This is just another story I was planning awhile back. No, this one wont require any sign ups, I simply decided to write something random. If you still want to be in it though, pm me or something, I could probably work something out. Oh, and this one has Rad in it as well, but it has nothing to do with Dragirs nor with my other story. This is a brand new story, regardless of what you may think. It will focus mainly on delivering shorter chapters/posts such as this one for quick reading. I also give it a PG-13 Rating for intense action, violence, gore and special effects lol. Feel free to comment, give feedback, I am willing to improve on my writing. ;)
The Pirate
Prologue
Diamond Steepe Island, five years before the Ganon Threat
He worked his blades expertly and in harmony as an experienced painter would have worked the brush on a piece of canvas. One of the silver curved blades scored a critical hit on the moblin's left lung, puncturing it. Meanwhile, at the same time, the other silver blade took a leg from the monster, a two-critical hit combo. Down went the moblin and the last of the group that had come after the uninvited guest moments ago.
"I wonder why they disappear after they are killed," Rad told himself as he put his twin blades back in their respective silvery scabbards. Rad was short in stature, had an athletic type of body and had brown, parted-to-the-sides hair. He was dressed as a typical warrior did, with a fancy dark shirt, black pants and dark boots. He was just eighteen years of age but had already made a name for himself as an explorer, warrior, and tomb raider of sorts.
The young man dismissed the thought and glanced around the island then, noticing that there were trees and heavy brush all around. The sun shone brightly above and the wind was blowing slowly, carrying a warmth sensation along, a clue to the warrior that summer was still going strong despite the fall season approaching fast.
Rad took heart as he noticed that on the island's ground there was even life to be found. An army of black ants moved about, some carrying food while others just went and came. Holding a smile, Rad knew this place would do for a home. Diamond Steppe Island reminded him of the Forest Haven, which was a massive island located to the east of his location and a place where he had been many times before.
Rad knew he would need to clean out the island from the remaining monsters that inhabited it. To take care of that task, he would need to explore it fully. Just then, as he was about to set out to do just that, he suddenly thought he heard a distanced scream coming from behind him. He spun in a flash, a curved blade already in his hand and ready for action.
There was a mighty ship approaching in the distance, a pirate ship to be exact, he noticed, for the ship was not hiding the fact that it was a pirate vessel, it's black flag flapped with the wind and it showed a nasty skull and crossbones, which was the signature of pirates to identify themselves.
"Oh no," Rad lamented. "It seems that I will never be left alone."
He put the sword back in its place and decided to head to the edge of the island, knowing as he walked there that the ship's crew were probably spying on him through the use of a spyglass. Rad carried one himself inside a leathery satchel that hung at the left side near one of the scabbards. He opened the satchel and brought the spyglass out. He elongated it and then used it to take a view of the ship.
He was not able to see the deck clearly, for the tip of the ship got in the way, however, he did manage to see a lone figure standing right above that tip. He noticed that it was a small, blondish haired young woman who wore white pants and a blue vest over a pinkish blouse. She too, was probably staring at him through her spyglass.
"Tetra?" Rad asked himself, lowering the spyglass as he had easily made out the pirate. So it was Tetra and her mighty crew. He had heard of them, they mostly worked the northern waters in their lucrative business. They assaulted merchants and robbed them clean, and they also raided a town every once in a while. Now Tetra was just said to be a twelve year old child, but the pirates she commanded were the ones who did most of the work.
Rad glanced back at the ship through the use of the spyglass and noticed that Tetra--for indeed it was that little she-devil--had turned her head over her shoulder and was probably issuing orders to her crew.
"This is not good," Rad told himself, shortening the spyglass back to its original size and putting it back in the satchel. He glanced at the inside of his supply bag and noticed that he had a few magic embedded crystals there. He would probably have to use them all if the pirates meant to strike him. Now a days, everyone around the continent seemed to want to have a go at him.
