Hobbit-LOTR: Quests, Curses, And Guardians { Angel & Polarize }

Fili was trying not to let his exhaustion show, but his feet were beginning to ache, while trying to wade through the collosal piles of gold and jewels. It was becoming harder and harder the further he and his brother went. One wrong step could bring an entire mound raining down, and their search would have to be halted, or become slower. No doubt that their uncle was beginning to lose his patience as every minute passed. They had been looking for so long that he knew that his baby brother could collapse at any minute. The last thing they needed was to have Delva in the room. Not that he didn't want her to, but he didn't want their godmother to get further in her silent anger towards Thorin.

Once out of the eyesight of their seemingly disturbed uncle, Fili took the opportunity to pause in their search. If he caught them resting, he would certainly put them back to it. He sat upon the endless pile of their family's wealth, exhausted. Hearing Kili's question, the blonde sighed sadly. "I don't know", he said, almost miserably. Honestly, he didn't know what to do; being close to Thorin, he couldn't dissapoint or disobey, but when it comes to Kili's sake, some measures needed to be overrun. Fili's loyalty has now split; he admired their Delva deeply, maybe not as deeply as his brother, but enough to fully trust her. Thorin, on the other hand, was his uncle, and current predessecor. Becoming king would be underway, and their uncle entrusts that his heirs would follow his every word, but in this circumstance, it has put Fili and Kili in the middle of chain that could only get so far. Tied between Saeril and Thorin, the brothers were in the middle of tug-of-war.

"Remember the stories, Ki'? There was only one Arkenstone; a large white gem that shined the brightest of lights. It's really impossible to miss", the eldest reminded him. Maybe this'll help. "As luminous as Delva's eyes", he added as an afterthought. Speaking of their godmother, where was she?

Pirate X-Over: The Mysteries Of 'Black' { Ninja & Angel }

Vivienne was already feeling a bit overwhelmed at the noises of blasts coming from outside the fort. She did, however, regret that she told her crew to keep the ship hidden. They could really use the aid right now. But an counterattack upon the fort would be a waste of their artillery, plus Vane wouldn't accept such reckless on the use of its weaponry. She didn't need another lecture coming from him, nor Silver. Or better yet, she didn't need to be told on what not to do.

Noticing two intruders coming into the brig, the pirate had her attention on them, almost amused that they didn't even notice her. However, with them beginning to manhandle Abigail, it wasn't long where she got their attention. "Like looking in a mirror, love. Am I right?", she spoke up to get their attention, as she crossed over to the bars of her cell. "You seem to have gotten your trinket. May I ask you to remove your hands from the girl?", she feigned politeness with that smirk of hers.

With much effort, looking at the scene before her, Vivienne's sympathy came back, showing pity...and a little confusion. She didn't tell her ship to fire, nor to advance in any way. Plus, the ship was concealed behind the rocks, so the current blast range way out of its depth. Was it another ship? Vivienne looked out of the hole, which was clearly not big enough for her to go through, and be free. The brokenness of this girl behind her, what else could she do? "Abi', get somewhere safe", she softly told her by a nickname, before she saw a sight she didn't expect to see outside: the nightly view of the harbor...with a ship blowing projectiles upon the town.

The town was under chaos and destruction. Screams, explosions, pirates running amok, and...the blacksmith fighting back? "Say goodbye!", the pirate he was fighting said. Quickly, and out in great speed, a projecting cannonball snapped a chain to a sign, making it fall upon the offender, making him fall through a window.

Vivienne held no ill-will in her gaze, but it was a vibe of playfulness coming from the expression. She watched the interaction of the two cousins, and by the look that she received from the older woman, the pirate wasn't at all phased, just glinting a little arrogance in her eyes, until...

"INCOMING!"

The brunette heard the yell outside of the brig, just until the thundering sound of a cannonball hit the room, blowing a giant hole in Vivienne's cell, and creating a disturbance on the stone walls. Vivienne made a yell of surprise as the dust brushed over her and her saloon-like dress; however, the noise of stone crashing down didn't go unnoticed outside of her cell: the debris of rock that the cannonball hit near the two girls, propelling an explosion of its debris to hit the nearest: Elizabeth, causing her to hit the stairs with blunt force, probably broken in the body, and head. Nobody could survive the blast radius of a deployed cannonball...

The pirate had her eyebrow raised, once she heard Abigail whisper to her about the hidden ship on the north end of the island. She turned her head once again to her, not smiling, but surprised. "You just noticed? Surprised they didn't believe you; that I wouldn't commandeer a ship", she remarked back, making her own voice become low. She smiled wickedly at the girl's ability to pinpoint such an observation. However, the brunette frowned when she once again asked. "Not probable, sweetcheeks. Don't want to get us caught now, do you?", at that, the grin was back, along with a wink. Maybe it was best for this girl to not say anything regarding her ship; it wouldn't be best to even recall it around others.

Deep within the night, a dark ship loomed over the calm sea, like the spirit of death, gliding ever so closely to Port Royale and its unsuspecting inhabitants.

At the ship, that was hidden behind the two rocks, a few yards away from the dock, the lights upon it were doused to make it appear dark. An eyeglass unfolded, just in time to see this other ship drift in. The ship's quartermaster, John Silver, watched with a good eye as this other ship moved past them, towards the dock.
Come on, Vivienne...

