<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b3/Alyssa.jpg)</div><strong>Alyssa</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=91076)<br/><hr/>Alyssa had waited for everyone else to leave the ship before she followed.  She didn't want to show any weakness to the others or her men so she waited until she could walk without much noticeable trouble even if it hurt like hell to do so.  When she got up to the deck she told her men to set the boat ablaze.  It would take too much time to tow it.<br/><br/>During the several days they were sailing to Ledon, she felt similar to the way Al'Rhayel felt.  She wanted to avoid everyone.  But she was captain and so she couldn't stay down in her room like Al'Rhayel was doing, like she wanted to do.  Instead she avoided people, taking a step back whenever anyone got to close and being short and curt with her answers and orders whenever she had to interact with anyone rarely looking them in the eyes when she didn't have to.  She waited until she was in her room to finally break down and cry herself to sleep despite being woken up throughout the night from nightmares.<br/><br/>So when the lookout called that they were approaching the island, she nodded and just said "Yeah."  Then she added as an afterthought "Take Thalya and Norton with you."  Alyssa then went down stairs and knocked on Al'Rhayel's door.  "Al'Rhayel, it's Alyssa.  We've approached the island.  I'm sending the others ahead.  Can I come in?"
