Joslyn Feral stood at the shaded bow of her ship and inhaled the salt air of the ocean surrounding her.

The Black Paradise (....-_-) was a sleek vessel of a most unique design. Capable of both space and sea travel it was equipped with every convenience one would need including a high power engine.

Which was a necessity when you are one Joslyn Feral, Captain of the Black Paradise and leader of a fleet of ships known as the Sea Shadows.

"Ah yes... the wonders of the ocean eh, Fang? Joslyn looked behind her at her loyal pet and friend.

Yes the mighty dragon, Mighty Saber Fang. Weighing in at a full 10 pounds and at the height of a foot (when standing on it's hind legs) Fang was about as mighty as a kitten. (And just about the same size) She was a strange mesh of silver, gray and dark blue scales from the tip of her snout to the toes of her dainty feet. Her large cat like eyes where yellow. Her head and slender snout where set on an arched neck and topped by large ears (similarly shaped, oddly enough, to a bats) and an odd amount of white hair that fell over her eyes ran between her ears and down her neck (like a horses mane). A tuft of the same hair topped her incredible flexible blue- scaled tail.

In fact the flexibility of her tail was now on display as she hung upside down by it from a perch that looked to be made for an overly large parrot. Dragons, like Fang, where one of the numerous types of creatures that had appeared on the earth a thousand years ago.

Fang looked up at Joslyn with those far to sweet puppy eyes and trilled a melodic whistle followed by a low hum.

Joslyn rolled her eyes at her pet's antics and turned back to the water.

"Captain." A computerized voice called out.

Joslyn turned and opened a floor hatch then walked down a set of stairs and onto the in closed deck bellow. In the center of the control deck was a half circle shaped computer system. Joslyn sat in the chair and looked at the screen.

"What's up, Pix?"

"We are approaching the island, however I have detected a mass of unidentified matter on the shore."

"Is it rocks? The hurricane that hit here last week was pretty fierce. I wouldn't be surprised if it stirred up some ocean floor rock formations."

"No captain, sensors indicate that it's metal"

"A wreak?"

"I have picked up no radio waves that indicate a ship has been damaged or sunk, nor does the recent reports claim any missing vessels."

"Dock along side it and I'll have a look."

"Yes Captain."

Joslyn turned to the perch (they are located everywhere on the ship.) Where Fang and situated herself upon following Joslyn down stairs, and whistled a high note.

The dragon spread it's blue bat like wings and flew to her master where she curled around the Back of Joslyn's neck and around her shoulders as the dragon so often did.

With unhurried movements Joslyn left the room.

"What the hell?"

Joslyn stared with wide eyes at the large robotic creation that lay upon the beach of her island.

She swallowed and began to circle the thing. As she rounded the thing she noted that there was an opening, door like.

Best to be on guard, she thought to herself, never be caught unwarned and always keep your eyes op-"

"GAH!"

Landing face first in the sand she looked back at what she had tripped over.

A young man not much older than her lay sprawled in the sand. A cut on his forehead was partially healed and the rocks near by showed how he received the wound.

She sat up and crawled over to him. She pushed the thick dark brown braid out of his face and studied him. He was medium height, lean and well muscled. His face had an elfishly mischievous look that was present even when he slept. He was dressed in black jeans and boots, and an odd priest like shirt, which was torn and bloody. She poked him hard in the ribs.

"HEY! MR. CREEPY DEAD GUY!!!! ARE YOU ALIVE?"

She grimaced to herself. "Jeez I sounded like Tru for a minute..." She turned her gaze back to the man.

To meet the most stunning cobalt blue eyes she had ever seen.

So she did the only thing any sane girl would do.

She screamed.

* Duo blinked twice and tried to bring the face before him into focus.

She was... strange.

The girl who knelt beside him, lost in thought, was about 21. She had shoulder length ... royal blue hair and strange golden eyes. Her skin was tanned from the sun and she had 3 earrings in each ear, the most noticeable being the small skull shaped stud in each lower lobe. He hair was tied back with a bandanna. A black jean vest covered a dark purple fitted tank top that exposed a small amount of stomach. Her baggy khaki shorts went to just below her knee.

Suddenly the girl turned the full power of her golden gaze on him.

And then screamed as if she's seen an axe murder.

"OW! DAMNIT!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW OUT MY EAR DRUMS!?"

She stopped screaming and looked at him.

"Who the hell are you and why are you on my island!?"

Before he could answer he was hit by a blue/gray blur of high-pitched fury.

Yes, what Fang lacked in size she made up for in courage.
