Worlds Collide (Closed)

[Makitsu_Trinity]

The sun glistened off the fluorescent blue of the sea as Fiona and her crew made their way towards shore. Fiona had heard tales of the people that lived here. Apparently the gem mines were a thing of beauty and their fishing boats never found bad weather. She was thrilled to find this hidden new land and knew in her bones she would be the one to take it for herself. The salty spray that hit her face made her shiver, but it was a thrill that coursed through her veins and left her begging for more. She could not remember the last time she or her crew of thirteen female sailors had set foot on land. Supplies were running low, which gave them a good opportunity to run ashore and have an excuse for being there. They could scope out the local terrain and see what they were up against. Fiona also had reinforcements on the way, should she need them, but she was confident with the island's history of secrecy, that their military would be laughable and she and the girls could easily out maneuver it.

She was going to be sorely disappointed.

It did not take long to drop anchor and ready a raft to take her and her two most trusted comrades to shore. The rest were to stay on board and ready for the invasion. She stood tall, her fur blown about by the breeze. Her tight fitting white blouse was soaked by the waves that splashed against their boat, leaving her bright pink nipples exposed and straining against the flimsy fabric. Her black trousers, likewise, were formed tightly to her hips and thighs, leaving little to the imagination. It was a ploy she had used often enough before, but now, it was more bothersome, because she hoped to make peace with these people, making take over that much easier. She sighed as the raft pulled up to a dock.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

This island was always my home I grew up with a big family Vex is my name always fighting against my brothers for my parent's affection but I never measured up. We didn't have the strongest army but what we lacked from strength we made for in cunning so when the time came to be given our paths I was cast to the farthest part of the island near a run down old watch tower from the last great battle. I made it into my home and always kept a weathered eye watching the fishing vessels making their way by. This morning was routine as usual I kept a eye on the shore making a note at what I seen to be sent by bird to the chief of the island when out of the corner of my eye I noticed a ship coming toward the shoreline and setting down a smaller ship I held my spyglass and looked upon the people coming ashore they looked feline I said to myself I wrote what I saw down and tied it around one of the birds legs and threw it towards the air watching it go toward its destination I grabbed a sword and walked toward the beach shouting "Hello there are you here for trading!"

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona heard the voice calling as they beached the raft. She waved cordially and strode over towards the strapping male. "Yes. We have been out to sea for some time and our supplies are running low. However, we may be able to offer something in exchange for refilling our stock. With whom would I speak?"

She eyed him up and down, impressed by what she saw. Perhaps this would not be so simple as she had originally hoped. No matter. This island would be hers by the end of a fortnight.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I walked a bit closer to the strange feline watching her every move I smiled and said "usually ships dock at the shipyard for trading not all the way on the coast." I held out my hand and said "The name is Vex I got some supplies at my watchtower." I kept my hand onto my sword and watched her companions reactions if you want to go ahead and follow me I said walking up the hill toward the tower we can start trading." I might be able to take you into the closest town for the rest of your supplies."

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

"Much obliged," Fiona answered, following him, motioning for her companions to stay behind. "We were not sure where we were, to be honest. The site of land and your tower were such a welcome sight, we just came ashore the first chance we got."

She lied through her teeth, as they had circled the island from a distance or a day or two first, but her words fell from her supple lips like a fine wine.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I walked toward the tower door and opened it and gestured her to come inside well I got to say we don't get many cat traders at rare times we get wolves but that is only during the winter months I walked over toward the shelf and pulled a bottle of wine and looked back at her so what are you looking to get and what do you have to offer I said pouring a glass and placing it in front of her.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona twirled the stem of the glass after accepting it. "Oh you know, a little from here, a little from there. You are welcome to take a look before we bring it ashore." She took a sip from the glass. Delicious. Well balanced, but not too dry, as she hated a dry wine. She set down the glass. "As for what we need, water and dried goods mostly. There is only so long fresh fruits and vegetables will last on a ship before they rot and/or attract rats from their hiding places."

A glimmer in her eye told him she did not mind the rats, however, not surprising.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I think I have what your looking for I stood up and walked over to the store room and pulled out a box of dried meat is your people picky on eating meat because this I said placing my hand upon the box is stag meat dried don't have much dry goods I do have a well and your welcome to fill up as much water as you want you and your crew would have to come inland for more food I pulled down a map of the island and placed it on the table I could take you if you don't mind my company I said with a smile looking over her body. I would love to see what you got to trade would any of your crew like something to drink I said moving the bottle back and forth.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona shook her head. "I would not recommend it. You will never get rid of them. Unless you can scrap up a decent group of young men who want to handle the needs of a rambunctious, demanding crew."

