Maeve fell into his arms.She had not been sure he would ever find her.
Sinbad held maeve. For the first time in a long time he felt comlete. Maeve rested her head on his chest.
After a few moments Maeve pulled away from him. Sinbad looked at her funny. "Whats the matter? You don't seem to glad to see me."
Maeve laughed. "Should I be. I was tossed over board you ship. I'm lucky to be alive. It's going to take more than a few weeks for me to forget that."
Sinbad raised an eyebrow. "A few weeks?" He asked. "You call this a few weeks?"
"She dosen't know Sinbad." A voice said. Sinbad turned arownd to see the old woman.
"Doesn't know what?" Maeve asked. The old woman took a deep breath. "My dear when you woke up you were so upset we didn't want to trobble you more so we let you belive that only days had passed. As you recovered and grew more sure of things we didn't have the heart to tell you the truth."
Maeve felt numb. "What truth? How long was here before I awoke?"
Sinbad grasped Maeve's hand. "Maeve its been two years since you fell overboard."
Maeve's body couldn't take anymore she fainted.
Back at the house Kelth The old womans husband had made Rongar, Doubar, Dermott and Firouz at home.
"My wife has gone to find your captain and Maeve they will return shortly. Untill then let us eat, I will have my girls bring us something."
"Oh, you have daughters?" Firouz asked. "No." Kelth answered. "This is a sort of boarding house for unmarried women who are in a..um..delicate condition."
"They girls stay here at night and work in the day time. It is very hard to find work because in our land any woman...like them is maymed and called a slut."
Doubar nodded. "It the same where we come from."
A few moments later two girls with trays came into the room. Firouz looked up to thank the woman and began to choke on his words."
The others came to his aid in seconds. "Firouz what is it?" Catching his breath he pointed at the woman.
Doubar pailed at the woman before him. She must have been about 8 months in. She had scars and cuts across her face and arms.
"There is no need to stare at her apperance." Kelth snapped "This is..."
"I know." Doubar cut him off "Bryn."
