The smooth wind ruffled the ocean. The wild waves lapping up against boat that sliced through the choppy sea. The wind battered the white sails. Shaking the British flag that was high upon the ship. A mellow screech sliced through the chattered and calls of the deck. Large grey speckled wings gliding the bird through the air. Narrow hazel eyes watching as sharp taloned toes stretched out, the thick wood of the railing being pierced sharply. Lifting a yellow beak up, the bird watched the rocking ship. His beady eyes set upon a few people scattering the boat, eyes set on a arguing pair. Long fiery red locks tumbled past the shoulders trailing down the persons back. Two hands placed firmly on her swaying hips as the sun began to rise creating a thin shadow. In front of her was a man. His greying lips a thin line as a snarl ripped past rotting teeth. A tongue flickered across the dry lips, dampening the cracking flesh. His eyes narrowed as he stepped forward "On a ship's deck is no place for a woman" He gritted his teeth as the words slid past his lips as his fists clenched. "I think you are awfully mistaken!" She hissed. Cutting her pale hand through the air. "I believe not missy! You see women are the devils of the sea. Sirens! Luring men to their death! Nasty little serpents! Trapping sailors with a flutter of their lashes! Wenches the lot of them!" His voice escalated into a snappy yell. Lily resisted the urge to scream back, defend her and other women who were not low wenches. "I suggest Captain that you rethink your words. My father entrusted you to be able to bring us to and from Italy safely. He paid you too much in my opinion, don't make him regret that!" She warned, her voice dropping as she turned, her eyes caught the bird of prey. She watched as the large bird took off into the sky once again, emerald green eyes staring after it. The sun stretched across the deck, alighting her porcelain face. Large bright green eyes framed with curled black lashes. A petite nose shadowed her heart shaped face, and her rosy lips curled as she watched the bird she called 'Asper'. Her pale blonde hair created an angelic effect. A thin silky dress outlined against the sun made her only paler. A dark emerald green sash around her waist, tucking in the thin material. On her feet where short black ankle boots. She wriggled her toes as she stared at her feet. Before watching the sea. Her eyes flickered back to the shore. Her teeth scraping across the rosy pink flesh of her lip. Her green eyes scanning the horizon, unaware of the ship sailing towards them.
