Elements (morkai & skys54)

"Right" she sighed and put the letter away and rode off towards her destination. More pirates what could they hope to gain by all these attacks she thorght as she urged the horse foward.
 
You make it to the royal port. Once a busy place full of crates, ships, carts, warehouses and workers. You were too late though everyone is dead and all that remains is the massive new pirate ship flying above the port and a small group of pirates on the ground.
 
Knowing where the keys would be she just hoped she could get to them in time she dismounted and moved as close to the walls and kept in the shadows as much as she could till she reached the place she thorght they would be.
 
You enter the dock masters office. A blan building with wooden floors and walls. a desk with a large book on it. There's stairs leading up. You can hear the pirates outside talking to each other and ransacking the dock yard trying to find the keys.
 
She search quickly and quietly finding the keys she smiled and kept low as she left the room This country seriously needs to be a bit more careful of where they hide there tresures she thorght at she tried to exit the building. The exit she was going for was blocked of and so was the next one she found. She thorght hard over how she was going to get out.
 
The pirates burst into the building, kicking the door down. They see you and without hesitating one of the pirates picks up a crowbar that was leaning against the door and knocks you in the head with it. Then everything goes black. You wake up in a prison cell in the pirates ship. Everything you had on you was gone and you are left wearing sandals, burlap pants and a white tank top.
 
She groaned as she stired and then sat up. Her head hurt badly and she felt pretty much violated. It didn't take her long to work out where she was and she sighed. Well that didn't go as well as I hoped she through as she sat and waited for what was going to happen to her if anything was to happen.
 
There was a man in the cell with you he was old with long grey hair and a grey beard. He was bloody, beat up, and bruised. His grey beard stained with red. He was dressed like you except he was shirtless. Sitting half conscious in the corner of the cell, he groans and the groan turned out that he was saying your name "sky."
 
It took a while for her to under stand what he was saying, once she realised she crawled over to hear him better. "Yes how do you know me? Who are you?" she asked, it was near impossible to tell who it was in his condition and the dim light didn't help.
 
The man cough's and replies slowly "Its me... Count Vance, count of Salam. Remember me... I chose you for this mission and I'm sorry. I... I have a confession to make. I wasn't entirely truthful to you. I hope you can forgive me."
 
"Count! Oh my your alive that's great!" she exclaims. "What, what is it?" she asks sitting down infront of him. He looked awful she felt really bad seeing him like that but soon released that she would look similar if she didn't get of the ship soon.
 
The count coughs up some blood then says "You were chosen for this mission because you are expendable. The elements are secret and the queen intends to keep it that way. After you were to complete your mission the queen was going to have you and your parents executed. It was not my idea believe me. I didn't want young sky to get killed for something she didn't do or anyone for that matter. The queen doesn't care about her country, her people all she cares about is staying on the throne! Believe it or not she never used to be this wicked but I know shes not behind these attacks its something much more darker."
 
"What!" she gasped it took her a while to proses what she herd. Mom, Dad I can't let her touch them I'll do anything to keep them safe, even.... No I can't think like that. What am I going to do theses Pirate attacks really I couldn't care less I can take care of my self and not get my self killed but its my sworn duty to serve my kingdom... What can I do she thorght hard and sat silent in her thorght.
 
The count brakes the silence "I want to help you complete your mission. The queen will never mobilize the military she will just keep sending out poor people to there death. I don't know about you but if we don't stop them no one will and Rendear will be lost. Let me help you and i will make sure nothing happens to you or your family." The count struggles to stand on his feet and bows to you. "You have my swarn word my lady."
 
"Yes I need all the help I can get I will finish my mission, thank you for you help" she smiled and sat him up "If the queen won't help us then we will try to do this alone" she sighed.
 
the count replies "I over herd the pirates talking they captured Condiscar. They have been trying to beat out of me where I hid my element but I wouldn't talk." As he finishes a man shows up outside the cell. He has long brown hair and nicely dressed with a blue dress coat, black shoes and boots. He has two pirates with him. He opens your cell. "Come with me please ma'am, you too count I have something to show you." The man is unarmed but the pirates with him have swords.
 
She quietly stands and looks the man over. deciding it was best to do as he said she helped the count up and help him to follow them.
 
The man leads you up stairs and onto the deck. The pirate ship is hovering about 3000 feet above the Rendear capital. You cross a small bridge at the back of the ship and step onto Condiscar. A ship much like the pirate ship but made of some sort of white metal. The man takes you to the side of the ship. "We already have five elements. Lets she what kind of power Condiscar will have against your precious capital." The Condiscars laser charges up and shoots a blue stream from the bottom. Little do the pirates know anything in the center of the blast is unaffected but some of the city around the castle gets destroyed.
 
" no stop" She giggles a little at there poor aim of the cannon and now the cannon because it does not have all the elements will take a while to charge again ready for the next fire. Well I would think you would research how to use the weapon before before you even try to obtain it she thorgh and quickly stops giggling and stands silent and serous.
 
Suddenly lightning starts shooting out of the ground and into the sky. Large chunks of land begin breaking off where the capital used to sit foaming islands that float away into the sky. The Castle splits right down the middle separating onto two islands then crumbling into the sky under its own uneven weight.
 
"Well that's what happens to the capital" she shrugs not really caring as much as she should. It's not my problem it's out darling Queen's problem she thorght bitterly and sighed in annoyance.
 
Vance leans over to you and whispers "we need to find a way off this ship and collect the rest of the elements before the pirates get them. Do you have any ideas sky? There's to many pirates in these ships to try and make a stand."
 
"We are about 3000 feet up in the air we just have to wait till they land for supplies and then try and excape but other than that we can't really do anything" she whispered back. Again there is nothing I can really do, there is nothing I really have to do if the Queen would wake up to her self then maybe the country might be able to get out of it. she thorght and huffed.
 
You ended up back in your cells and remained there for about two weeks before landing. All you had to eat over that time was bread and water and received regular beatings for information. There is a loud thump. Vance laying on his back looks over to you and whispers "I think we finally landed."
 
"Yeah" she mumbled she was weak and malnourished as she only ate half her food and gave the rest to Vance as he would need the enegy from it more than her. Once the ship came to a stop she listened out for any signs that they had landed.
