Thread: Dianna's Quest into the Unknown (AmySorin x Reydan)

Along with Dianna, a large number of people stood in the line to get into the Annamaria. As far as she could see, however, most of the line was made by men, with a very little number of women scattered around. Most of them, actually, would be sent away from the ship as soon as they talked to the sailor responsible for negotiating the boarding fees with the possible travelers. The Annamaria seemed to be far from an official ship. The medium sized vessel held a colorless flag, without any sort of emblem or insignia. Although in a pretty good condition for a non-Imperial ship, it shared more resemblances with pirate ships that travelled the high seas than with the usual transport boat that would be crossing the continent rivers. However, both the ship and the crew or at least the crew members that could be seen on the ship seemed far better equipped than all the other non-cargo ships docked in the harbor. The vessel itself seemed quite robust, while the crew seemed seasoned and experienced. Tis be th only ship that can take ye close to Arcturo. It can drop ye off at th center of th Adhara province the sailor told the paladin, paying little attention to the girl No other ship be willin to sail tis far into dangerous waters the man explained the girl, still not properly looking at her. Adhara was a province in the center of the Empire. It was a hot, tropical land through which most of the Empires commerce circulated, due to its favorable position. It was also a land with a great number of rainforests and home to most of the elven population that lived in the Falkirian Empire. All things considered, it was actually quite rare to find someone that was actually willing to sail this far into the center of the Empire. Waters were known to get quite dangerous the closer they got to the center, especially if the rivers were heading into Adhara. From there, it would most likely be a two or three week trip until getting to the Arcturo province. We be not willin to take ye lass thar. Lasses like ye be bad luck and we prefer to stay away from trouble in th deck, especially if we be travelin in troublesome waters. Th place fer a lass like ye be in a warm bed, naked next to a scurvy dog, not on th poop deck with we the sailor said, blocking Diannas passage further Now get on ye way, I have thins to do. The Annamaria be supposed to be leavin soon. The capn be angry at we already the sailor finished, shooing the paladin away.

'What the hells do you mean you don't take women?' the impetuous blonde said, scowling at the sailor before her. She held up the line for a moment or two, shooting daggers at him with her eyes, until passengers behind her started to get impatient and edge around her. It was clear the man was not going to budge, though, and reluctantly she pushed and shoved her way back down the gangplank to the dockside, not caring what the other potential passengers thought. Once of the stone of the dock edge, she paced, annoyed, up and down the length of the boat. The heat was making the young paladin's hot head even worse, and she scowled furiously. This was the only ship going close to Arcturo, he had said, and she didn't have cause to doubt him. The province was far away and few ships had cause to go there. Looking around, she decided she had three options available to her. She could find someone else to argue about passage with, maybe someone more senior than that pig of a sailor. She could try and find a different ship, and risk being dropped off further away from her ultimate destination. Or, she thought, looking at the crates of cargo on the dock - she could try to smuggle herself on board. She blew out her cheeks, not sure what to do, before deciding recklessly on the final option. Circling around to some large crates out of sight of the crew, waiting to be loaded on, she tried to see if any of them would open up and allow her small form to slip inside.

The plan works well...for the about five minutes that Dianna had planned for. Ten minutes later, sitting in the airless crate in the darkness, the young Paladin was forced to admit that this had not been one of her brighter ideas. She had accomplished her aim of getting aboard the ship, but now she ran the distinct risk of suffocating before reaching the port. In the darkness she frowned, trying not to panic, and studied the inside of the box. There were certain weak points in the wood that might aid her escape. The blonde breathed, in and out, and tried to think what the hells she would tell anyone she encountered upon breaking open the crate. What a mess this was. She levered her legs up and, then, gritting her teeth, she kicked the lid of the crate. Hard. Again and again. Bang bang bang. Her actions grew more and more desperate. Then, finally, the wood splintered apart and, sucking in the relatively fresh air of the hold, she was able to scramble out of the ruined box and into the cargo space of the ship.

