"Hehe, dis one is fiesty mon!" The troll who went by the name of Dirk, or so Alpheric thought he was called according to the Goblins orders, said as he pushed the sturggling Orc down once more onto the seat of the small rowboat. After making his appearance the Goblin, 'Cap'n Jaxxel' wasted no time in putting both Alpheric and his female opponent in shackles. The cuffs were linked together at the wrists, and had a long chain by which both Human and Orc were lead to the waiting rowboat.
Alpheric had dropped his weapons and went peacfully, there was no point in fighting yet when he was exausted he needed to think, but the orc on the other hand had not wanted to go quietly and now had a growing bruise on her cheek to show for it curtesy of the large unnamed Tauren. Snapping out of his thoughts, Alpheric looked up as the boat bumped into its larger and more sinister counterpart. Massive with woods and sails done in blacks and reds, was filled with jeering Bloodsail of all an assortment of races, Human, Goblin, Orc, none were immune to the call of piracy.
The crew of the ship lowered a rope ladder for those in the boat. Pulling out the rather wicked looking blade that was surely his namesake, Dirk pressed the weapons tip to the Orc's back and lead her to the ladder. "Try anything funny mon', and we will see how well you be able to swim in chains ya?" The troll said sneering at her. Fumbling she slowly made it up the ladder, the length of chain between her wrists barely giving her enough room to climb. Alpheric was next to make the climb, the crew on deck and below in the boat both laughing at the sight of the two's labored climb. After what seemed like an eternity, Alpheric finally made it and fell over on the deck, only to be picked up and roughly shoved towards a open door leading below decks. "Show our honored guests to their rooms!" Shouted Captain Jaxxel, behind Alpheric's back.
Pushed and dragged down steps into the dark dank belly of the ship, the captives 'room' turned out to be a small rectangular space with benches on either side of the long walls and pegs bolted to the floor every few feet in which both Alpheric and the Orc's long chains were hooked to, "So this is nothing new to them," Alpheric would think to himself as chained opposite each other both Human and Orc were secured opposite each other then shoved down in the benches. Their job done the pirates left the room slamming the door behind them, leaving them in darkness save for the slants of light coming from the spaces between the wood overhead.
Once the door was shut the Orc wasted no time in sturggling with her bonds. Spitting with rage and cursing in Orcish, she struggles for several minutes before the oppressive heat, cramped dark, and the noise she made was too much for the Human. "That is never going to work you know, you might as well save your strength for now," Alpheric said with a bit of annoyance. The Orc turned her sharp blazing eyes to Alpheric and started shouting at him in her tongue. Sighing in resignation Alpheric leaned back in his seat and focused his attention up at the light drifting in from above, thinking to himself that the female's crystal blue eyes would have been beautiful had their owner not been such a savage...
Alpheric jerked awake, as the door slammed open. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he struggled not to drop the piece of bread and mug of water that was shoved into his hands by a Bloodsail woman with messy hair and a sour face. "That fight must have taken more out of me than I thought," Alpheric thought to himself as he downed half of his water in one gulp. After giving the Orc her food the pirate left as quick as she came without a word, leaving the two alone once more.
Tearing his bread, he ate slowly and looked thoughtfully over at this fellow prisoner. Sniffing the bread, she pushed the food and drink to her side with a huff glaring at the space between them. "You should eat, I know if I look anywhere as bad as you do right now we are both going to need the strength," Alpheric ventured. The Orc simply made a point to deliberatly ignore him and look anywhere but in his direction. Alpheric sighed, "Look like it or not, we are stuck together, and the only way we are going to do ever get out of this is if we save up our energy and figure a way out of this together. Hell, if you can plan as well as you can fight then we could be Captain of the ship before sundown." The Orc gave a grunt that almost sounded like a laugh. "You fought well...for a human" She said in thick accented Common, her voice deep and rough, but surprisingly pleasant to Alpheric's ears.
"Well thank you." Alpheric gave her a small smile, "Well if we are going to work together I cannot call you Orc the whole time, I am Alpheric and you are?" The Orc picked up her bread and looked at it thoughtfully as she said, "I am Doraka."
