THE PLOT

Through a terrible storm, shipwreck, or simply the inability to fly any longer over such expansive waters, you awaken aboard the deck of a small ship, your head aching and recent memories hazy. Your ankles and wrists have been bound in common rope, and longer lengths of that same rope are used to pin your wings tightly to your sides.

Though others may be present, two dragons seem to stand out in particular. Both blue-toned Mirror dragons, both dressed for seafaring life. The smaller of the two Mirrors doesn’t seem to be much older than a hatchling, but bears an abundance of scars, and idly scratches the deck with a metallic claw as he stares with obscured eyes at those bound there, from under a skull mask that may or may not be that of another Mirror. His wings are like tattered black sails and some sort of pick is wound around his waist with a black cord, seemingly an additional weapon to accompany his already clawed gloves. A blue bandana with an aquatic pattern adorns his head and his modest attire is complete with a pair of white loose breeches. The larger of the pair, though not by terribly much, is likewise covered in scars- mostly concentrated on her forelegs. She is vibrant, compared to the youngling’s duller hues, and would be rather pretty if not for the scars, and the manic look in her eyes. Evidently the captain of this shoddy ship, she wears a tattered coat and plumed tricorn cap, a typical corsair’s style- aside from also donning a pair of clawed gloves, and a wild mask crafted from the skull of a Skydancer and feathers as bright as her four eyes. She stands at the helm of the ship, wings loosely unfurled as she gently guides it through the water.

She’s often seen looking through books and maps, scurrying all about the ship to keep track of their location to the best of her ability. She may be allowed a fair deal of freedom due to her dedication in keeping the ship from danger… but this is certainly more out of self-preservation than loyalty to the intimidating crew. An odd habit one may be able to catch, is that the fae never flies and keeps her wings shut and close to her body at all times.

The only reason she was taken was because of the fact that she was trying to make sure the hatchlings were safe.

Nacre couldn't answer those important questions so she traveled the world to get the perspectives she was missing. She has since learned a lot over the years making her a little wise and she pretends to be more naive then she is as a defense-mechanism.

(An old fart but would never admit it) Summary: Rotberg is a long-lived pirate, which some would argue is very rare. That's because he's more of a pirate actor than a true user of the profession. He noticed that dressing up like a pirate kept others away which suited him just fine and since he didn't have a bounty on his head rarely did anyone bother him about it. Rotberg also does know a great deal about the open water--since he can't fly. And he can be scary, the beast clans know his name well as he loves loves LOVES to steal, specifically from mer-folk.

(Right.I’ll do that.)

Yang groaned as she woke up on a wooden floor in what might as well have been a prison cell and found herself unable to move. It didn’t take long for her to notice the ropes and realize that she was not back at her clan. Instead, she was on a ship in the middle of the sea and dozens of miles away from her home. She tried in vain to break the ropes and was only left more exhausted for her efforts. “Is anyone out there?” Her silk apparel was untouched, so that was something at least.
