Slowly, a ceiling came into vision. Silvexian could feel himself dangling inside of something. He looked to his side. He was in a net. And in his Water Dwelling Form too. On the ground he saw a pirate asleep on a keg like it was a pillow. This must of meant they had mistaken him for some sort of mermaid or something. He extended his razors and heard someone approaching. He slid then back in just in case he was seen. He pretended to still be out. "Vorgun, are you ready to exucute him now?" "Aye captain," replied someone, likely Vorgun. "Rodo, wake up!" It was the first voice, the captain. He man on the keg jumped. "Get ready to throw him in the pit." He heard footsteps coming over to his net. It was unhooked. "Take him to the back room while we finish toasting the others," added the captain. After a long time of being carried, he was thrown into a room and the door was locked. There were multiple skeletons in here. This must be where prisoners were kept. Silvexian quickly cut the net and stood up. Perhaps someone else would be caught and help him escape?

"Ye c'n stay wit our merm'd frien' in 'e back room," said Ixina's former ship-mate. She helps a friend steal some grub from the captain's special storage, gets caught, and gets all the blame while her friend gets off with three lashes. She could've easily taken the two men leading her to the back room, but she didn't want to cause anymore trouble. She was dim, but not stupid. Besides, she had always wanted to see a merfolk. That was the main reason she became a pirate.

When they reached the door, her former ship-mate took a rack of keys from his back pocket. She noticed his hands were shaking."Aw, Sliffy, ye ain't scared o' me are ye," she said tauntingly. The pirate Slifton, nicknamed Sliffy, ignored the comment though worry showed clearly on his face.He unlocked the door and he and the other man shoved Ixina inside. Though she didn't move very much, she had to walk the rest of the way inside the door.

Then she saw it. She wasn't sure if it was male or female, so she called it, it. The door slammed shut behind her and the muffled sound of a lock turning. Ixina was speechless. Weren't merfolk supposed to be half human half fish."A-Are ye one o' dem merfolk?" she croaked hesitantly.

Silvexian looked up, hearing a few loud thuds. Someone had been put in there with him. "A-Are ye one o' dem merfolk?" she asked. Silvexian sighed. "No, actually," he said. "I'm a Metavion; a race with 3 different forms. This is one of them." He lifted his hand in the air, which water began to suddenly flood from. As the water cleared, it started to become more like a human's skin, as then his face began to cover in water. The razors began to sink in, as water went everywhere. In place was someone who appeared fully human. He had on a black outfit. And the water, well, it was gone!

"I'm in here because they mistook me for one. They said they wanted to execute me."

Ixina stared in wonder as this....Metavion, changed forms...or races....or something. Ixina couldn't understand what, but she knew it was amazing. She snapped out of her trance and said,"Well, I know this ship like I know 'e waters of Arda," she said almost proudly. She put her ear next to the door to hear if there were footsteps or not. Silence. She took a running stance and began to charge at the door. The burly woman smashed straight through the door and right into the captain of the pirate crew."Oy, watchit!" she yelled. When she saw who it was her eyes grew wide.'Good, tha' knocked 'im out,' she thought. She looked back at the....man and asked"'Ey, ye comin er not?"

"Well, I know this ship like I know 'e waters of Arda," she said. Silvexian watched as she put her ear next to the door. She stepped back, then charged at the door and busted it down. "Oy, watchit!" she cried to someone. "Ey, ye comin er not?" she asked him. He nodded and stood. He got up and headed out where she was. "They might see us," he said.
