Sawtooth Isle (Open to All)

A small boat that seemed to be able to carry a single passenger floated along the small waves pushing it toward the shoreline of the well known and sought out Sawtooth Isle. From afar the boat seemed to be empty, only the sail visible but what laid within was a young girl dying of thirst and hunger on the floor of the small boat with her arms stretched out from each other with her face toward the sky. Before making it toward the edge of the isle, the boat got swept by a large wave throwing it toward another larger merchant, the large essence of shade brought by the large merchant ship had awakened her from being surprised. Were they trying to rescue her or were they actually going to attack her for anything she's worth, lifting herself from the floor and watched as the merchant was about to consume her little ship, from the large it created it sucked the back of her ship into the water causing it to sink before she jumped onto the tip that reached for the sky and jumped from there and onto their own ship though falling onto her knees from being to week.

"Fo...od"

She said with her last breath before falling onto all fours and being surrounded by the other merchants that were upon the ship itself trying to help her regain her strength bringing a large piece of bread and drinkable water.

"Don't die on us miss! We're almost to Sawtooth port!"

One of the men shouted before making her chuckle silently under her own breath before thrusting her hands at the large piece of bread then scarfing it down like a wild animal before elegantly patted away the crumbs from her pink lips and drinking the water allowing it to pass her lips and flow down her cheek down her neck and onto her chest feeling the sudden refreshing coldness from the water. She gave them all a slight bow, throwing her large blonde braid over her shoulder.

"Sorry guys but I must bid you all a adieu. Thank you for the pocket money~"

She said lifting a few small bags of gold within her hands before dashing past the men and onto the rim of the ship awaiting a closer edge of the port before jumping off. Most of the merchants were to dumb founded to understand but once one had noticed it was their money she stole the rest charged toward the rim of the ship before stopping and watching her skip away with their hard earned money. She recalled one of them saying something about "Sawtooth" before shrugging at the thought and continued off within the heart of the fortress before they get their ship ported and come after her.



Walking through the crowds of people obviously shorter then most of the pedestrians but still held her head high, with both of her hands by her sides and a bright smile on her face with her glasses slightly drooping showing her pinkish iris's to the world glistening from the sun light. He hair flowed down her right shoulder in front of her and took very loud steps as she paraded through the streets. Some of the merchants along with their fellow crewman watched as she walked with confidence some snickered while others wished they had that within themselves, through the windows some looked down at her bright rich blonde hair that lit up in the sun and were slightly blinded to say the least. She stopped in the center of the large fort, placing her hands on her hips before making the utmost serious face looking in all directions not knowing where to start first. Watching as the muscle of the place continued to build homes, shops and equipment for both battle and utilities along with shop vendors coming from across the seas to sell what ever they can to make an honest living or even a name for themselves as the best merchant holding the best merchandise. She was puzzled with what to do now that she's actually made it to the first island since she started her voyage and doesn't intend to stay here forever, much less a week to say the least. Maybe go after some fantasy like rumors about and head off into a little adventure or maybe head to the pub hoping they'd allow someone her age to just walk in. Throwing a large sigh into the air she crossed her arms under her chest in annoyance of where to begin will "fate" bring her to what she searches or will she have to act before finding the next clue, not even she can tell but that's the means of adventure if she wasn't mistaken. Suddenly a large man holding what looked to be a large log under his arm, for someone of his size it was likely possible for him to do something of the sort but she just looked at him curiously.

"Excuse me miss, are you lost maybe I can help you around. May I ask your name?"

Was this a sign of kindness in his voice or was it lust, she wasn't that good at telling when someone is lying or when someones telling the truth but sometimes she'd just have to wing it and trust the person that seems the most trustworthy when the time comes to it, but it didn't feel like that as of yet. Dropping her arms and placing her left hand on her hip while the other poked at the mans chest, while a snicker grew on her face.

"There wasn't a need to ask nor was there a reason for you to be polite and speak your name first. The names Mio, I'm trying to get people to get to Blondie though....Oh and I'm a pirate!~"

She said with a smile but the man just let out a full hardy laugh, placing his hand on his chest hoping trying to not let his lungs explode from the hilarious joke she just told. Was there something funny about her being a pirate, or was there something funny about pirates in general. Curiosity over took her mind as she stared at the man bringing most unneeded attention toward them both.

"How is something as small, soft and gentle looking as yourself a pirate! Huh!? Little munchkin!"

He said without holding back, speaking the whole truth to what had become to his own assumption not knowing what or who she was. She could agree on most of those little "characteristics" but a little munchkin wasn't going to be able to left alone. She puffed her cheeks in anger before flailing her arms vertically in front of him slightly bending over and having her face turn slightly red. Quick kicking off into a spiral staying in her physical position she let out a powerful lunging kick that once connected to the mans stomach, he flew backward, dropping the log onto the ground with a large thud and was sent into a large pile of crates crashing into them and having some of them fall over and onto him.