She laughed at her crude references, but she was dead serious. She knew when they docked at home, there would be much drinking and yiffing to be had. She looked forward to it, but for now, even the half of her glass of wine that she'd been able to finish was making her feel friendly and giddy. Perhaps she should stop where she was.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I chuckled I think all they would need is me I said with a sly grin I stood up and picked up one of the boxes of dried meats I reached out my hand and said " Do you have a name or shall i call you simply beautiful for the time being." I said with a grin i'm also surprised that your boat didn't run into the sharp rocks on this side of the island you must be one hell of a captain to miss all those.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona smiled coyly. "You could say that." She took his hand. "Fiona, at your service." She held out her hands, offering to help carry the box, but he strode past her. She shrugged and followed him, flagging down her two comrades instructing them to ready the raft.

"You seem awfully sure of yourself, Vex, offering to take on my whole crew. You know, we are at sea for months on end. You will be the first male figure they have set eyes on in some time. If you intend to board our ship, I suggest you prepare yourself."

She let her eyes roam over the rear of his retreating form and licked her lips subtly.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I smiled a bit when Fiona told me her name very pretty name I said it matches you perfectly I laughed in a loud voice I think i'll be able to take on whatever they can dish out. I looked around at the other crew they looked out of sorts I turned and looked at Fiona and could tell something was off about the whole thing but I buried that deep in my mind thinking she is probably telling the truth. I placed the box into the raft and climbed aboard and placed my sword right nearby "where does your kind hail from I said looking at Fiona staring at her beautiful ears.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Twitching her ears, triggered slightly by his question, she waved it off nonchalantly. "Never had a home," was her evasive reply. "Was rescued as a babe behind a tavern and have been living on the water ever since."

It was more or less true. A tavern wench had found her screaming behind a local brothel, supposedly abandoned by one of the workers there. Fiona had been raised there until the age of eighteen, at which point she escaped on a freighter to avoid being swept into the lifestyle. While she enjoyed a good romp as much as the next gal, she did not intend to make her life, lying on her back and at the mercy of others.

"What about you?" Her tone was clipped just a bit. "Have you always lived here?

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I watched Fiona reaction my question and saw her ears start to twitch at her story of being a orphan. I looked at the ship we were coming up on I smiled a bit yeah I guess you could say I have lived her all my life grew up with six other brothers. When it got time for the choosing its where our people decided on where your skills will be better suited for protecting the island I was chosen to live out here and keep a weathered eye on the coast for any pirates or people who want to invade our island for whatever purpose so I guess I started to chuckle a bit you could call me the watcher I said smiling at Fiona.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

"Hmm, the watcher finds the orphan. Seems the Fates are smiling upon us, friend." Fiona lay a hand tenderly on his shoulder. "Perhaps you should go back for a bottle or two of that wine. I would not mind a bit more conversation in my cabin on the subject this evening, if you can be spared for a few hours to humor a bored captain?"

She smiled warmly at him. Her mind was turning. Perhaps the Fates really were smiling. She was always one to act on a whim, and while her crew needed a place they could call home (their ship's cook being pregnant from their last docking and close to bursting), she believed this may not be the right place. They needed a little longer and some more insight to decide, however.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I chuckled slightly at her comment of the watcher finding the orphan. I think I can provide that as long as I can humor you with some questions of my own I said with a grin. I watched the ship come into view and saw it was pretty big Felines of all different shape and sizes I could see looking down at the Captain with a strange fox in tow I smiled up toward them making them see I wasn't a threat. I picked up the box and smiled a bit to Fiona letting her know i'll follow her.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

It did not take long for them to be boarding the ship. Fiona gave her second-in-command orders to maintain their position for the time being, and that she was not to be disturbed until they were called upon. After which, she led Vex down into her private cabin, offering him a comfortable seat in a plush arm chair, taking her own behind a massive mahogany desk. She shuffled some papers around and found what she was looking for. It was a description, written in perfect print, of the details of their last docking, including a full inventory report.

"You can take a glance at this, if you are still interested in trade, and if you see anything that interests you, you can let me know and I will have the girls bring it in for inspection."

She handed him the document and walked across the room to a small serving cart laden with flasks of various sizes. Uncorking one, she poured herself a glass of strawberry wine, offering Vex a glass as well. "Nowhere near as fancy as what you bring, but it will do for the time being."

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I followed behind Fiona watching her order her second in command. I smiled a bit and thought to myself she is a pretty good captain. We made our way into a cabin and Fiona directed me to sit in a plush armchair I watched her take a seat across from me. I held the paper and looked through the list and noticed a few things that would be worth a trade when she offered me a drink I gladly took one and took a sip I chuckled a bit when she said it's nowhere near as good as what I bring "Well I said with a smile when you don't live close to town to the closet bar you have to make your own drink it took a while ton get the recipe down but I think its pretty good and I'm glad you like it." I placed the paper back in front of Fiona and said " How about a case of silver ingots and also a few empty barrels I can also throw in a couple more crates of dry stag meat if you want?" I watched her reaction and noticed some key features about her such as her nose and ear were both beautiful beyond words.

