The pirates stood back to look at their kill. One titled his head to the side, "You hung him crooked."
"NIH uh." Another grunted.
On one of the rare trees that stood on the cliff of the Forgotten coast, outside the city, they hung an assassin, his body tortured and torn. Bullet wounds, cuts, gashes and bloody covered his body, his black clothes torn to shreds.
The pirate King cleaned his hands of blood and turned. Tai looked at him men, then headed back, "Never again will he try to kill me."
Vane's body swayed in the wind that hit the coast.

Reia trotted down the coastline with Kia, chatting together. Everything seemed to be going fine, and Reia was extremely estatic to tell Vane the news she had.
That was, until Kia saw his body.
The goddess had turned Reia around to look at it, and the assassin's wfie's heart sank. She stood in shock, then let out a loud yell full of anger and hatred. Ki's eyes glowed, looking at the pirates who had hung her friend's husband.

They were heading back into town. Tai pulled down his hat over his head more, covering his sensitive ears from the cold wind. The other looked back at the cry.

Kia watched Reia a moment, and before the goddess could help her mortal friend, the girl had taken off running. With a shrug, Kia made ehrself itno her goddess form, but visible. She charged at the pirates, while Reia ran up to Vane.
"Vane!"
She yelled, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed hold of his head, steadying his body with hers.
"Vane.."
She wimpered now, her face buring into his bloody shoulder.
~
Kia growled at the pirates, and waved her hands around, trapping them, glueing them to the spot.
"You killed my best friend's husband!"
She hissed demonically, her teeth now fangs.

Tai looked at his feet, as if some bug rawled onto it casually, "That's what he gets for trying to assassinate in this town." He looked at his men, "Rule four..."
"You kill us, we kill you back." They recided.
Tai looked at her, " Easy as pie."

Reia carefully cut the rope from Vane's neck, and set him down on the ground, burying her face in his bloody chest. She prayed he was still alive by some chance, but after a moment, tears swelled in her eyes.
"Why?"
She whimpered, brushing some of his from his face. She put her lips against his dead ones as more tears ran from her eyes.
"I love you Vane..."
She buried her face in his chest again, sobbing.
~
Kia growled at the men.
"Well, you should know!"
She yelled, shifting to her pirate captainess form so they'd reconize her.
"When you kill a male assassin who happens to be married, you're left to take care of the wife! Otherwise, I swear, my protection will not be over you a second longer, and, I'll get Aakarshan over here to KICK YOUR ASSES AND HANG THEM OVER A FIREPLACE!"
She scoffed, changing back to her goddess form, tapping her foot, waiting.

Some of the men laughed, "Aak? That dumbass?! He has no power in our lands!"
"Because nobody believes in him, nor do they to you, Miss Kia. The gods abandoned us on this hellish rock, why should we worry now?" The King hissed lightly, still looking bored with her.

Kia's mind filled with hatred, and when she looked up to where her grieving friend was, her hatred grew. She waved her hand around, and a large sword appeard; which seemed to be able to easily epentrate them.
"I'm still a goddess!"
She yelled, swinging it behind her.
"And I can still kill!"
~
Reia kissed Vane's dead lips one more time, then started slowly down the rock. However, a sudden burst of anger went through her, and she grabbed all her weapons, aiming at Tai. The goddess stodd dumbfounded as Reia attacked the crew, unable to do anything but use ehr powers on her to keep her safe.

Tai quickly took out his musket and aimed at her feet, shooting them one, then aimed for her head, "If you don't wish to join him, I suggest you stop. Now, I'm willing to help..." He looked at Kai, "In return, you let us free."

Reia put her weapons away, muttering a few cusswords in another language.
"Alright, what is it?"
She hissed, her attitude that had been lost when she had fallen in love with Vane, was back. Kia watched Tai.
"I'll set you free AFTER you tell us we have your word no matter what."

He raised a brow, smirking, " Would you really trust a pirate's word? Better try a word of a sailor. Yes, you have it." He put his musket away.

Kia took one of Reia's daggers, then put an X on Tai's chest, then one on hers.
"There. Now you'll HAVE to."
She smirked, then looked at the crew, before releasing just Tai.

Tai grunted, " You cut my coat, bitch." He snarled and looked up. " Alright, but I call the shots. We need to steal something, and since I'm hurt now, you need to steal it."

Kia rolled her eyes.
"Don't care. Anyway, what is it we need to steal?"
She asked, curious, tossing the dagger around.

Tai scoffed, "The book of Ammunam. One place to get it, you'll have to fight the bandit Ryhe Teran to get it."

Kia and Reia glanced at each other, and reia grinned.
"I know his daughter. Got put in jail a few times."
She shrugged.
"It'll be easy."

Tai laughed, "Think that." He fiddled with his cutlass, "Get going, then."

Reia trotted off after getting the dagger back from Kia. She headed to the jail, and looked inside. She heard singing, but ignored it, poking Nali.
"What?"
Nali asked, looking up at Reia. She blinked curiously.
"Nali, I need you to get me the book of Ammunam from your dad."
"What happened?"
"Vane... was killed..."
"Oh."
"So, can you? Please?"
Nali thought a moment, then nodded. She motioned for Reia to stay after tossing her a set of Guard clothes, then headed to her house to bug her father.

"Sir.... why would you..." One of Tai's crewmen started.
"Ryhe's at wart, they'll never find him in time." He grinned, looking at Vane's body, abandoned on the cliff.

Kia smacked Tai.
"I'm still here."
She muttered, glueing Tai and his crew back to the ground. She then walked to Vane's body.
They said some could survive being beaten, slashed at, and hung if they were strong enough, and, had a metal pipe in their throat...
Kia checked Vane's mouth, seeing if he had put a pipe down there.

There was no such contraption in his throat, but, oddly enough, his body started to fade.
"There's another way." Tai barked at her.

Kia looked at Tai.
"And, what's that!?"
Her eyes glanced back at the body, curious on why it was fading. She knew if it had been Sacri's doing, the body would have vanished with wind. But, it was fading, not vanishing. She blinked, thinking hard.

"Retrive his soul from his god. From his screaming, I believe Kermer has it, go to him. You should hurry, Kermer's servant's bodies only last for a few days, we killed him a week ago."

Kia growled.
"A WEEK. Reia's been depressed and moody A WEEK BECAUSE OF YOU IDIOTS!?!"
She stormed down to them, and after a moment, the ground they were stuck in swallowed them down more, and Kia vanished in a huff to go hurt Kermer. She transported into his chambers.
"Kermer, where are you!?"
She yelled.

Kermer sat up from his bed, from his nap, "Whaaaaaat...?"
The pirates yelled in fear, but Tai remained emotionless.
