Post by Curtis & Slity & Silvia on Jan 16, 2014 21:14:44 GMT -5
Just to make note. I'm just posting this in here but as a Self RP for now, and it's years into the future. So of course, not with the current plot line xD and of course Ill be adding onto this.
---------------------
The morning sun beamed down onto the city and bounced off the nearby guard patrols steel plated armour, but was almost soaked in by the bloody Red Rock tabards that hung from the guards bodies. When the guards passed, Curtis slipped out from a nearby alley way. He looked up to the bright sky from the street, he gazed back and looked around the street again for guards. He smirked to himself as he started walking down the street towards the center of the city where the river cut through the populated area. He pulled down the black hood from his head and walked out onto the main streets, smiling at the local people and nodding as he walked over towards a woman leaning against the short stone wall that sat above the river. Curtis put his hands on the smooth stone wall and looked out onto the city and river.
" It's a beautiful London morning, ain't it Curtis? " The woman said with a smile at her lips.
" Very beautiful morning Divan. I have to say, I really didn't expect to come down to London so soon again. " Curtis smiled back to Divan.
" Well you know how I need help with my ships every now and then, and even more with the supplies. Especially when the damn guard checks every square inch of the shipments. " Divan said as she pointed out one of the the ships in the river. " I've been waiting to get the 'Hystarical Shepard' out of the river since last night. Haven't exactly got the right timing for it yet, probably by noon it'll be out. "
Curtis looked out to the somewhat large cargo ship that Divan pointed out and nodded, " I'd think you'd be used to it since the empire has control of every dock, port and harbor on the island. " Curtis said with a smirk on his face. " But of course, You'd think that when you have a section of your trade company here in London, they'd let you by more regularly with out such checks. "
Divan pushed away from the stone wall and looked at Curtis with an amusing smirk, " You'd think so. " She looked back to the boat. " So you gonna need that ride back to Berk? Ahah of course you will, you don't have your dragons. " Divan laughed.
Curtis was amused by Divan's remark. " Your just making comments about my dragons because a hysterian like yourself doesn't have one. " Curtis said teasingly and patted off his arm, he pointed to the boat and motioned for Divan to come along.
Divan chuckled " I think your the only Red Rocker I can stand. Your people aren't very... friendly. " Divan said as she motioned to a nearby group of guards pestering a man at his wares stalls and taking items from the stall.
Curtis looked over to the guards and the man and frowned as he kept walking towards the boat. " We didn't always used to be like this. Things were.. better years ago. But things started getting sour fifteen years ago, about the same time when I first left Red Rock for Berk. " Curtis sighed as he walked across a long stone bridge to the other side of the river. " But of course, Red rock got power hungry and this is what happened. Trust me, not everyone from Red Rock enjoys the idea that this is what our country has turned into. "
Divan nodded to herself as she walked along side Curtis across the bridge. " Yea, Doesn't help when Red rocker's come knocking on your home islands doorstep expecting us to just give them what they want. " Divan laughed abit. " That was one mistake this government won't make again, disturbing Hysteria or Berk. " she slipped her hand into her pocket and grabbed a coin and looked at it as they continued walking. " It sucks getting older doesn't it. Make you wish things could go back to the way they were.. in a simpler time. A time when you had no worries about anything, when things were calm " Divan sighed lightly and slipped the coin into her pocket again as they turned the corner and started making their way down to the boat.
Curtis' frown went to a emotionless flat position. " We all wish that. " He walked across the small dock to the side of the boat and looked up to the rope ladder hanging down, he started climbing up onto the deck of the boat with Divan behind him. When they both reached the top of the deck the crew mates that were there cheered that their captain was back along with their cargo. Curtis smiled and walked over to the other side of the boat. " Let's not wait for noon, let's set off now. The sooner i get home to my family the better. " Curtis looked back to Divan and smirked, " I'm sure you'd like to do the same. "
Divan smiled and nodded at Curtis as she motioned to the crew members up at the helm to start moving out of the river. " Yes, we both have families we'd like to get back to and so dose everyone else on this ship." She said as the ship started to move from it's position and head out onto the waters.
Curtis looked up at the sky and smiled gently to himself. He couldn't wait to get back to Slity, Siliva, Luna and the kids.
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
An hour out and the boat was sailing smoothly across the calm ocean waters. It gently rocked back and forth as I almost floated in its journey northward, it was smooth that's all. Curtis looked back on the waters behind the boat as the mainland disappeared from sight and mind. He felt the cool ocean breeze wisp by and brush against his face, he smiled and looked behind him as Divan approached him.
" Very nice day to be sailing, very calm, very mild, makes it easier on the crew. " Divan said as she looked back towards the crew.
