[QUOTE="talien, post: 2468662, member: 3285"] [b]Cast Upon Tides of Weal and Woe - Part 2b: Flotsam and Jetsam[/b] “Sharks,” said Kham, crossing his arms to pull out two pistols from their hostlers. “Why did it have to be sharks?” One of the fins ploughed a path straight towards the boy’s unconscious form. “Oh no you don’t!” said Kham. He kissed each one of his handgonnes. “Ladies, don’t fail me now.” Kham took aim at the shark just beneath the surface of the water. It was over 20 feet in length, with tiger-like patterns along the broad gray-brown back. BLAM BLAM! There was a swirl of bright red in the water as something thrashed and rolled. Then the dark shape beneath the fin submerged again, disappearing into the coral reef. “Well, we showed him,” said Kham, holstering his pistols. He hopped the last distance to the boy. The boy was unconscious. “Wake up kid,” said Kham, nudging him. Eyelids fluttered open. “W-who are you?” he asked. He was about ten years old, with long disheveled hair, fair skin, and the startling steel-gray eyes of a Val. He was clad in the garments typical for a shipboard cabin boy. “Not important. All you need to know is I’m the guy with the pistols.” He hoisted the boy up over his shoulders. “What’s more important is who you are.” “Emric,” the boy said. He put his arms around Kham’s neck. “Emric?” Kham stretched out from the piece of driftwood and clambered up a coral reef. “That’s not short for Emricassicus by any chance, is it?” “No sir,” Emric said. “Didn’t think so,” said Kham. “Well, that’s my good deed for today.” He prepared to spring to the next shoal and then, upon seeing two more fins circling the boat, decided against it. “Maybe we should just rest here for a moment.” “Will they be okay?” said Emric, pointing at the fracas. A bubble popped to the surface that sounded suspiciously liked “HELP!” “Oh, I’m sure they’ll be fine,” said Kham. [/QUOTE]