"Hmpf! Its Blondie.......pft..munchkin.....your the munchkin.."

Throwing a hissy fit she threw her body to the side, turning away from the accident with her arms crossing once more and her cheeks still puffed in annoyance before storming off in the opposite direction.

Mio was walking through the somewhat crowded streets filled with both merchants and pedestrians, but her a lowly pirate walking around without a crew to her name nor a bounty on her head she was utterly confused in her position of what to do. She walked closest to the buildings just incase she would need to a quick escape crashing through one of the homes or shops before her and rush through to safety if she were ever to be overpowered by another. Crossing her arms under her chest, while puffing her cheeks helplessly deep in thought of what to do now, there wasn't a how-to on becoming a pirate and she didn't think that as of now she can be brought down by any of the mysterious islanders might come out and beat her down only to do horrible things to her, just the thought made her spine shutter in fear. Coming onto a fork in the street she dicided to just keep walking straight not having to think more then she already was especially to what the path she took withheld seeing as she won't know till she meets it.

"Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I haven't heard nor seen a pirate since I've got here! Whats with these little scaredy cats! I thought they'd be all like loud and obnoxious and stuff!"

She shouted to her self flailing her arms around as a anger mark rose onto her forehead in annoyance as she continued to walk. The people that walked by only stared in curiousness to find out what the hell she was talking about, wondering who in the world would want to "find" pirates by choice. Was she a marine or a bounty hunter? Those who obvious no knowledge of her wouldn't know and therefore only left rumors in their minds.

She looked toward the sky placing her forefinger onto her pink lips as she went back into thought, thinking of where to start next and taking a more forceful approach at finding her fellow sea men and hopefully actually find a fellow pirate to walk beside and call them a fellow crew member that and she needed a way to get off this island. Along with that, she didn't know if this island was worth anything, she was here all this time and she doesn't know anything about this island and if any pirate would even search this place for anything let alone be here. She shrugged at the thought trying to look more on the good side of things before feeling a sudden gentle yet refreshing touch of snow falling onto her cheek, sliding her hand on her cheek her eyes widened a bit at the sight of it. Snow....on a island with a volcano.....she's never heard something like that before. She continued to walk as she noticed less and less people were around the area as there were before.

"Hrm thats not a good sign..."

She said to herself, walking oh so more carefully then before keeping her eyes open to make sure that she wasn't taken by surprise. Before she cut a corner she noticed a sole wanderer walking through the streets of the people holding themselves tightly from the sheer cold that was brought upon them. Even Mio who wore such thin clothing was getting chills down her spine from the air but clashed with the warmth from the sun along with the heat created from the volcano gave it a more calm and even feeling about the two more like an even temperature to just lay out in the sun not to cold and yet not to hot. Though the female herself was quite the sight to see, young and petite with a gentle sense to her that seemed all to unreal, it even made Mio second guess herself, thought not being all to worried about her outer appearance. Though her curiousness for the girl was more then she could handle already finding herself walking toward her.

"Hey! Excuse me Yuki-Chan!"

She shouted in reference to her snow white hair, waving her hand above her head.

"Excuse me but do you know what's up with this island, I've just arrived and I don't really know the history of it."

Mio asked in a soft and polite tone hoping that she'd do the same.

The small girl spoke to her in one of the most unique voices she's ever heard within Mio's life, it was almost as if it was made by the heaven's to capture the sea man to cause them to head for the jagged shores of a island and cast them off to hell, like a siren so to speak. And Mio was entranced by it for a slight second before getting her hand tugged by the small girl and pulled away from where they stood. With her little act it suddenly brought Mio's focus back onto her main goal and that was to find a crew of her own and travel the seas along with them. Realizing this she pulls her hand away from the young girl without thinking before standing in place for a few seconds looking in every direction.

"I'm sorry Yume-Chan! I can't follow you. I have to find some Pirate's!"

Mio said in a stern voice, grabbed hold of both of Yume's hands before bringing her closer to Mio's face who's glasses began to slip down to the tip of her nose revealing her pinkish eyes from underneath. Mio began to feel more in need of finding a pirate crew, maybe it was because she's finally found someone to walk beside and what about this Yume girl, who was she exactly and where was she taking Mio. Maybe she's a pirate too and maybe she'd want to join Mio into making a crew instead. Many thoughts and ideas began to spring to life within Mio's head that she didn't know which one to take so she decided to ignore them all and start anew.

"Come with me! We're going......to be legends!"

She said confident and hopeful smile brimming onto her face as she pushed her glasses back up and stood straight once more taking hold of Yume's hand this time and dragging her toward the nearest tavern. The large sign above their head glowed in the sun light with the glare hitting their faces with the word "Fluffy Duck Tavern" right across the middle, Mio stood before the double door's of the entrance into the tavern with on hand on her hip and the other still attached to Yume who's probably all confused and curious simultaneously but Mio planned to show whats the plan. As she walked toward the door with her arm stretching out to turn the nob before pausing.

