I was just about ready to close my small shop when I then heard the door swing open. "Sorry, we are just about to close," I yelled from the back room. "Don't worry, love, I'll be quick. I'm just looking for a weapon that can kill a magical being," He yelled back as I then headed to the front of the shop to see a man standing there in all leather and he has a hook for a hand. His dark hair that curled perfectly at the tips, eyes that sparkled in the light just right, and a smirk that could kill.

"Well, I have swords dipped in the blood of a princess that will kill a unicorn, Daggers made from gold and ember flowers that can kill a fairy and a few other objects that can harm creatures like goblins to witches. What is it you are looking to kill?" I asked as he walked over to my display of swords. "Do you have anything that can kill the dark one?" He asked as I nearly dropped the weapon I was holding in my hand.
"Heavens no! I wish I had a weapon as such but I don't even know where to find a weapon that can kill him. Isn't he immortal?" I questioned as he nodded. "Aye. But he took my hand, so I am seeking my revenge for that crocodile," He said as I then glanced that the metal attachment that hung off his body where his left hand should have been.
"I do know where someone might come across a weapon that has the ability to kill immortal beings," I said as he walked over to me with a sense of urgency for me to spill what I needed to say. "There is a castle not too far that is hosting a ball and kings and queens from all around are invited but they must bring a weapon of mass destruction to help better the other kingdoms," I said as he smiled and then ran out of my shop.
I figured that meant he was about to go to the ball but I ran after him since I also figured that he would need some help. I followed him all the way to a pub. I stepped inside after him and saw him walk up to a group of men. "Are you following my captain?" A smaller gentleman stopped me as I was about to walk up to the man I had met before. "What? No! I was just going to help him!" I said as he raised a dagger to my throat. "Hey! I'm just trying to help!" I exclaimed which caught the hook man's attention.
"Smee, lower your blade from this woman's throat," He ordered which the smaller man slowly did. "What brings you here?" The hook man asked as I walked over to the table behind him and sat down which caused him to sit down in a sense of accompaniment. "You are a pirate?" I asked as he nodded once more. "I need a way out of here," I whisper yelled as a sense of urgency to my sentence.
"What about your shop?" He asked as I scoffed at the thought. "I hate that place. I only work there because my parents left it to me in their will but it doesn't bring me much money and I live there too since they didn't leave me a place to live. I just want to get out of here and have a sense of adventure again like I did when I was small," I said as he took a sip of his drink that sat in front of him, and then he smiled at me which I saw as a good thing.
"Why would I give you a ride on my ship without ways of payment?" He questioned which I knew he would ask about. "Well, that's where I come in with the ball. You expect some kings and queens to allow a bunch of pirates to a ball where there are jewels beyond belief?" "Yes?" "NO! They would kill you as soon as you show up and don't you dare think you actually stand a chance with your small crew up against some knights in shining armor," I said as he looked at me like I was completely mad.
