Shadow pirates

Silver smiled up to him and pressed her lips to the large mans and let her hands press against his chest as he fingers dug into him a little as if pawing at him. His hands squeezed her ass tighter as he pulled her closer she didn’t groan or anything she just accepted this as what it was a business transaction. Breaking the kiss she smiled. “You should meet the one I want to bring a long he will be of a great help to us on our journey since you do so much deep sea fishing.” She then Raised her hand and waved to Seth calling him over and smiled. “This is a man I sailed with he actually saved my life and this has allowed me to come to you.” she smiled trying to appease the large man to explain that things where fine that he helped her so she was helping him.
“You mean this little man saved your laugh you sure you didn’t save his.” He chuckled then looked to the shovel. “that shovel wont be much use to you on the high seas son but you can sail with us once she proves her worth.”
She kept that smile on her face as her eyes told him to just let it be, granted her eyes also told him that she was not happy about doing this. “Oh you wont know what hit you.” She winked more at Seth but towards the captain she was currently up against. The captains hands where still on her ass. She needed to at least get them onto the ship and out to sea before she would let him do anything but for now this was their best option to try catch up with their captain.
-
Seth kept grinning closing his eyes seemingly without a care in the world on his face. However, for some reason, Seth has a very tight grip on his shovel as she kisses him. Not out of jealousy, but out of the simple fact that this is not right to him. Still. He walks over when he opens his eyes and Silver motions him over. When the man comments on Seth’s shovel, Seth rather fakely laughs “Oh you would be surprised! There are many uses for this thing.” Seth didn’t care about the insult to his height, with his being around 6 ‘2. Normally he would actually find someone commenting on his size actually funny. But Seth did pretty well visually to hide his dislike for the man.
Seth opened his eyes and Silver’s look did calm him, a little. Seth had that same smile. Though his eyes were murderous. Seth was going with this for right now. Though he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to go. He did not like the thought that most like Silver will have to “prove her worth” before they even set foot on the ship. Seth was not very sure he could go through with allowing her to do this. He did however keep his cool and kept that same smile he always had. Not bothering to take a deep breath in front of the captain or reveal his reluctance.
-
Silver closed her eyes as the captain guided her through the town and to the ship the men all eyeing her like a piece of meat. She kept telling herself they had to catch up they couldn’t do it on that ship with just the two of them. She disappeared with the captain and hours went by if Seth was at the dock right near the ship he could hear the sounds of what was going on. Soon she emerged adjusting her belt then that one glove. She reached up and smoothed her hair and walked over to the edge of the ship away from the town and stared out into the vast ocean.
The captain came out a bit later in a more disheveled appearance almost wearing it like a badge of honor to what he had done and looked over to Seth and smirked. “Welcome aboard” was all he said as the men that had been guarding the ramp up to the ship stepped aside to let Seth on. The Captain walked up behind Silver and wrapped his arms around her. “When you aren’t working you will still be working are we clear.”
Silver stayed still as he came up behind her and swallowed down the vomit that came up and forced that seductive smile on her face. “As you wish captain.” Was all the young woman could say she then slipped away from him and set to helping one man with the fishing gear being more efficient then the crewmen that had been assigned to do this task since they started.
-
Seth could not stand there, the entire time. So he leaves to go get some things. “Aye aye…Sir!” Seth said with his shovel as he carried a large crate onto the ship as he looked at Silver he sat the crate down, Seth’s smile rather fake as he looked at her for a brief moment then turned to her. He was wrapped in his own thoughts, but she must be as well. Seth wanted to speak but later. For now he said.
“Well Sir!” Seth said boisterously as he smirked at him as he walked to the front of the ship stepping on the wall, looking forward. “Let us set sail!” Seth stared out into the ocean in front of him. He remembered some time ago. A few months ago when he first met the Captain, and he would be laughing as they went forward. Seth could smile. But he did not laugh as he looked out from the front of the ship on the ocean, one foot foot on the front wall of the ship. As he leaned forward onto his knee taking a moment to take in the salty air once more.
