One week after the Great Migration started 'old timing' people started showing nervousness and behaving weirdly.

They knew that only one week was left of the great migration, and they also understood that they didn't actually move that far in those 07 days, so feeling of panic and regret started attacking them.

Some people just couldn't sleep or eat at all, others would spend their whole days inside their rooms, not willing to come out.

All of that happened, and as Dan saw it he knew that he couldn't change anything, he just tried to motivate them by telling them about what was waiting for them when they would finally run from that world and the dragons,

His words did help but just a little as what he said could only happen if they survived and left that Area, which was starting to appear like an unrealistic dream, because of their speed and the terror known as dragons.

This kept on going on till the fifteenth day of them entering the waters 'almost the 6th by the new timing', which was also the fifteenth day of the great migration, and the day that the dragons were supposed to return.

In that day no one in the ships was able to sleep, Barbarossa was never that full of activities.

There were people looking at the horizon keeping an eye at any and everything, people inside their rooms prying and asking for a miracle to happen, and people with red eyes from crying and worry.

That day was the longest day in their lives, but like any other day it passed, it passed without anything happening, no dragons appeared, the ship didn't catch fire, nothing at all.

When that happened people released breaths of relief but were still afraid, they still couldn't throw the thought of a dragon suddenly appearing above them and burning everyone on top of the ship, as surviving a day didn't mean that they really survived and were out of danger.

So the next five days were also like that, full of fear and expectation, but also as the days kept on passing with no dragons appearing to burn them to death, people started smiling more and more, and they forgot about the dragons a little bit more after each passing day, till when the seventh day finally passed, Dan said in the dining room:

"Everyone it seemed that good luck is on our side, it has been seven days after the end of the Great Migration yet no dragon followed us, I think that our chance of survival are more than ever."

His little speech lifted the spirits of everyone there and gave them hope, hope of a life without dragons a life without hiding and living underground, a life they never dared to dream about...

And just like that days passed till the twentieth day after the Great Migration 'old timing, and the eighth day of the new.'

Dan was standing on the top of Barbarossa feeling the ocean's breeze on his face.

He wasn't the only one there, all the other six were there, they were all standing there enjoying the sun as it was the first day they had it in a while.

They were all there having fun and all when suddenly, Dan swayed from one side to another, it was as if he was going to fall down, but fortunately Nero who was standing next to him managed to catch him up.

"What's wrong?" Nero asked, while the others also moved toward him making sure that he was alright.

They all thought that it might be a problem from the crystal and that they had to deal with it fast, but Dan just smiled and said while trying to stand up straight:

"Thank you Nero for catching me and sorry for making you all worry but I'm alrig... Ahhh!"

Just as they all relaxed because of his words and behavior, Dan held his head and fall down to his knees screaming, giving them quite the fright.

Nero who had just released him caught him again, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask from the other five to help, two other screams came from the hold of the ship, taking everyone there by surprise.

"Robin, go take a look at what's happening, we will deal with Dan." Randy said in a calm voice.

Robin nodded his head and teleported to where he thought the scream was coming from...

Dan just held his head between his hands and kept on screaming, the pain that he was feeling was one of the worst things he had ever felt in his whole life, it felt as if his head was splitting, as if it was being filled with many things, and after holding on for a few seconds more he finally fall down unconscious as he finally couldn't take it.

Actually even though those two screams sounded after Dan they stopped screaming sooner them him, it seemed that they too lost consciousness.

"Kathrine, take a look at him and see how he is." Randy said.

"Ok." Kathrine nodded her head before starting to check Dan, soon after she lifted her head and said:

"There's nothing wrong with him, that's what I can see at the very least, I think that he lost consciousness because of pain, except that there's nothing else wrong."

The others looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Let us take him to his room first, whatever happened to him leaving him here isn't good for sure." Anie said after a while of silence.

Nero and the others then lifted Dan and took him to his room, after finally putting him down in his bed, Nero asked:

"What do you think it is this time?"

He thought that it was because of the crystal, but those two screams from inside the ship probably reacted that way because of the same reason as Dan, so he threw that idea from his mind as Dan was the only one who had a relation with the crystal and there was three people with the same symptoms.

