Fantasy Crimson Lotus - We take what is ours (Always open)

[Tetro]

Edward Longshanks - Grazaa Alleyway

​

Edward listened to them speak, and even heard the girl's whisper about the captain shooting women. Edward finally spoke up, the spine chilling sound of Drachma being unsheathed being loud enough to shush them all, "I'm not one for violence, but the captain is a friend of mine and if he wants this lass then it must be for good reason. Until I know for sure I am going to have to act on his behalf..." He spoke with a bit of regret in his voice but ultimately knew what he had to do. "Now don't take this the wrong way, I am not loyal to the captain of the Crimson Lotus. So I promise if you come along without a fight no harm will come to you. We can get this sorted out and talk things through. I use the blade because I highly doubt any of you are rational, but I might as well give you the chance to prove me wrong." He explained to them all, genuinely serious about his promise. "But if there are objections then speak up please." He looked at each of them, his sword's point still aimed at them. Edward read them like books, having more than enough experience to be able to know what they were capable of, and the odds weren't in their favor at the moment since they knew nothing about him.

Koziak Redd


-Grazza, Alleyway


Koziak raised an eyebrow as the girl touched her pendant speaking in dragon tongue. That can't be good. He thought to himself. Koziak has been around for a long time. He came across many mystical creatures and objects in his time. And a dragon pendant was never good. As the new comer spoke about knowing his captain, and pulled out a sword. A sword he really pulled out a sword. Koziak sighs. He's been thinking for a long time whether or not to leave or stay. He steps off the wall and he too pulled out his long katana sword and turns towards the girl. His white fox fire began covering his body. Run. He said calmly, then quickly turns towards the new comer and blasting him with white lightning. @Tetro @Kazehana @DarknessSpirit @xxbetaspiritxx

Desani Petrova


Grazza;allyway


Desani's amusement quickly turned to anger and fear when the man refused to let her leave. "You have no idea what's going on because you would not be drawing your damned sword." She stepped foward threatingly "Royalty is a high priority to pirates, with the gold and money, if you were smart you would know that. Your little captain friend shot me after a stuck a knife in a crew mate. But you wanna know the little sad part old man, the fact that you can't kill me because the caltain wouldn't be very pleased would he?" Her voice was fast and venomous, she was angry but her voice was cold and in a low soft deadly voice.


As soon as Koziak said run, Desani did, she pushed the old man to the side and sprinted as hard as she could, away from the allyway.

Chronos - Grazaa

​

She was still trying to figure out what the woman meant, but hadn't the time since everything was happening so fast. She wasn't going to just leave Koziak there because, well, reasons. Staying just far enough away from the makeshift battlegrounds, she stood by to offer him support. She would stay until she knew Koziak was safe and finished with the battle. Until then, she was as good as a wallflower. Seeing the woman run away didn't surprise her; she fully expected Opal to leave as well. But they didn't have an attachment to either party, so it made sense to her.

Edward Longshanks - Grazaa Alleyway





Edward allowed the girl to run beside him and push him, but faster than the fox used his lightning he struck the girl's leg with his blade. Drachma cut the girl and gripped onto her leg forcing her to fall on her face rather hard. Edward's swing also made him duck to the side to avoid the lightning. Making the girl trip kept her safe from the lightning possibly striking her. Edward had taken out Neptune at the same moment he spun, allowing him to fire a shot at the master gunner's leg to buy him the single second he needed. Using that second he moved around the corner with the girl. "Seems like I wasn't wrong... You know you could have just spoken to me before attacking." He sighed, Drachma keeping an unbreakable grip onto the girl's cut open leg. The cut wasn't deep enough to do any permanent damage but it was bad enough so even if she got away she wouldn't be able to move fast enough to escape. Edward tugged at his cutlass, the blade letting go of her, "Now scurry off." He gestured for her to leave. He stepped back into their line of sight, "So, shall we speak?" He seemed mildly bothered about the whole ordeal.

 

[ElectricDandellion]

When told to 'run' opal obediently did just that. She ran with Chronos and Desani. Her feet were bare and the shadowed stone floor put her once burnt feet at ease. Stifling a sigh, she continued to scurry away from the situation. Looking at her friend with excitement, a grin twisted on her lips. "Des! This can be our chance to escape,no?" She asked. However, she was highly intrigued to have heard her friend speak in dragon tone. Of course she understood it, she could speak to animals, that included mythical creatures. Pairing up with a dragon would be exciting.


