Death Map
More crowd gathered around the robbers and pirates, the commoners all anticipated what would happen next. The air certainly was heavy with various feelings and emotions like tension, rage, passion and fear. It was clear which emotion belonged to who. Siren and the group were outnumbered, bandits were 11 or so and pirates were 8 but that didn't matter because even at least six feet away from them, the pirates could see the robbers shaking, it was clear that the trouble makers were lacking sword skills which luckily ran in Yvaine's blood. Clashing her sword with the leader's which she came to know was named Kiwon, Siren smirked baffling him, Kiwon shook his head and pushed his sword forward in an attempt to make Siren loose her balance but he surely underestimated her strength, scoffing at the leader's failed attempt she pushed her sword forward letting him fall down and loose the grip on his own sword. Just as Yvaine was about to knock him out she heard someone shout her name from her right, she turned towards the source of the voice and saw a wide eyed Leehyun who pointed behind her while he held back a guy who looked shorter than him, taking a mental note that he isn't that short she quickly turned around and blocked a buff man just in time, Siren's knees bent a little taking the man's weight on herself. Her distracted state gave Kiwon the opportunity to get his sword back and slash Siren's left calf. "Fucking-" her knee came in contact with the muddy ground due to the sudden impact, enhaling deeply she ran her sword through the buff guy's abdomen killing him instantly and turned around, Siren shot a piercing glare at Kiwon, her deadly gaze sent a shudder through his body. Yvaine's already deep voice dropped octaves lower, her bleeding calf was not a concern anymore. Swinging her sword in different directions she spoke. "I really was considering on not killing you all. But looks like you don't like the thought of seeing the next day's light" .

Leehyun and Jaxon stood side by side across three men. One was shorter than Leehyun whereas the other two were taller. The tall ones looked really similar which made him think that they were siblings but that didn't matter to the pirate, all he had to do was knock them out, which was something Yvaine concluded in their small discussion that they will be put in the dungeons of the town but going easy on them wasn't an option either, they had the right to kill these bandits if things got out of hands. Knocking out one of the siblings was easy all he had to do was distract him whilst Jaxon sneaked up on him and hit him with the blunt edge of his sword. Now only two of the group were left. "You take the shorter one I'll take the taller" Jaxon said mad Leehyun nodded in response. "Heh. Didn't think people shorter than you existed-" Jaxon teased and slipped away before he could be smacked in the head by Leehyun. Huffing loudly the chestnut haired pirate scanned his surrounding. To his right was Tom fighting fragile looking man who was weirdly keeping up with him. Behind Tom was Zayd standing above a bald robber with his sword on the man's throat. Turning to his left he could see Peter whistling while standing near a knocked out man while eyeing Daisok who was standing on a stall dodging an oddly tall man's attack. Looking behind, Leehyun saw Jashan brawling with a nearly dead man with a bored expression plastered on his face. Chuckling to himself at that, he saw Yvaine going for a final blow but before she could do that he caught a metallic glint from the corner of his eyes and saw a buff man trying to stab her with a small sword, without thinking twice he screamed out Yvaine's name and as she turned to his direction he immediately pointed behind her while holding back the small man, who was continuously bothering him. She Turned around and blocked the attack just in time but everyone including her failed to notice when Kiwon retreated his sword and slashed her leg. Leehyun was stunned as she turned towards Kiwon after killing the buff man and saying something before charging at the leader. He could see Kiwon's life flashing in his eyes before Siren swung her sword at him, the blow was so hard that he ended up falling on the rocky ground again. The annoying man was getting on Leehyun's nerves, so he punched the short man in the face. Finally getting his job done Leehyun and the others walked near her. Now they could hear Kiwon begging for his life but she just smirked like crazy before slashing his throat open without even blinking. Leehyun's mind weirdly flashed with memories that he always avoided but sometimes things can't be brushed away "Oh god you are gonna fall down!" 7 year old Leehyun screamed. But whom he screamed at just giggled "Hehe. Calm down mochi." Shaking his head he focused on what siren were saying. "Finally" she groaned and closed her eyes to calm her mind down. "I'm tired" Yvaine muttered while massaging her shoulders. "You do remember our deal. right?" Daisok asked. He had to make sure that Siren still on board to help them, she was their hope for now after all. She looked at Daisok ane waved her hand carelessly then replied with a "Yeah. Yeah" "But what about your leg?" Leehyun blurted out before he could even consider his own thoughts. She gazes at her injured leg and merely shrugged. "Ahh Don't worry shorty. It'll be alright" when he heard her statement he was ready to pounce at you but Tom held him back. "Calm down she's just crazy" he said eyeing your fading figure which he was sure was going to the bar. "I'm literally taller than her" Leehyun fumed. "She really is a mad woman" Peter sighed before looking over at the others. "Anyone down for some rum?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Yep" Jaxon said while stretching. "Yes please." Captain replied. "Rum is what I need the most right now" "Lee don't leave without us!" "Hah! Catch me!" "kids stop running!"

Sitting in the bar Siren just stared into blank space, lost in the whirlpool of her own thoughts when suddenly a dreadful memory flashed in her mind. "NO!" All the little siren could do was scream and cry. Shuddering at the flashback that felt like a mere nightmare she looked at Lissie who was behind the countertop cleaning it. "Hey Lissie......." Yvaine called out. "Hm." She hummed in response. "Am I really as mad as people assume me to be?" Siren trailed off. Turning around Lissie smiled and faced the pirate, that being her. "No. You are even crazier". Looking at Lissie with wide eyes she failed to utter any words, all Yvaine could do was blink her eyes in bafflement. chuckling lightly she continued. "You are the craziest person I've ever seen.". Now confused Siren asked "really?". "Of course, You know I have met a lot of people but none of them are as amazing, strong, bold, fearless, unique and don't forget beautiful as you which makes you the craziest person ever for being all of these things" smiling weakly at that Siren looked at her leg before facing Lissie again. "Can you help me with my wound?" she asked. "Sure. Let's go to your cabin and clean the wound" she said already heading to the cabin, Yvaine merely followed behind.

Entering the bar with his friends Zayd looked around only to realise that no one was there. The bar was eerie quite. He sighed in relief that he finally have some peace. Yvaine was not in the bar either but that didn't matter to Zayd, shrugging he sat on the stool with the others around and started talking. "So what's next" Zayd asked now looking at Daisok who looked deep in thought like any other time. "Now we get the map" He said eyeing everyone intensely. "And how exactly are we going to get the map?" Jashan asked looking amused. "It's pretty clear. We ask siren" Jaxon piped in fiddling with his very precious locket. Raising his eyebrows at him Zayd spoke up "As far as I know she's only gonna do some crazy shi-" he was cut off again but this time by Siren's words. "There's a reason I'm known as the craziest pirate to ever exist Yoongi" she walked into the scene without even limping once. He noted that she had a very good pain endurance. "Now that we are done with my end of the deal, it's your turn" Yvaine said looking at everyone before shouting. "Hey Lissie can I get 8 bottles of rum" "Coming right away" she replied. The bottles finally arrived and everyone including Siren were sitting at a table. "We want the map" Daisok broke the silence with his deep voice. "What map?" She asked uninterested. Giving you a piercing glare Zayd spat "You know what he's talking about! We want the-" "Death map" Siren completed his sentence finally looking up, eyes the darkest he's ever seen.