Pirate X-Over: The Mysteries Of 'Black' { Ninja & Angel }

The brunette didn't have much else to do, but she was leaning against the bars of her cell. Not that there was even much else; just a sitting place made of rock, and dirt covering the wooden floor. No doubt about the cell size. Not too big, not too small. It was probably large enough for a one-on-one fight, or perhaps hold a capacity of five, maybe six prisoners. For Vivienne, it was big enough, nonetheless; lying on her back, in the middle of the floor with her hair fanned out, and the light of the moon shining upon her youthful face. One of her legs crossing over the other.

A few sighs of boredom, and somewhat tiredness, came from her as the brunette just stared at either the moonlight or the ceiling. However, her time of loneliness didn't last for long. With a small voice coming from the brig entrance, the pirate's attention was caught as she turned her head to the side, and frowning to see the girl she just held captive a few hours ago. Hearing her concern, Vivienne sighed miserably yet amusingly, closing her eyes for a moment, then looking back to the ceiling. "Can't expect more than that, love", she simply responded. In all honesty, she did wonder what Abigail's intention was. Is she starstruck? Was she attracted to her?, it would be amusing if it was the last one.

Vivienne was out cold; up to the point where she found herself waking up within one of the cells of Port Royal's brigs. She growled in frustration, even after finding that her effects were removed from her figure; searched her throughly it would seem, if she was ever gonna slip a tiny blade from her boot.

Looking at the window that was above her, Vivienne slumped down upon the floor, leaning against the cell door, and registering that the young man she fought was uncanny, and the brunette did admit that he even had such skill to fend her off. Was he absolutely sure that he didn't have any familiarity with pirates?

The brunette chuckled in amusement at the thought, eventually letting herself stare at the window before her. She just wished that one of these days, she would let herself go mad on such thoughts.

There was indeed a pistol being cocked at the young man's face, and Vivienne was giving him a serious, grim expression upon her visage; all ticks of the flirting teasing from earlier, gone. Her blue eyes were boring into his own, only giving him a warning to not speak of such things of her past. Her name was "Vivienne" now; all traces of her deceased mother, and the evidence of herself being a slave named Tallulah, gone. She dismissed his statement quickly with a grin, a sad one, this time. "And I thought you were a professional fighter", the brunette stated, until she heard banging coming from the front door. They found her! She needed to leave. Now! Getting up quickly with the pain of her wound still there, she kept the gun aimed at him. Noticing that he was blocking the path to the backdoor, the brunette was getting impatient. "Move away", she told him, almost desperate.

Vivienne was putting her finger on the trigger, and she figured that she would just shoot the young man anyway. But like before, the brunette didn't seem to have it in her to kill an innocent person. It only reminded her of the girl she just spared. She hardened her gaze towards him, and flicked the switch. "This shot is not for you", she confessed to him. "You don't deserve it", she added with sympathy showing on her beautiful features. What she didn't notice was someone hitting the back of her head. She did feel herself getting a bit ditzy, before falling forward at the blacksmith's feet; the pistol falling out of her hand.

Hearing his declaration of bleakness, Vivienne knew he would be angry, so she let the question go, and let go of him, practically allowing herself to be pushed back by his strength. However, her injury didn't help, and the brunette stumbled a little, but she stubbornly ignored it, keeping herself composed once the male advanced upon her again, following her in this uneasy acquaintance of a game. Time and time again, the pirate was using her body language to taunt, or distract him: winks and smiles, toying with him in this scuffle of a dance.

Her smile was still there as Vivienne advanced on him with swings of her sword, jumping away to dodge his strikes, and block them every time he came close. Swiping, the pirate tried to aim for any part of his body, but every time she made a strike, she grew annoyed by his uncanny skill, even after he managed to knock the sword out of her hand, causing her blade to hit the wall, piercing itself there. Vivienne's confident grin faltered, almost dumbstruck when he flashed the same expression back to her.

Damn me and my arrogance

She clearly underestimated this young man; he wasn't lying. Looking from her propelled sword, and back to him, the pirate needed to think outside the box. Feeling the pain of her leg hit her for the umpteenth time, Vivienne gave in, making a pained grunt, and slumped to the ground. "You may be right...that I would need to be tended", she groaned from where she was. She feigned the act, waiting for him to get close, and before he would know anything, there was loose dirt thrown at his face, temporarily blinding him. If he had his vision back, there would be a gun cocked to his face.

((In my next post, she would be knocked out lol))

Vivienne was a little amused by this man's equal share of charm. All she could do was wickedly smirk. "That's very generous of you", she responded as a slight mock to his offer, but again, she was playing with him. "But I can handle a little pain", the brunette winked on that. Sparks flew as she hit high and low, while he strikes back in equal measure. All in all, it was the same pattern...although she was already becoming a little annoyed by his ramble of self-proclamation. How naive, the pirate mused to herself as she grabbed one of the small forged blades nearby. Vivienne threw it at him with force, but missing, with him being able to dodge the incoming projectile.

"You made all these?!", she curiously asked him, somewhat amazed, while keeping up with his strikes. Three hours a day?, the brunette thought, internally groaning. "You really need to find yourself a girl, love", she remarked with that grin again, wicked and playful. However, internally, Vivienne was slightly getting frustrated to not lay a mark upon him, but in admittance, his skill was cutting. Vivienne knew that the more she pushed it, the more she could get inside his head, and find out what makes him tick. That last comment she made probably went a little too far in the young man's boundary. The pirate almost got herself struck, once she dodged a rather powerful swing.

Vivienne's blade unexpectedly locked with his own, surprisingly feeling his strength from the performed action. Her hand suddenly snatched itself onto the tied-collar of his shirt, to make her face closer to his own, while their blades were in an x-formation between them. "Or, maybe because you found one, and can't woo her?", Vivienne was practically taunting him again, although it was meant to be a curious question. Who was the girl?
