The ship creaks heavily as you open your eyes. You've been traveling for nearly days on a ship, known as 'The buccaneer' to the sailors. Although you hardly remember much of the recent events in the past few days one thing is clear to you; Traveling to the new born human kingdom of Seldarl. For years the Human nation has been fighting over the sea, claiming new land for therselves and to show their dominance over their enemies. As a free lance warrior you've been seeking such an oppurtunity to partake in the war and aid your kingdom in their struggling battle.

Looking around the sleeping quarters of the ship all seems quiet and empty, all the beds other than yours are empty and the remaining supplies have been taken to the top. The only sound you can hear is that of the waves chrasing against the outside of the ship aswell as the sailors and merchants speaking to each and chanting, celebrating for unknown reasons, most likely the ale.

I think to myself 'might as well get up and see where we are exacly...and see what all the cheering is all about.'
When I get to the top of the steps, the pale light from the moon shines down on the main deck making it all seem peaceful and calm. I rest on one of the side rails looking at the brightly lit port. It was a memerizing sight with the stary sky.
It was until one of the sailers started to stumbe up to me. 'yuush arrr yehhhh mushed...*hic*...sdun' laady thaat i've med'...'arsh yeh sheen' anyshun?..*hic*.. ' His breath stunck of ale and his untidy posture made it unbearable to look at him. Sighing I turn to him and say ' it's men like you that make it unbearable for me to get anything done...drinking, sleeping, more drinking...what type of girl would take that sort of man?' He stumbles side to side looking like he's about to fall over, then after a short pause he finally says '...ashh girl likesh yehh!.. rahahah *hic* haha!' and slaps my ass cheek. With this I step back and unsheathe my sword, pointing it him, i angirly shout ' Touch me again and I will slice you!' I sheathe my sword again and start heading back down to the hull. I lay back down on the bed, I think to myself 'I hope we dock soon...this is getting tiresome.'

The noise continues into the night, the ship continuing to sway side-to-side making it ever so more difficult for you to sleep. You seem to stare up at the ceiling above you, listening to the footsteps of the crew above, narrowing your eyes slightly at the constant tapping on the wooden floor. There seems to be no rest for these sailors, its a wonder how they succesfully make it across the vastness of the forbidding sea...

A narrow slit of light from a small hole in the ship shines on to your face, disturbing your sleep. You wake up once again but this time to find the sleeping quarters different than before. Unconcious sailors and merchants all rugged and wrecking the air around the ship with the smell of beer and smoke, lay idle around the flooring, often in groups or pairs. The sounds also seems different as the waves have been reduced to a simple sheet moving across the ocean and birds flying over the ship, looking for any leftovers and a chance of a meal. Shouting is also heard across the ship, this time, more formal and disciplined. "Prepare the cargo to move! We arrive at Sambou port within the hour!"

I gather all my belongings and head to the deck once more. The sun blazes down on the deck, I shield my eyes for a brief moment to adjust to the bright day in front of me. I stretch my arms behind my head, and look towards the port, finally here... I think to myself I wonder whats here...
The crew that are able to stand are rushing around preparing for the dock, gathering all shapes and sizes of equipment.
The sound just off the port was quite intense, it was like a city rather than a small port, merchants shouting out about their valuble goods, people hustling around the dock chating and arguing.
After gazing at the port for a short while, I head to the bow of the ship awaiting the end of the voyage.
soild land..i've missed it

The ship continues its journey, ever so often slowing down, gliding into the port and preparing to dock. Looking around the ship the city seems to grow in size ever more, filled with scafolding and construction tools covering half the area the city seems more of a workshop rather than a place of rest and trading. Eventually as the ship completes its docking, crowds of merchants and sailors flood the gangway, leaving little to no room and almost knocking over one of the dockhands carrying a crate. Looking towards the other side of the ship you would notice a large navy ship, carrying seventy soldiers at the least all wearing polished chainmail, coveirng them from head to toe, showing their pride and discipline. Shouts of orders come across the docks as all the guards gather into rows of fives. Eventually they begin to march and head towards what persumes to be a large keep near the town square, also in construction like the majority of the city.

'Wow!' I turn to one of the sailers next to me but none of them seem to be bothered by them. I wish i could get some armour like that I say under my breath, so shiny..though this armor is soo cute! 'ahh well, better start from here' I swing my light backpack over my shoulder and walk off the plank, looking around I take a deep breath 'right...where shall I begin?' I notice a sign to a tavern thats close by I hope they have better drinks than that ship, lets take a look I open the door and step step inside the tavern.