-
Silver felt the captain go with Seth as she worked and sighed hearing him give the order to sail. The crew pulled anchor and they set sail. Traveling out to sea Training started as did everything else as the time passed she helped the crew catch larger and better fish teaching the crew this is whenever the captain wasn’t monopolizing her time. By the time the crew reached Beratie 32 days had passed and Silvers demeanor had changed substantially. She came walking out of the captains chambers her face looking like she didn’t care anymore like the spark of sailing on the open ocean was gone. She put a smile on though as soon as she saw Seth and spoke as light heartedly as she could. “We are almost Halfway to our destination won’t be long now. I just hope we haven’t missed her.” Though her voice sounded a bit empty and hollow it still held that excited tone that she had when they had first met. As they pulled up to the large ship and took port she quickly hurried off the ship and slipped into the dinner and sat at a table in the middle figuring it was safer to be in the open at this point.
-
Seth had a lot of spare time on the ship. Seth made productive use of his time his time. He trained like he always did. Though there wasn’t much on the ship to train with strength wise. He could lift the entire thing and even throw it some distance. Most of what he did was training and much thinking and drawing on his down time. He thought to the point that he wouldn’t even notice overexerting himself at times.
Much of his thoughts revolved around his crewmate. Someone who he thought of as a sort a smaller sister really. And seeing her turn into a husk was boiling him. Had he not constantly trained his body to exhaustion so often he would likely have torn the ship itself apart.
He spoke to Silver, and she told him it was for the captain. Seth let her do it for some time because she choose to, but he was seeing less and less reason to proceed like this and was frustrates that he didn’t know how to deal with this and if it was truly wrong. Seth wasn’t very used to having many friends. Because he spent his whole life training to prove people wrong. When Seth had his right hand. He could hardly move it properly. The fist was so heavy doing day to day tasks with it were hard. But he wanted to catch up with his hand. And eventually his right arm became stronger than the average person’s. Day in and day out he would train throughout his life, since he was a child. But. With all he did, Seth had little time to have true friends. Training always had taken priority. When Seth was confronted with this. He had no idea what to do. He saw it has her choice and as something necessary. But it still did not feel right to him. He would smile to Silver and at times try to train with her and speak occasionally. But not much unless she spoke to him. Seth did what he always does when he angry or frustrated. Train.
It was actually hard at first. Training with such anger when he was alone to truly vent. Seth had much of raw strength, speed and power like he wanted, but this anger made him unable to focus and skillfully channel it. He failed at some precision and cutting exercises with his training.
Eventually however. Whenever Seth rested and thought. After 20 days. He learned to channel his anger. Seth did an exercise he called plucking for his hand speed. His right hand was strong, heavy and solid. While his left was strong, fast and precise. And so. Seth started for every night for 5 days, he would take 100 or so leaves. And throw them into the air. Seth would them proceed to in a snapping punch like motion with much precision, try to catch all of them before they would hit the ground. Eventually Seth could throw 40 punches in a single second. He could catch all the leaves before they hit the ground with just his left hand. His right hand did not close fast enough to do this effectively. He moved on to throw 70 or so faster falling fruit in the air. And after about a 5 days of repeated failure he could catch them all before they even hit the ground as well. He had many supplies he stored in his crate to practice with.
Seth worked on generating wind with his Shovel soon. Moving his left arm so swiftly that he could even cut things at a distance like swordsman. He had practiced this on land. Using it to cut thick trees down in a single stroke. Right now. He used it to cut fruit. If he succeeded. He would eat it.
Not only this. But Seth made his own move, unique mostly to his shovel. As opposed to always using razor wind. He also had blunt wind. He used the flat part and swung it. Generating wind much like a man. It was less lethal and used mostly to smack his targets. It was strong enough to send parts of wood away and even shatter or cause it to snap if Seth tied a plank down from the crate. He was careful not to damage the ship. And as a shadow pirate. He began to take up sneaking. Seth did not like the idea of backstabbing. Though he did lime the idea of evading people. Going past shields to reach an objective. He usually did this when he was able to walk.
