The ship was sailing on the ocean on a calm night just after sunset. She was standing next to the captain when the cry came out from the crows nest. "PIRATES!" The captain looked to her and told her to go below deck. She went below, her tail swaying behind her. She went to her room and looked around worried. Pirate attacks weren't uncommon but she'd never been aboard when there was such an attack.
Cannon fire rocked the ship and sent her off balance. She fell hitting her head and sank into unconsciousness unaware the ship had been boarded and swords were clanging. After awhile, the sword fight stopped. All fell quiet. The door opened and a pirate walked in searching for treasure.
"Well, what have we here?" The pirate turned her over. "Hmm, the captain is going to love you. He's been searching for a mithra for ages." The pirate picked her up and carried her back to the top of the ship. He grabbed a rope and swung across. He landed in front of the captain.
"Capt' Sedi. For you." He laid the mithra at his feet. The Captain's eyes lit up. "Loot the rest of the ship and set it on fire." "Yes sir." The pirate went back to the other ship and started shouting out orders. Captain Sedi picked up the kitty and carried her to his private quarters. He laid her on the bed and sat in a chair and waited for her to waken.
Hours later she awoke; groggy and disoriented. Holding her head she moaned, "Ow, my head... What happened to me? Where am i?". "It's ok Love I wouldn't think of harming you. A Pirate like me doesn't come across such a beautiful girl; such as yourself, everyday you know..",said a voice coming from a dark figure sitting across the room. The figure stood up, a look of terror crossed the mithra's face. "Did you say pirate?!" Exclaimed the injured mithra. "None of that matters now, you are where fate has brought you. You are injured, allow me to tend to your wounds" said the figure. She looked into the shadows at him, head throbbing from her injury. He seemed to glide across the floor to a metal speaking tube, where he spoke some words she couldn't quite make out. Moments later a man came to the door with a tray carrying a bowl of warm water and bandages. The man set it on the table by the bed, hurrying to the door turning and saluting the figure, then quickly leaving the room.The room began to grow hazy red then black. Silence other than a soft voice , whispering "sleep now love, I have much to tell you when you awake.".