At the sudden rush of white lightening, she gasped, pressing herself behind a wall to avoid any harm to herself. She also grabbed Des and Chronos in the process to make sure they weren't harmed either.

Chronos - Grazaa ??

​

While she thought she was going to back up Koziak, she felt herself suddenly whisked away with the other girls. Would it be okay for her to just leave him there? She was sure that he could take care of himself, but it still bothered her that she wouldn't know. Looking between the two girls, they looked like they might need backup more. But she hadn't the faintest idea who the strange man was... Dilemmas dilemmas. Before they got too far, she turned her head back for just a few moments, running all the while. "Don't you dare get hurt, Kozi! Find me!" she said before they whisked around a corner and she lost sight of him. I hope he'll be okay...

Desani Petrova


Grazza; running


Desani screamed as she felt the sword cut into her leg, making her trip, thankfully moving her arms in time to avoid damage to her face, the man oddly let her go, and it took her a minute to kno why he did it. She quickly got up to Opal, and slight limp in her run, slowing her down a bit. Thankfully, Opal grabbed her around the corner in time to avoid some lightning.


She as well grinned with Opal "Just make sure your not caught this time, eh?"she said with a slight laugh, slightly out of breath, she peaked around the corner. "We'll need to get farther, it will take time for Soloknir to get here." She knew her leg would slow them down a bit but hopefully not too much.

Soon enough, the 20 minute time limit that Buras had set was up, and they were going to leave whether the few remaining sailors were on or not. He was fairly certain everyone made it on, and he made sure himself that those of any importance were on himself. "A'ight, we sail! Let her go!" he shouted to his crew men. And as soon as the sails caught the wind, they were off with a jerk. Buras himself was at the helm, a firm hand on the wheel to keep them from crashing into anything as they shot out of port. "A ship with a yellow flag stole something that some rich guy wants back. He paid us half up front, and we get the rest when we get back. But if it's something that we like, we'll keep it for ourselves. What say you lads?" he shouted to them once they were on open waters.

Koziak Redd


-Grazza, Alleyway


Koziak kept his sight on the new comer as the girls escaped. He knew the Chronos didn't want to leave him behind but the other girls needed more help. He grinned after Chronos spoke to him. I'll find you Chronos, or you'll find me. He sheaths his sword and his tails come out showing all 9 of them. Two of his tails touch the ground holding him up as he crosses his legs, holding himself into the air. So what do you want to talk about. I have all century. @Tetro

Chronos - Grazaa ??

​

She felt like she should be helping somehow. She could technically fly them away herself, but that would mean she had to change back. And we all know how He felt about helping others, so she decided against it for now. Instead, she allowed them a tailwind, just enough to get them away faster. She wasn't sure where they were going, nor did she particularly care as long as violent people weren't involved. She was just there for support after all. Good thing she was currently ineligible for being hunted after by pirates. Unfortunately, these girls didn't have that luxury, though it appeared as though they had luxury of their own. Taking in deep breathes, she continued to run, though she'd hoped that they would take a break soon. Her legs were already tired. "When is what's his face getting here?" she huffed, to both or either of them, whichever got the answer faster.

Nathaniel Sullivan ~ Sea's Treasure


The whole ship resounded with a jubilant, "AYE!" at the mention of a new treasure. Their exit from port had gone smoother than Nathaniel had expected, the wings of the ship had unfurled beautifully with a great "snap!" there was nothing more satisfying then seeing all their hard work pay off.


He now went from sail to sail making sure the bracing was tied tight to the sides of the ship and that the knots were secure for the side sails. Nathaniel sighed as the salty sea air hit his face. It felt good to be back on the sea, he could tell the crew was happier to be at work too. Everyone bustled about doing their work like a finely tuned machine with a tune or two floating about the ship.

John Rightfall - Grazza islands bank- Grazza islands streets

​

John watched annoyed as the other captain ran away, but he didn't care enough to chase her down, in the end it will have no profit and probably more loses if he did so he decided to let her go. Then the three men who went to the safe came back with a bag full of gold and coins "Alright men, we are done here take everything to the ship, you got a free hour to do as you like. But be warned I am not going to wait for anyone." John said as he made his way towards the exit of the bank, he noticed Sam the guy who the queen stabbed to death, he bent over to his knees "I am sorry, like I promised your family will be under my care from now on." John said with a low and sincere tone, in the end Sam's death was partly his fault and it was a meaningless one. "And take Sam to the ship as well, he is going to get a pirate funeral." He then added the order to his crew, and a few men, Sam's closest friends came over to carry their friend to the ship.


