“You filthy pirate, we’ll get you for this!” The captain shouted as him and his men stood, tied to their mast in their underwear. He was shouting at the young woman, standing on the main deck with the wheel in her hand. Of course she was ignoring them as the rest of her crew was plundering in the ship. “Do you hear me?”
“Yes, yes. You’re going to string me up by my neck and hang me. I get it, now shut up. You’re not getting your pants back.” Salieri snapped back as she steered the ship hard to the right, turning it around completely. She lifted her hands and the sails caught wind, forcing them forward. “This ship is older than the one I have,” Salieri muttered to herself as they drifted through the clouds, moments later a ship twice the size appeared. She smiled, hearing the flare of fire as hot air filled the blimp above the deck. She sighed in relief seeing as it wasn't taken as she was here.
“What the hell do you need our ship for? Yours is amazing!” Another tied up crew member shouted and Salieri chuckled.
“Are you kidding?” She asked and the men looked lost for a moment, “I don’t want the ship, just everything on it.” She added as she lifted a mirror and signaled the other ship. A flicker came back and she whistled. A stampede of men with trunks and weapons from the ship filed out onto the deck. “Get a move on men! Back to the Oasis!” She shouted. The sky fleet soldiers restrained watched the pirates approach the edge of the ship like there was nothing to worry about, but they were literally five thousand feet in the air. They would die if they jumped.
“How the hell are they going to get over there!” The captain snapped and as they all jumped with the loot in toll, Salieri rose her hands and a large gust of wind threw them into the air. The pirates were catapulted from the deck of the fleet’s vessel all the way to the deck of the Oasis. Salieri noticed one pirate unaccounted for and she waited until a young boy carrying a bundle of scrolls and a piece of machinery stepped onto the deck.
“We good?” She asked and the boy nodded. Salieri ditched the wheel, it was turning with the wind again and she snatched the back of the boy’s shirt. “Hold onto that stuff for dear life!” She ordered as she jumped over the edge of the ship with him and the wind threw them up and onto the deck of the Oasis as well.
“I’ll get you for this, Salieri!” The captain shouted at them and everyone around her was cheering. They’d made another score, there was a trunk full of gold and two with chains and heavy locks on them that they’d deal with a little later. Everyone was too busy with the gold and food to care for what they couldn't open. The fleet uniforms, a few maps, food, they got quite a bit of stuff today. The young boy handed Salieri a smaller scroll secretly and she took it, putting it on her belt, letting it sit beside her sword.
“Okay, guys. Let’s head home.” Salieri said as she approached the wheel and turned the ship hard to the left. She could see the young boy was curious, but she had to make sure this scroll was the real deal before she got the crew involved.
“You sure they won’t follow?” One asked as he was counting the gold coins in his hands. Salieri simply nodded, she would never let the sky fleet follow them. She saw the piece of machinery the boy had taken, it was small, but it was damn important.
“Junior took out their steering, we’re good.” Salieri replied and the ship pitched forward as she controlled the wind at the sails along the sides of the ship. They continued on in the sky, watching smaller ships avoid them, knowing who they were. Salieri owned these skies, no ship was safe. They passed a couple sky islands, aware more were on the way. “Can’t wait to get home.”

Among the islands on the way home for Salieri, was a pretty decent size one with plenty of mini oasis and edible fruit to be ate. Sitting off close to the island was an other pirate ship.
It was a pretty big ship that had mostly black,red,or gold trim around the ship. The flag was held high and was panted red.Upon it was two dragons intwinded around each other.One was a gold dragon then other was a black dragon. Upon the desk was panted a gold color and the main wheel knobs was those of a dragon's head. The ship seemed pretty empty and quiet for it to be full and loaded with canons,swords and other what not things a pirate would need. Not so much rum though .Sadly enough.
On the island sitting in the sand staring off in the distance was a young looking woman with long thick curle black hair and baby blue eyes. Her lips wore a pale pink color and she wore her hair up in a pony tail to keep the wind from slapping it around in her face. She wore a red corest and baggy white pants,white boots, and black biker like gloves on her hand and black goggles under her right hand.
(sorry people talking to me loseing my train of thought.I hope you can work with what I got..if not let me know ok. I haven't did a pirate one in awhile either so my writting for it is rusty and I haven't had the muse to write long in a long time..so...hope you can work with me on the length for now.Usuaully I write more as I go..I hope that's ok..everyones different..and some people are picker then others.)