Stepping inside the tavern the first thing you notice is the familiar smell of strong alcohol and smoke filling your lungs. The entire tavern consists mostly of Soldiers and construction workers, all cheering and singing together out of sync, some even dancing the to percussion instruments on top of the tables seemingly making the most out of their time, living each day as if it was their last. Looking carefully in the surprisngly well lit area you notice that there is only one table free, standing by the side of a pool of spilt mead and empty steins. Next to the table seems to be a more distinguished character, dressed in grey robes covering his entire body with a silk cowl shrouding his head, the only part of this man you can truely see is his hand in which seems to be grasped a silver coin, idly waiting to be snatched by a theif of sorts. Looking above, you notice there is also a second floor to the inn, an open floor but nowhere near the size of the first, shouting emerges from the very same direction however too difficult to tell what is going on from your angle, the most you can make out is something related to women.

Upon reaching the final step you can are able to see the entire tavern and the second floor now. As you look towards the group of people on the ascended floor you notice two men, both rugged and dirty, one seems to resemble a guard, losely wearing his armour with his long brown hair covering the front of his face, aggitating him, while the other man covered in what seems to be soot sits on the other side, arm wrestling each other over the table, with high tensions and pressure rising between the two the table begins to shake rapidly and the two women by the men, cheer them on, excited by the show of manly strength.

Within moments a loud crash is heard as the table fulls over, mead flooding the floor and running past your feet, trickling down the wooden stairs. The labourer jumps out from his seat, with an arm in the air, cheering as he grabs his women by her waist and pulling her to his own. "Ow ye like that, ye arrogan- arrogant, arse!? The man seems to stumble slightly, from the amount of consumed beer, almost toppling over with the women.
A chair is sent flying, crashing into the wall missing you by a few feet, spliting into two. The guard stands, unsheathing his sword, in blind furry he jumps
out to the Labourer Simply shouting "BASTARD!". The man in confusion simply falls to the floor, narrowly missing a deadly strike by the well sharpened sword, only cutting him on the edge of his ear. The man lets out of a cry of terror with little to defend himself with and runs behind you, trying to grab your shoulders and use you as a meat shield.

I turn my head to see a glimpse of the man hiding behind me, 'h-hey! what are you doing! don't hide behind me!' I remove his hands from my shoulders and nudge him away from me, with one hand on my hip, slightly leaning forward towards him 'why are hiding behind me? you are a man right?' gesturing to his body. 'If you are, why use a woman as a shield' I sigh and slightly shake my head, 'honestly....men...'

Almost the entire tavern looks up at you, watching the comotion unfold with excitment and surprise. You can hear the sound of what seems to be footsteps running towards you, followed by the sound of chainmail knocking against the floor. "I don't care wether you hide behind these whores or not, i will still kill you!" The angered guard leaps into the air, somewhat slowed by his heavy gear weighing him down. He raises his sword above his head as he attempts to impale you through the chest to also kill the other man.

In an instant I unsheathe my sword to protect myself from the attack, ohh here we go, just remember what you learnt and you be safe I think to myself. Dodge the attack and strike his back...Dodge the attack and strike his back I kept saying to myself.
Shaking slightly, I hold the hilt of my sword tightly with both hands so that it inflicts full damage. I start to charge at him...trying to cut his flight mid-way, without hesitation I swing my sword at him.

The piercing of metal is heard withing moments of the retaliation. The guard seems to land with his feet back on the ground holding his weapon firmly in his hand. Looking at the guard you notice your sword has struck him directly, breaking through his armour and into his body. Blood begins to pour out and runs down the mans armour aswell as your sword, dripping on to the wooden floor. He begins to violently shake as blood also emerges from his mouth as he looks directly at you. His grip losens as his weapon and knees fall to the floor, dragging your sword down too with his weight.

The once happy and joyful tavern's life seems to of past as the entire place stares at you. All in shock and suspense, some instantly leaving in disgust of the site. Within minutes a large call is heard "Guards, Guards! Come quickly there's a murder!". A storm of guards, much neater and disciplined to the one you killed rush in and quickly exmaine the place. A women, dressed in a red dress covered in black lace enters the room and points to you. The guards turn their attention to you quickly as they all rush up the taverns stairs and take attempt to take hold of you.