In desperation, the blondie repeatedly hit the crates lid. Aside from getting her foot to hurt, the first few kicks didnt seem to accomplish much against the crates wooden lid. However, she eventually hit a seemingly weaker spot of the lids structure and. After she recognized that, the hits that followed did some pretty good work against the crate, eventually completely breaking its structure and forming a hole on it. From there, she managed to widen the passage and go through it, slightly damaging her clothes in the process. It should be mentioned that hitting the crate with her leg wasnt the best course of action. Even though it was better than damaging her swords blade trying to cut through the boxs structure, she couldve had half-sworded and used the crossguard of her longsword as a mace of sorts, thus punching through the wood more easily. As a result, the leg she had used to repeatedly kick the lid had suffered a minor injury and the paladin now limped a bit when moving around. It wasnt a big issue, as she could still fight and move around properly, but it definitely slowed her down, even if just a bit. Dianna now found herself in a large, dim lit room. The little light that entered the room did so through the hatches on the sides of the ships wooden structure. It wasnt much, but it was still enough for her to see that, as expected, she was standing on a room that was mostly composed of cargo crates of all sizes, most of them made of wood just like the one she had gotten out of. There were also a few barrels scattered around the place, most likely containing liquids of sorts. A few meters in front of her, there was the only door she could see. Most likely a passage to the upper deck. However, as the paladin decided on her next course of action, she heard some sounds coming from above. Her escape from the box had been successful, but it hadnt been exactly silent. On the floor above her, some sailors had heard several hits and knocks coming from the cargo floor. They didnt seem like something particularly serious, but the first-mate had ordered two sailors to investigate the situation even so. From what Dianna could hear, whoever was coming was likely to arrive in less than a minute.

Dianna swore quietly as her leg stung. She tried to work the muscle but, as she felt the slight twist, she realised in frustration that she was going to have a limp for a day or two until the burning ache calmed down. She didn't have long to concentrate on her calf, though, as her blonde head snapped up at the noise of the two sailors tramping down the corridor. She maybe had moments to try and secrete herself before whoever it was heading her way came through the only door in the cargo hold. Quickly, cursing silently and biting the inside of her cheek to distract herself from the pain in her leg, she hobbled over to the stack of crates closest to the one she had kicked apart. She shoved the top one, with a heave as the ship rolled from a swell in the river to help her, so that it banged up against the broken one. Hopefully the sailors would see it and assume that the boxes had been poorly stacked and just broken in a fall. That done, she limped back around, making it into the shadows near the door just as she heard the footsteps reach her. Pressing herself against the wall of the ship in the dark, she tried to quiet her breathing. Dianna hoped that she would be able to slip out of the cargo hold and elsewhere into the ship whilst the sailors explored the broken crate over the other side of the room. It was a risky plan, but that was all she had.

As Dianna pushed the crate, it fell down right against the crate she had just gotten herself out of. Not only it helped damaging the larger crate more than the paladin had already done, but also ended up breaking the one she had just pushed as well, causing a loud and audible crack to echo across the room just as the sailors were entering the room. The splattered contents of the second crate were then spilled on the ships wooden floor, causing a foul smell to spread around the dim lit place. As the pair sailors entered the room and saw one crate smashing against the other, they quickly rushed to the place. With a disgusted look on their faces, most likely caused by the smell, they examined the situation. If that was a bright room and those sailors had been gifted with the mental capacities of the average man, they wouldve been able to see that the hole through which the paladin managed to get out of the larger crate couldnt have been caused by the accident that just happened. However, under the awful illumination of the place and due to the boaters absolute incomprehension of physics and logic, they didnt manage to see anything. Also, the fact that the smell of something similar to rotten eggs was assaulting their noses wasnt exactly helping. Twas just the rocking of ye ol ship concluded one of them, immediately turning his back to leave. He had obviously been in that place for far too long Nothin to do here, aye? he asked his partner. Oy, dont ye think we take a closer look? replied the other, still not as convinced or not as bothered as his partner This be lookin weird. Th capn gunna be mad if we screw up his cargo he insisted. Ye wanna stay and go lookin fer th rat who caused tis, be me guest the first one said, shrugging I be not spendin another moment in tis rathole he finished. Despite the second sailors initial disagreement with the first one, he didnt try to argue on the situation. Even though he thought there was something fishy on the whole situation, that room was quickly becoming a place that not many people would like to stay inside for long, let alone conduct an investigation in there. With that in mind, as soon as his partner left, he went upstairs with him, closing the door when they stepped out. Like this, Dianna managed to escape from her prison crate without being detected. However, that still left her with the trouble of having to sneak around the ship for the next two weeks before they arrived in the Adhara province. That is, if the ship was still going there.