Salieri sat back against the railing behind her, she was holding onto the wheel lazily, knowing home wasn't far off, but enough that they weren't going anywhere fast. She could see the crew were carrying what ever they could to the lower deck. When she was alone, she opened the scroll on her belt and her eyes lit up. "Another piece of the map," she whispered and shot up when she heard a tapping beside her. "Junior, what the hell!" Junior was standing behind her, his arms crossed.
"Well, what did I find?" He asked and Salieri smiled at him, patting his head. She handed the scroll to him as she dwelled on islands around her. This place was never to be trusted, the closer they got home, the greater the risk of rivals. He was really interested suddenly, "is this is?
"Another piece of the map," Salieri replied and he perked up, suddenly the rest of the crew was on deck. She sighed heavily, thank god, she didn't intend to keep it secret, everyone always needed to be in the loop. "My god, ears like a fox. Yes, that's what I said. Another piece of a map we've been looking for. We're one step closer."
"Sorry to interrupt, but we've got company!" Everyone looked over the side of the ship toward a sky island. They saw the ship before everything else, Salieri was relaxing against the railing again. She reached for her scope and look over through. It was indeed a pirate ship, but it was docked. The ship alone was larger than theirs, but Salieri saw no one on it. "We going to take it?"
"No, but we'll swing by. It might be abandoned, but it could also be a trap." Salieri replied and she turned the ship. Everyone went under again and came back up with muskets. She shook her head, she wasn't uneasy about this, but she was aware. As they came closer, she noticed the woman sitting on the sand. Everyone took aim at her, but she rose her hand. "Oi, what are you doing down there?!" Salieri shouted at her as she jumped up onto the railing along the ship, holding onto the ropes holding the blimp above.
(It's fine. It'll take me a little longer, but I can work with it. Please, I don't mind)

(ok cool)
The woman looked up at Salieri when she had called down to her and she had looked up at her and saw her and her crew with muskets pointed at her. She smiled however and didn't seem worried at all.
"What does it look like I'm doing"She said to Salieri"I'm relaxing on the beach sitting in the sand."She added as she moved a bit better you could see that she was wearing a dragon amulet necklace around her neck that looked like it was made out of pure gold.Her hand moved slightly to releive the goggles under her hand.
"Do I really look that dangerious for you to have your whole crew pointing muskets at me?"She asked.

Salieri's eye twitched with distaste at the reaction from the woman, she didn't reply right away, looking over at the ship docked along side the island. The crew didn't lower their weapons yet, but Salieri turned to look back at them. She spoke to them, not wanting this woman to hear her. "Get below deck and ready the cannons, I don't know if she's alone." Salieri replied and everyone nodded, disappearing to the lower deck. The ship was quiet, the boys below preparing the cannons. She then plopped herself on the railing, her legs dangling over the edge.
Salieri noticed the amulet off the bat and as much as she was tempted to steal it, the ship with her being larger than theirs made her unsure. Why would this woman be alone, in this area it was just foolish, especially if the Fleet came around. "How do I know that you're alone?" Salieri asked as she crossed her arms. She was tapping her finger impatiently on her arm, tempted to just take the ship. Weighing her odds, she had an advantage if she was alone, but then again. Was this woman.
"So, you're not headed to Massif?" Salieri asked, expecting the woman to be on their way to their home. The port took many ship and the city itself housed many pirate and civilians. It was peaceful there for a change, everyone tolerated each other since the pirates didn't sit still for long.

She smiled again"One might say that I am alone,but not one person is truely alone. "She said as she chocked her head at her slightly."No I'm not alone if you may ask."She added as she had stood up and dusted herself off to gaze up at the ship and Salieri.
"Massif nah I'm going much farther and since this island was alone for the moment I thought I would rest alone with no distractions in the way and what not. Might head there on the way back,but not looking to make port there soon.Why...you curious about me?"She asked her as she streached slightly "If you plan on attacking me I would warn you that it would be a mistake for you....for I can tell this is your baby and not just a rental"She said with a wink to her.