"I don't know let us wait for Robin to return and tell us about what happened with the other two." Randy shook his head as he said that

.

They had to, at the very least, see if they could hear something new from Robin, seen by the people who were next to the people who screamed.

Just as he finished his words Robin appeared inside the room, seeing Dan lying there he sighed and said:

"So he fall unconscious too."

"Do you mean that the other two also fall unconscious?" Nero asked, they all expected that but hearing it from Robin was better.

"Yeah they did, I just sent them to their rooms before coming here." Robin nodded.

"Then can you tell me about what happened to them, what he people around them saw?" Randy asked.

"From what I heard what happened to them was the same as what happened to Dan, they were all just doing their things before suddenly swaying a little, the ones who were with them said that, they got up as if nothing happened after sawing, just like what happened with Dan, but then they too fall on their knees screaming while holding their heads before finally falling unconscious, the exact same as Dan I presume?" Robin first explained what happened with the two before asking about that.

"Yeah Dan also fall unconscious after holding on for a while." Nero nodded.

"So what do you think happened to them?"

No one was able to answer Robin's question as they had no idea at all, finally Katherine sighed and said:

"We can only want for them to wake up."

Fortunately they didn't have to wait for long as Dan woke up soon after.

The first thing he saw was the faces of everyone looking at him, and as he did, he first thought that passed by his mind was:

'this seems familiar.'

But then he forgot that as another thing caught his interest and as it did he started smiling.

Seeing Dan wake up, act somehow confused at first before starting to smile happily like an idiot, they all looked at each other before Nero finally said while scratching his head:

"He didn't damage his brain, did he?" As he finished his words he saw that all of them were looking at him speechlessly, even Dan stopped smiling and looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Don't worry everyone I'm still good, and I still have my sanity, thanks for asking Nero." Dan said while shaking his head.

"Then can you tell us what happened to you?" Anie asked.

"Yeah, you should know that another two people fall unconscious at almost the same time as you, whatever happened to them happened to you too, right?" Leonard added.

"Yeah it is just as you said they probably lost consciousness because of the same reason, Robin my I trouble you to go and take a look and see if they had woke up yet?" Dan first appeared surprised over the fact that some other people also lost consciousness, but then he smiled and asked from Robin to take a look at them.

Robin nodded and disappeared from his place just to appear there around two minutes later.

"They just woke up." he said.

"Good." saying that Dan stood up and asked:

"How long was I unconscious?"

"Not that long just a little more than an hour." Robin answered.

"So it's almost lunch right?" Dan asked.

"Yes it is, actually we were almost going for lunch before you woke up." Nero said.

"Ok then, let's go I'll tell you everything after we make it there, everyone needs to hear this." Dan said while smiling.

The others didn't say anything they all followed him to the dining room, but they still looked at each other in confusion, as they all were able to notice that he was way too happy after waking up, as if him losing consciousness and suffering that pain was a good thing.

When Dan entered the room, everyone there looked at him; they were all interested in what happened to him and the other two who suddenly lost consciousness without any reason at all.

Seeing how he was the center of attention, Dan murmured to himself:

"This really is familiar..."

After they set Barry old Frank, Robert, and some other people who had a close relationship to Dan and his group come to see how he was doing, after all him falling unconscious on the top of the ship was something everyone knew about.

Dan just told them that he was alright and that nothing was wrong, before sending them away.

They then set and waited till everyone was there, even the two people who lost consciousness just like Dan were there, as he asked for them to come, and then Dan stood up clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, may I have your attention please."

He only needed to say that once, and the room fall down to silence.

Dan nodded his head and added:

"I'm sure that I'll of you had heard about how I lost consciousness earlier today, and not just me, as the same thing also happened to another two of our friends, and I also know that some of you are wandering about the reason of that, some of you might even be afraid, thinking that that would also happened to them or their loved ones, and here I will tell you that you shouldn't be afraid of what happened, instead you should all be happy."

When Dan finished his words everyone there showed weird expressions as they looked at each other, they simply didn't understand the reason behind him saying that.

Even the other six who were setting next to him showed weird expressions, before Nero whispered:

"Are you sure that there's nothing wrong with his head..." the others didn't react to his joke as they were waiting for Dan to finish his words.
