Pirate hunting

The dock was busy to say the least. Dozens of men and women scrambled to carry crates of supplies up wooden walkways onto a Hylean Frigate. Her name was the Desert Rose both for her beauty and as a nod to the captains love. She was a proud ship boasting 50 guns on two decks. The main, fore and mizzen mast towered above the decks and were adorned by white sails and on the main mast a huge Hylean flag. She truley was a sight to behold. Yet on this day her mission was different. She wasn't on a good will tour nor was she protecting convoys. She was hunting pirates. More specifically a first rate ((ship with over 100 guns on 3 decks)) ship that had been terrorizing this part of the bay. The captain slowly exited his quarters and looked as the last of the supplies were brought aboard. He knew how difficult his task was to be. "Where are the people we're supposed to e meeting?" he asked his crew.

Kira was running down the street naked being chased by a group of guards " Man this is becoming a habit, i seam to get chased by the guards quite often, they should make a sport out of this it really is good exercise.. But what did I do this time... Oh.. Yeah i got into a fight with the harbor master over the price he was offering me for my goods and then the guards got involved... But that still doesn't explain why I'm naked... I guess that i must have passed out somewhere, but that would mean that they have been chasing me since last night.. Well i got to give it to them their determined if nothing else."

"I hope that I didn't miss him... Because i have to get out of town, the last thing I need is to deal with charges of fighting and public indecency... Well i guess that it's a good thing that I anchored my Ship off the coast... I just hope that the cargo doesn't escape, man that's why I hate dealing with live cargo especially when it's magma's and slime's those things are a pain to deal with, if they get out I'll have no choice but to scuttle the entire ship... Well i guess that it's a good thing that it's stolen... Because if it was my ship I'd be pissed, but i haven't even assembled my ship, well ar least i have most of the pieces of it" Kira said running to the ship matching the description mentioned in the letter

When he was close enough to make out the people on the ship he shouted "I'm coming I'll be right there, I'll just be a moment I Just have to get rid of my new friends" as he quickly put together a spell and slapped his hands on the ground and shouted "Wall de terra" creating a wall of earth that while rather weak it was enough to keep the guards at bay as Kira continued to make his way to the ship not at all caring about the fact that he is naked

"So now who sent the letter, I assume that the same person would likely be the person in charge" Kira said looking around at the men on the ship

"YOU, i remember you, you were on the island when we closed the portal, yeah i saved your ass when you triped and lost your footing causing you to fall to the ground with a mobgoblin getting ready to make a meal out of you. I take that your the captain seeing as your the best dressed here which obviously means that your in charge.. It's also a great way to tell pirates were to aim, so that might not always be a good thing. But i must say that the captain's attire looks good on you... I assume that I don't need to introduce myself seeing as you managed to track me down no small feat, you have to tell me how to managed to do that sometime, but I don't think that you ever actually introduced yourself" Kira said standing right in front of the man eyeing him up

John turned and smiled at the man "Oh it's nice to meet...." he paused as he saw the man was nude. "You..." he was shocked to say the least. "Were you invited on board this ship and more importantly by who?"

Krieger approached the ship and smiled at his son as he walked past him. "Ready to prove yourself boy?" he asked with a cocky smile.

Famia sighed as she slowly floated over the, random earth wall in the street. It was rather annoying, but since the pirates were messing with her ports, she looked at the wall and then noticed a naked elementalist. Famia groaned as she boarded the ship with a deathly glare to Kira, and spoke to John, "I am inferring, that you are the one hunting the Pirates today?" she asked with a casual, and rather dagger-like tone, as if the Pirates personally pissed Famia off. Yet she waited for the captain.

John crossed his arms angrily. Who did this woman think she was to come onto his ship and talk to him like that "Yes I am and on this ship you will treat me with respect understand?" he asked sternly. "Her highness didn't have to send a ship to help you." he turned to Kira and frowned "You with the small manhood. Get some damn clothes on."

