It was the rise of early morning when Charles, the Dock Master, seen the "Adventure Galley" pull in. He began to raise like the morning sun and yelled at his men. "Oi! Captain Kidd has arrived."
"Aye" His men called back as they pulled the casted ropes from the side of the Galley down to bring it into the dock. With a creak of the wood and the splashing of water against the dock the ship came to a halt. The walk board was then lowered, and the crew began filing out. With the golden rays of the sun shining, out came James Kidd. He was a young buck, no older than his early 20's. He came with a grin as he skipped his way down the boardwalk.
"Old man Charles, how is ye'?" He said clapping the Dock Master on his back.
"Still alive, boy yo'" He said as he laughed. "I'll get yer shipped all checked out and back to lookin' pretty."
"Ah, thank you mate." James waved them off and headed to the tavern. As he walked up, he spotted Mako, who was leaning on the bar ordering a drink.
"A little early for a Thunder Clap der' Mako?"
Mako grinned and turned around, "Dealing with a 'roon like you I may need two" Mako said coming up to clasp forearms with him. "How was yer' trip Kidd?"
"'Bout as smooth as a gator's back." Kid said pulling up a chair. Mako turned over his shoulder and called out to the bartender.
"Aye, Rico bring ano'ther." Rico gave him a nod and brought another drink over moments later.
"What brings you in Kidd?" Mako asked.
Kidd started stroking his face. "I need a favor, mate." Mako raised an eye brow and took a sip from his mug,
"What kind of favor?
Korra rose with what seemed like a nulling headache. She sat up and looked around her grand bedroom. Eyes still low from the festivities from the night before. She slipped her legs of the edge of the bed and almost stumbled. "I must still be a little drunk" she thought to herself. She began to stand back up right and paced herself. She began heading to the wash room, without paying no mind if her counterpart was still lying in bed. As she walked into the washroom, she was rubbing her eyes and was stopped abruptly.
"Have you no manners, Captain!" Asami yelled.
Still in a daze Korra stood there not registering what was going on. "Huh?" Korra said. Then her eyes widened, and she began fumbling over her words. "I-I, Um M-my apologies princess." She turned around and sped walked out of the wash room. She began to chastise herself. "My apologies? Who's the Captain here? You or her?" She straightened up and walked back into the wash room.
"Captain!" Asami began to yell again but was cut off.
"Hush up, I gave yer to much freedom, know your place princess. I am your captain and you are my captive. This is my wash room and I use it when I want." Asami stood in disbelief and hurried and walked out the bathroom. Korra began to strip and washed up. When she returned to the bedroom Asami was gone. Korra shook her head and began to get dressed. She put on her signature outfit and her hat that was tipped with a cobalt feather that matched her eyes.
Korra began walking down the pathway from her house that sat on the hill overlooking the whole town. She was greeted by multiple strumpets, citizens and crew mates. She waved and tipped her hat at them as she passed by. Once she made it to the midst of the town, she caught site of Mako and a lad he was sitting with. She walked up the wooden steps that creaked below her feet.
"Ah well if it isn't the Devil." Mako said pulling out a chair for her.
"Aye, shut it mate." She sat down.
"The infamous Captain Korra "who holds the sea in her eyes" Kidd said.
"Yer looking att'er" Korra grinned kicking her boots up on the side of the table. "You must be Kidd, Mako was telling me about you."
"Goods tings I hope." James said smiling.
"Aye, aye." Korra said back. Rico brought out her favorite, rum. She nodded to him as a thank you and he went back behind the bar.
"Mako has told me you may have some information on the 'Observatory'? She asked getting to the point."
"Ah, yes, what fancies you 'bout it?" James said leaning back in his chair.
"I've had er dream or two 'bout it. I'm in this kind er crystal cave and there's a voice calling out to me, but every time I try to go near it, I wake up"
"Hmm," Kid started. "Do you know who Aita is? He asked taking a sip from his mug.
"No reckon I don't." Korra added back. "Who is he?"
"He may be the answer to yer dreams." Kidd said.
"How so?" Mako added in.
After Asami stormed out of the room, she got dressed and left the house. "How rude that captain is!" She exclaimed to herself. "Who does she think she is? I'm a princess!" In her roar of fits, she didn't realize where she had stumbled off too. When she came back to her senses she was surrounded by the tropical forest. When she looked around, she was surrounded by nothing by trees. All different shapes and sizes sprouting different flowers. Colors more vibrant than the next. She came around this one tree that sprouted a deep red flower. She picked it and stuck it behind her ear. She began taking in the site and scenery around her. She never felt this free in her life. All she knew was cold gray stones. She began frolicking through the floral floor. She came upon a sandy shore. All she could do is stare in awe. As she gazed upon the see she realized that it was a familiar view. "How could this be?" She thought. "The castle never showed anything this, awe-inspiring." Then it hit her. It was so familiar because she saw the same view in the Captain's eyes. "Captain Korra, who holds the sea in her eyes" she whispered to herself. She sat down stuck in the moment. The sight took her breath away, something she'd sure she'd never forget. "Maybe getting kidnapped wasn't so bad. Yeah, but this isn't your life, father will pay the ransom soon enough."
After what felt like hours, Asami got up and patted the sand off her butt. She began trying to find her way back but, to no avail. "Shite." Asami said out loud. She began to feel a sense of fear when she understood the danger of being alone in the wilderness. Overhead she heard a loud "SCREECHHHH" She looked up and seen a bird circle over her ahead. "Fuck me." She thought. The bird swooped down and Asami took off running into the bushes. She stopped and peered out from behind a tree and saw the bird just hovering in front of her. It screeched again at her and began trying to fly off. The bird notice Asami's confusion and came back. The bird screeched one more time and Asami came from behind the tree. "Are you trying to lead me back?" The bird let out another "screech" and began to slow fly off. Asami started to follow.
So, yer saying this Aita guy, who lived long ago, is the creator of the Observatory?" Captain Korra said.
"Aye, Captain." Kidd said back. "He is the creator of the observatory and the matrix which holds all four elements." He leaned forward. "They say," He looked around. "Whoever holds all four elements is the savior of the world."
"Then why would the Templars want it, if who has it, is pose to be the savior of the world?" Korra asked.
"Cause mate, if they hold that power, they will be able to rule from the land to the sea. Yer see they want it to control the folk in the world. They believe the folk are to be addled to think fer themselves!"
"Blimey!" Korra exclaimed. "People deserve dere' free'om!"
Kidd laughed. "Aye!" He got up. "Der' Freedom!" He sat back down and began to get more serious. "Captain Korra, do you know of the Assassins Brotherhood?"
"Mako told me a few bout it. I know that I agree wit 'em." Korra said raising her mug.
Kidd grinned. "I think I got a prop'sition for yer."