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona took a moment to consider his proposal, leaning back in her chair. She twirled a luscious lock around her finger, flexing her claws in and out as she pondered. Silver was quite valuable and she was hesitant to part with it, but they really were desperate for supplies.

"Tell you what, you bring two more crates of stag, and what you can spare of that delicious wine, and we will drink to your honor tonight as you prepare to take the silver to shore."

She held out her hand as an offering.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I watched Fiona thinking of my proposal I smiled a bit thinking what else she was thinking of in that cute head of her's. I looked toward out to the sea hearing what she wanted for the silver and the barrels I chuckled a bit and said "I think I can do that" I said with a grin on my face I placed my hand onto her's and shook I thought to myself her paw is so soft. I was a little startled when she said that a dinner was to be held in my name I chuckled a bit and said: "that's not needed but if it means to spend more time with you captain I would gladly accept." I stood up and looked around the room "Now if you can permit me to take two of your lovely crewmen I shall fetch the stag meat and more of that wonderful wine."

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

Fiona had turned back to her charts, suddenly preoccupied by something or other, and simply nodded, waving him out with a pale paw before turning her back completely to him.

She did not intend to seem brusque or rude, but she had things that needed settling and she could only do that if he were gone, so she sent him away in a hurry. She looked forward to the night's festivities and as soon as the door had shut behind him, she rang for her second in command.

"Take the male ashore and let him fetch supplies. Make a suggestion he lock up as we know he won't be back 'til morning. I don't need anything being disturbed, should we ever decide to return. Make sure you are not followed back, but if you are, do not hesitate to take captives by force. I would like to be long gone before sunrise." With that, she dismissed Carmella and locked her door behind her.

The moody young wolf huffed as she turned to follow Vex to the raft that would take them ashore to collect supplies. "Captain says I am to follow and offer assistance where I can."

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I was quickly dismissed from the cabin I decided to walk around a bit and looked over the ship at what I could see the crew looked at me like they were eyeing meat for the first time in ages I smiled a bit and my mind began to race at what sort of adventures if I was on a ship like this I began to lick my lips a bit at thinking naughty thoughts about each crew member I saw. I walked back over to the raft and nearly walked into a beautiful young wolf I eyed her up and down and finally said: " I take it will be just the two of us." I held out my hand and softly said "What is your name if I may ask?"

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

The wolf's generous hips swayed as she sauntered over to him and leaped into the raft.

"I take it it will just be the two of us?"

"Guess so," she answered curtly. She was only 18, so she was still a pretentious about the world of men, having been sailing with Fiona for as long as she could remember. Carmella's eldest sister had been Fiona's best friend, but had abandoned them some time ago in lieu of a calmer, more grounded life in a port town. Carmella knew she had fallen in love with one of the locals, and she had heard Fiona whispering with their cook about the possibility of a litter on the way, but that was all nonsense. What was stopping the crew from helping look after a new family? What had her sister needed so desperately from a man that she could not find with the crew. Carmella had since then had a deep rooted intolerance for the male race.

"What is your name, if I may ask?"

Carmella looked up at him and huffed. "Carmella. And yours is Vex, if I remember correctly?" She knew she should be polite, but she was annoyed, more than anything.

 

[DrekSilverBorn]

I smiled a bit when she told me her name, Carmella."That's a very pretty name and yes that is my name but if you prefer to call me something else your more than welcome too I said with a grin." I took both the paddles and dipped them into the water and began to row back to the island taking glances here and there of Carmella body every time I stole a glance I would get immediately erected I chuckled to myself noticing that this also happened when I looked at Fiona I paddled a good way before resting my wrists " So I spoke in a low voice is it true the cook is pregnant with a litter." trying to strike up a conversation "Also has anyone ever told you are absolute beautiful."

 

[Makitsu_Trinity]

"Completely unrelated topics," Carmella answered disdainfully. She sighed, remembering the captain's orders. "Yes, Cook is due to deliver soon. No, I don't believe I have ever heard such a shallow compliment before, but thank you."

She moved to take her turn at the oars, moving with the same simple, fluid motion that Vex had just demonstrated.

"What about you? Anything you care to share about yourself to make this ride go a little faster?"

She didn't really care, but it sure beat sitting in silence, she supposed. A little side note the captain had given her also kept niggling the back of her brain. She wrinkled her nose at the thought, but what had to be done, had to be done. She needed to woman up and get it over with. That being said, she would not get herself anywhere with him if she continued with this attitude.

She sighed and rowed deeper, leaning far forward to give him an easy peek at her deep valley of cleavage.