"oh sorry i almost forgot... HEY not cool I'm not small you drink a bar dry and pass out somewhere cold only to have to run from the guards and not be a bit retracted" Kira said focusing on his clothes causing them to appear along with his equipment

"there we go sorry about that.. What are you talking about your the one who sent me this letter.. Oh hey Kriger.... Wait what son... Kriger did i hear you correctly he's your son you never talked about him.. Man at this rate you going to be a grandfather.. So what exactly is going on the only reason that I'm here is because of the chance to make some gold and kill some slavers... And well there is also the fact that i may have worn out my welcome here..." Kira said anxious to leave

" Nice rig you got here and what you have about 400 men, 100 guns, probably have at least 6 swivel guns and maybe 3 mortars, so then that means that you can fire what about 300 balls a minute depending on the type of shot and weather so it takes you about 3 seconds to reload.. Not bad... I'm impressed though personally i don't have guns on my ship, don't need them if you have a bunch of mages and archers on board, besides without the weight of the guns you can move much faster. " Kira said trying to change the topic

John chuckled. How wert captain wished he had a ship that big. "50 guns my lad." John said smiling. "42 broadside cannons. 22 are 35 pounders and the other 20 are 25 pounders. We have 2 swivel guns and 6 deck guns. I have a crew of around 250. We may be small but we put up a hell of a fight." he explained with a proud smile. His ship was always a huge source of pride for him and he loved to talk about it. "We've hit almost 30 knots in a strong wind before. But we won't be needing that today. We'll need superior guns and crewmen. Something I am not lacking."

Famia glared to the man, "If her highness didn't send a ship. One of her biggest ports in the country would fall into ruin. But farewell it. I do apologize for my manners, it's not every day when a man lacking in size creates a wall in the port. Which the caster may be thrown off the ship for." her tone was harsh, but lightening up, as if Famia's frustration was slowly being alleviated, as a gentle sea breeze came through, she sighed, and spoke again, with a more kind tone to her voice. A more, common tone, "Where are my manners, I am Famia Rensen. The Duchess of Kakariko Village, and a trained Dragoon. May I ask your names?" she asked, the crest that she wore around her neck had moved and jingled a bit, as she bowed a bit in respect, at least, as much as she should give, these people WERE assassins after all.

((Question for Lufia, why the heck isn't Famia in Kakariko? If they're in Termina and she's concerned, why isn't she over there fighting off pirates? She has no precedence over anything in Termina. I'm confused! lol))



Zak was on a trip back to his main source of income when he noticed a whole lot of hubbub that was probably going to negatively affect his time out of here. There were a few too many ships in the harbor, but Zak managed to dock his ship just fine. He looked over to the smaller ship beside him and started laughing. His men, after situating the ship, looked at John's boat and started laughing as well. Before long, a small, orange haired boy appeared at the side rail, looking curiously at the ship as if to understand what was going on here.

Din's Avenger was larger than John's rig, for sure. She was also a beautiful black in color with cream-colored sails. The flag that was raised was a pirate's flag, but it was clear he wasn't causing any trouble. He was docked to load up some goods for Bartholomew Archer.

"Nice boat, lover boy! Hope she doesn't get too loaded down! You might just sink!" A riot of laughter erupted from the crew of Din' Avenger. Zak shook his head and hung over the rail, looking down at John. "What, come in to trade some flowers for the woman?"

"hm that all looks alot bigger..." Kira said to John

"My lady i am honored that you choose to grace us with your presence but i would ask you to overlook my actions you see last night i got into a.. Ah altercation with the harbor master over the price of some goods... Next thing I know the guards come marching in and i started to run passed out in a ally woke up and the rest you know.. Besides at least i didn't harm them..
I must say you have some quite formidable guards here.. I believe we've met, so I see no need to introduce myself.. But I'd like you not to lump me into the same category as those people, no offense to them, but i am not a assassin I'm a Mercenary completely different i don't hold allegiance to anyone except myself and i don't just kill i do whatever the job calls for from courier service to body guard and yes killing. I hope that i didn't cause you too much trouble" Kira said with a sense of humor

John smiled at famia and bowed politely "John Kross at your service." he said quickly. He didn't have much time to waste "Are you accompanying us on our voyage?" he asked. He chuckled at the pirate ship and crossed his arms "Compensating for your lack of a personal cannon are we?" he cockily asked the pirate. "Besides my love is your bosses daughter and your future employer so hold your tongue boy before she cuts it off."