Salieri started laughing suddenly and it just couldn't stop. The ship she was sitting on at the moment was stolen. Her baby as she'd think was back at Massif being fixed. "Well, it's not a rental, you're right about that, but it's not my baby. Mine is back home, thank the sky fleet's elite force for this bad boy. You're right though, I'd hate to lose this baby. I'd lose some leverage the next time I need a bargaining chip." Salieri replied and the fact that this woman was going further intrigued her. She stood and started walking along the railing, keeping her balance.
"Good to hear you're not alone, never know what lives on those islands." Salieri winked back, remembering some of the jams they got into when trespassing on a larger monster's turf. Quite a few times, she's lost a man in the crew, but this woman looked like she could take care of herself. "Mighty fine piece of jewellery you got there around your neck, wouldn't want to see that disappear, huh?" It was an empty threat, the only thing that interested her at the moment was the map on her belt.

"Mmmm well at least it gets you where you need to go....it is a peice of work it is....and the fleet seems to get stronger and stronger with each passing year.I'm impressed"She said as she looked towards her ship."This is my baby I don't trust other ships for my runs...they don't have what I have or need....besides I like my colors..and I hate all others"She said and smiled.
When she said something about her necklace she rubbed the dragon part between her fingers and smiled."Ah not to worried about that.Besides there is more where I am going...and it wouldn't be what I wear around my neck that anyone would want to deal with."She added as it seemed something on her ship had moved slightly ,but then looked as if it was still in the same place.
"Kind of glad it's just me doing this..others tend to get greedy ..if you know what I mean..."She said as she put the goggles in her pocket and seemed to mess in her pocket for something as she had pulled it out and looked at it.It seemed to be a black stone of some sorts when she had smiled again."Must excuse me looks like my time to relax is over"She said to Salieri.

Salieri rolled her eyes, this woman wasn't getting any closer to her good side. The situation just didn't seem right, but the ship this woman owned looked nice, but again it didn't interest Salieri. She got what she wanted today, getting greedy just wouldn't make a great end to today. She jumped down from the railing to see a couple of her men approaching from below. "What is it?"
"We can't go home, the fleet's waiting for you there. Again." One said and she sighed heavily. "We have enough to fuel this thing to the next city, but flying the Oasis in fleet territory is going to draw their attention. Salieri grumbled, she really didn't like this new development and knew she had to choose fast. She looked back at the woman and leaned against the railing, resting her head on her hand. "Hey, dragon lady." Salieri called down, wanting her attention. "Where are you heading?" She asked as the others looked at her. If she couldn't go home, might as well have some fun.

The woman smile widended a bit."Where the treasure is of corse"She said to Salieri"Why you need a favor or something like that?"She asked her as she snapped her fingers and the ship lowered a ladder as she walked towards it.
She was curious though she hadn't had company in a long while and some real humans around seemed to feel her curious needs right now and give her someone to really talk to. She was alone,but wasn't alone. It was just the type of company she mastered that made her truely be alone. It took great skills to master the skill she had and it took even longer to master how to build a ship by hand and with the magical skills she had mastered. The ship had seemed to come alive with the simpliest touch and the power behind it seemed to linger in the air.She would wait for Salieri's answer before she boarded her own ship.
"So...what it be then?"She aked her curiously."By the way...the names Tes"She said.

"Not a favour, just a distraction." Salieri replied as the crew members went back under the deck. She could hear them walking around below her, but didn't know what they were doing. She saw her disadvantage when the ship was reacting on it's own. I'm definitely at a disadvantage and she wasn't interested in treasure except the mappings she was looking for. Two more to go and she'd never have to go back to Massif again.
So another magic user, and more skilled, Salieri was just hating this woman more and more. Jealousy, it wouldn't be the first time for her to feel that way, but then again she was usually the top dog. Not this time, she was pretty much in trouble if she made a stupid move. "Dragon lady sounds better," Salieri replied and she looked away from her. Salieri didn't want to admit it, but she could use a female friend. Even if it was temporary. She turned around again, smiling at Tes. "Sound like fun, we'll follow you?" She asked, not leaving her name just yet.

