Miracle and Cataria were walking the beaches of Alomomola bay with their child Anna, a vulpix. Anna was sick and they thought that taking her outside and the ocean air might make her feel better. Bed rest was not helping and Cataria was suspecting foul play now as when they were out of the lost outpost Anna got better and when she returned, her daughter got worse. Cataria was renting a place in the city and Anna was losing the battle for life. Anna was sick and coughing blood and black gunk at night. Anna was starting lose her fur in clumps and that scared her father. Miracle was too busy trying to find a doctor who could save his daughter. Just once, the two parents wanted to see their daughter happy and hoping this helped her.

Miracle noticed some floating wreckage of a ship and some passengers making a fire from the wood floating to shore. Anna was stumbling as her eye's had black spots under them and she was going blind. Her fur was pale almost pink as she fell on the shore. She was stumbling on the soft sand. Her breath was heavy and Miracle was holding her up when he realized they had made a mistake.

Miracle was holding Anna as Cataria was having to decide, "Tend to her daughter or the survivors." She chose her daughter as Anna was coughing profuse amounts of blood and her parents were yelling at her to stay awake when she closed her eye's for the last time. Miracle looked at his beloved daughter and her soul outside of her body, he was speechless with his jaw opened. Miracle was sniffling and in shock as he told Cataria, "She's gone." Cataria cried out in sorrow as her only child she might ever have died. Only a few months old and full of life until she got sick. She held her daughters' body as it was still warm. It hurt her more than anything, it was worse than seeing her father cut and stabbed to death. It was painful to Miracle to. He was just staring at the sea and watching his daughter, whom he cared so much, enter her door to the other side. Miracle was in shock and was talking to the survivors of the ship wreck. Cataria howled the mournful howl of loss and she had lost her happiness that instant. She was panicking and was cleaning her daughter in any hope this was just a farce, it was not. Miracle joined in the howls of loss quickly.

The howls also attracted a lot of ghost pokémon for some reason or another. That did not matter as a strange new pokémon heard the cry and came to see out of curiosity.

Miracle interjected when he was close and said, "Your too late to her soul. She has passed through the door. I wanted her to get older and be happy but, it was not fated for her. What is your name by chance?"

The ghost replied, "I just was curious about the sound, relax for a bit. I am Avery and your name?"

"Miracle, I just lost her and we made a choice and I... I thought the fresh air would help being outside that stuffy room."

Avery replied, "What's the miracle?"

Miracle replied in stress, "That is my first name, my full is Miracle Vanderbilt of the house of Drake."

Some of the survivors just looked at them as then, they looked at Cataria and Anna's dead body. They were too distraught as they heard the mournful cry from the mother.

Miracle was trying to be calm and said to Cataria, "We can try again next year, can we?" Cataria replied, "I wish that was true but the goddess Theodora said this was my only chance. I might never have this one gift ever again." She was in shock and Miracle was crushed emotionally.

"What did you say? What do you mean!? We have to try again! You know that Theodora was know for lying!" Miracle yelled out-loud.

Avery just fallowing them just on a whim.

At the morgue Cataria fell on the floor from the results of a blood test on Annas' body.

Miracle asked this as he wanted to know what killed his daughter.

The autopsy specialist said, "I scanned her and her body was different than most. I am sorry to tell you this but, she had radiation poisoning consistent with a serial killer of children. His calling card is mixing poisons from various pokémon and then adding the radioactive element."

"Murdered, why was she killed like this?" Miracle asked.

