Thread: The Elementalist (Lady Nefrodiel)

Alena's respect for the man had shot up by a lot, since he actually bothered to retort back. Really, this was much better than seething in this freakn cell planning to blow up the ship to pieces. Not that she had the power to do that. Didn't mean she didn't think about it. Didn't mean she was pissed off at the very nerve of him for critisizing something she had been born to use. Oh geez , I wonder why the hell would I want to harm a bunch of men who are not only keeping me captive, but are ready to take advantage of me at any moment!? she retorted sarcastically, Idiot. It's self defense. I feel threatened. If you were captured by the navy or a rival pirate ship or whatever, wouldn't you feel pissed and want to use every weapon you could to get out . It's just common sense. It is is completely natural to want to hurt something that has ill intents towards you in the first place. The noblewoman paused as if reflecting over what she just said, But just because it's natural to want to hurt someone when you know they are going to hurt you, doesn't make it right. Green eyes glared at him some more, What? Are you going to dock me for being a magic-user? It's not my fault I was born this way... just like that guy over there was born ugly. If I don't learn how to manifest it or control it, then really, really bad shit happens. Nobody wants to be around an untrained magic-user... it's like associating with a ticking bomb! So yeah, I'm actually doing the world a favor by learning how to use magic. To deny magic to my kind... it's like denying air. Yeah sure, I won't lie and say that there aren't some of us out there who think humans are nothing more than their little playthings to manipulate. Hell, you just messed with a family full of them. Alena paused for a bit, catching her breath before continuing on, But that doesn't mean we're all like that. I'm not like that. My mother wasn't like that. In fact, there's a whole faction of us that isn't like that... so careful of absolute statements like that because it might just back to you. Sighing a loud, I take back the leech comment. Perhaps you don't even want to be that way. If that's true then well... that makes sense. If it isn't, then you're no better than the family you've taken me away from. The last part was said rather frostily. --- Noticing the frown, the golden red head couldn't help but frown in return. Just what was he up to now? Was it something about her precious Alena? He better return her to their family or... or... Victoria tired to think of something plausible. What could she do that would get his attention? Drop the Inzilom in the ocean? Yes, she would be rid of it. The only reason he was interested in her was because of the medallion. Without it, she was useless to him except as a bargaining chip to her family. Of course, the Medallion would be lost in the ocean and they would have to go find it. But better than it lost for the time being, than risking Alena. What kind of older sister would she be if she didn't try protecting her? Victoria's eyes widened when the man revealed his name. It was him . The worst of the pirates. Well, according to their kind. Those mortals who dared preyed upon magic-users were the lowest of the low. Ah, yes, the Magic User Hunter. Why yes, indeed I have heard of you Captain Chuliandred, she replied, her eyes twinkling with humor, If it were possible... I'd say I dislike you even more. As you probably know, my kind aren't particularly a very big fan of you and your crew, I must say. We're as greedy as pirates about our own treasures. Of course, they were ours in the first place. What had they gotten themselves into this time? A tired sigh could be heard a loud. Oh Alena... why ever did she have to be so stubborn in the first place?