John walked out of the bank and started scouting the streets and alleys looking for the two runaways, he cursed under his breath that he let two of them escape. "I am not sure if faith favors you to catch two royals in one day, or just playing with you by showing you them and then letting them go" John's pistol teased him, John didn't like that very much but he didn't give the pistol's words much attention. Then a lighting rush through one of the alleys caught his attention, must be Koziak John thought to himself and he picked up the phase towards the direction it came from. as he turned to one of the allies he saw the two royal runaways and also another women he didn't know, and to be honest didn't care about. John immediately pulled his pistol and aimed towards the group, he noticed the queen was healed from his previous gun shot he wondered how but there were more important things on his mind right now "Well guess faith really likes to play with me, how about you come peacefully this time and hear me out?" John said, in the end he never wanted to hurt any of them, he was just looking to make some money in the case of the princess and in the case of the queen well her powers can be of great use to him.

The crowd had formed and surrounded a small circle. A tall man of African descent was acting like a referee.


In the circle was Joshua and another man. The man looked like an officer in the army and he was wearing his uniform. He and Joshua were having a duel.


Joshua had challenged the officer to a duel, betting three hundred gold coins on his head.


The officer looked like some lowly peasant in the duel. It was obvious he got his rank more from family lineage instead of skills. Every thrust from the officer was easily sidestebbed and countered by Joshua. Joshua was just playing a fool then.


After a good few minutes of joking, Joshua finally disarmed the officer and held his katana near the officer's neck. The officer put his arms up and yielded. Joshua sheathed his katana and shoved the officer to the ground.


Joshua simply smiled, and walked away. The crowd cheered for the victorious duelist and let the officer be.


Joshua was actually waiting for an official invitation to the Bloodied Roses although he had no idea who to expect or whatsoever.

Searched the sky's in response to Chronos question. "He should be here soon, it does take a while though to-" Desani was interrupted as suddenly John popped right back around the corner, holding his favorite gun.


Ignoring his request, trying to stall time for Soloknir she hissed in a frostbite tone "How's your crew member? That stab must of really hurt." Her voice sharp and venomous as she looks silently for ways to escape.

 

[DemonicPossession]

John Rightfall-Grazza Islands street

​

John expression went back to his cold dead stare "Sam... He is dead. Funny enough, you think I am the big bad guy here, yet you killed more people on this island than me and my crew did. The only one who we actually hurt was you after you killed Sam, and even then the blood would have clustered before causing death." John stopped looking at where the gun shot wound was, and how it wasn't there anymore "Though I see you took care of that already, Sam had a wife and daughter by the way. Do you know what happens to a widow wife of a pirate and her family? they usually are forced to sell their bodies just to survive. Sam used to send them money every week, and now he is gone. Do you know why my crew is so loyal? As you could tell I am not a nice guy, calling me evil or crazy both will probably be accurate. But I am fair, I will take care of Sam's family like I promised I would to any of those who follow me, this will be the fifth family that is going to be under my care. Now you might say you did it for self defense but tell me did we hurt you? or planned to? Ask the princess all her wounds... She caused herself, we didn't touch her we simply wanted to bring her back to her parents and get a reward for returning her safely and unharmed. I am not nice and probably evil and bad, but at least I am honest with myself, are you? can you really say what we did was wrong and evil and what you did was good?" John finished his rant with a sigh then added "I can't stand hypocrites, be honest with yourself if you are unwilling to be honest with me. We never would have hurt you or the princess, yet you killed one of us. You did a worse thing than we did on this island, yet we are the bad guys here and you are the holy savior who did nothing wrong?" John's entire rant was said with what can only be described as a sad tone, yet his expression was more of a disappointing one like he was disappointed that the queen killed Sam or maybe disappointed at himself for letting her do so.

​

She instinctively stepped to the side, making sure she could watch them bicker. This looked much like, if not exactly like, the pirate from before. My my, he did seem to have a tongue on him. As if he couldn't provide for Sam's family himself. How manipulative. Besides, it was unlikely that his family knew much about him at all since he was gone all the time. In addition, how did he get money home...? She didn't look much into it, taking his words as a means of guilting the girls into going with him. But Chronos wasn't about that life.





"Why don't we stop guilting each other and just go our separate ways. Bye bye now," she said to the pirate, shooing him away. She figured he wouldn't do anything to her, considering he seemed to respect her before. She didn't at all take into consideration that the pirate would have respected Him, but perhaps not her. "We have some serious business to attend to, and we can take her home ourselves thank you very much," she concluded, rolling her eyes at his reasoning. Which, to her, wasn't really that well thought out. It was all just fake garbage to her.