He would rest in the morning or evening. And spend much of his free recovery time sleeping, drawing and eating while at the same time he learned from watching the crew how the ship was run.
Still even after all this, Seth’s anger had never truly left. And neither did his thoughts around his crewmate and captain. Its what fueled him. She came up to him and told him and told him with a faint smile their journey was almost half-way finished. Seth had a rock in his human left hand “Aye…” He said to her smiling at her trying to look reassuring. “Won’t be too long now…” Seth then looked to the ocean after she left. He then crushed the rock into dust. And then it occurred to him. What would the captain do? What would luffy do? Would he allow this?
Seth then decided this would stop. He felt almost like Silver was a sister. Someone for him to watch over now. She was young and this choice wasn’t right. The Captain of this ship was going to die. The only question wasn’t when this would stop. It was going to stop right now. The question going through Seth’s mind was when would he die and by who’s hands? Seth then learned something he wouldn’t pick up by merely training the body. How to plot.
Seth planned for when night fell and the captain was asleep. He would sneak into his quarters. Even if a crewmate by some small chance was in there guarding him, Seth would knock him out before he even knew was going on. Either way. Seth would appear next to the captain. Standing over him. Then grab his throat with his right hand. As he would then turn hold the fatman up like he was doll above the ground, off his feet. He could hardly breathe and definitely couldn’t call for help. The man wasn’t even close enough to anything to knock it over.
“We need to talk, Sir.” Seth said looking up at the man with a dark look in his eyes. “I am sick and tired of you. And tired of your agreement. I care not for it all.” Seth had his voice low. “I never want to see you so much as tap Silver on the shoulder again. So help me I will strip you down, chop you arm off, bend you over and shoved your entire arm so far up your anus that it will come up the other side through your throat. I do not wish to see you even breath her air for too long.” Seth crushed even more as he clearly meant that last statement. He could break this man’s neck like a twig. Exert hundreds of tons of pressure onto his neck. He crushed more but not enough to break him. Then loosenened his grip as he is about to pass out. He holds him there. And then he says.
“Not a word to this to your crew. We are to proceed on course until we reach Logia town. Then we are to part. One word to them and you die. Then I become the Captain and I will kill your crew if I must. Do you understand?”
Seth loosens his grip enough for him to breath no. “Do we understand?” Seth repeated. If he agrees Seth drops him. If not he keeps holding him. “My patience grows thin.”

Silver sat at the table talking with the marine as time passed not understanding why someone was concerned with her. As they spoke mention of her wings came up and she pulled them in as best she could. “I’m sorry if my appearance bothers you. I actually am not happy with myself as I am just a toy for others amusment.” She stated and then got up as another marine walked by and grabbed her ass and squeezed it she quickly whipped around wrapping her arm around his neck and behind him over pulling him down. With her knee in his cut his neck almost broken as the other marines drew guns on her and she held a murderous intent in her eyes.
The Captain jumped with a start as he was lifted and his throat clenched he tried to scream but all that came out was a gasp of air. Pain ran through his body as he was held above his bed he wanted to be angry with how he was spoken to but he was scared for his life his hands coming up and gripping the man’s wrist. Once the hand loosened he spoke. “I promise I won’t touch her again I won’t even look at her.” He sounded scared then he made a snide comment. “anyways I have had my fun with her she’s boring now anyways.” He was pushing the mans resolve as he hung there in the air.
Silver breathed and her wings shot out and her arms came out as she dropped the man as he rolled off her knee holding his gut. She stood up and held her hands in the air. “He touched me in an inappropriate manor for your kind he needed to understand that this was not okay. I think he has learned his lesson.” The marine at her feet was coughing and nodding though not dead or near death any more he was scared and gasping for air he was pushing himself away from her. “That bitch is crazy Arrest her.”
