The Blue Dust, as Fairy Gary had put it, was one of 'nature's mightiest multipliers'. It was why Pixie Hollow had an endless supply of pixie dust. And as long as fairies have pixie dust, they weren't bound to depend on their feet.
However, when a s...
The ship, what was once made for the seas, now glided through the clouds.
"Pork! Starborg! Get up the mizzen and raise the royal!" James, the captain of the crew, commanded, both his hands gripping on the wooden wheel.
"Aye, aye, captain!"
Two pirates untied two ropes from a pole. The ropes hoisted them way up on top of one of the sails.
"Raising the royal!"
They untied some ropes again, freeing the smaller sheet of sail on top of a wider one and sending it rolling down.
James pulled the lever right beside him. "More pixie dust!"
The propeller on top of the ship spun more swiftly, and a fresh round of pixie dusts coated the whole ship. James laughed as the huge vessel tinged with gold lurched upwards in between the formation of clouds. It was an incredibly magnificent sight in the vast expanse of sky.
"Hahahaha! Who's in the mood for plunder?"
Meanwhile, behind them, seven fairies sped towards the back of the ship. They stopped in front of a window made up of tiny diamond-shaped glass.
Zarina faced the others, a serious expression on her face. "You guys turn the ship around. I'm getting back that blue dust."
"Right."
With her legs, Zarina kicked one of the small diamond glass barricading the window, shattering it. They used this to slip inside the ship.
"Look alive, men. The second star! Dead ahead." James' eyes glinted with wicked light. "Nothing but smooth sailing-"
A thud below the deck made him look down. Another sound followed- and another.
"Huh?"
The door to the cabin below swung open.
"Yahh!"
"Fairies! Fairieees!"
Indeed, the fairies emerged from the cabin looking mighty in their pirate outfits.
Zarina looked as pirate as her usual self with her ruffled dress and boots.
Silvermist had on a pirate hat and some sort sash. Tinkerbell and Fawn also had the same looking sash strapped from their shoulders to their waists.
Vidia sported a fabric bangle on her left forearm and a belt around her waist.
Rosetta had a pearl accessory wrapped around her hips and was the only one to have a black eye-patch covering her right eye.
With her belt, a gold fabric also wrapped around Iridessa's head, shining under the sunlight.
They were all a unique ensemble channelling their pirate selves. They all had pirate accessories one way or another, but they're all the same in one thing:
They're holding up shiny swords.
Well, tiny, sharp swords.
The fairies looked ridiculously tiny against the marvelousness of the ship. James only looked down at them in superiority. "Haha, she's back? Well, get them off my ship!"
"Gladly!" The muscled pirate laughed, unsheathing two of his swords in both of his hands.
More sounds of weapons being unsheathed sounded around the ship as others happily followed suit. They closed in on the fairies.
Bravely, the fairies charged forward.
Soon, the sound of clashing swords clanged.
From afar, the pirates looked like they were fighting off a batch of flies. Their big, burly swords slashed through the air and miraculously faced off with the fairies' 'swords' the size of a pin.
The sun shined directly behind them, silhouetting their fight.
"It's actually quite amusing." James laughed, his hands still on the wheel. "Stand your ground, men!"
As he continued to watch, a tinkling sound came from behind him. He glanced back, only to be met with Zarina. With her sword drawn out, Zarina went straight toward the blue dust on James' necklace and slashed with the speed of the wind.
The blue dust clanged and swung from the impact.
The pirate captain looked annoyed, but then smiled smugly at the fairy a second later as he held the dangling dust in his hands which she didn't manage to snatch away.
Still, Zarina hovered in a fighting stance in front of him. She sliced her sword in the air in a sequence of clean, smooth moves, her fierce eyes fixed on the pirate.
A challenge to a duel.
James laughed, a crazed look on his face. He let go of the dust, letting it dangle on his neck, and called out to one of the pirates. "Yang, the helm!"
"Aye, aye, captain!"
Way below the deck, the muscled pirate let go of the two tiny swords he pinched between his fingers, curtsying.
"Ladies, 'til we meet again."
Tinkerbell and Vidia held their swords up in disbelief . They had been trying to pull free their swords from the pirate, who found the 'swords' only worthy of his fingers but not his fists with how tiny they were. The once straight as pin swords were now crooked and bent, looking like pitiful scraps of metal in their every angle.
"Great," Vidia said sarcastically as the muscled pirate jumped over the deck behind them.
The pirate replaced James on the wheel.
"Ahh." James turned to Zarina menacingly, drawing out his mighty sword. He pointed it at her. "You dare to fight the captain, do you?"
"Only until I get that dust." Confidently, Zarina's own sword continued to point at him.
"Hahahaha! Well, this should be fun."
James swung his sword, and Zarina met the attack head on. Again, a new batch of clashing swords sounded on the ship. It did not take long for the two to be taken to the railing-edge by the fight.
