Sky Pirates (Zell and RavenGrey)

[zellsantal]

A gentle breeze blew in the elven kingdom of Rosewood and the kingdom itself was mostly of forest as most elfs love the trees and nature itself. Along the edges of the kingdom lie the port city of Ark and the only place from both sea and air that people are aloud to come in and out from unless using the roads leading to other near by kingdoms or lands. But it was the best place if one wish to make some good coin or to be notice, which Nova hope to get a little of both but mostly notice to a princess. He went over the plan in his mind once more as he and some of his trusted crew still waited for their target to arrive and it have been two days.

The princess of Rosewood have the other half the map that he been looking for, but rather able to just sneak and find a sheet of paper the map was tattooed on her back. On top of that only the light of a full moon could the map show itself. He found a way to get pass that part but the problem is trying to get the princess herself. Fortunately for him a cloaked man he met in a tavern at the time Nova was still planning. The man told him how he could get the princess and would get her interest to come to him, however in return for the information Nova would have to bring her to the cloaked man in the same tavern. The plan was to pose as a traveling caravan who are know for giving good entertainment. He was told the king and queen of Rosewood have gone to another kingdom to settle some things.

Nova believes however she would come today, being it is her birthday. In truth he hated doing this but he needs the map. Besides he would let her go once he got what he needed, though he wasn't sure how long that will take sense to his understanding the map on her back can not be copied nor can it be memorizes. Not to long in thought did the dragonborn hear own of his men come rushing in the room which Nova was staying in. "She's on her way sir, one of the crew saw her carriage along with some knights with her." he told him as he try to take his breath. Nova grins as he rose up from his char "Well it's about time! Take a minute or two then met up with everyone else and get them ready, its show time!"

Rosewood was home to many and the kingdom were great to their people, the kingdom has been getting a lot of bad reputation lately due to something happening which is why the King and Queen were off to the other kingdom to sort things outs, while the princess stayed behind. The princess was one of the most beautiful in the land, some say she was created from a dragon themselves, she seemed to pure and beautiful.

Talila was the name of the princess of Rosewood who did everything in her power to keep her people happy while her parents were gone, but today she was turning 300, (23 human years) and she was going to celebrate by going to the traveling caravan to see what items they would have and what entertainment they would have. Talila's skin was a pale color her hair was white but it was like a silver white and her eyes were a very beautiful dark color that seemed to almost bring someone in.

Talila had been traveling toward the spot she had heard about with some knights along side her for protection of course as she had smiled, Talila was dressed in a very beautiful light blue dress with her hair up done in a braid that was off to her side as she had looked out the small window as the knight informed her they were getting closer. "Thank you" She said toward the knight as she had smiled getting more excited about this.

As one would come to the area they would see that the caravan itself is one massive air ship and is modeled to be a moving theater. The rear of the ship opens up to be a large stage for the actors to play their roles and on either side of the ship are the venders selling their goods before what show would be playing next. The ship itself wasn't very fast, however Nova hoped that with this surprise that he and his crew could high tail out of here before Rosewood's Navy can catch them. Now before reaching his ship the Odin, once they one who sees the black war class airship anyone would know it was the Black Star pirates.

Nova got himself ready, in the play he would be acting as himself towards the end of the show. Everyone would think that he was a human who looked very dame good as the dragonborn pirate himself. Nova only laugh at the thought, he have yet met anyone who could act or even come close to look like him unless they were a dragonborn themselves. No, he would play himself in this. Nova got changed into his normal wears, which was all gray and black. His tail which was also the matching color of his tail which wrapped around his waist like a belt and his two small horns on his head. Some almost mistake him for a demon but lucky for him he didn't have the demon wings nor demonic blood for that matter. The only thing that stood out from a full pirate was the black blade katana, unlike everyone else they use cutlass this sword had more value. At lest to him it did and the crew knew the story behind it, the painful story.

A knock came to the door before it opened, stood on the other side was Rion, his childhood friend and who he trust more then most people he knew. Nova had to gave his friend an odd look, it odd seeing Rion in a navy's captain uniform. He looked suited for it he had to admit and it made him wonder if Rion didn't go with him would he have been force to fight him? The thought send a chill down though him. It seems thought the young blond notice the look and gave a risen brow "What's the matter? Is my hair sticking out again or are you having second thoughts?" Rion asked. Nova couldn't help but laugh "oh no, I came too far to back out now. But still... if you haven't come with me when you did you could have in the navy. You more likely have been a captain of your own ship by now." he told him. "And be Zash's little bitch and wiping boy? No thanks, I rather be hanged then work for him."

Nova chuckled "well I am glade to hear that. Anyways is everything ready?" he asked. "Yep, we will be starting in about ten minutes. The engineers are ready to kick the airship in gear when we got Talila on board. A guard enough came by letting us know the princess was coming to see a show. Told him there would be a set just for her when she arrives, the best of them all. So far so good everything is going well. ". Nova nodded "well then in that case lets get this show under way." he told his friend as they both start walking out of the room and to were they each need to be.