-
Seth stared at the wall, contemplating something. Thinking he should have acted sooner, and come to this conclusion already. He had a blank look on his face and then dropped the Captain and then walked away out of his Cabin.
It was some time after and Seth did feel somewhat satisfied, however not truly so. What he did could not repair the damage done, and Seth seemed to know, that it never may be repaired. He was powerless to be able to do anything about what had happened in the past. However, Seth was always one to look towards the future. They reached a port soon and Seth went off to go somewhere to buy a few things. Mainly things to make traps. He believed Silver would be fine as he stayed near by. He dropped the tools and raw materials in the area he stayed on the ship and went to find silver.
Seth smirked as he found they were all raising guns at her while he walked in, with his shovel in his other hand. A marine backing away from her, calling her a crazy bitch. “What have we here?” Seth didn’t really think Silver did anything wrong. “Why do you point weapons at my friend?” He says this actually rather loudly to garner all their attention for a moment. In case silver wanted to do something.
-
Standing in the center of the Marines she breathed and waited for them to arrest her for her assault. as her mind flicked from scenario to scenario. It seemed all of them ended with her getting used and abused. When gravedigger appeared she said nothing in fact she didn’t even open her eyes on hearing him as two marines closet to him turned to him with guns trained on him. “We suggest you move along this woman is under arrest for assaulting a Marine.” Hearing their words a female Marine came up and looked at the woman. “I’m going to take your wrist and move it behind your back okay.” Silver simply nodded as the woman slowly cuffed her and she let her wings drop and sag in defeat. “I will be fine Seth. Will catch up when I can you go find our friend Leave me notes on where you are going. I will follow and catch up as quickly as i can.” She didn’t want him getting into this it was her problem not his and she had done this to herself she had to pay for the sins of her past as everyone did. She was escorted out of the restaurant and towards one of the marine ships.
The female Marine stayed with her to keep the men off as she took Silvers claims seriously but was doing her duty. “Ms. Can I ask where I will be taken a trial at sea is a farce we both know this.”
The female Marine smiled at her. “It will be held at sea but this is not the first time someone has claimed this against him I will not let him get away with it this time.” she smiled and took silvers hands and squeezed them to re assure her.
“I was heading the Louge Town is there any way we could get me there?” She asked the Marine.
The marine smiled and chuckled. “That is where we are headed so it should all be good. ”
The two marines that had trained on Seth actually escorted him with them. “if you are with her you can testify for her during the trial since you are the only party that can stand for her.” it seemed as though these marines where being decent though it was not normal for pirates to be treated this way but none knew that it was them and they kept it quite so on they went.
-
Seth was prepared to beat the marines senseless, however he opted not to. Deciding to go along with what his friend said, partially. He was hard headed, and more stern. He would not abandon his friend. He began to plot again. Walking and then deciding to follow the marines and Silver. Stowing some supplies on himself.
Before he left however. He dove in the water and swam to the sea captain ship that he threatened and then from under water he punched several holes in it causing it to sink. Seth wanted to end the man, but he did not want to be the one to do it. He tore off parts of the ship with his hands and made it virtually unrepairable. Perhaps the captain of that ship silver knew may suspect him, but he saw nothing. When he got back to the marine ship was already off. So far away it could hardly be seen. Seth however swam after it anyway catching up with it, traversing half a mile in 2 minutes. He climbed up the side of it, put his shovel between two planks and held on with his mechanical hand. His grip would not get tires as he simply hung there on the rear side of the ship. He paused for some time, having really not much of a plan. He had heard how the marines were talking about her and he decided on killing them all. However. He heard a voice through a tiny hole the ship. The voice of Silver and a woman.
What they said, ultimately made Seth change his previous plan completely. When night fell. He simply snuck about the ship. Stealing food and putting it in his pockets. The just hanging onto the side of the ship with his mechanical hand. It won’t get tired and he even falls asleep like that eventually. Hanging, holding his shovel and dangling in the air. He required no bed. Perhaps later he would stow away among the cargo and draw. It was a good thing his sketchbook was water proof.