The doctor replied, "I heard from a collogue that he does this as he believes that the most innocent of mon life force will keep him living longer. He picks random children and moves east. By now he is out of Tao. He is likely in Kinez or on the way there." Polly rushed over with her children to the city after hearing the news and tried to calm Miracle and Cataria. Cataria was dead silent during the funeral. She was not sad but, furious at the killer and wanted to die in a horrible way. Many underworld leaders were in the funeral. Cataria was part of this world and she wanted to leave and could not. She was given the title to lead a criminal family by the predecessor on his death bed. In the back room Cataria told some underworld leaders, "Here is the deal, whom ever catch the killer gets their debt to my family 'paid in full' is that clear. Also I want him alive brought to me to get the reward." She was in a serous tone wanting to harm the killer of her child. Miracle was disheartened at the funeral. He wanted justice but, how could he get it. He had looked up the bounty on the killer and it was simple.

The one who caught him and brought the killer to a West Tao embassy would get their weight in pure gold. He had killed several nobles and political heads that the people adored. The mass public wanted justice for crimes against all of pokémon kind for war crimes. He was part of a genocidal group that hated water and fire types. The group was considered dangerous and captured after several mass killings. The killer was a furret with several badly burned paws from chemical burns. Male, with a talent for mixing chemical with poisons from various pokémon. The labs he stole the radioactive ingredients were for medical use in cancer treatment. His name was Joseph Moro Volcanic. His details were that his paws were burned by chemicals as he was making a batch of poisons. He was immune to poisons from pokémon due to regular exposure to the concentrated poisons. He was of average height and weight with a white stripe down his back and shaved front paws and forelimbs. He was a shady character that with the right price, would kill your opponent and they would die in weeks without a trace to most who investigated crimes like this.

Miracle finally got to the task meeting with Avery a bit lost and it was on the way to Miracle's home which was temporary hospital for the winter as it was a built stone house that was warm.

To Miracle's surprise it was a guild leader he found and one of high value. Several others found some survivors already and Miracle was a bit ashamed he could have found more but, there were more important things he had to do.

After the meeting, Avery was presented to Adria at the meeting to great applause.

Miracle did not care but, building a ship might make Cataria happy and away from her duties as Miracle came to the guild his father belonged to and asked for a copy of a warship design he could get modified to be a passenger ship. Miracle got it for free as anyone who asked would get one.

Miracle's logic was that a warship had to be really strong to survive battle, so the rough seas would be less of a challenge. The haul was built of heavier wood and tighter rips on the haul of the ship. Some things he could do were find some suppliers for food and water for the voyage.

Cataria returned to the lost outpost and packed up Anna's thing until she got to the doll she slept with. It was too painful to know that her child was murdered right under her nose. The bed still smelled like her deceased daughter and Cataria packed it still dirty at the bottom of the box. The doll was on the bed now in a empty room with just two boxes on the bed. Cataria shared this room as all but three rooms of a eight room house were for Miracle and his family. The kitchen was constantly busy as it was the makeshift hospital as that was being built. In her whole life, Cataria had never been this confused. She was depressed and hostile at the same time. Only days had past since the funeral.

Cataria was locked in a room and was talking to herself, "I need to kill that psycho before he runs and who will I get him. I need a ship and sailors that know the route. That means I need food and water. There are charts but they are at the bottom of the bay. The tentacruel and jelicent claim the salvage rights wether it was done on purpose or not. I need to eliminate them from the picture. There is also valuable goods and material on the sunken ships. First the salvage rights and then the ship. At the same time I need someone else to get the sailor and manage the deliveries. My husband is good at that." She was on the verge of losing her mind and pulled Miracle into the room.

She said to her husband, "I know you have the designs and are a good carpenter. You are also good at managing and getting things done. Also, find the sailors and organize them. You can do that as I get the waters clear of deliberate sinking and the salvage from the bottom. I know some water type pokémon that will do the job for money. They get the coins but, I will get the charts and sails. I might get a salvaged anchor or two. That is the plan so we can have justice for Anna."

Miracle just nodded and did what she ordered him to do. Spiting the team up to do two tasks made it faster. Miracle came out of the room quietly. He was concerned for the mental health of his wife. She was so focused on revenge that he was worried that it might kill her or she might kill him in madness. Miracle was thinking about when the large number of ships started to sink and the dates. He realize that he caused it when the guilds were still there. He did not take the job removing a patrol.

