Username: hinastar
Name: Tabatha (though she likes to be called Tabby))
Age: 18
Gender: female
Race: human
Rank: Assasin/Ninja
Weapon: daggers, knives
Appearance:
Bio: Tabby belongd to a very healthy and rich tribe. Her village was widely know for being the best assasination ninjas. Her village was burnt down one day with her as the only survior. As she travels alone, she makes money off of valubale things and assasinations. She heard a rumor about this item and knew she would stop at nothing to get it, even if it ment killing thousands.

Sakuya traveled by horse to the mountainous region. She stopped in a town to gather supplies. She waited outside the store to look for her wallet

There was a commotion suddenly on the top deck of the ship. Ophelia, being in the main hold, could just hear it, from where she was. She rushed up the stairs, seeming to move fluidly, as if she were off of the ground.

Reaching the deck, she looked around. The rest of the crew were in a tizzy scuttling this way and that.

"Men!" She shouted, but recieved no response. From anyone. After a few more shouts, she grabbed a younger man, by the name of Lou, and he stopped. "What in Radha's name is going on?!" She'd used one of the older Godesses' names in her fervor. "Are we landing?" Lou only nodded, running off again. Ophelia, rolling her eyes, made her way to the helm. She could never get a good answer around here.

Sakuya went into the store and purchased her supplies. She also got a piece of bread to eat going to sit on the bench outside. She looked up at the sky and thought she saw something but decided it was a cloud and kept eating. She finished her bread and started looking at the boats along the coast

It was at the very least another half hour before they finally landed in the mountainous region of a land that, hard to believe, Ophelia did not think she'd seen before. The captain, a fierce, much older man, ordered them to go to the nearest town, to stock up on supplies. Rolling her eyes once more, our piratess disembarked with the rest of the crew, and headed out into the new country, to find a town.

Sakuya left the harbor since the boats there weren't anything she was looking for. She started asking people around the town if they knew anything about the legendary item. She kept getting the same response, no one knew anything, she thought about giving up but decided to go see the fortune teller.
"Hey, lady. I'd like to know how to find something so, can you help me?" she asked"I can tell you anything you want, my dear" the old fortune teller answered "Alright! So can you tell me-" before Sakuya could finish her sentence, the old fortune teller had her hand out. "My readings aren't free kid." the old lady said "Oh, uh, right. So how much?" she asked. "For you, 5,000 gold pieces." the old lady said. "WHAT???!!! You old hag! Thats a rip off!!!" she shouted. Sakuya shouted so loud that, everyone outside the shop could hear her

Finally, a town. Ophelia was SO glad for this, and wandering through, she suddenly came across a young woman yelling at an old fortune teller. She raised an eyebrow, walking up behind the girl, and placing a hand on her shoulder.
"It isn't polite to yell at your elders." She said in a low voice.

Sakuya brushed the lady's hand off her and turned around to her.
"If you knew this crazy old lady's prices, you would know why I'm yelling. Anyway I'm not going to deal with this anymore." She said starting to walk outside

Ophelia again arched a brow.
"'Crazy old lady', huh?" She mused, and then bent down, taking the old woman's hand in hers. "Please, old one, have patience." The old woman smiled, the wrinkles in her craggy face seeming to lift. She put a hand on top of Ophelia's.
"You have a special aura about you, child. I see great things in your future..." Ophelia smiled, standing.
"Thank you, ma'am. I'll be off now." She bowed her head, and started after the younger girl. The old fortune teller smiled, shutting her eyes.
"May Lailas bless you, young one."

Tabby got finished with her last assasination of the day. "That make $500 for today. Not a bad day." she smilied as she sat up in one of the trees. "I will move onto the next town tomorrow." she smilied as she bit into a apple and looked up at the sky.