-
The click of boots on the deck of the large ship and restaurant brought life to the silent world that the young woman was in and the smell of salt was pungent in the air and filled her nostrils swirling in her senses bringing her world back into focus. Silver felt the spray of the ocean water as it hit her face ever so softly creating small beads of water that clung to her skin and left a soft almost glittered appearance to her when the sun hit just right to illuminate the small bits of water that had gently rested upon her smooth flesh. Her gold eye’s seemed dull as they cast there gaze down as the two walked and talked she didn’t have much left to say so continued to walk in silence watching each plank of the deck pass under her feet tell they reached the ramp and took a deep breath. She was a pirate and yet they didn’t even know it so she was going to leave it at this as her mind wondered how to explain it if it even came up but she wasn’t sure how or why it would they arrived on a fishing boat. Then the lids of her eyes feel and sealed the light out as she remembered the cost it had been to get them here. As the act’s she had done replayed behind sealed lids, a single tear slipped from the inside corner of her face and rolled down leaving a wet trail down her face once the tear reached her lips they parted and she took in a soft breath letting the tear hit her tongue as the taste of salt and ocean hit her tongue a long breath escaped her lips as the taste faded and she realized the reason she had done this and pushed so far. Silvers lids slowly opened revealing her dull gold eyes as she realized she had started moving again. When she stepped onto the deck of the ship she would now be riding on a salty wind picked up bring the soft scent of the ocean across her senses again. The breeze moved her hair as it softly blew in the wind the strands seemed the be like silver thread dancing in the light, as the breeze died down her hair came and rested softly against her back.
Ducking down as they traveled below deck the stairs where narrow and she was careful to watch her step as the marines traveled her through and brought her to the brig though she was no criminal they knew of she had attacked one and thus would be waiting in the brig tell trial. The guard stepped up and moved into place by the cell door and produced the key and opened it and jerked the cell door open and a loud clang as it broke free from having not been used in so long. She looked to the male that held the key and sighed fighting the urge to attack him as she would be caged just as she was on the other ship. Granted this was more a physical cage and she was more open to move around on the other ship this was no different locked away and trapped by a male. She halted and stared into the cell. The woman with her squeezed her arm and then stepped into the cell and sat down with a soft smile. she folded her hands on her lap and looked to silver with a soft smile.
“I will stay in here with you if that will make your stay easier but we need to keep you in here tell the trial its the rules we cant risk you attacking a member of our crew.” Silver sighed and pulled her whips off her hips as the guns came up quickly then she put them both in one hand. Looking down one of the barrels of the guns she thought about attacking as it would be a quick end to the torment and destruction of her soul and heart. She took a deep breath and hung the whips on the end of the rifle instead. Their weight caused the barrel to drop but he quickly lifted the rifle to a more steady hold getting his aim back. She then walked quietly into the cell bowing her head to get inside then took a seat beside the marine that had said she would stay in there. The guard stared at her for a few moments before he realized she was serious about staying in there with her. He then closed the cell and placed the key in and locked it then walked over and took a seat at his desk hooking the keys back onto his belt. He started to flip through paper work and log in silvers arrival and the fact that a member of their crew had chose to stay in the cell with her tell the trial was set. He got up and left the two alone so he could go use the head.
The Marine that stayed in the cell looked to Silver and smiled softly. “I understand if you don’t want to talk about it but we are safe here and it is just the two of us.” She had a soft smile and a warm heart. She then reached up and let her hair down pulling her hat off and set it between them as if putting some sort of barrier between the two of them. “My name is Destinee. Its nice to meet you. We are stuck in here together they will not let me out tell the trial is set or I am needed for information on the trial.” She said this tel basically assure the young woman that they would be cell mates for the length of this voyage or at least tell the trial.