Desani Petrova


Grazza; streets


Desani pursed her lips. Any other person would have surely felt guilt after that rant. Yet Desani had a cold heart. And people in her kingdom knew it. Which was why she made a good queen. She was strong. Did he know she had powers?


If she were to go with him, Soloknir would still find her as long as she wore the neclace. It seared a special connection between them. Desani would be suprised if anyone were smart enough to take it from her. Desani stared up at the captain with emotionless eyes. On the inside she was scared. There was a gun aiming at her and it already shot her before. "I do not have a kind heart John. I'm sure Sam's family would be better off then if they hadn't had a pirate In their family at all, don't you agree?" Desani spoke cooly and calmly her voice soft, as her mind tried to figure out what to do.

 

[DemonicPossession]

John Rightfall-Grazza island streets

​

You could see it on John's face that he was annoyed at the girls remark "She killed one of my men, 'guilting each other'? how about showing her the truth. Am I suppose to just let her kill Sam and do nothing about it? And to be honest worst of all is the fact that she will probably think she did a good thing killing him, not even knowing the consequences of taking a life. Or maybe she thinks there is no consequences... in that case what stops me from killing her? I will tell you what, fucking consequences, taking a life is not something you just do, not even I am stupid enough to just go around and kill every one I don't like, like I said I am fair, if there is one good thing I can say about myself it would be that. I don't kill without reason, I don't hurt someone without reason, yea I am a bad guy and evil I rob people but trust me when I say this every man or woman I put in a grave deserved it and then some." John felt that he was close to bursting again, he tried to control himself tried to relax but to no avail, he hoped one of the females won't say another stupid thing or he might not be able to stop himself. "Ohhh this might get exciting soon" John's pistol remarked noticing John's feelings and how close he was to jump from the edge.


But the queen went a head and did it, she said something stupid that caused John to rage with anger. "So you say that Sam's wife and daughter are better of becoming whores?! Tell me you all mighty dragon queen, what do you know about common peoples life? What do you know about eighty percent of the people you so call "rule over"!" John snapped he basically shouted it loud enough for the entire town to hear him "Sam himself left my crew at least five times, I stopped counting to be honest. Many pirates leave after a short while,they get a bit of money and try to settle for a honest living but most return. Why? Because life as a commoner is hard and merciless, of course you two, who lived your entire life in a castle with servants taking care of everything you need will have no idea what I am talking about. " John's finger was itching on the trigger, he so much wanted to shot the girl who not only looked down at pirates but disrespected him and his crew. "You heart does not matter here, I am not trying to appeal to your heart. I am appealing to your brain, if you have one that is, I am trying to make you see what it is that you done, to understand whats the consequences, yet looks like you prefer to stay blind, must be nice." John said regarding the queen's comment. "Easy now, you can't have all this talk about the consequences of killing someone and then gun her down" "Shut up!" John shouted at his sword who tried to calm him down, again not caring about how other people saw it.

Bella paid little to no attention to John as he spoke, his words passed through as if they were ghost. Letting out a stifling sigh she heeded to the only thing she picked out was an hour of free time, and that was enough to send her on her way. Being that it was still day, she had no reason to lurk in the shadows, or anything fun. "Man, how much I wish it 'twas night." Her voice low a smooth, as if she expected some would be following her. As she walked her eyes landed on the towns news board, littered with wanted posters. "Looks to be like some easy gold." Her voice laced with laughter as she ripped one of the board, and held it in her hands. Reading: 'This man wanted for theft, murder, and discriminating a royal officer. 10,000 god pieces. "Interesting...." She said, as she scanned the crowd, her eyes looking on to a man who looked oddly similarly to the man on the poster. Looking around she then went after the man, walking of course, though the tight mingled crowd, and her hand resting on the mans shoulder. He jumped as he felt the tough, and turned, eyes wide and face white. He turned and tried to run, but to late, she had a firm grip on his shirt and yanked him back, drawing her sword and threatened to kill him is so much as moved a muscle.




Letting out a small laugh as she carried a bag of cold coins out of a building, tossing it up and down. 'That was easer then I thought it would be!' Her inner self cheered, as she walked down the street. "Man, this town just keeps getting better and better!" Her voice whaled out, clearly joyed she maxed her way back to the ship, only to walk past the same ally John was in. She blankly stared at the back of him, and then to others he had his gun pointed at.