He realized and thinking, "We did not take that job, this would never happen in the first place? Wait, another team took that job on firing them. I did not cause this at all but the cities ruler did by accident or, was it intentional. She might be getting kickbacks from the salvagers. Cataria will get killed then. I can't lose her but then, I can afford to ignore Polly as she has a lover and hates me."

Miracle left to find the sailor in the morning and he found a few that arrived from the low tide. They said that the ship was pulled into the reef at entrance of the harbor. Some of the sailors were shipwright that had survived and agreed to help build the ship that would stand up to the reef with the design that Miracle found. The sailors wanted to be home with their families just as badly as Cataria wanted revenge. Miracle was busy building the V haul ship and it was not like a normal ship as the keel was higher and the draft of the ship was deeper. He could get the material made with general carpentry. The shipwrights could build the ship better than he could because they had experience. The shipwrights made one design change. They used some of the wood to make some compartment to control flooding and pumping stations. A few sailor had seen ships of iron with the West Tao flag and many were merchant ships protected by heavily armed ship. They also heard that West Tao had these convoys to protect their goods as piracy out at sea was a gigantic problem. They needed protection for the goods they shipped in exchange for grains and passengers.

Cataria was busy as she read a letter from her husband Miracle about his fear that Anana was getting paid to ignore the deliberate sinking of ten ships a month. The only ships that safely passed without a problem were protected with water type defending the convoys. Ships of iron and steel were defiantly military ships covering wooden merchant ships.

Cataria needed help and located several who could from team Kawaii and Swift reflection to tow her across the water and she would fish for the culprits and corner them all into the rocks where she could trap them in smoke and take them out one by one. This failed until the team members that towed her helped fight ten pokémon off to stop the sinking. Verbal proof gave a clear name for Anana but, her assistant was getting paid off.

She found six pokémon to collect the sails and charts in for what was left after finding two stone anchors for the ship. Navigation equipment was found and picked up along the way.

Cataria came to help Miracle with the things she got with her silver tung of a con-artist. Her old life was useful to her for now. She could not build the ship but, cooking was important as food fueled the building.

She found Miracle cutting the deck planking and the carving of the masts. Cataria brought several large sails that needed repair at the dry dock shops as the ship was getting close to completion.

Peter from the charchar gang stated to Miracle, "We need rope to seal the ships' haul."

Miracle relayed the massage to Cataria and she got salvage lines to pull and seal the ship the best they could. The pokémon she found were concerned about her well being as her behavior was becoming more erratic. She was losing her mind and Miracle was just scared of her lately.

Food was not the hard part as fresh water caskets just before the voyage to last longer on the trip. Miracle knew water was life and without it, they would all die at sea. He realized they did not have a doctor on the ships' manifest for this voyage. This was trouble in the long run. If any disease got on board they would not be allowed to dock in the new content.

The month was stressful and soon an arrangement with Polly was formed. If Miracle and Cataria left Tao, Polly would stay married to Miracle for political reasons. Polly would stay in Tao and do what ever she wished with whomever she wanted to. Miracle was no fool and had Polly's lover locked in nunnery and he considered her dead. He give the release papers to Polly but, she could not rush there without Miracle leaving Tao first.

Polly was furious that Miracle, her husband liked to her for a month just to tell her now.

Miracle replied before Polly asked, "I needed you to help with the fall of the guilds. I never meant to hurt you at all. I just felt that you would run away right after my father died in the fire and I wanted my life before he died. I was happy and now... I am more miserable more than ever. I never loved you but, lusted for you. After Anna died, I gave up on recreating my life just to see it fall apart again. Cataria is losing her mind and I do not have the heart to stop her. You do Polly, I see Cataria as my true love and I just see my best friend going insane over revenge."

Polly replied in anger, "You treated me like a toy and now you want help! Why should I? She has already lost her mind and her daughter.

