One hundred theme challenge! This is a challenge developed by someone on Deviantart, and I thought it was pretty nifty. To start it off, this is going to be a side project for when I feel like not working on my main stories. Once I'm done with that, it'll be my focus 'till the end. The stories are not going to be connected.

Introduction

I stared at the gorgeous pirate that was limply hanging from the tree. A loose strand of blond hair fell from her creative up do and her sword on her side looked like it was threatening to fall off. After being confined to an island for so long, and the only pretty girls being some lady that can balance pots on her head, seeing someone so beautiful made my heart race. I looked down and prepared for my jump off of the small cliff.

I jumped onto the hard-packed dirt, practically skinning my knee as a result of my rare uncoordination. I started to walk to the center of the clearing when,

"CAAAW!" A loud screech sounded above the clearing, and I looked up to see two menacing birds swooping down, carrying a large person-like creature in each of their talons. They dropped the blue monsters down, and unlike me, they rolled on the ground and gracefully bounced back up, unharmed. They let out an unsettling call and lunged for me. I gasped and drew out my sword as I jumped away from their attack.

I sliced at one monster but it quickly jumped back. Apparently my training didn't help as much as I'd hoped. I took a quick glance at the girl who was still hanging from the small branch. I gulped and charged for the creatures.

"ARROUGGH!" I roared and did a jump attack at another pig-like annoyance. Blade and skin made contact, and the thing called out in rage and pain. I took three more swings and the creature fell back onto the ground, exploding into a puff of curling purple and black smoke. My first kill, ever. I swelled with pride until a hit in the head made me fall to the ground. "Ugh…" After a second of recovery, I jumped back up and swung towards the creature. A shouted another battle cry and slashed until I was swinging at black purple smoke.

I sat down to catch my breath when all of a sudden, above me, I heard irritated, scared grunts and groans. I looked up expecting to see another bird, but then saw the pirate girl swinging wildly from the fragile branch. "No…" I gasped and quickly stood up, holding out my arms, praying I would catch her.

"Ahh!" She yelled and I heard a snap. I looked up just in time to see her falling fast. I braced for impact, and with a surprised 'oof' from both of us, I was holding the girl of my dreams. A fell back on my butt still holding her, newly-wed style. She stared into me as I did her, looking deep into her dark blue eyes.

"Who…" She whispered, seeming somewhat entranced by me.

"Li-," I started to answer her unasked question, but was quickly interrupted.

"Captain! Captain! Are you okay!" I looked up to see a wide-chested man run into the cavern, followed by a shorter man with broken glasses. They looked around for a second until they spotted me. "Tetra!" They all shouted happily. I took a look down at the girl in my arms and she winked at me for some reason. I stood up and set her down, legs first, onto the ground.

"You're lucky to be alive Captain!" The broken glasses guy shouted and put a hand on her shoulder, completely blocking me out of the picture.

"Yes! Let's get back to the ship!" The other pirate-looking man said.

"Wai-," I heard Tetra start to comment, but was quickly hushed and pushed to the front of the cave. I sighed.

Tetra.

I liked that name.

Maybe someday…

Maybe.

I hold reviews close to my heart, newly-wed style… Is that weird?