Desani stilled looked untouched by his words. "When you send people out to war, and hear the death toll. You get used to the people you killed. You have to live every day with it and you can't do one thing about it. Just like I can't help you with your Sam issue so-" she suddenly went silent as a giant form in the distance started to take chaos, it seemed to be moving closer to Grazza and was in the sky. Soloknir was finally here. (Ggg school, I don't care what happens to my character just make sure she gets kidnapped xD )

​

She wasn't sure how to reapond to any of this. He was obviously trying to guilt them, but why did he care so much what they thought? To be honest, she thought that he should've just tried to kill them if he felt that strongly. For now, he looked like he needed to calm down.


Walking up to him with confidence, she walked behind him and started to rub his shoulders. "You look tense. You should try to relax," she said with a soothing voice, letting her bird like coo slip into her tone. She hoped that he would be more likable if he was calm, but she didn't know.

Cynthia had been watching the whole scene go down. She wasn't around for Sam's death but it seemed like according to the captain he was killed unfairly. Can't really blame a person for wanting to kill a pirate but that probably wouldn't be the right thing to say right now. She watched one of the girls go up to him trying to calm him down. Now she hasn't been part of the crew that long but trying to calm him down by rubbing his shoulders didn't seem, like a good idea at least not right at this moment. Though then again she could be wrong. As curious as she was to say something she decided for once to let this slide an stay in the background unless well things started going crazy. If he think that's unfair he should visit my home.

 

[DemonicPossession]

John instinctively unsheathed his sword and pointed it backwards, he stopped his instinctive thrust an inch before it hit the girl's stomach, he didn't feel any hostility from her nor the intent to do any harm, John froze in his place for about a second unsure of what to do. He took a deep breath and turned around shaking the girl's arms from his shoulders, his sword still unsheathed but no longer pointed at her, he was still mad but his anger was not directed towards the girl and he had no use for her. "You are getting better at controlling and directing your rage" John shrugged at his sword's remark"You just don't get it do you? I wonder if I am the only demon here. You look at people as pawns and so do I, but I don't look at them as chess pieces and I think you just might. The problem is this is not a chess game." John addressed the queen, he gave up on trying to make her understand her actions, he realized she simply didn't care. To be fair John would have done the same in the end and wouldn't have felt sorry for what he did either, but he would have understood it and he wasn't sure if the queen did. "Life is not a chess game its much more complicated than a chess game" he thought to himself. "By the way, every thing I said was true. My crew is loyal to me because I am fair, not because I am evil and they fear me. Fear is a bad leadership tool, it only works as a temporary bandage, you should learn that lesson." John wasn't sure why he said the last part but his thoughts were racing each other in his mind, he was still angry still wanted to kidnap them, yet the logical part gave up. He wasn't sure if it would be worth all the trouble anymore, taming a dragon was impossible he thought to himself. He already took all their jewelry and money, well most of their jewelry John thought as he noticed Desani's necklace.


John thought to himself of just letting them all go, and return to his ship, he had enough loot from this trip to make it worthwhile and to be honest a lot more than he planned to get. But then he noticed a shadow approaching the island, John's sharp eyesight helped him immediately identify it was a dragon. John almost instinctively dashed towards Desani and slid behind her bring his sword to her neck, and causing a small flesh wound. The wound was not noticeable though since all the blood was sucked by his sword. "Ni nos uv zu'u fen kriiek." (Don't attack or I will kill her) John gaining the ability to speak the dragon tongue through his sword addressed the dragon who was getting closer and closer. Maybe there was a way to tame a dragon after all he thought, talking to them will help a lot. And now his logical part was back to the kidnapping plan again.

​

She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do now. The dragon appeared to stop its advancment (assuming we can assume this since she said to continue), which worried her. How much power would he have if he controlled both his weapons and dragons alike? It didn't sound very good to be honest. "Let's take a moment to calm down," she said, putting her hands up to about shoulder level. She noticed the necklace, of course, because that part of Him came out. Though she had a reasonable tolerance for dealing with them. "I don't understand what you want from us.. Them. You have your money, and they have nothing left on them to give. What else could you want?" she asked, a bit puzzled. She could understand if she was the one in question, with her rather versatile powers that made her, her. But he didn't know any of that, at least she thought. So what was it? She was fighting the sun very hard now, trying to force her flames to extinguish permanently. But how long could she keep this up? Hopefully for as long as she needed. "We don't have anything left for you to want," she stated adamantly. She had nothing else to say, mainly because she was bad at lying.
