"Of all the times to be lost at sea..." Raurick sat on the prt side railing looking out onto the blue ocean. Nothing had caught his attention recently and nothing seemed to want to entertain his thoughts. His mind was a savage storm of ideas and pessimism, but recently the only fun he's had was burning a stowaway alive and tossing his charred remains to the hungry sharks below.
"Hsingra!" He hollered at the top of his lungs while he dropped to the deck off of the railing and sighed heavily. A young woman roughly a couple years younger than him ran up to answer his call.
"Yes sir?" She greeted, stopping in front of the Captain Raurick. She had joined a few years back, craving adventure and a taste for the sea. She hopped aboard Raurick's ship without a second though and pledged her loyalty. It took Raurick's personal persuasion and a few burnings to get the rest of the crew to leave her alone.
"Have the steerman turn hard to starboard, there was an Ilsand I spotted not too far off." He watched as she nodded and ran off to fulfill his request. He envied her bravado and energy, but above that, he loved her company. She was always calm and calculative and never questioned him unless it would cause her harm, in which case she had yet to question him.

Syori looked at him and spun her scythe around. She plucked a singel dagger and tossed it the back hitting an oncomming pirate in the head knocking him out. Nina walked along the anchor calmly. Syori smiled as her little cat sottd in the enimies way. "Where is Loda?" She asked looking around she spied the chine and caught site of a red pool. "s**t." She said as she jumped below deck and plunged in t othe rising water. She spied the capitian of the blue pearl with an anchor in his side. She was extreamly glade they were underwater cause it cut the anchors weight in half. She pushed the anchor as hard as she could, untill it was unlodged from his body. She grabbed the capitian carefully and brought him back o the surface her imense strangth made it easy for her to carry him to the upper deck. She did a quick fix on his wounds after laying him in his quarters. She walked back out on to the deck and watched as Nina attacked the pirates her spiky armor extreamly effective.

Arc retreated below deck for a cup of coffee, not giving a rat's tail about how much his crew died, he'd worry about having to do all the work later, even though he'd be in a mighty foul mood. Bringing the mug up with him as he sat on the head of the black lion that rested on the front of the ship as he watched the show.

Syori was pissed Her friend had been hurt, s**t did she acctually call him friend. So much for thrid person detachment. She ran gracefully along the chain her scythe flaying around her knocking people in to the sea. She stood on hte chain her pride and honor from her family showing. She made her way on to the other ship and walked to the cannons that the chain was comming out of. She would detach the cannons.

Raurick's eyes narrowed as the island came into better relief. He sighed and actually let himself smile. "Bring her in to dock, boys and girl. We're setting ashore until tomorrow." He informed as he walked up toward the wheel.
Hsingra watched the approach toward the land with a big smile on her face. "Land ho." She whispered happily.

Loda regained consciousness but he found himself unable to move, which killed him because he could hear commotion outside of his living quarters that was definitely a fight, but it sounded so far off.... His torso hurt because he was stabbed between the ribs and hip by one point in the anchor he could feel already soaked bandages that was beginning to leak blood into his sheets. "Ugh this has been the worst day for me." He muttered and found himself having to vomit a mixture of lunch and blood onto his sheets, some of the splatter stuck to his face where it slowly dribbled down and he turned his head to wipe it in the pillow next to him. He was tired of not being able to do anything and even though it wouldn't do much he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Get off my ship trespassers! My crew will kill you all, don't think sheer numbers mean anything!"

Desert was already standing on a pile of men with his chains sprawled on the ground. He just looked at all the other pirates coming towards him and just smiled and bared his fangs. "I am loving this, so much freedom and action, so show me some more fun." He smiled as he appeared in the middle of the enemy ship and threw his arms into. The chains began to stab everyone that was infront of him. As he massacred people he just smiled. "Such small dogs of a big ship, I thought there would be more fight in you guys."

