Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mr. Ari cursed under his breath again as the pirates began their attack. He barked commands and pulled his sword. He turned to his daughter when he found her in the midst of the chaos. He was glad to see that the crew was protecting their captain. He then turned his focus back on the pirates. This was ridiculous it was just two troublemakers. How could they take on a whole crew? Nonetheless The crew was fighting with the skill they were trained with.

Sarifa knew her father was taking command of one side. This disturbance was making them fall behind. That was not good for business. A lot of the crew members were telling her to hide but she refused to be left behind. A scream of shock escaped her lips as one of her crewman fell dead in front of her. He was shot dead. She placed a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming again. She was making her way to the 'captain' before he was harmed. Only taking a little bit of time to see where the invaders were. The young woman was trying not to think about it while her crew members fell.

Syori rolled her eyes when he mentioned women being bad luck on a ship. She had also spied the other ship and watched for a fraction of a second as the two guys barbaricly killed the men on the ship. She pulled out a shot sword that wasn't sharp and jumped on to the other ship, knocking out the crew and doing mild damage. The people survived her attacks but they were wounded. She approched the capitian and the women and bowed. "Im sorry for those two males, I know none of my words can bring back your dead but, my lady please spare your beautful eyes the sight of this mess." She said to the women than she walked over to the two guys. "You don't have to go around killing every one to get a fearsome name," She said knowing full well that there was a large group of sailors mutting about the Chinese women, Syori, the bounty hunter that had a huge price on her head.

"Would you mind I took some of your curry powder?" Syori asked politely She smiled at the women. She Looked at one of the crew and instantly the curry powder was by her. "Sorry, my name apparently has a bigger reputation than I had thought." She said taking the powder and dropping some coins to pay for it. "Dessert, Loda I have your friggen Curry now get off the ship." She shouted tossing thecurry powder on to Loda's ship. She looked furious at the two boys.

Desert looked at Syori and smiled. "Nice, oh well, I told them I didn't want to fight in the first place." He swung his arm and the chains grabbed onto five bags of curry powder. "Well, might as well take it, besides it is not like we killed everyone on this ship. Truth be told I only killed one, the others still have a chance." He jumped back onto Loda's ship and placed the curry on the deck.

Desert went to the deck and the point where all the shouting came from. "You know, you don't have to yell so loud, we are right here." He smiled and sat down on the side of the ship. He then let his arms hand and his chains came out of his sleeves and laid on the floor. They looked like they were sleeping.

The crew looked back watched them leave then looked at the young lady. "Ready when you are...Captain," One said to the fair-haired maiden. The elderly man watched the legendary Syori leave then went to the Captain's cabin.

Miss Ari took to the wheel and started shouting orders to check damage and give a report after the other ship was away. The sooner they got to the India Port the better and they could make repairs as well. It was also a time when she could explore and choose a different book this time. Reading wasn't exactly a fond skill in a woman but she didn't really mind. There wasn't too much damage to be fixed which kept her mind a little at ease. At least for now. They headed on their way with the hope that they wouldn't have to see any more enemies. Though with little wishes like that...they most likely will see more enemies on the sea.

Desert smiled at what Loda said that threw his chains into the ocean and fished out a tone of diffrent fish. "I wonder which ones we can eat." He looked at Syori. 'She looks like a smart girl.' He thought that he should give it a try. "Hey Syori, do you know which one of these will taste good. I was never good at this stuff. Back at the castle, I had cooks do this for me so I don't know the right stuff."

The crew returned to their stations and readied sailing on to the Indies. They knew their captain but didn't doubt that the thought cross her mind. They didn't get into it though. Only the second mate could and he was looking out the window of the Captain's cabin wondering how to explain to their employer just what happened.

It was a tempting offer but she thought better of it. She was captain and she couldn't leave such responsibility once it was on her shoulders unless she wanted a black spot on her record. She was polite though when she looked at the captain of the other ship. "I'm not bored. Thank you for the offer but I must decline," came a sweet English and feminine voice that was only hers. Sarifa turned her attention back to her crew. "Our destination hasn't changed. Sail on," She said, speaking only to her crewmen now. It wasn't really that she was being rude...she was just focused on getting the ship and its merchandise to their destination.

With one last look, or so she thought was going to be the last, she turned and waved a little good-bye to the other ship as her ship sailed farther from the other. looking at the young gentleman steering the ship, she smiled slightly and went down the steps and into the Captain's cabin to see her father. It was then, when she closed the door behind her, that she relaxed fully and sank into one of the leather, Victorian-style, armchairs in front of the desk that her father now sat behind. Silently, they began to discuss what needed to be done in a decent manner until they arrived in the port in India.
