*BANG*
*CRASH*
*SCREEEEECH*
"Even among monkeys, how in the night sky did you ever become a Captain!?!" Rithrynn called out to the White Hand Captain as he was frantically trying to avoid crashing into as much cave-walls as possible, which was a mission impossible considering the actual speed of the ship!
"P-please, ma'am, save the ad-hominem until after we're not most-assuredly dead!" The man cried back as he clung to his wheel, almost rotating around with it until they finally escaped the cave and sailed out into the light of morning outside.
"I would... oh light, save us!"
The man exclaimed when he saw ahead and spotted the trio of ships waiting for them, all with their broadsides aimed straight at them! The onyx metal of the cannons gleamed in the sunlight, reflecting their deadly intent from afar!
"Uh, Ri... I don't think even this boat has enough firepower to contend with that!" Lithriell would whisper from behind Rithrynn's back as the sentinels watched the blockade of ships with a look of worry and disbelief.
" ... no shit." Rithrynn bit her own lip as she watched their situation grow ever more perilous! If they continued on, they would no doubt be blown to splinters! But in that, they didn't have much choice, what with the mischievous little midget Liaena having locked the ship in full forward speed!
“Target acquired, Rithy?”
Rithrynn, alongside with all her sisters, looked down at the little black haired human standing between them. Some of the stares were accusing, others were confused. However, Rithrynn saw the wicked glimmer in Liaena's eyes, and returned instead with a smile of her own.
"Of course... " She'd mutter, before turning to the Captain.
"Humie, lock course with the middle ship!" Rithrynn instructed as she pointed at the Siren's Wail inbetween the two Stormwindian ships, as the Captain changed their course accordingly.
"W-what are you planning? We need to slow down, otherwise we'll cra,-"
*CACK*
"Ugh!"
But the man didn't manage to file his complaint until one of the Night Elves standing behind him had already whacked him in the back of his head, knocking the man unconscious on the spot and causing him to slump into a ball at their feet. Rithrynn had in the meantime brought a wooden rod, which she jammed right into the ship's steering wheel - locking it in place!
"Get ready for a cold swim, girls! We're leaving this ghost ship!"
"Wait, we're outside the fort!" Vashi would suddenly intrude, the Night Elven magi stepping forward.
"There's no need to get wet, I can conjure up a portal below deck and get us to safety!"
Whatever optimistic looks she may have received from Liaena and her fellow human apprentices at the promise of avoiding an ice bath early in the morning, Vashi received nothing but cold stares from her sisters.
"You're proposing the use of magic?"
"I don't like portals... I hear they're dangerous... "
"I hear they've torn people to pieces."
"I don't know, I like the sound of the water instead."
*BANG*
However, the murmuring from her sisters was abruptly put to an end when one of the blockading ships fired off a series of warning shots; the salvo of cannonballs whistling dangerously close to the ship and splashing down into the water all around them!
"On second note... maybe not a bad idea after all!" Lithriell would interfere, trying to give it an optimistic twist to the rest of her sisters whom all still looked as if they had just been invited to participate in their own funerals!
"You heard her! Everyone get below deck, now!" Rithrynn instructed the rest of her sisters, and soon all of the Night Elves would converge below deck, lead by Vashi taking point. Liaena and her apprentices were either willingly or reluctantly dragged with them, including the dozed off White Hand Captain.
Below deck, Vashi brought out a series of scrolls and runes. Through a short ritual, the magic from the runestones was freed to create a glimmering portal in the middle of the storage room.
"Are you sure it's safe?" Rithrynn would suddenly ask, just as Vashi was about to step towards the portal.
"Of course. Just look at this!" Vashi would exclaim happily in return, before she merrily took another step back and disappeared backwards into the portal; her figure absorbed by the glimmering light to disappear entirely in front of them!
...
...
After Vashi had disappeared through her own portal, an awkward silence had filled the room, as all the Night Elves stared somewhat dubiously at the shimmering doorway in front of them.
" ... wait, how do we know she even survived?" Lithriell would suddenly ask, turning to Rithrynn, who looked rather sour herself.
"That's the problem... we don't." Rithrynn would murmur, sounding almost genuinely afraid as she looked at the portal. Taking a deep breath, Rithrynn would close her eyes while slowly stepping forward, before throwing herself into the portal with a terrified whimper! And she left behind no lack of disturbed faces on the rest of her sisters whom all watched the portal with horror!
"Pfff, you're all such wussies! Watch this!" Aleena would suddenly proclaim loudly, before the brazen Sentinel would suddenly charge past her sisters, giving them a mocking gesture before tossing herself sideways into the portal without a shed of hesitation!
With Aleena gone through the portal, the rest of her remaining sisters would slowly follow, if however slowly and carefully as they each stepped through the portal.
