Original X-roads-2003

Meanwhile in the Past…
 
    Jamie glanced up with hazy eyes, he could just barely make out the form of a dark skinned red headed woman.
    The woman leaned over to inspect him more closely. He heard her speak in a heavy English accent, “Toss ‘em overboard!” as she rose. Then she turned and walked back towards wheel.
    “What the..” several crew members gasped.
    Jamie phazed out as a group of men tried to seize him. He floated upwards a little to notice he was on a ship. With a crew who could have been kin to the bandits in Zaria Forest.
    “Hmm.” the woman walked back towards the group. “He may be useful to us after all.”
    The men stopped trying to grasp him, and moved back a considerable distance.
    Jamie floated down and watched them carefully, “Whut’s in it fer me?”
    The woman and crew began to laugh. She walked forward til she was standing within sword range. “Anything you want.” she stated.
    “Anythin.” Jamie pondered as he materialized.
    “This is the Miona.” A larger man than the others stepped forward. “This is Captian Naomi.” he walked to the woman and stopped.
    “The pirate captain?” Jamie was a little shocked. He thought that was a myth.