Sakuya raised a brow to why Ophelia paused in her sentence.
"So...whats your deal? The thing I don't understand about you is that your not confrontational but maybe its just none of my buisness or maybe its because you don't like the thought of violence. Well I guess thats good in its own way but not everyone in this world is going to be kind...and giving....I've...!!!" She covered her mouth and stared at the ground. "Heh, so much for that,huh?" She said then jumped on top of a building.

The wolf demoness raised an eyebrow.
"Well that went well." She said, to no one in general. "Hmm..." Her ears flattened to her head. "How rude..." She shook her head, beginning to walk off.

Sakuya sat on the building and watched Ophelia start to walk off. She looked up at the sky and saw a star fall in the middle of the afternoon.
"Huh? Hey! Uhh...uhhh...Whats her face? Uhhh oh right! Ophelia!" She said jumping in front of her. "Did you see that too?" She asked her.

Ophelia was standing stock-still.
"I did." She replied quietly, staring at the sky. "Something is going to happen..." She murmured.

Sakuya stared at the sky and saw something drift down and hit her on the head. "Ow!" She looked at it and saw that it was a black shard. She looked up and saw black shards starting to pour down on them. "Whoah!" she ran to go find a place for shelter

Tabby looked up at the sky and caught one of the black shards. "A sign?" she said as she watched more fall.

Ophelia stood in the street, staring up at the sky throught the chaos of people running to take cover. What was this? Strangely enough, none of the shards were hitting her. She caught one in her hand, reaching up at the sky. It glowed brightly for a moment, and then seemed to melt. She jumped, letting go of the thing abruptly, but nothing fell from her hand. Her eyes widened.
"What...what is this?"

Tabby looked at Ophelia and jumped down from the tree. "It seems like it is a sign to something about to happen." she said.

Sakuya looked up and saw the clouds turn a dark black color."Whats going on? This is strange.." she said as she kept feeling all the shards hitting her and making her bleed. "Wonder why its hitting me this much." she said looking over at little kids getting hurt too. She ran over to them and started deflecting the shards away from the kids with her swords. "I don't know how long I can keep this up" she whispered.

Ophelia nodded at Tabby, and ran over to Sakuya.
"Need a little help?" She asked, smirking and whipping out a sword.

Tabby watched them. "Why are they helping them?" she said. "Its there own fault if they get hurt so why should they help."

Sakuya looked at Ophelia and smirked. "Heh, I really don't understand you at all. Help if you want to, but I have a better idea than this." she said as she started pushing the kids gently into a shelter close to them. "See? No assistance needed." she said while taking the shards out of her body.

"The only thing humans are good for is money." Tabby said. "Anyway, do you know anything about these black shards?" she asked.

Sakuya looked over at Tabby. "Heh, and the only thing money is good for is for the greedy humans. These shards are annoying..." she said while making the shards fall off her body. "Besides this is a sign." she said with a smile

"Don't compare me to them. I just need money to survive." she said. "But what kind of sign?"

"So you mean you need greed to survive, I understand. Besides its a sign of good fortune." she said with a smirk and watched the bright light shine off in the distance.

Tabby said nothing as she watched where the light went. "Later." she said as she followed after it.

Ophelia watched the light fall to the earth, create a beautiful glow, and then fade. She quickly ushered the children to safety, trying to block the shards from them. It was at this time that one of her crewmates came running up, covering his head with his arms.
"Ophelia!" He called. "Ophelia!" He sprinted up to her. "We've got our supplies! We have to get back to the ship! This rain is frightening the crew-the captain wants to get out of here!" Ophelia frowned. If something was making the captain uneasy...then it usually boded ill for everyone.
"Alright..." She replied. "Let's go."

Sakuya watched the direction where the light was. "This is it." she said to herself. She ran over to the ships while trying not get hit by the shards. She checked her bag for her supplies and was getting ready to get on a ship.

Tabby kept following the light. She noticed the shards were coming down faster. "Dang it." she said as she summond her fox and climbed on her back. "Just keep going." she told it.
