"Oie Captain! We are almost to the docs!" A loud voice calls from the crows nest. The captain, who is driving the ship, looks up and grins.

"Prepare for docking! Don't drop any of the cargo or I'll kick you off my ship you heathens!" He calls to his man running a hand through his brownish grey hair. He adjusts his black eyepatch and grins. His deep purple eyes shine with delight as he begins to imagine the money he'll make for his goods wondering how he should spend every cent he's given. Finally he slowly pulls them into the dock being sure not to scratch his beloved ship. The ropes are tied off and the plank of wood is laid out for his crew to cross. He adjusts his sword on his back and touches the scar which runs between his eyes as if he's feeling it for good luck before walking to the plank ready to be the first off his ship from this long journey. He steps on and takes a breath enjoying the air before suddenly-

"Hey catch that girl!!" One of his crew yells and the captain turns seeing a woman in a black cloak holding a cloth bag darting towards him. He gasps and goes to pull his sword but is too late the woman knocking him off the plank into the water. She rushes onto the docks and takes off past the crowd of people trying to help the captain from the water. She runs into an alley and hides behind a barrel panting softly. She pulls her cloak off revealing her dirty blonde hair. Her deep brown eye closes as she leans her head back and groans softly.

"I never made it into that dusty old captain's room... I wanted to swipe one of his sick eyepatches... oh well my cloth one will do for now~" She says to herself, a surprisingly thick Irish accent coming from her, as she touches the white patch covering her eye. The end of a scar pokes out just below the patch the rest clearly covered. She shakes her head and fixes the black ribbon around her throat before taking off the cloak and standing shoving the cloth back into her backpack. "Now where did I find myself this time...?"  She says looking just past the wall to see her surroundings.
