In time, Sinbad and his crew arrived in a misty, fairly warm morning while I was receiving my currency from trading some valuable mollusks I dug up from diving at the deep end of my river. I saw Sinbad and Kale themselves get off board, heading straight into the marketplace, carrying some bags which I figured of some importance to trade. Checking myself, I headed off to Tipo's tent. Tipo was attending another customer when I got by, and by luck, Sinbad and Kale was close by, trading with the food merchant nearby. The bags that they were carrying was full of exotic fruit that I had never seen in real life except for tv back in my old world, such like the starfruit, date plum, jujube. Must have gotten them off the northern part of the sea, or raided them off a foreign ship.

Tipo must have seen my curious look because he spoke, "That's Sinbad in the red and the black man is Kale, his first mate. They usually come by every two or three months. They are pirates, honarable ones actually. If you want to speak to them, you have to get through Kale first for Sinbad is the captain of the red ship, The Chimera.". I nodded considerably at that.

Kale must have overheard Tipo's comment because he looked over, saw me in a slightly surprised way. He widened his eyes understandably when he looked politely at my attire and hair. He smiled and walked over.

"Hello, I hear you were asking about me and the Captain. I never met a woman like you, especially with your hair like yours.". commented Kale in his deep, velvet voice.

I chuckled, "You must be Kale. Thanks for the comment. I was wondering to join your cohort, and ask him for a deal. The name is Silver.".

"What kind of deal, miss Silver?". asked Kale curiously.

"I have silvers and diamonds and I hope to trade that for a place upon your ship. I have wanted to go see Syracuse because it's kinda personal for me.". I chirped firmly.

Kale asked, "Nice place, beautiful archeiture, busy harbor, lots of people. How many silvers and diamonds are you implying to trade, miss Silver?".

I smirked, "Last time I counted, it's 44 silvers and 15 diamonds. That has to be enough for board, don't you think, Kale?".

Kale chuckled, "Actually, that's more than enough, Silver. Is that right, captain?". I widened my eyes when I saw Sinbad right next to us, on my side. Gods, I didn't notice him! He's sneaky!

"That's a excellent deal, Kale. I just might accept her on board if she respects me and the crew.", Sinbad smirked cockily.

I raised an eyebrow, ""Captain, I will respect you and the crew on two conditions if you are willing to listen.". I replied with sass.

Sinbad began to retort when Kale stopped him with a look of his face, and Sinbad only sighed, shaking his head.

Kale gently asked, "What may be these conditions, Silver, ma'am?".

I smiled widely, "Alright, the first one is that you teach me to swordfight. I'm fairly good with my sword, but I need more practice, and that won't happen until I have a experienced teacher , and I bet you are it, Captain. And finally, the second and last condition is that the crew teaches me to sail and work the deck. I always wanted to know the seas and live the experience on a real-life ship like yours, Captain.". Sinbad and Kale listened and looked at each other silently, and nodded. They told me that they accepted my conditions and we sealed the deal with my bag given over to Sinbad. We headed over to The Chimera after saying goodbye to Tipo and Kicha, and I met the colorful crew and friendly Spike. They liked me well enough, through I had to tell Rat to back off a bit after he tried to flirt with me. I punched him gladly, and Jin, Li the twins commented on that with a laugh and a bet. The day passed by with myself putting my hammock/blanket in a seperate room from the crew's room, and getting a great first lesson in swordfighting and sailing from everybody. Even Sinbad accepted me after he saw my moves and style, saying that he had never seen anything like it.

I headed to bed late after listening to Kale about the night stars' map, and I smiled to myself as I drifted off to dreamland. Today has been one of the best days I ever had, and I can't wait to be involved once the movie begins sooner or later. It's going to be interesting, for reals.