In a sort time people have gathered around and the princess would be setting in front of everyone with a throne like chair waiting for her. Walking out from the stage curtains was a an drawf, some one old looking one as he had some grey streak in his black hair and thick beard. The short man cleared his throat before now addressing everyone. "Lady's and gentlemen, boys and girls, and your highness." with that the drawf gave a low bow then rose again. " My name is Flint Warfoge and I am host for this evening. I also want to thank you all for coming to the show, today's show will be story about a man who started with nothing only to soon become a great navi hero. From fighting monsters of the sea, seducing a sky pirate queen and saving a kingdom from a dark wizard. There will be action, adventure, romance and comedy. Again I welcome you and hope that you all will enjoy the show." with that said he gave another low bow before walked back though the curtains.

(Sorry if my reply is not long I'm replying on my phone)


Talila had smiled up at the ship amazed at all it's glory, she was standing outside of her carriage as she had looked around this had been an Amazon gift indeed. "My lady" the knight said as she had snapped back into reality and nodded. "Oh sorry" she added as she had followed her knights onto the ship as she had soon taken her seat which was placed in front before she had looked around the stage was amazing everything about this spoke like magic it had her feeling like a child listening to stories her father told her of his great asventures. Once the elder dwarf has come on Talila had smiled more before she had gotten comfortable as the show would play but she had no idea what the real plan was.

(Its alright, so no worries.)

The show went on for about two hours which gave Nova enough time to be ready himself. When the time was right he and a few of his own crew went ahead and sneak around everyone and headed towards were Talila sat. Around her were her guards making sure on one got too close to the princess. They rest a hand on their sword hilts just in case some one would try anything funny, so when Nova came close to them he coudl tell they were getting a little edgey and griping their helts a little tighter. People around were starting to whisper among each other and Nova quickly rose one hand for the guards and another to everyone else with a finger to his lips hoping they wouldn't give him a nd his men away just yet.

Nova slowly get's out a scroll and hands it to one of the guards. This scroll was handed to him by the cloaked man with a wax seal on it as well so he didn't know what it said. All he was told is that he hands it to the guards and they should let him get close tp the princess without toruble, or at lest until she is being takening by the airship. The two guard look at each other and by the look at them they seem to aprove and didnt see any problem in it which was what the pirate captain wanted. Also in good timeing for his part in this show is begining.

Nova drew his sword and then moved to were the princess would see him, however for a moment he looked at her. He had to say even for an elf Talila indeed is a very beautiful woman, quickly however he push those thought's aside and back to what he was doing. He quickly mouth her the words 'all part of the show' in hope not to scare out of her wits or too much for that matter. "You there, whos that with the princess!" Rion shouted. Nova can beseen from were he was and looked as everyone before looking back at Rion acting all surprised "Who? Little oh me?" he asked.

"Yes you and I konw who you are as well, Nova Wildheart the pirate of Zanarkand skys!" Rion called out. "Ah, and here I was hoping to still go around unnotice. What gave me a way captain? Was it my devilish good looks, my hat or the fact I wore only black?" Nova asked. "Neither, the smell of rat gave it away!" Rion replyed. Nova looks at everyone "well I guess that's what I get for having some cheese." He said towards everyone and most seem to laugh at that joke, even some the guard be seen chuckling.

Talila had been enjoying the show for the good two hours it was going on. Talila had been clapping and cheering with the others as she had smiled before she had seen her knights get a little tense as she had noticed one had gotten close to her. She had looked at them before they seemed to be calmed down as Talila had looked toward Nova as she has smiled softly st him before nodding at his lips and what he said.

Talila had blinked as she had seen the navy officer come on stage as she had gave a small giggle to what Rion said about the rat and cheese as she had smiled watching what was gonna happen next. Talila had felt amazed at how this was all working and playing no out Talila was enjoying the show but she has no idea what was about to come.

Nova mostin's Talila the fallow with out touching her, or at lest not yet. If he were to by any means would make the guard a little more on the edge and he didn't want that, not now when they are so close. Insteed he would motion with his sword close to her to the stage as if he have her where he wants her. "Unhand her you fiend and fight like a real man!" Rion called out while both Nova and Talila move up the ramp leading to the stage area. "Now ere is the fun in that? I enjoy having a woman with me as I show a Navy captain who is the true king of the skys!" Nova said just before he swing and clash with Rion's sword and doing a bit of sword play for veryone to see.

At the moment that Talila gotten onto the ship's stage the crew cut the ropes that held the air ship in place and right away the engins start flare up. Both Rion and Nova kept their act of sword play until the air ship was about ten feet in the air, to everyone else it all seem like part of the show but the guards right away shouted for the princess and quickly start moving but it was too late to truely do anything about it. The rear of the ship closed with everyone still on the stage area and now have their princess. "Well that went better then I thought it would." he said to Rion as they both lower there swords.
