After meeting the strange couple Ellie invites them aboard... For whatever reason after inviting them on board, they mentioned that someone was chasing them so I pulled the boat back into the mist and hid us away from shore while the two fell down on the deck. Ellie ran off to find Addie who had hidden away but came back with something weird ... Addie was here but she had covered up entirely some leather she found in the orcs spoils of war and is wearing a mask and hood. While they were away I was keeping at eye on the masts and ghost claws making sure they did everything right as touch alone isn't perfect for such a detailed act. The new duo rested for awhile before they looked up and a scream broke out. The girl in the dress ran towards Ellie and hid behind her back. "What are those ghastly claws! Is this a ghost ship!?!" Ellie looked at her and began to laugh as she pat the girl in the dress on the shoulder before walking over to me and picking me up and putting me on her shoulder... What if I didn't wanna be on her shoulder... She's lucky she's a comfy mount. As I curl up on the part of her hood that I designed to cover her shoulder. She points at me as says proudly with her chest puffed up. "This guy made them aren't they cute?" Even Addie seemed to be confused and shocked by that one but I can't tell for sure as she is so bundled up even my mist can't reach her face. The girl looks at me confused as the guy in armor is in the background not confused trying to attack my 'ghost' claws with his sword after exhaustedly hearing the scream and reacting on instincts but due to the fact they are entirely made of clouds he winds up just looking dumb. The girl suddenly looks at Ellie before turning to me again.
"You are a tamer?" The knight seemingly realizing something stopped attacking as he came close to the girl and pushes her behind his back as he points his sword as Ellie or more specifically her shoulder. "You monster fuckers left the civilized world years ago why have you come back?" Ellies smiling face faded to sadness as her shoulder slump forward clearly effected by the question. I wonder if it's cause he called her a monster fucker or simply the answer to his question that upset her... Regardless of reason I form a claw inside his guard and quickly swipe at his wrist as he yelps in pain losing his sword before forming a cloud layer around his body immediately causing the armor to be pushed away from him as it falls to the floor and he backs up into my cloudy claws looking around trying to figure out why he can't see anything. "Stop! He didn't mean any harm he was just trying to protect me!" Hearing the girls pleas Ellie looks at me and I can't help but give and inward sigh as I disperse the cloud layer around him but keep the cloud claws on stand bye while confiscating his weapon and armor and giving him the stink eye.
As the knights angry face comes into view he spots the sea of claws around him and his face goes pale and he raises his arms as his wrist is still bleeding. Addie over in the corner clearly stifling a laugh at the idiot. Well he clearly picked a fight he can't win... Seeing I let him loose and the knight stand down the girl breaths a sigh then turns to Ellie. "I apologize can you call off your pet now?" Welp... Now he dies. My claws all shot forward towards the guy but I am stopped by a hand on head... Looking up at Ellie I frown... Ok I wasn't actually gonna kill him... I swear... With a huff all the cloud claws go back to their jobs manning the ship as Ellie turned to the girl with a angry expression. "You almost got him killed you idiot... Don't call him that..." Seeing Ellies awkward face towards the end the girl frowns and nods along. After being freed the night drops to the ground the exhaustion hitting him again as I begin to ignore the new people. Ellie gives a tired sigh and walks up to the girl. "Well lets try again. Hello I'm Ellie." Hearing Ellie Addie chimes in "The soul survivor of the out casted tribe." Ellie's face turning sad as Addie chimed in while the new girls face became confused. "Out casted? I thought the tamers chose to leave?" realizing she got distracted the girl nodded and took Ellies hand "Sorry, I am Anna and that's Nathon my bodyguard." Noticing the clear lack of panties on the girl in the dress with my mist that is floating about I write out a cloud text to Ellie seeing it Ellie nods "Ok Anna come with me inside and you can tell me about why you were being chased and what happened." I close my eyes and rest on Ellies shoulder as Addie follows in interest everyone leaving the bodyguard whose collapsed on the ground behind. I quickly grab him by the shoulder with a cloud claw and drag him into a different room and tie him up with a random cloth I found.
After a good hour of explanation Ellie finally asked the question on me and her mind. "Hey uhm question. Is that guy really your bodyguard. He's not like your abuser or anything? My little friend noticed the fact you are only wearing a dress and it raised some doubts." Directing her eyes at the girls crotch as she said only. With a surprised and embarrassed expression Anna responded. "No I just only had the chance to put this on before we ran as they had stripped me and this was all Nathon found. He's definitely my body guard not anything bad." Hearing her explanation I pull up a cloud that makes the girl flinch before shaping the picture of Nathon bound up struggling in the other corner as Ellie continues. "Really? Even knowing he is tied up you don't have anything to say. He can't force you or hurt you." Seeing the image of Nathon in the mist Anna is surprised and jumps up looking at it curiously before nodding. "Yeah he's my loyal bodyguard and a close friend. Can you let him go?" Hearing her answer Ellie nods then looks at me... Sigh whatever I was hoping he was like a human trafficker so I could kill him... A claw flies over and cuts the guard loose in the other room as the mist covers his wounds and I use mist healing on him.
Almost seconds after I had done all that he had already stumbled into the room and fell down on a knee before Anna. "Anna they tied me up, are you ok?" Even anna chucked a little seeing his worry and panic. "Yes Nathon they were just worried about me can you go sleep now before you die of exhaustion. What's that mist about?" seeing my mist covering his wounds the knight begins to try to rip it off but just grabs air over and over cause it's mist... Ellie and Addie openly laughed while they watched before Ellie chimed in. "He's healing you." Hearing Ellie the knights panic becomes suspicion but Anna stood up and put her hand on his shoulder. "Come on lets get you to bed. If the creature wanted to kill you he probably wouldn't have called off the ghost claws or let you loose." Hearing her Nathon frowned and went to argue but seeing her stern face he lowered his gaze to the ground and allowed her to pull him into one of the room that are covered in leather cloths that the orcs used as beds and flipped one over and helped him lay down before walking back in with us.
"Sorry about him he is just worried about me. It's been a long day." Ellie nodded while the masked lady had no apparent response... "So what are you gonna do now? You gonna go back to save your father?" Hearing her response Annas face fell staring at the ground with a blank expression she seemed to have been powered off. After a short while she looked at me. "Can you help us?" Me? No... Nah not strong enough your dumb half dead knight was one thing but idk how strong humans can get. Nor do I wanna pick a fight as these pack a animals that we call humans are much smarter then the monsters. After affirming my decision Ellie chimes in "Of course we can help what do you need?" dumb mount doesn't even understand simple logic... Well gotta protect her... I could try stopping her but then she might be more of a problem in the future. Sigh... whatever... Let's do this thing. I'd love to see what kinda exp I get for killing humans anyways and at least they have weaknesses unlike those hard headed skeletons. Trying to make a tired expression I nod my head.
