[QUOTE="talien, post: 2479369, member: 3285"] [b]Cast Upon Tides of Weal and Woe - Part 3: Catch of the Day[/b] Everyone was safely aboard the Shrike, although Calactyte, Vlad, and Beldin were wrapped in towels. The big saurian in particular was in bad shape, having suffered more than one bite from the sharks with only his scaly hide to protect him. “Well, he’s a strange kid,” said Kham. “Looks like Captain Krubach decided to kidnap him out of the blue. They were headed for Freeport when they were hit by a freak storm. But that’s not the weird part.” Ilmarė raised an eyebrow. “What?” “Ask him about his mommy,” said Kham. Ilmarė crouched down to look Emric in the eye. “Can you tell us about your mother?” “Oh yes!” said Emric, his eyes bright. “Mother can speak all the tongues of the birds and the creatures of the sea. Her voice can be like a storm crashing on the surf, or gentle like the barest hint of sea spray. Her songs and playing at the harp lure the naiads from their shoals with envy.” “That’s great kid,” said Kham. “But what does your mom look like?” Emric pointed at Cal, who looked pretty miserable. The big saurian’s head swung towards them when Cal sensed eyes upon him. “What?” he said, dripping seawater from his nose holes. “Like him,” said Emric. “Mother is very tall, with opaline skin the color of the moon on a deep velvet sea. Her eyes are quick and bright like emeralds and her hair is dark and lustrous black.” “What?” asked Cal, saltwater still streaming from his nostrils. “THAT’S what his mother looks like?” said Ilmarė. “I’m afraid to ask about the father…” “I don’t know who my father is,” said Emric wistfully. “Mother never spoke of him.” “I don’t think we would want to meet him anyway,” said Kham. “Th' boy’s mother be goin' t' come lookin' fer th' lad,” said Captain Baldric. “Ye be havin' flouted th' Sea God’s will an' cast yer lot into a dire game. Yarris only knows what fate awaits ye.” Kham jabbed a thumb in Cal’s direction. “If ‘Mother’ is half as ugly as Scaly, we’re going to have our hands full.” “Hey!” said Cal, but he was too exhausted to even back up his protestation with a menacing growl. “Agreed,” said Ilmarė. “We’ll find a place for him in Freeport.” “And if we can’t?” asked Sebastian. “Then maybe there’ll be some uninvited guests to the family reunion,” said Kham, patting the holsters beneath his coat.