Diana breathed out with relief but, straight away, almost gagged as she sucked in the foul smell released by the broken crate's content. Hand over her mouth, she edged her way along the wooden wall, hearing the two men close the door as they go. Thankfully, when she reached the portal and turned the handle, she found it mercifully unlocked. Thanking the Gods under her breath, she slipped out and into the corridor beyond, closing the door into the hold behind her. Doors line the darkened corridor. She guessed she was still in the bowels of the ship, judging by the roll of the waves beneath her feet, but there was no other indication of what was in this part of the vessel. She gulped. She needed a place to hide until the next stop. Diana had given up the idea of riding this ship all the way - this stowaway plan had been a mistake and now she resolved simply to hide until the first point of call and slip off the ship and resume her travels in another way. Steeling herself she approached the closest door. She could, she hoped, bargain or even threaten any resident to keep quiet. But, really, she hoped for an empty cabin in which she could lie low. She turned the handle, slowly, trying to peer in through a crack without revealing herself to anyone who might be inside.

The corridor in which Dianna found herself after getting out of the cargo room was a rather long, yet narrow one. Even in the darkness, she could see at least eight doors, five on her right side and three on her left. About midway through the corridor, a staircase could also be seen. The stairs led to the upper part of the ship, but without knowing the vessels layout there was no way for her to know precisely where that would take her. The closest door was one to her right. As she carefully turned the handle, the door opened silently, which was kind of surprising considering its conditions. However, through the small crack, she still couldnt see much. From that angle, she could see a wall, some sort of nightstand and, if she dared open the door a little bit more, a small part of what seemed to be a bunk. The room seemed to be decently illuminated, at least in comparison with what she had seen of the ship thus far. At first glance, the room seemed empty. However, as Dianna took a more careful look, she caught a glimpse of what vaguely looked like a human shadow against the rooms wall. It couldve just been the paladins imagination, as the shadow faded away just a moment after she noticed it, but it was also an indication that there was a big chance of someone being inside the cabinet. Luckily for her, if there really was a person in that room, he or she was still yet to notice that they were being spied upon. Still, that didnt mean that the girl had a lot of time to think about her next course of action. From where she stood, she could hear the sound of footsteps approaching her, likely through the stairs. There was no way of prcising how many people there were, but by the rhythm of the steps alone it seemed pretty clear that there was more than one. Because of her injured leg, it was hard to tell how far she could go before people arrived at the corridor. Even so, she could safely assume that she would be able to get inside the room she was currently peeking, to go back to the cargo room or to turn around and try to enter the room behind her. Trying the next door to the right was also a possibility, although a riskier one. If she tried to reach any other door, there would be a really high risk of getting caught.

The Paladin thought, for a moment, that she saw something move in the half-light of the room. A shadow that flickered out of sight just as she caught it with her eye. She froze, listening, but all she could hear was the sound of the river swishing up against the hull and the muffled sounds of the crew above. She let out a ragged breath, quietly, trying to juggle her options. She wished she never set foot on this poxy boot - she was definitely going to try and jump ship at the next stop she told herself. She'd make for her destination some other way. What the hells had she been thinking stowing away like this? Her leg throbbed, angrily, and she shifted her balance off of it for a moment to give it some relief. Then she heard steps coming towards her. She looked up, panicked, but no-one was yet in sight. Still, they sounded closer and closer as she listened, hard boots echoing on the worn wooden planks of the ship. She had maybe moments to act before being discovered. Clenching her jaw, and her fist, the impetuous young blonde made up her mind in a split-second. She opened the door she had just cracked a little and stepped inside, closing the door behind her and pressing her back against it. She scanned the room, eyes wide, unsure of what was about to confront her. Still, better to try and deal with the unknown in a small space than be exposed to the whole ship...