"Oh right. More Pirate like non lady like."

She took a step back before lifting her right leg up toward the door before launching to forward and impaling the door shooting into the Tavern itself and dropped within the tavern floor with a large thud and dust was thrown into the air before everyone within clouding their sight. As the dust began to start going down the image's of Mio and Yume within the middle of the room appeared from nowhere though obviously they just walked forward into the tavern. Atop of the door stood Mio with her hand on her hip and her chest puffed out to make her look more serious thought holding Yume's hand looked as though she was a little girl that needed to hold someone's hand. The tavern was silent without a word probably curious as to why they were here and the reason for knocking down the door instead of just opening and closing it but instead of asking they began to continue what they were doing before hearing the soft voice of the confident blonde women.

"We're looking for Pirates!"

As Mio continued to poke at the mans face before Yume decided to have a turn trying to wake the man up from his slumber by transforming her own hand into snow. It looked like Mio could literally rip her hand easily if it were as soft as real snow but as Yume grabbed the man, Mio assumed that the snow was more like snow when it's pounded down and more sturdy. Along with this little trick she pulled Mio focused more on the snow itself and wondered if it was Yume that was the cause of the weather differences that was occurring around her along with what happened within the tavern as well. It seemed to be a strong skill and was glad that she was on Mio's side.

As she continued to watch Yume flail the man around in the air, Mio face followed the rapid movements making it look like she was going crazy as her face continued to move from left to right and up and down. When Yume was finally finished she had placed him within the body of a large snowman.

"Wow.....Didn't see that coming..."

She said with a bit of curiousness as to what Yume's intentions are when she hold such power. Turning her own attention back onto the snowman that began to shiver, obviously because of the man within unless the snowman turned real and moved started to break apart probably from the heat from the island and the man from within walked out of the snowman wet like a dog. He sneezed as he walked out probably having gotten a cold from the cold water that he was drowned in water.

"Oh hel..."

She began to speak before the man suddenly rushed toward to Yume, with his shirt lifting from his bare chest and squeezing the water out from his clothes. She assumed that he was into Yume from his quick actions and maybe this happens alot to Yume as well, though Mio shrugged at the thought as to what Yume has done before wasn't her business nor was the time to ask about it, as they still needed to find pirates, not some guy that flirts when you step on his face.

"Hrm how rude."

Mio decided to ignore the newly found man within the snow and continued to move toward the closest exit to which the man working at the tavern had infered that the pirates went in that direction. Striding off she hoped to see either them themselves or them riding those horses he spoke of, giving them a more better acknowledgement of who they were. Then again how many people rode their horses in that direction.

Mio striding off was soon followed by Yume who quickly grabbed her arm, clinging to it tightly and walking closely beside her. What ever Yume was planning didn't seem to show through her actions as she seemed to like being close to Mio unless that was to be her plan before doing something shady, but then again if what she said was true she would have done so already especially with her kind of strength she could snap Mio like a twig. Or maybe she's just the type to show her kindness before being hurt by others where her true power lies behind, in her emotions and things that she's felt close to. Mio shrugged away the thought as they continued onward with their little mission of finding a pirate, Mio has already thought of what to ask and that is to join them until she's found her true desire to continue with them or go on her own and create her own crew to lead on besides her dream wasn't as easy.

"Alright, lets go find those horses and probably they'd lead to that pirate the tavern was talking about."

Mio said aloud so that Yume would be able to hear her, though it must of not been that hard seeing how close she was that it was a little hard to walk herself. Some of the villagers stared at the two as they strode into the direction outward of the village but none of them fearless enough to go talk to them but only give them stares and spoke under their breaths. Mio could only give a slight sigh at the position she was in as this isn't as what she's thought of what would happen in search of pirates, being left with no leads cling to by a women she doesn't know to much t about and who is probably older then herself. Though it was better then nothing, she was glad she's done more then just dying within that small raft she rode up upon though maybe her luck has just gotten better.

As a lone pedestrian rode into the village upon a horse, being it was the only horse she's see the whole walk there Mio just assumed that it was the one and went for it. As it began to slow its roll, the man shifted its coat revealing his blade, not sure if he was showing off or it was in the way she just ignored it and looked toward the man upon the stead. He spoke his name toward them both in a sense of honor probably or to just be polite, but Mio slightly tilted her head before thrusting her hand forward with her index finger striking at him.

"Your a pirate! And well I'd like it if I....uh we'd be able to join you and your crew!"

Without any hesitation Mio went straight to the point in what she wanted to say and what she wanted to happen though it was up to him to decided but was she going to give up if he refused, probably not.[/clear]