Tes nodded her head to her"Sounds like a plan to me and sure I am up for some fun. So are you going to Massif or passing it....?"She asked her curiously as she had begain to board her ship. She snapped her fingers again and boxes placed alone the deck of the ship had quickly opeed to revile skeletons of remains in the boxes. An other snap of the fingers and they had quickly came to life and begain to go to there posts they wore needed on the ship.
"I can deal with dragon lady"Tes aid with an other smirk."Be nice to know yours unless you just want me to call you spunk"She teased not many woman mastered there own ships let alone a pirate for the old lure of bad luck. Tes had found out that it is more good luck then bad.
She rubbed at her necklace again as she looked back over at the womans ship.

"We're passing Massif. I still have enough fuel for quite some distance." Salieri said as she tried to ignore the skeletons on Tes' ship. Talk about drawing attention to herself. Not many around here would like seeing her ship coming their way. She stomped her feet on the deck and the movement on the ship hastened. She grabbed the wheel and looked back at Tes.
"Spunk sounds good, just don't forget it." Salieri replied as the fires burned and rose the ship slightly. "Lead the way." Salieri motioned ahead of her, waiting for Tes to make her move. She expected this woman to know her way around these skies, but having her go first was probably smart with the larger ship. She watched Junior come back on deck as he handed the two other scrolls she'd found to her. "Thank you."
"You sure about this?" He asked and Salieri shrugged. "You really don't care."
"No adventure in suspicion, but a ton in curiosity." She replied and she grabbed the wheel again.

Tes nodded to her"Ok just tell me when and I'll wave ya off as I go in an other direction "She added as she contuined to walk the ship as she had turned the engines on to get the fans going behind the ship.
"Oh I wont forget it trust me.Not everday you come across a fellow female"She added as she fingered the stone she had pulled out of her pocket and sighed slightly."Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for"She told herself as she had stuck it back into her pocket. She would test the stone later to see if it worked to see if she was getting closer on what she needed it for or not.
She then walked over by the wheel and nodded her head towards Salieri as she waved her hand to her then begain to turn the wheel as the ship begain to move away from the island.

Salieri nodded to Tes and the ship flared into life as the thrusters started in the back. The only advantage of a fleet ship is the better technology, but then again it wasn't the best ship. She loved her own. "Can someone please get me my table," She asked simply as she was on the lower deck now. She watched a couple of them set it out and she stood there. She shook off Tes' comment and felt someone behind her. "What do you want?"
"Can we trust her? She's using skeletons, Captain. What if she tried to kill us?"She heard him ask and she looked over to the new ship. She didn't know if she could trust the woman, no wonder she didn't leave her name. "What happens if she tries to take the ship?"
"Pray," Salieri replied simply and he left her, afraid to push the conversation further. Salieri took the few maps on her belt beside her sword and placed them on the table, but didn't roll them out. She looked over at Tes again, crossing her arms. "So, where exactly are we heading?" She asked, not wanting to stray too far off her next target. She knew she couldn't collect her ship, but that also meant she couldn't collect a few of the more important items she possessed.

Tes looked over at Salieri and smiled softly."Well....past Massif at least....I'm going pretty far out of the way...very dangerious place in the sky...even some pirates are afraid to go there...I'm looking for something. "She added she wasn't going to tell her what till she was sure she could trust this female. She could already tell that her men wore uneasy with her being around and she was the same around them,well not really nervious,but she hoped they wasn't looking for the same thing she was.
It would make everything she had right now ten times more powerful and it was new tecnology she was working with that she needed what she was looking for.for. Besides a skeelton was just made out of bone what she was making was made out of tecnology metal and other such things she needed and she didn't need the fleet or other piriates knowing about what she had locked up down under the deck of her ship.