Silver took a deep sigh and looked to the Marine. “My name is Silver it is nice to meet you, but I do not know you well enough to discuss these matters with you save to say I was abused 6 times a day for over two weeks.” She sighed a tear hitting her eye as she realized just how much she hated herself for what she had done. The captain she was after meant that much to her though she had to keep reminding herself of this that Tanakami meant that much and was worth any amount of suffering she would have to go through. She remembered laying in the captains quarters injured and dying. She sighed and closed her eyes before she turned them back to the marine. “I’m trying to get to my captain it was the only way to get this far. I would of let it continue longer if it meant making it to Louge Town. it is where she said she was going and that is where I am heading.” Casting her eyes back down she stared at her black boots.
Maranda’s face grew sad as she heard Silver speak of the fact of the abuse that she had been receiving on her trip that they had already made and the fact of how often it happened this bothered her greatly as this woman had only attacked to defend herself and protect herself from being injured since she was no longer trapped on a boat with her assailant. She wasn’t sure how to explain this to the young girl she was speaking with then she had to ask as she was curious. “Can I ask how old you are?” Her eyes looked hopeful but a fear filled her eyes as she sat there beside Silver.
Looking to Maranda Silver thought about lying but instead she just nodded in response to her question and sat in silence for a while before she spoke softly in almost a whisper. The words that came out of her mouth were choked as she realized what she had done finally. “I am sixteen, and was a virgin tell that voyage.” Tears trailed down silvers face as she sat there staring at her boots again not liking that the woman was seeing her like this. She had cried many times these past few weeks while on that dreadful ship with that awful man that called himself a captain.
Maranda didn’t even think before she acted she just hugged the young girl for what had happened to her. Making a soft shh sound as she could hear the quite weeping Silver had began doing and just held her tell she quieted down. Slowly Maranda pulled back and rubbed the young woman’s lower back. “When the guard returns I will inform him that the ship you where on needs to be commandeered and that the captain is under arrest for assault and torture.” Falling silent she now just let the two sit in silence.
The guard came back in and looked to the two and shook his head. “Are you two going to..” Maranda held her and up and walked to the bars. “Don’t even say it.” She said looking to the man and waved him over. “The ship that young woman came on I need you to arrest its captain on charges of assault and torture. Consider him a pirate and armed and dangerous.” The guards eyes got wide and nodded and rushed out to gather a group of Marines to go raid the ship that Silver had come on.
-
Seth listened, a he sighed and shook his head, feeling horrible for his ship mate. He smirked when he learned that she would be calling for the arrest of the ship captain. Though Seth sunk his ship, it would be likely he would go to the marines, and would probably be arrested ironically. Seth was not one who believed fate, or that things were written, but he could not help but ponder if this was meant to happen. His eyes furrowed at the thought. He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to the Captain he spared. Would Silver get to confront him? He wanted her to choose his fate. Not him, nor the marines. He determined to give her that chance. He fell asleep after a bit, as he wanted to wake up later that night/
He woke up eventually, hanging from shovel lodged in his ship. His eyes opening. His face looking a bit weathered from the lack of shelter. Healthy as the man was, he couldn’t hang there the entire time. He cracked his neck and flung himself up by using his arm to launch himself up to the edge of the ship. Where he grabs the edge of the ship with his human hand and pulls himself up slightly to peak up. He looks about the two ends of the ship sharply. It’s clear so he vaults up. And onto the edge of the ship lightly. He puts his shovel away and assumes a cautious stance to sneak.
