I looked back at him and smiled but I couldn't help but feel disappointed. He would've been a great addition to the team. Maybe he could even be more than that. Probably not he's a rogue he plays with women every other day. Then I was gone we had split up on the path up ahead probably the last time I'd ever see him again. It didn't take long for more pirates to find us.
"Hey what are you doing out of your cage slave"a pirate spat out
"I don't know I don't think I've seen her before"another one said
"That's because I am no one's slave"I interrupted
"I won't let you continue slaving. I shall put you in your place" I stated
I got into my stance and pirates swarmed at Zu and I. We're both more than capable of taking care of a few pirates.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh"the battle cry of a pirate swinging his sword in my direction. I gracefully shifted out of the way and hit a pressure point in his shoulder shocking him.
"Storm dragon" I cried out my fighting style
My opponent was temporarily paralyzed as a flash of electricity surged through him and I used the opportunity to quickly strike him in the gut with a powerful kick he was out cold. Then a woman slashed at me. I barely dodged it. I clenched my fists and like lightning I dealed continuous blows to her side. I broke one of her ribs and she went down screaming in agony. The man who spoke shit to me earlier came swinging at me with his fists sloppily. I avoided all of them when he tired out I reached into my holster grabbed my sword and cut his head clean off.
The other pirates saw I meant business and scurried away. It continued like this down a series of platforms constant fighting until there were no more left. I overheard gao the greater and an infamous lotus assassin lim the inquisitor. They were talking about some device for the emperor.
An insane old man stood in the corner complaining about how his machines were to be used for evil. They have been using these air ships to collect slaves to work on the great wall. The lotus assassins were looking for my amulet in the meantime. Good thing I beat them to it I had my wind map, my amulet and was ready to go.
The new machine was called the marvelous dragonfly an innovation of the air ship exactly what I would need. A woman appeared as a hologram on a strange looking machine and gave orders to gao and lin.
"Just what's going on"
