Chapter2: A family gift, but for who?
"Kira?"
"Aye?"
"Where exactly are we meant to find the Rose Quartz?"
"Well if we're on time then they'll be jus' finished buildin' i'."
"So then."
"Jus' leave i' ta me James. Afta all i' is a gift from my family."
"Aye. Where'll we meet after?"
"The Leaky Tavern o' course."
"Of course." James replied looking back to the port they were fast approaching.
Once they'd arrived they told their crews to be back by sunrise in 2 days and left to attend to their own business. Kira quietly made her way down to the other side of the port, where she knew she would find it. There, just launched and having not yet made her maiden voyage was the Rose Quartz.
She looked at the ship in admiration, even though to her it came nothing close to the Dragonchilde, and she jumped slightly when someone spoke-up behind her.
"Captain Kira." Turning around she smiled at the man.
"Aye. Ye're the head builder? Is everything set?"
"Yes Captain," replied the man, "fully stocked for the trip and all."
"Good."
"So I'll be leaving her to you then."
"Aye, I'll have 'er new crew 'ere tomorrow morn, savvy?"
"Yes captain." The man turned around and walked back to his small house.
"Did ye find 'em all?" James looked up as Kira placed two drinks on the table.
"Of course," he replied, pulling his drink to his side of the table, "some of them were confused but they all agreed to be there tomorrow morning."
"Good," she picked up her drink, "we're all set. So let's enjoy ourselves now." They clinked their drinks together and drank.
The next morning Kira, James and Kira's first mate Rick went down to the docks to meet the Rose's new crew, which was made up of a few of Kira's crew and a few of James' crew. Kira led them to the Rose Quartz and got all the crew om deck, then she went up to the helm.
"G'mornin' mates, this ship 'ere is the Rose Quartz," a murmur went through the crowd, "aye that ship. Now seein' as we 'ave no right ta choose the Rose's real crew, as tha' should be up ta the real captain when he gets this, fo' this trip ye'll be manning the Rose, n' Rick 'ere 'ill be yer captain, savvy?" There were collective nods from the crew. "Good, we'll all be settin sail for Port Royal tomoroow morn then." The crew drifted off to get their stuff from the other two ships, while Kira and James headed back to the Leaky Tavern.