Syori had started working on unhooking the chains. She felt a dagger pirce her side and she bit back a cry of pain. She continued on detaching the Anchor. She felt her back get stabbed a few more timed. Nina was hissing and clawing at the people tossing the El derado around. Syori finsished what she was doing when she noticed that others had gotten back on to the blue pearl. She cursed and dove in to the water and swam over to the ship. She scaled the side and took out the people. The ship was free but it was slower. It was safe from people crossing. She walked in to the Capitians quarters and looked at him keeping her back from his view. She picked up a bowl and a towel and cleaned his face. "YOu should try to get that over the bed." She said half joking. She was carefull as she rewrapped his wounds. Her hands swift and delicate.

Raurick growled darkly as he realized that the land they were sailing towards was relatively barren. The closer they got, the easier the sand was to see. "Tricked by a damned desert." He spat as they approached. "Well, sand or no, it's still a good idea to get some time on land while we can. We'll need to restock our wares and provisions."
Hsingra walked along the edge of the ship until she was standing next to Raurick. "It's not that bad." She reassured. "There's a small outpost about three miles in." She smiled up at him and her eyes snined when he smiled back at her. She could sense life and species, so her abilities were generally only used to sense anything dangerous in the waters.

"I can't move, I don't know why." Loda spoke softly, thankful that Syori was willing to help him, maybe a lady on the ship wasn't bad luck. "Thank you." Loda smiled a little but it was warm, and then he found himself in a moment of peace and slipped into sleep.

Desert was just about finished with most of the men and decided to return to their ship. He jumped to the Pearl and watched as all the enemie pirates crowded around him. "Awww great, boys can we do this some other time." They came to attack him and he just sighed. He swung his arm and a spear reached out and cut off some heads. His other arm released knives. "I wonder where Captain and the pretty lady are."

Syori smiled "Rest right now." She said softly as she finished the medical care. Living on your own you learn how to heal things quickly. Once he was asleep she took the vometed pillow replaced it with a clean one and finished whiping his face off. She fought back the dizzyness and the exaughstion as her blood dripped in to a little pool around her feet. She stood up and moved out of the capitians quarters still not showing him her back. When she got out she saw Dessert finish off thelast of the other pirates. She smiled and than pointed to the hole. "Theres and Anchor thats slowing down the ship we need to get rid of it." She said then the darkness took over. She fell forward her eyes closed. Her back looked like a pincusion with holes and daggers all over it.

Arc watched his own pirates being knocked down one by one and he shouted at them. "Get back on the ship, I'll do this job myself. Get back to the Lion now!" He growled as he jumped over the others and ran across the wire with ease almost like a monkey among the tree branches. With his claw gauntlets both on he rushed towards them and then jumped up and stuck his claws intot he wood of the mast and climbed up quickly into the bird's nest, searching for the best way to strike the pirates below, it seemed like there was only one left and a cat. "Well this should be easy, but he's got tons of hidden weapons. I think I'll just do this!" Arc jumped down and landed on his feet and one hand for balance before running towards the girl, scooping her up and running off along the chain back to his ship. Without an order the remaining crew disconnected the chain and sailed away, disappearing into the foggy rain.

While Sarifa looked out at the storming sea from the Indian dock, she wondered what was to be done. It would take maybe a day or two to have the repairs done and she wasn't exactly a patient captain. Especially when a trade was done. Looking back at her crew, Miss Ari smiled softly. Though they had been attacked by pirates and lost a few members they were safe now and that was all that mattered to her.
Sarifa's father, the second-in-command, watched his daughter as he watched over all things before leading her away from the merchant ship and back to the more solid land. The storm seemed to be getting worse but he knew it would pass before they were ready to set sail again. "I'll meet you back at the house," He said to her softly before leaving her at the edge of the dock.
The young woman merely nodded and continued to watch the choppy gray seas. It was a scary but beautiful sight. As long as there wasn't thunder. She didn't enjoy thunder at all. Gracefully, she turned and walked back to solid Indian ground. The sooner their trade was done, the sooner they could start heading back to England. She held the book she bought close to her. Wanting nothing more than to read its stories of India.

Desert finished off the last of the men and turned around to see a man running with Syori. His instincts immidiatley took over and out ofh is sleeves came out a tiger. "You piece of scum, I will kill you for taking our nakama." The tiger jumped onto their ship with Desert following. His chains sprawled out of his arms, each one holdings sword.