He prowled the deck of the ship and opted to instead. Most people were asleep right now, though there were still some people out and about. It was quiet. Seth listened to get a general location of where on the ship some people were. Seth snuck about, staying clear of the quarters of the ship, and opting to go into the ship’s storage instead. It was dark and he felt around and found a lantern to use, that he turned on. There were many crates around and the spacing would be tight for a man like him. But after quietly shifting some things around, he managed to find a nice area at behind some non food crates for him to hide. An open space up against the wall. He took the lantern and found a spare, leaving it in place of that one. Then he climbed the mound a crates, his head sliding against the ceiling as he quietly lands on the other side out of sight. Where he then turns the lantern off and starts eating some fruit and bread he carried with him, before it parishes…

As time passed it had been almost a week they had been on the sea and the female Marine that was with her was removed from her cell she was now alone with the male guard and he got this devious look on his face. She shrunk back into the corner of the cell and wrapped her arms around her knees and her wings around her to hide her body and now all that was visible of her was her head and she watched the guard. Many hours passed and the guard tried nothing but had stared and leered at her the whole time granted she was as hidden as she could make herself. Several more hours passed and the female Marine came back in her class A uniform and asked that she stand up and stay at the back of the cell. Silver stood and left her wings covering her body while she watched and waited. The female opened the cell and took the bindings from the two men that where with her and slipped her hands under the woman’s wings and clasped them on her wrists. Then lifted her hands out from the wings to show that she was bound. She was then escorted through the ship tell they made it to the main deck where it appeared a tribunal had been convened. “I take it this is the Trial.” she noted that only the one female was here the rest where males.
She saw the man she had nearly killed for touching her and stepped further away from him. Maranda watched her as she realized what was going on with her and she touched her wing softly. “Sit he is not allowed to come over you are safe.” she whispered. The trial then commenced opening statements where made witnesses called granted it seemed there where more witnesses then what where actually there called to say she attacked with out just cause. she bowed her head figuring things where over she got called to the stand and she moved hiding herself with her wings and sat still hidden. “May I speak before the questioning begins please?” The judge looked at her and then nodded. Silver then nodded and sat there still hidden. Explaining why she was not letting anyone see more than her calf’s down and her head what had happened to her before the incident. she wasn’t trying for sympathy just understanding. When she finished she sighed and was almost crying a single tear ran down her cheek and she made one last statement. “I understand this is just formality and there will be no justice for me but thank you for at least hearing me out.” with that the questioning started and she answered everything truthfully they even questioned the facts of what she had said before the questioning started. Nothing changed accept by the time things where done she was in tears and an emotional wreck. and was contemplating jumping ship after the trial. as she had just been treated like a liar and as if she had been exposing to much and inviting people to come on to her. Treating her like she was some common wench. Maranda did not follow up with any questions the judge stated they would take a quick recess and Silver was escorted back to her cell where the male guard looked at her now with sad eyes he looked almost remorseful and as if he felt sorry for her.
When Maranda came back she opened the cell and undid the bindings and walked her back up to the court room. The judge asked one simple question of her before passing judgment. “May I see what it is that they say is so revealing about what you are wearing?” Silver sighed then her wings moved and revealed the vest and pants her boots where off as she had taken them off and where in the cell. the Judge looked her over and nodded. “that is enough thank you” silver quickly covered her body again. With this judgment was passed and she was found innocent of all charges as she was merely defending herself against a would be attacker. He then had her approach the bench and he pulled out a fruit and handed it to her. “This will help you better protect yourself from would be attackers and prove your innocence on the spot. Take time with it to learn what it does. it is known as the Love Love Fruit.” she took it in her hands and thought for a moment and just held it and nodded. “Thank you” She then turned and started to walk away heading for the brig when she was stopped and turned to be given a room tell they arrived at Loug Town.
It was another week before they arrived. Once they did she quietly got off the ship and moved through the port quietly to try avoid unwanted attention granted hiding under her wings would most likely garner her plenty of attention that she didn’t want.
-
Seth sat on the ship, starting to loose a bit of his hard earned physique. This was no way to really live, and it was hard sitting here. From inside this room. He hardly knew a thing about what was going on. Though he did sneak out, every now and again once they were at port. However Seth did contemplate his thoughts however. He wondered if he actually could do anything for Silver, but he didn’t want to just let her rot in a prison. He hated problems that couldn’t just be solved by his physical strength, and he knew that Silver would be either heartfelt, furious or a combination of both if she actually found out that he still followed her irregardless of what she said.
But, if she really felt that she deserved to be punished, what could he do? He could not give her penance….he himself did not see what she did.
