Chapter 2 First Encounter

Captain Swan hated very few things but the one she hated most was her old "home" The Enchanted Forest. Over the hundred or so years she had been captain she discovered many things about herself. She found out her parents were killed by the king of the Southern Isles for nothing more than having a different opinion on using magic. That was another thing she learned. She could use magic. As her parents could so could she. Over the years she was able to learn how to use her magic and with magical items she collected on her adventures of the realms she was even able to find a way to use her magic aboard The Black Rock. The most important bit of information she was able to find, however, was that she was born with her extra appendage. Before she was born her mother had been cursed. Originally Emma was supposed to die but her magic as well as her mother's protected her, for the most part. She was born a woman but instead of a vagina she had a penis. Even with all her knowledge Emma never found a way to fix this but that's because she never really tried looking. Captain Emma Swan loved women and felt no need to change herself, especially not when she was very well endowed.

Even with all the hate she had for The Enchanted Forest, she made port near her old "home" because her first mate, Red, wanted to visit it. "Red how is it that even a hundred years later you can't forget this place?" "Come on Ems! It's our home, it's where we met and became a family. Can't you at least look a little happy?" "The Black Rock is my home. You and Granny are the only good things to come from this place and you're part of my crew so I don't need to come back here." "Well we're here so at least come visit our little old house with me and Grams." "I'll be at the tavern." Emma walks off her ship and heads to the nearest tavern without another word. Red is disappointed but it's what she expected.

Emma walks into the tavern with most of her crew in tow. Everyone stops to look at the incoming crowd then gasps and whispering starts up as per usual. A barmaid comes up to Emma and shows her to a large area for her and her crew. "What can I get for you and your crew Captain Swan?" "Hmm, I haven't been in these parts for a long time. How do you know who I am love?" "Everyone knows you. Blonde haired woman pirate. The baddest of the bad, the most ruthless, unmatched, and stunning pirate ever. They say your stories go back a hundred years but you look young." " One of the perks of immortality love. Bring us a dozen bottles of rum and double that in tankards of ale. We want to enjoy the fine hospitality this lovely lass is sure to show us right boys?!" With a small wink to the barmaid Emma's crew shouts, "Aye!".

After drinking her fair share of the rum and ravaging the lovely barmaid, Emma goes for a small walk in the woods to clear her head as she usually does before heading back to her ship. These trips to land usually cost her crew members and this time the number was high. She needed to find a crew and soon. The sooner she did the sooner she could leave this bloody land. Along the way she sees what looks to be a royal guard chasing a couple coming her way. Emma trips the man with her foot then takes out her sword and aims it at his companion. "So tell me guard, what is the reward for capturing these two?" The guard took off his helmet and dismounted his horse then walked to the man on the ground, sword pointed at him. "The reward is whatever you wish. Her Majesty will give you whatever you want for your aid in capturing these traitors." "Hmm, sadly she can't give me what I want. Tell me, why are these two traitors?" The woman interrupted shouting, "We are not traitors! The Evil Queen killed my father! She is the traitor and I am the rightful queen." "And who is this evil queen love and who are you?" Her companion finally spoke, "She is Snow White, true ruler of the White Kingdom. The Evil Queen is the witch that killed Snow's father." "Ah the White Kingdom. If I recall the king's name was Leopold. So then you are his daughter."

Emma looked over the woman and said, "You look just like your mother. She was a breathtaking woman." "You knew my mother?" "Aye. In fact love, the last time I was here many years ago you were just starting to grow inside her." "Thats not possible. You're young, most likely my age." Now the guard and both "traitors" looked at Emma confused. "Aye, that would seem the case. I'm around your age in appearance but I've been alive a lot longer than that. Now, your father once gave me invaluable information long ago and asked nothing in return so I will help you. You'll come aboard my ship and become part of my crew for 25 years, or I leave you to be taken to your evil queen." The couple looked at each other and agreed. The guard finally spoke up, "I'm glad you were able to find a way out. Take care of yourselves." As the guard went to mount his steed Emma grabbed his shoulder. "Why chase them all this way just to let them go? ...She has your heart doesn't she?" "How do you know that?" "It's something I've seen before. Tell me guard, would you like to join my crew and be free from your queen?" "She has my heart. With it she controls me. I can't just leave." "You can mate. If you become a part of my crew you needn't worry about who has your heart. I promise you will be free." The guard looked into Emma's eyes and knew she was speaking the truth so he agreed. "Excellent! Let's head back to my ship then and get you settled in."

"Welcome aboard The Black Rock. She'll be your new home for 25 years. Now some introductions are in order..." Emma was cut off by Snow, "You're Captain Swan? You're a woman?!" "Hmm, tell me love what have you heard of me?" "They say Captain Swan is a ruthless pirate with an impenetrable ship that kills anyone in his... her way." "Aye that's all true, but tell me love, why did you assume I was a man?" Snow blushed for a moment then continued, "They also say that you go to taverns and bed the local women..." She paused so Emma said, "Go on." "They say you give them so much pleasure that they can't work for weeks." Red and Granny came aboard having listened to Snow on their way over and along with Emma they started laughing. "Oh my gods! Why is it that the part about you bedding women always changes from port to port?" "Perhaps the women here are weaker than those of other ports with more realistic sounding stories." Snow just kept staring at the captain with a blush on her face.

"Now as I said, introductions. I am Captain Emma Swan whom you'll address as Captain or Captain Swan. My first mate Red, the cook Granny, and up in the crow's nest is Belle. Belle is the brains aboard this ship so ask her any questions you may have." Snow gave them all a smile and offered her hand. "I am Snow White and this is Charming." Emma grabbed her hand by the wrist holding Snow's palm up. "Pirates don't shake hands with anyone but pirates especially not royals." Emma quickly pulled out a dagger from her boot and cut Snow's palm without letting go of her wrist. Charming tried to stop her but Red held him in place. Emma then cut her own palm and quickly grabbed Snow's. "You are part of my crew and so we are family. You share my blood and I yours." She let go of Snow's hand and both their cuts were closed. She did the same to Charming then looked at the guard. He extended his palm face up and said, "My name is Graham. Before The Evil Queen took me I was a hunter and now I'll be a pirate." Emma did the same to Graham then looked all three over. "You'll need to change into more comfortable clothes and be shown to your new posts. Most of my crew but the three I've mentioned have decided to part ways and so we're still a few men short. Red will show you around and then she'll take you to buy a few things with Granny."

As Emma nodded to Red and was about to turn around a cloud of purple smoke appeared on the forecastle deck. Snow, Charming, and Graham all stepped closer to Emma on the main deck and watched as a figure emerged from the smoke.