Krieger looked at the pirate and smiled "Impressive ship lad where did ya acquire her?"

((To answer your question Spar, she is taking matters in her own hands after a diplomatic meeting))

Famia laughed a little, before speaking she shook her head, "They are not my guards. They are Terminian. Thus, I cannot save you Mr. Lacking-" she said before the other pirates came in, her nice smile had dropped, and her look was rather stern, Famia spoke now with an annoyed tone as she looked at the Din's Avenger, "Oh please, Pirate. At least the captain here can get a woman for more than thirty minutes." she snapped back, in defense of John. Her spear rested on her back as the Eyes of Grima floated behind her left shoulder, now uncloaked since she has nothing to hide. Yet something was off about her, as the wind slowly circumvented around her feet.

"Bite me miss temper, and I don't need your help i was just trying to avoid killing them intill i had too, i was just trying to be polite one noble to another but you know what you can...oh never mind it's not worth it" Kira said cutting himself off before he could say something he would no doubtly regret

"Show off.. he's a cocky one ain't he thinks he's all that since he has a bigger ship.. Well this should teach him a lesson" Kira thought to himself silently casting a spell to wip up some waves to slowly push the mans ship away. Kira had nothing against the man in fact he quite liked him but he did kind of ask for it, being so damn cocky and besides kira was pissed off and it was either this or kill the guards that were chasing him so he chose the lesser of two evils

"So...Zak was it fancy seeing you here, i haven't seen you since the whole portal incident, don't tell me that your here for the hunt too." Kira said with charisma hoping to detract him

As Famia spoke, three women (three damn sexy women) came giggling (and half naked) from Zak's chambers. "Thanks for the good time, Captain!"
"We'll have to do it again sometime," Cue the flirtatious wink.
The third didn't say much, but ran up to Zak and gave him a prompt kiss on the cheek.
The three quickly slipped off the ship, giggling as they talked amongst themselves.

"I say, at least my nether regions aren't collecting dust, eh? All of yours seem to be. Especially yours, Famia. You're a bit of a stiff. And not in a good way." Successfully anchored, Zak's marvelously muscled, tanned chest glistened in the sun. He looked like a demigod of sorts and was probably just about as sexy as Chris Hemsworth. With a stretch, he opted to answer Kreiger's question and he leaned luxuriously on the railing.

"Got it from my old boss. He passed it down to me as a gift. She's now sailing smoother than ever, and we're also much more prosperous. And it's funny you should say that, John. Mr. Archer would never pass his business on to his daughter. She's a female." Zak spoke the truth and nothing but the truth, a large grin plastered on his face. Very characteristic of him, no doubt.

"There's a hunt?" Oblivious, Zak was only here to receive a shipment. If there was money in it, he might be game, but despite that, he was a no go.

"Ha ha oh i take it all back your alright in my book Zak, and I don't know about them but my neithers aren't going to waste.. They are still a bit sore though.. As i say anything for a buck, i even worked at a brothel there for a while, as a guard of course though i was requested a few times.. Though it seems like you've gone and opened up your own brothel there mate.. But I don't know if you want to be a part of this hunt... You see were hunting...You, no I'm just kidding were hunting some other pirate who has been nothing but a disgrace dealing in slaves and other things that no one not even a pirate should deal in" Kira said looking down on him smiling and rubbing him on the head "and i don't think that anyone cares about the fact that your ship is bigger than John's.. Seeing as I'm 6 inches taller than you and like 2 years younger..so if you could just be a sport and leave him be Thanks" Kira said standing up for John and trying to prevent any conflict