" Mhmm.. If the weather could always be like this, I'd love it. " Curtis said as he made comment.
" Well, if you go southward along the mainland of Europe, then you could go into the Mediterranean. Place's like Constantinople, and Roma are amazing. " Divan smiled as she turned back to Curtis and leaned against the wooden railing of the ship. She began to peer along the horizon slowly.
" Heh, yes I've heared about such places, almost tropical. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the cold but on Berk it just gets nasty sometimes. I need spring time all year long, that's what I need. " Curtis smiled as he thought to himself.
Divan continued to watch the horizon before something caught her eye, another ship. " Jarok, get the spyglass! " She yelled over to one of the nearby crew members. Jarok ran below deck and emerged not long after and handed the spyglass off to Divan. She takes the spyglass and puts it up to her face and closes her other eye. She frowns as she notices the ship heading towards them. " Get the crew their weapons, quickly. " Divan commanded from Jarok before he ran off again and started yelling to the other crew members to get their weapons.
Curtis took the spy glass from Divan and looked through it, " Were in for quite the fight with the navy. Or at least a ship of the navy. " He said as he noticed the Red Rock Empire flags waving in the air above the ship. He handed the spy glass off to Divan again and tapped the hilts of his swords. " On the bright side, at least we get to have some fun today. Plus, what ever we can find on their ship is ours for the taking, respectively of course. "
The naval ship closed in on the Hystarical Shepperd with impressive speeds. It didn't take long before the ship was right up against theirs and a decorated man spoke from the helm of the enemy ship. " Well Well. What do we have here. A ship that left without saying good bye? "
" Oh we said good bye, didn't you see my crew dump your lousy flag into the water? " Divan replied with a grin on her face.
" Oh oh oh! What do we have here, a jokester? I think you'd better watch your tongue or you'll be a dead man. "
Divan and Curtis pulled out their weapons along with the rest of the crew. Divan looked at the man and smirked " That's woman. "
The crew dropped large wooden planks across the railings and hit the enemy's decks with large smacks. The started making their way across the planks with swords and axes drawn and charging onto the naval ship. Divan and Curtis both rushed across on of the planks and onto the naval ship. Curtis swung his sword and with one clean strike, took the head off the enemy attacked. " One. "
Divan smirked and blocked an incoming attack, she kicked the attacker in the stomach, forcing them to the ground. She took her sword and drove it into their chest. " One! " She pulled her sword back and jab into another charging attacker. " Two! "
Curtis kicked the nearby naval man into the wall of the ship and jabbed at the mans stomach. " Two. " He left his sword in the man and the wall behind him as he took small knives off his belt. He looked in front of him and threw a knife into the side of one of the unarmored men, and another into the neck of another. He turned around and stabbed another one behind him and backed up as he swung his sword at the mans neck. " Five! " He yelled across the deck as he pulled his other sword from the dead mans gut.
Divan laughed as she grabbed a barrel and kicked it down the deck towards more naval men, the barrel ran into a man and toppled over another one right behind him. Divan ran over and quickly ended the lives of both fallen men. " Four! "
Curtis looked around for the decorated man and saw him fending off the crew members. He smirked to himself and ran up the nearby staircase to the upper levels of the deck. He looked behind him as saw a naval man climbing up behind him, he rolled his eye and kicked the man square in the face as he reached the level of his foot. The man fell back and landed on the railing of the ship back first with a crack as he hit the beam. Curtis winced at the sight " Oooh. That had to of hurt. SIX! " He turned back around towards the officer that had managed to kill of two of the crew members. " Oh yes bitch, your mine now." He said with a grin as he charged at the officer. The man turned around and blocked Curtis' attack, Curtis swing his free sword at the leg of the officer and managed to cut the mans leg enough for the officer to fly back.
Divan finished up clearing off the deck with her crew members. "FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT! " Divan yelled as she jab at another man, making it her eighth target killed. She looked around the deck as she saw most of her crew members finishing up. She made her way over to the stairs and climbed up them and saw Curtis and the decorated man.
Curtis blocked the attacks made by the staggering man. He lunged his sword at the mans shoulder and caught him again, he pulled back before kicking the man in the stomach effectively knocking him down, grunting, and panting. Divan walked over to the man and looked at him. " There's a reason why your empire shouldn't run the land. Your forces are weak now. " Divan smiled cutely and took her sword and placed it at the neck of the officer. " Oh and Asgard hollered. They don't want you there. " She said as she raised her sword and dropped it back down on the mans neck. She stood up " Nine. Seems like I win. " She smiled and looked back to her crew. " Grab what ever is of worth or use. And someone get that empire flag from the mast! " she ordered out and the crew scrambled to find the items.
Curtis frowned. " You stole my kill you know. "