She needs to be locked away for a week alone to even recover!"

Miracle jumped Polly in rage, "How dare you say that about Cataria! (He began to cry and have a breakdown.) I lost my daughter and this is how you repay my caring for you! It hurts and seeing Cataria like this just reminds me all the time. I want my wife back from the brink of madness! How would you feel if the gods gave you one chance to have just one child and it was murdered!"

"I never knew Anna was murdered. I thought she go sick and died of natural causes." Polly replied.

Miracle was weeping with is head low, "Radiation poisoning breaks down your body and you wither away in pain. Anna barely ate any food that stayed down as she was dying. Anna barely was able to walk at all toward the end; I ran to any doctor or healer that might help and it... and it was too late. I just want one back now and that is Cataria."

Polly got her husband Miracle off and just walked away to think.

Miracle was afraid of what would happen on the voyage and asked for one minor design alteration. He came to Peter and asked, "I am afraid that I think we need one minor change and that is a brig or holding cell for a few unruly passengers. Possibly one of my wives that wants to come. My other wife was force upon me and she hates me. (Miracle's eyes wandered.) I think Cataria is losing her mind over revenge and for her safety a brig might be required for everyone's safety?" Peter replied, "The design you gave and our design were mixed as we like your designs haul and rigging but, the designs you gave are for a war ship and ours is for a cargo ship. We already had a secure place for valuables but, we can alter one for a brig."

Miracle was surprised and happy for this alteration as the safety of Cataria was paramount for him.

Polly came back to the lost outpost and left a note for Miracle.

It said, "My dear husband,

By the time you are reading this my lover is free and I understand why Cataria is so driven. She lost something valuable and you never really loved me so, when my arrangements are in order I will come to you.

Sincerely, Polly Vanderbilt"

All Miracle could do is go to his children graves and just stare at the stones. His life was turning for the worst for him personally: Polly was leaving for an unknown amount of time, Anna was murdered; Cataria was slipping away from him as Anna's death was just a trigger to the decent into madness.

He was giving up on life in general as in mire months he lost around six children and his father. Miracle was lost spiritually as it began to rain and he just sat there watching the graves for a few hours. He was in the lost outpost and came in soaking wet as he cleaned himself and slept with Cataria with one eye open.

Cataria was sad in her sleep as she whimpered.

Theodora came to her and said, "I guess this was fate that they want me to be a real god. I loved and I will give you the chance to have as many as you desire. (Theodora rolled her paw and looked sad.) I am going to another realm soon were the dead live again. I just wish I could stay with you for a few more months and live like a normal pup could. I never had that growing up. It was work or more work. I never got to play until I was your child. Goodby mother and I will kill him as I am now a god even if I just wanted a mortal life without being locked up in a palace or even worse, your families role in a society that forces you to be in one job. I just wanted to not be me for once and they do not want me to do that I guess."

"Please look like Anna for me? I just wanted to say goodby and I love you." Cataria pleaded to Theodora.

Theodora changed her form and looked like a happy child as she faded in the dream.

Cataria was speaking in her sleep, "Please my angle I never wanted to see you die before me."

Miracle was hearing Cataria and just wondering why she was just so calm and abnormally relaxed.

Half the world away, A fierce storm blew in on a ship as the ship was heaving and swaying. A badly burned furret was holding on to the cargo tight under the deck. On the deck the sailors and avoided the great storm in the middle of the ocean to see two rogue waves taller than the ships mast hit the ship as the wood cracked and keel snapped in two all the lives were lost on board. The furret was hit in the back of the head and drowned as he was pinned down by the cargo. The water types tried to get out to see the calm under the water was just a deep part of a reef that the waves bashed their bodies into. In a few hours the storm settled down and only five ships were lost in the freak storm. Only the bloody bodies washed up on shore to a small island that was the halfway point of the voyage.

The local tribes feared that someone angered the gods and called for ceremony to calm this angry god.
