Skies Of Arcadia

The age of exploration has dawned upon the world of Arcadia. Brave adventurers set sail across the vast skies in search of treasures untold. And where there is treasure, there will be Air pirates…

We were air pirates; the three of us lived and sailed in our ship, The Decahedron. Laura and Nicole, my best friends sailed with me. Laura, Nicole, and I were friends for as long as we could remember, and when we were finally old enough we spent our savings on The Decahedron so we could search for treasure and become rich.

We sailed in the skies of Arcadia where there were tiny islands where we could find treasure. Sometimes when we encountered another ship, we would normally fight for their goods.. When we did fight head to head, we each had our own weapon that would help us fight.

Laura had a powerful sword called Ragnorok, and she was great with wind and water moonstones.

Nicole had a crossbow called Save The Queen, and her specialty moonstone was electricity.

I fought with different kinds of pez machines: Uzi's, magnums, or pistols. My specialty was with the fire moonstones.

When were weren't sailing or after we raided a ship we would normally come back to our hometown, Nasrad. It was an awesome place. When we were in Nasrad we would check on our parents, (since they were getting old and cripple) and see what we got in our loot, from our raids. We would keep most of it in Nasrad, incase another ship were to raid us, then we would be left with nothing, so we only brought with us the stuff we needed, until we would return. We have also met some other air pirates, Clara(bitch) and Centipede the mechanic. Sometimes we stopped around populated islands, such as Sailors Island to stock up on items such as Magic Droplets, Sacri Crystals, and sometimes we buy new cannons for our ship. For example we have a main cannon and a standard cannon currently, but when new and improved cannons come out we would save our money and buy a few of them. But we also have to watch how we spend the money, since we have to worry about plenty of food, new weapons, and items.

So this is where our story begins…

Chapter one

The Take Off

BUZZZZZZZZ….

I hit the clock that had just gone off. It was 5:00 am and Lori, Nix, and I were going sailing for a few weeks. I ran down the stairs of our house, and exited through the door. There I saw Laura standing in front of the yellow fountain in the center of town. She seemed to be taking a leak, and from the look on her face.. Well.. a pirate had recently infected her with scurvy.

"Hey!" I yelled as I came running up to her.

"Hi, lets get started on loading the Decahedron." She suggested.

"Ok." I said. " But first we have to stock up on our item supply."

We ran down to the port, there were item, weapon, and food shops down there for sailors when they visited. We walked inside the item shop, which was already open and talked to Christina, who owned the store.

"Hey Steph, hey Laura." She said as we walked into the shop. "Are you guys sailing today?"

"Yep, we need to stock up on our item supply first though." I said. We saw Christina everyday.. The amount of food was never enough for me, Tyranosaurus Ste. I had a bit of a binging problem, I just loved turkey breasts.

"Yeah, no problem, what would you like to buy?" She asked.

We bought 99 sacri crystals that increased 500 Hp on one ally, 99 Magic droplets witch increased MP by one point, and 99 of everything else that was in the shop. We said bye to Christina, and then walked in to weapon shop and said hi to Andy. We knew everyone's name off by heart, it was like one big happy family. But some of the family members suffered with mental illinesses, I.E crabs.

"Hi girls, would you like to get your weapons souped up?" He asked.

"YOU KNOW IT, ANDY." We said in unison.

"Come back in 15 minutes and they will be ready." Andy said, giving me a sexual salute.

"Ok bye." We said as we left our weapons on the counter so he could work on them. We had also stopped by the food shop, we bought 30 pounds of raw beef which we would cook later, 100 watermelons, 100 strawberries, 2 boxes on crackers, 15 cans of soup, 27 boxes of shrimp(YUMMY), 20 pounds of whitefish, 49 loaves of bread, and 76 pounds of sandwich meats. Of course, those provisions were only for me. Nix and Lora would have to fend for themselves. Fighting off beavers and raccoons alike for evening treats, those selfish girls. Always after my grub.

We started working on loading the ship; we carried down the huge bag of food and emptied it into the freezer room so that the meat and fruits would stay fresh. I didn't want to eat spoiled meat, although I knew I would. Then we put the non-perishable food items in the pantry. Then we took the items and put them in the storage room. After it was all done we checked if anything was wrong with the ship, but everything was alright. We then loaded the cannons incase we ran into an early battle.

After loading the Decahedron we went back to Andy's weapon shop and picked up our weapons, we put in our favorite moonstones (Blue (water) for Laura and red (fire) for me.) Then we walked up to the center square and waited for Nicole to come out of her house.

"So are you still upset about Spencer?" Laura asked me.

"Yeah a little." I said, putting on a sulky face. Spencer, my ex-boyfriend had been a part of our crew, but ever since he met Clara he had ran off with her leaving me with nothing but an itch that won't go away.

"How are things with Derek?" I asked.

"I don't know, I am getting the feeling that he has a thing for that bitch Moogle." She said.

"Really!" I exclaimed. "How can you tell!"

"Well, I walked in on them having an orgy. I won't jump to conclusions or anything. But the sounds weren't human." Laura said.

And just as she did, the sun peeked over the horizon.

Silence. "I.." I said. "I will go wake up Nicole."

"Wake up Nicole." I said, stroking her awake. She sighed, and turned over so her back was to me. "Get up you dumb shit." I said, smacking her head furiously.

"Calm down." She said as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Why do we have to go now, why can't we go later!

"Ok, we all had decided to leave Nasr at 6:00 AM! We let you sleep in so be thankful! We were the ones that got up at five in the morning just to pack up the ship! AND YOU'LL BE BUYING YOUR OWN FUCKING FOOD SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PEEKING INTO THE FREEZER."

Her eyes bulged a little and looked at the alarm clock at the side of her bed, it was 7:30 now and we had given her plenty time to sleep while Laura and I loaded up the Decahedron. "Nicole, me and Laura have already packed up The Decahedron, all you have to do is get changed and you can sleep in your bed on the ship, ok?" I offered just to get her out of bed.

"Alright." She said tiredly. "I must change first."

I hid in the closet while she changed, when she came out we walked over to the fountain, Laura was waiting for us there.

Laura's hair was grease tattered, thinning, short and blonde with black and red chunky highlights. She wore it up in a little ponytail, but some of her bangs fell in front of her yellowed-blue eyes. She wore black shorts that came up to her mid-thigh and a halter top that was jet-black in color. On her feet she wore black boots with a small heel, that came up just past her ankles. She also wore a black choker neclace and black bands around her wrists. Fashion is important when trying to steal booty from other air pirates. Dubloons weren't always enough for sexual favours.

"Hey Nicole, it's about time you smelt the daisys." She said.

"Yeah I guess so." Nicole answered.

Nicole's hair was thick just like Laura's, but her hair was brown and flipped up at the ends. Her eyes were chocolate brown, and one was covered by a silver eye-patch. (Tragic crow incident) She also wore brown tights and brown boots that came just past her ankles. She wore a white cloak with a maroon colar that tied up with brown and gold straps. She also wore a belt that was gold and brown, and losly tied up around her waist.

"Alright, is everyone ready?" I asked. I looked around at them, they both nodded so we started to walk towards the dock where the

Decahedron was ready and waiting.

I wore wore my long brown hair up in a ponytail, some of my bangs fell in front of my big brown eyes. I wore a bright red tube-top and a black short-skirt. I wore a red belt with a black buckle, and let it hang losly around my waist. I had black boots without a heel that came up to my knees, and holsters around my upper legs to hold my guns. I also wore red and black bands around my wrists and upper arms. I also wore a black choker. Little pieces of chicken and bones dangled off the choker.

We all walked onto the ship, and we were off…
