Even the biggest simpleton could have sensed the tension between the two of them as he walked. Something that got even worse when he moved to give her a lift. When she accused him of taking the hard way though, he couldn't help but smile.I like a challenge. He told her, but the moment that she...

Ah. Mako couldn't help the knot that formed in his stomach at her response, the slight color that flickered into his cheeks. It happened before he could grab a hold of himself. Small as it was, the sting of her cut landed harder than anyone else's words could have. His fingers folding into...

Mako didn't wait to give her enough time to change her mind, heading towards the door and into the chilly night air. Though the Reach was temperate most times of the year, winter was quickly approaching. Flakes of snow had been seen last week, though none had managed to stick around for more...

A range of emotions whirled through him, and in truth Mako had no idea what to do with any of them. Radic had never been all that good when it came to the feelings department. Neither had any of the other Pirates he'd grown up with. The lot of them had been jaded, miserable bastards. He...

Mako could feel a buzzing in his chest. A growing desire to run over there and throw Emilie into his arms. It took every ounce of willpower he had to keep himself rooted to the ground. No look was offered to the stumbling man, nor towards anyone else in the room. A few still glanced at the two...

The man shouted up at him, but Mako's eyes had already caught sight of the only person he ever really cared about seeing. His heart stopped for a moment, but none of the pressure of his palms let up. Continuing to pin the man to the table. A grin spread over his cheeks, and finally he pulled...

Was it her? There wasn't really any logical reasons to think so. There were many redheads in this world with ill-tempers and fiercer rages. But blind hope and a foolish heart wanted more than anything for it to be her. It was entirely without reason. She was a Reckoner, as much as he. Emilie...

It took two days after the Sphinx reached land for Mako to cut his way into the Allirian Reach and find the town of Eldholm. The town was larger than most not located on the coast, with over five thousand residents and a few hundred more spotted in the woods around. The Rangers had a waystation...

Asherah Ocean - The Crimson Sphinx - Headed North https://images2.imgbox.com/e3/ad/AK0k8m0J_o.png The world was a dangerous place. That had been Redic's first lesson. From the moment he'd left the Bayou, the Pirate Captain had been clear about just what sort of life Mako was stepping into. It...

Mako passed the time like he always did while sitting in a cell; counting. It was a terrible habit, one that he'd picked up when his father would throw him in the closet, but he'd never quite managed to change it. Every minute trapped was a minute he could make no choice, but the choice he...

A shrug rolled over his shoulder that seemed to answer her comment with; Never claimed I was. Mako wasn't under any impression otherwise. He'd been born poor, and for most of his childhood life had scrapped by in any way that he could. Not an orphan, but close enough to it. The first person...

How much did he tell her? The question popped to the forefront of his mind. Truth was a powerful thing when it came to dealing with Pirates, more so with those that were distrustful in the first place. She had already caught him in one lie, would peddling more make it worse? "Because..." He...

Mako paused for a moment, wondering how much truth he should actually tell. The wrong would could still see him hanged from the main mast, but the right one... The mute shook his head, then wrote. "I have my own crew. The ones that threw me off their boat weren't it." He decided not to expand...

Fuck. Well, turns out there were a few clever pirates left sailing the seas. It was really a shame, he'd hoped that some fool of a merchant would scoop him up. Usually scamming them was easy enough. Not like he was looking to rob anyone, Mako just wanted to get back to shore. A long sigh...

It was a good question, and truthfully he probably should have thought about the answer before they'd scooped him up. In fairness to himself, he hadn't exactly been considering a cover story. Most people would scoop someone out of the sea and think it was a miracle they were still alive. That...