"Oh, we're going out to Farrow's Landing." Salieri just said bluntly, there was no reason to hide it anymore. Her next piece of the map would be there and even better, she'd have a second ship to help if the fleet found her. The thrill of the loot was her goal in life right now and she doubted anyone was looking for the ship she was after. No one thought it existed. "It's controlled by the Fleet, but we need something there." She said simply and everyone was looking at her weird. She gave them a look and they went back to work. She rolled out the map pieces she had and sighed some. Why would the map be split up? She wondered, but seeing as the pieces didn't even match probably made people think these were something a crazy person drew.
"Sounds to me like you're leaving the charted skies. You're right, you could run into anything out there. At least your friends on deck don't seem to mind." She joked as she looked over at one of the chain up trunks still on deck. She thought she'd heard something, but ignored it, going back to looking over the map piece. "I'm missing something important, there's got to be a reason they don't match." She muttered to herself.
"Captain, you're spilling your guts. Stop talking." Another said and she chuckled. These guys were so nervous around any woman of power. Yeah, Tes looked powerful, showed her the abilities she had with her ship. She didn't blame the humans on deck for fearing her. Salieri only focused on her wind magic so the rest of her abilities weren't as devastating as they could be.

Tes smiled slightly and nodded her head to Salieri"Sounds like fun.I also hope you find what your looking for there. The fleet is a big pain in the ass really. There just mad that there not as smart as us pirates because they don't know how to read the skies like we do huh?"She joked with her.
"Yeah only for a little while.I will never give it up.I just need to go to other parts to get what I need.It's been a great adventure so far and not to many people are used to..this"She said as she pointed to one of the skeleton crew she had."I was born like this...and the damn fleet want to know why..."She muttered as she turned the wheel as she headed to Farrow's Landing so the girl she meet could stop there and get what she needed. She was wondering if they was looking for the same thing. She sure hoped not and she also hoped if they was it wouldn't cause a problem for her. She knew this treasure was rare and unheard of and then there was ones that knew about it,but of the gold and other what not treasure and not the stones. Which was what she was after. She didn't need the gold there she was hunting after something that was way more worth her while.
One of the sksleton crew had came up to her after awhile and lend towards her to whisper something in her ear and her face changed to a bit of an aggervating tone,but she nodded her head to him and whispered something back into he's ear.

"Basically, I don't see what you're looking for, but what I want is in possession of the Fleet." Salieri chuckled as she moved another piece and the map straightened up again. Her crew members were glancing at it as they passed by and she noticed it was rather off. It was like the ink had faded or something. She sighed heavily and she thought she heard a thump again. She looked over at the two locked chest and looked them over. She heard a bang in one and she looked over at the rest of the crew. "Someone get me a metal saw from below?" She asked and one of them ran down into the lower deck.
"I never pegged them for caring about what people were. You must be something special." Salieri replied as she took the saw as it came close. She started to cut through the chain and it dropped to the ground. Before she could open the chest, a little ball of light burst from inside, flying around the ship and then to Tes' crashing into one of the skeletons only to fly back and crash into the wheel on Salieri's and then crashing on the ground. Before the crew could crowd the little light, Salieri scooped it up and put it on her table. A moment later, the light took form and a little fairy was sitting on a scroll case.
"I see even the Sky fleet is doing some illegal stuff," Salieri said as she looked closely at the little fairy. It's amber light almost faded completely and it just sat there, afraid to actually move, but she went back to her map like the fairy wasn't actually there. "What's your opinion of the Sky Fleet? Corrupt or just stupid?"

"If they still have it that is....,but good luck with it nevertheless"Tes aid as she had smiled at her and noticed as she had said something to the crew members and watched as they cut a box free and a ball of light had exploded from the box running into one of her sksletons almost knocking it ove and then to the wheel of ehr friends ship before finally crashing to the ground. She had to admit she was surpized at what it was,but then again not no surpized.
Tes nodded as she had looked at her friend. or she could remain that way."Corrupt"She said as she had her back turned to the ship and the crew as she had lowered her shirt slightly to revilve whip marks and other cuts and stuff that they did to her,but that was just her back.Before she pulled ehr shirt back up all the way."Like I said...there after more magic.....and they wont stop till there stronger then us"She said as she had heard a crash come from below her ship and she cursed under her breath as she had quickly turned the ship sharpy."Get the damn thing under controll"She snapped at her crew.Which was skeletons and one had quickly went below deck.
