Narissa, Sister Of Sinbad
Heyo booklovers! Just another idea I had when I was listening to the soundtrack for Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. One of the best movies of all time! Let me know what you think of it and ON WITH THE STORY!
Prologue
"Wake up my beauties, rise and shine! It's a brand new day and the mortal world is at peace. But not for long! Just look at them. I pull one tiny thread and their whole world unravels into chaos, glorious chaos. And what could be more perfect than this? A noble prince, a priceless treasure, and two black hearted thieves! Oh, this is going to be fun! Cetus, you know what to do. Let the games begin! A woman with long black hair said with an evil smile standing over the earth.
A blue ship sped along on the ocean, trying and failing to outrun the pirate ship gaining on its tail. "Gentlemen" A man said beginning to speak but was interrupted by a young woman his age. "And gentlewoman!" She snapped and raised a walnut-colored eyebrow. "Sorry Riss. And gentlewoman, this is what we've been waiting for. The world's most valuable object is on its way to Syracuse. It's a shame it'll never get there." The man said, grinning devilishly at his crew as they started laughing. "After today, we retire to Fiji." There were shouts of excitement from the crew and Rissa. "Kale!" "Aye Captain!" The taller man replied, steering the boat closer to the ship who would apparently be the victim of a pirate raid. "Spike!" Rissa yelled before Sinbad could. "Hey, that's my line!" He yelled at her. She smirked and retorted, "Gotta be quicker next time, bro. The world won't wait for ya! She grabbed a rope and swung across, let go of the rope and flipping in midair before unsheathing her twin knives. While knives had a pretty short reach and you had to be quick and nimble, there were more places they could get through armor than a sword. Also, they were lighter.
She landed in the middle of a group of soldiers, and before they realized what was going on, she was disarming them and knocking them out with the hilts of her knives. One soldier grabbed her braid, but yelped when his hand encountered the spikes she had woven in that morning. She smiled then turned around and head butted him and went to go join her brother and Kale. "What did you think of that move? Pretty slick, huh?" He asked smugly. She laughed when Kale said "I think you overworked it, just a bit." He immediately pouted. "Aw, man! I overwork-"He paused as Kale turned his head to catch a sword in his teeth. The soldier holding said sword stopped short at such an unusual parry then yelled in rage as he was thrown overboard. "Oh, and Sinbad overworked it?" She said, smirking.
"Proteus!" She heard Sinbad say and whipped around, smacking Kale in the face with her braid. "Huh, what, where?" Then looked at where her brother was looking. "Still fight like an old lady, Proty!" She yelled. "Rissa?" He stopped fighting long enough to look up then was tackled to the ground by the very guys he had been fighting. "Ooh!" Riss and her twin said in unison and wincing. "What happened to you two? Where have you been?" Proteus demanded. "Hey love to stay and chat, but we've got places to go, stuff to steal." Sinbad said as she twisted one of her knives into the lock, and breaking it off. Pretty useless door now. "Thanks Riss! Stay out here with the guys? I think Proteus wants to talk, he's got that look on his face." He said in an undertone. She sighed and nodded. They hadn't been in there for very long though when a sea monster came out of nowhere and started attacking the ship. "What the..?!" She heard Sinbad yell from behind her as she started stabbing and slicing any tentacles that came her way. "Well ,I see you're busy, uh, so stay in touch." Her idiotic twin said. "Wait! Wait! You're just going to run away?" Proteus yelled at him. "Uh, yeah. Come on Riss, let's go and come back another day." He said to her. In response, she punched him in the arm. "Ow! What the heck is wrong with YOU?!" He yelled. "You go, I'm going to help our best friend. We owe him that much." I said then leaped back into the fray. He tried to go back to his ship, but it was pushed away by one of the sea monster's fins. "Whaa- you- MY SHIP!" he yelled in anger. "Sinbad!" She heard Kale yell. She grabbed Proteus and pulled him out of the way before he could get swallowed like the soldier 2 seconds ago. "Heads up!" They both looked behind them to see Sinbad standing next to the gunpowder holding a lighted torch. He jumped on one end of a board and the barrels of gunpowder went flying through the air, and Lobster Boy grabbed them with his tongue and swallowed them. "Now, stand back for sushi." Sinbad said, pulling us up off the floor. Smoke started coming out of its mouth, and it vomited up green slime and the soldier it had swallowed. The man gasped, realizing he was still alive, took a moment to collect himself, then screamed and charged grabbing his sword. "Give that guy a raise" Sinbad and Riss said in unison then she glared at him. "what do we do now? The idiot got rid of all the gunpowder." She said, glancing at her twin. "I got an idea." He said and whistled, yelling for Lobster Boy. As the tongue shot out at him, he grabbed one of Riss' knives and pinned it to the deck of the ship. "Oooooh, you are so DEAD when we get out of here alive!" She thought as he grabbed some rope, threw it around the mast, grabbed Proteus' hand and they ran up the mast. She continued slashing with her other knife, distracting the monster while Sinbad completed his plan. She dived for cover just as two wooden spikes buried themselves in its head. "Just like old times!" Sinbad said, he and Proteus laughing. Until she walked up to him and started punching him. "DON'T. YOU. DARE. USE. MY. KNIVES. LIKE. THAT. AGAIN. AND. DON'T. YOU. DARE. TRY. TO. ABANDON. ME. LIKE. THAT. AGAIN!" She yelled, punching him with each word while he yelped and tried to hide, and Proteus couldn't stop laughing. "Definitely like old times now." She let Sinbad get up, then was pushed down by him when a huge tentacle grabbed him. "SINBAD!" She and Proteus screamed and tried to dive overboard to go after him, but Kale grabbed her and soldiers grabbed Proteus. "Kale, dammit, let me go!" She screamed as he carried her back to Sinbad's ship. "I will tie you to the ship's mast if you don't stop squirming and yelling curse words at me." He said sternly and I stopped so when he put me down on the deck, I immediately started pacing. Until Sinbad popped up and Kale swung him over the side of the ship, when I immediately. He and Kale started talking, something about Eris, while I looked at Proteus who smiled and put away his sword. "Men, set sail for Syracuse." He said
WHEW! I didn't mean to make it such a long chapter, but once I started, I didn't know where to stop. "Sigh" Read and Review Peace out, booklovers!