The paladin rushed into the room, the door slamming behind her after she went through it. The room was small and decently illuminated by the small hatch on the wall in front of her. To her right side, there was a bunk bed and two small chests in front of it. From where she stood, it was possible to see that the sheets on both the top and bottom parts of the bunk bed were quite messed up. To her left, there was a simple single bed, also with a chest lying in front of it. However, this one had its sheets organized and in place. Between them, there was only a small space where two people could barely stand side by side. Yet, that wasnt the most important information she found in the room. Her worries when she was peeking at the room seemed to be justified, since in front of her stood a young man who seemed to be no over 25 years old. With tanned skin, he stood quite a few inches above Dianna and looked quite bulky and strong. The moment she entered the room, he was turned to the bunk bed, most likely checking something on it, but he quickly turned towards the door when he heard it slamming. For a moment, his dark brown eyes looked fixedly to the blonde girl in front of him, trying to understand the awkward situation that presented itself. What the heck is the meaning of this? Whys there a woman in my room? he asked loudly, probably more to himself than to Dianna Explain yourself, woman! Last time I checked, this ship didnt allow women aboard. You bring bad luck. So why is there one standing in front of me right? the man continued, now clearly addressing the girl He paused for a moment and slowly walked towards Dianna. The more he approached, the clearer the height difference between them was. Yet, despite his words, his face retained a neutral and calm expression. He stopped a little over a foot away from her, his arms resting loosely besides his body, his eyes occasionally glancing at her waist line before fixing themselves on her face again. Im waiting for your answer, woman. What are you doing here and why shouldnt I just go through you and get the crew to kick you out of the ship while its still sailing? The man insisted, his expression still neutral, though.

Dianna swore, under her breath, when she saw the young man standing in the room she had just rushed into. He seemed well built, too strong to simply rush, if that had even occurred to the virtuous paladin. As it was she pressed her back to the wooden door, hoping that his raised voice would not attract attention. She held her ground as he approached, indeed drawing herself up a little to her full height, even though it was a little shorter than he. She was a Paladin dammit - that had to count for something. She was a holy knight sworn to sacred duty, and even though she was a stowaway on this boat, she still had some standing. 'I know I've intruded on you sir' she said, her tone level but also conciliatory 'but you must give me shelter. I am a Paladin on an urgent holy mission for the church. This was the only ship giving passage to my destination, and they would not take me due to my gender. I sneaked aboard but was almost discovered - please sir. I beg you. Shelter me here until I can slip ashore at the next stop. I will pay you what money I have' With that she tailed off, aware that she was very much at his mercy now.

The young man shook his head at her, chuckling slightly I dont care about your position, girl. I couldnt care less about your church, your gods or your mission. This has nothing to do with me and I will only be troubled if I give shelter to a woman in this room The young man said, looking down at her as he spoke. His voice wasnt particularly harsh, but it also didnt show any empathy towards her Even your money doesnt mean anything to me. I dont belong in these lands and plan on leaving as soon as I get done with brought me here, meaning your currency wont be worth shit to me With Dianna pressing her back against the door, the tanned man stepped towards her, as if he to attempt to go through her. Looking down at her, he reached his arm to the door, but stopped himself midway. Although claiming to be a paladin, the girl actually looked like as if she was a rich young woman from a noble family. The kind who would live a sheltered life and stay inside for most of her days, only stepping out to see other noble people. Once he realized that, something clicked inside his head and he smirked. However, I would be willing to shelter you in our room if you were to offer other things, dear paladin the young man calmly said, putting his large hand, that was reaching for the door seconds ago, on her shoulder You see, I wouldnt go as far as considering a lady onboard as bad luck, like those filthy sailors likely would, so I would be willing to turn a blind eye on this matter. Yet, since Im likely to get in trouble over this, I want you to make the risk Im taking worthwhile. So, how about I give you shelter if you provide us the kind of services that only a fine lady as yourself could provide? That would last until we reach the first stop, which should be in two days the man proposed, giving her a smirk. Since Dianna had her back pressed against the door, she could hear the sound of footsteps on the corridor. They seemed to be approaching their position rather quickly. From that distance, she could even tell that there were people chatting on the other side.

She stiffened at his touch, her blood running cold. What was he going to ask of her? What would he want of her? She'd not expected him to be particularly welcoming, but in her experience the combination of moral authority, piety, and duty that a Paladin represented usually contained some element that persuaded most people to help in some way. Or at the very least not be actively obstructive. But this young man was different. He was devoid of empathy - she would have called it calculating if he'd been interested in her money. But he had said he wasn't. She frowned, pressing herself back against the wood of the door, wondering what on earth he did want. Her body? A cold shiver ran over her. And what did he mean about not belonging to these lands? Was he a traveler? A fugitive? Her mind raced. The footsteps in the passage were coming closer though, echoing off the wood, as the sailors moved towards them. They were unaware of her presence at the moment, but all it would take would be for this young man to call out, or open the door, or in some way raise the alarm. She was entirely in his power. Rita clenched her fists by her sides in frustration at her powerlessness. 'Fine' she said in a low voice. 'I will provide you with the services you desire'. What those were to be, of course, she had no idea. She tried not to think of it so far.
