@NocturneAlley

raid hype!! (and also its no big deal this is your crew on your time, harry potter headcannons are so worth imo)

Asherah coiled herself easily around one of the small masts on the ship, waiting irritably for the duel to begin so she could finish it. Her large eyes scan the horizon, wishing more then anything she could be under the choppy waves searching for loot.

Neptune glides silently over the small gaggle of spectators who have gathered to witness the final duels. He lands with a soft thud and draws his cutlass from his place at his side. He has thought long and hard about how he was going to approach this battle, but in the end decided having no plan of attack would be better against the erratic Spiral. He pauses, listening to the sound of the early morning waves crashing against the ships hull.

Asherah beings to unwrap herself from the post, he movements are calculated and fluid. Having relied on her intelligence and instincts, she never bothered to carry a weapon. Baring her needle sharp teeth, she begins to circle Neptune, looking for a weakness, a drop in his defense that she can utilize her to advantage. Her body length whips back and forth, she picks up speed and dodges in quickly to bite has her opponents exposed flesh. Drawing a little blood she darts back out before sustaining any injures.

The Nocturne blinks, but otherwise doesn't move. He is watching her patterns trying to get a feel for her natural flight rhythm. The blood pools and slides down his shoulder, but still he ignores it. Inhaling deeply to steady his grip, Neptune hurls himself at Asherah. His blade flashes and the Spirals lets out a cry of pain as she crashes to the deck floor. He had done it! In one move, he had managed to damage not just one, but two of Asherah's wings.

Her tattered membranes ooze blood as she attempted to get back up. The worst possible thing that could happen has and now she is unsure if she can actually continue to fight. What if he does more damage? What if its permanent? What if she's never able to fly again? She begins to fret and stress over the possibilities. Twisting herself into an actual knot, she realizes too late she has fallen right into the Nocturne's trap and basically handed him the duel without much of a fight. Unable to do much else, she uses a few quick spell to stem the blood flow and keep the injuries on her wings from completely disabling her. It'll take a few weeks, but she'll be able to fly again. Accepting the loss, nods in defeat to her opponent. Asherah, with the help of a few bystanders, leaves the boat and heads for the nearest healer to help untangle herself.

Neptune, feeling a little let down by the lack of excitement, yawns loudly. "I'm sorry your duel was not up to your hopes for adventure." Neptune blinks slowly as he faces his Quartermaster. Morgiana meets his eyes steadily, "You accuracy is remarkable. To take down an opponent in one well calculated move, that is something I look forward to seeing more of. Welcome to our crew, Striker Neptune. Follow me, please." Leading him into the ship, Neptune sheaths is cutlass and follows silently.

The large Snapper slowly made his way to the cleared area where the previous duels had been fought. His beady eyes squinted in the mid-afternoon sun. He placed his leg very methodically, preparing to drop down in defense at the first attack.

Starling didn't draw his weapon. He had decided upon a much different tactic then he had seen in the other duels. Sitting back on his haunches and pulling a piece of worn looking paper from his jacket, he began to examine it in earnest. Occasionally, a hum of surprise or a small bubble of laughter escaped him as he read whatever it was on the paper.

His curiosity getting the better of him, Argider shuffled forward a few steps, attempting to peek over the edge to see what the Wildclaw was reading. When he noticed, Starling shifted slight to block the Snapper's view. Looking up wth a grin, he asked "Would you like to know a very strange piece of information, Argider?" Although the stout dragon said nothing, Starling continued. "See, this is a very old piece of history. Written, some say, by the Earthshaker himself! It says here that the original intention was for his creation, the Snapper breeds, to have buoyancy in the water. Allowing them to travel across oceans in search of information!"

Pausing to let this sing in, Starling gave an encouraging smile to Argider. The Snapper's brow furrowed in confusion. Slowly plowing through the massive amount of information stored in his mind of the many years of gathering. Nothing he could remember seemed to recall this being true. With a look of equal amounts of distrust and curiosity, Argider looked back at Starling.

The Wildclaw grinned once more, knowing the most crucial part of his plan was about to unfold. "You know," he said with a twinge of excitement in his voice, " if you were to test it out and prove it true, generations and generations would remember your accomplishment! It would open a whole other world for future Snapper's to discover the secrets of the deep ocean."

Argider had forgotten the duel completely. Too intrigued by this new information, he began to make his way to the edge of the ship. Peering into the water below, he inhaled deeply and heaved himself over the side.

He couldn't believe it! It actually worked!! Scrambling up from the deck of the ship, Starling hovered over the edge and looked below. He was greeted by a pair of wide eyes full of anger, struggling beneath the water's surface.

The Snapper couldn't believe he had fallen for such a stupid trick! Of course he couldn't float! His body weight was much to great! And like an idiot, he had jumped to what was obviously his doom! He continued to struggle, but that only seemed to be making himself sink faster. His chest was on fire from lack of oxygen and his vision began to darken. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he heard a faint splash and then the world went dark.

Morgiana and ordered Neptune and a few others to jump into the water and save the drowning dragon. She looked back at Starling and with a grin, extended her paw. " That was a heck of a way to win a duel. Sometimes words can be more effective then actually fighting. I hope your silver tongue is smooth enough to get us a low price on wood. You will follow me below deck so I can show you the crew's bunk and then you will get to work repairing our mainmast. Welcome aboard, Carpenter Starling." With that she turned to help drag the Snapper ashore and make sure his was alright.
