Shivers ran through Linebeck's body as the cold air or the dungeon hit him. He was not the type of material to be traveling through dungeons, especially without any type of weapon to accompany him, but that didn't matter to him right now. He was to foused on a newly surfaced rumor that there was valuable treasure inside the dungeon, and when the words 'valuable' and 'treasure' are put into a phrase, it's a must have for him.

Several images of different things came into his mind, Regal RIng... Achlemy Stone... there were so many things that could be considered valuable. These thoughts caused him to get slightly more excited on finding the treasure. Linebeck started to rush through the dungeon a bit faster, ocassionally wiping out by tripping over a couple of rocks and cracks in the floor a few times, but he managed to stay on his feet most of the time.

Reaching the bottom pits of the dungeon, he stopped dead in his tracks as confusion hit him. There was a strange looking, and rather large looking door in front of him, with a trap door just beneath it. There was some type of puzzle on the door, that seemed to be messed with another time, which dissapointed Linebeck because there's the possility of someone being here before him, but he decided to investigate more anyways. He walked closer to the door, lightly stepping on the pitfall doors to see if they were sturdy enough. He examined the rather strange looking puzzle pieces on the door. 'These could be the way past the door, eh?', the thought. Without thought, he reached out to pull one out and the floor fell beneath him as he let out a surprised shout. The fall seemed to last quite a while, but he finally fell into, which would be pure horror to him, a pool of water. With not knowing how to swim, he started to panic and flail about in attempt to swim. He fell below the surface and felt water pouring down his throat. His vision started to blur, and things went black. He couldn't notice that a person, or something was attempting to pull him up to the surface.


Linebeck slowly opened his eyes, soon finding himself shutting them from the light coming from the campfire nearby. He sat up and wiped the crust off of his eyes and looked around. Someone must have saved him earlier from his fall, but who? It's obvious that someone else is, or was here. Another sleeping bag layed out nearby, nd a couple of fishes cooking over the campfire. He heard rustling over in a couple of bushes nearby and immediantly converted his full attention over there, with slight fear and interest on what was about to come out. The shilluette of the person seemed quite short, probably between 5'0" and 5'4". Their eyes are what caught his attention, though, bright orange, and quite intimidating from the bright glow in darkness, but the expression from them seemed quite ammused.

"So, you're finally awake? I thought you were going to remained passed out for a couple more days, lazy bum." The rather femenine voice had a slightly mocking tone in it, which practically make Linebeck boil inside.

"Why don't you come out of the shadows so I beat you for that.", and to his suprise, the person actually obeyed and walked out of the shadows, and what he saw made his anger go away to be filled with butterflies in his stomach. The person who came out was female, obviously, but had gorgeous features, long, bright hair tied back into a high bun, light skin, and those eyes didn't help him from being captivated by her. Wait? Captivated? He didn't even meet her yet and he's already starting to have silly feelings for her.

She snickered at him, "You're quite rude, you know that? I wouldn't recommend being rude to the person who saved your life? I could have just left you there to drown." Linebeck didn't respond, but only watched the woman walked next to the campfire and onto her sleeping bag where she took a seat. She messed around with the fish that were cooking, "So, are you hungry? These fish are nearly done." She asked, looking over towards him.

Ignoring the rumbling of his belly, he shook his head, "Not really, and no offense, but I wouldn't take food from a stranger, you can't really trust anyone nowadays."

"I'm Camille." She responded with a tone of amusement.

"Linebeck. I'm Captain Linebeck."

Camille raised an eyebrow with interest, "That name rings a bell, um, let's see..." Linebeck watched her as she stared down onto the ground, deep in thought. He began to doze off a bit from watching her until he heard her speak in an upbeat tone, "Captain Linebeck! You're the famous treasure hunter!"

Smirking a bit, he nodded, "Yes I am.", he knew deep down it was a lie that he was a 'famous treasure hunter', most times he'll fail utterly in attempt to find something, or, he would coward out as well.

Linebeck caught his eyes with Camille's when he looked back up. Something sparked inside of him again. Changing the subject to avoid the akward feeling, he spoke out, "Since you save me, I can't really think of anything to do in return, but how should I repay you?" Already, there was a huge list of what he didn't want her to request, especially his treasure.

Camille seemed to have found herself in thought as she looked down at the ground again, then she gave a rather devilish, but excited grin as she looked back up, "You are a famous explorer, right? I've been wondering if you could possibly take me with you on your adventures."

Linebeck's eyes grew wide with suprise, he didn't expect that, and that's even worse than her taking any of his belongings. "I... can't. You probably have love ones at home too, do you?" He watched her smile fade, which kind of upset him.

"Well, I don't have much family, it's just me, my dad, my cat, and then the other crew members, but they probably wouldn't mind me leaving."

Wait. Crew members? "Are you a pirate by chance?"

"Yes, I am, with my father being the captain of our crew. I'm considered to be his right hand man, or woman... but yeah." She had a long pause in her voice, "Just please, take me with you."

Linebeck let out a rather long sigh. Why was she so determined to travel with him? Could her make god use of her during is explorations? Maybe. "What the hell, why not."

Smiling, Camille shouted which made Linebeck jump a bit. "That's great! My ship is on a nearby coast, we'll head over there tomorrow if you're feeling better."

Linebeck nodded. As she began to pull the fish out of the fire, he thought to himself, what had he gotten himself into?


AUTHOR'S NOTE: So, I'm going to attempt to make a series, which I'll probably fail horribly at, but I might as well try! Camille is my OC, I currently don't have a reference for her, but I'll make one and post it on dA so I can link it from here, but for now you guys are just going to have to deal with dialogue! Please leave reviews on how the story went and how to improve on my writing, it would be appreciated!
