blue.<br/><br/><br/>“This is your fault Hudal, and the boy’s. Had you not gone out into the world, Badar our brother would still be here!” he yelled a fist slamming into the deck. Hudal took the verbal lashing from her<span style="font-style: italic">eldest</span>brother in silence. But what brought surprise to Tali’s face was his sister’s next remark. “Yes Badar is gone, but it will not be in vain. I will carry on Badar’s will, as he would have me do. If you can no longer be at my side Tali, then do so when we arrive on Kilika Island” Her blue gaze determined and unwavering. Tali’s face became distorted in anger and sadness. Without a response to Hudal he left leaving Chappu and Hudal alone. Hudal’s gave dropped looking back down at Chappu, his hair still drenched in water. Her hand feeling the cold tendril’s slip through her finger’s. “Thank you for bringing me the last piece of him” she said a lone tear cascaded down her cheek landing on Chappu.
