Pirates In Love: A King's Treasure

Prologue

He Mele No Lilo

Reyna smiled as she watched a little boy fighting Russell with a wooden sword from beside Eduardo. The navigator was currently setting out another course, memorizing what Morgan had instructed him to do.

"Russell, ease up a bit please," Reyna called, noticing Russell was getting a little too rough with their sparring. Both Russell and the little boy looked up at the female pirate, both wearing grins on their faces.

"I thought I was!" Russell called cheerfully and she raised an eyebrow.

"Mama! I'm fine!" the little boy complained and she chuckled lightly, seeing Eduardo and Morgan smirks at her from the corner of her eye as they resumed their sparring.

"Reyna, you coddle the lad too much," Eduardo commented and she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "At this rate, he'll be as weak as Thomas."

Morgan shot the navigator a warning look. "Hey, that's my son you're talking about."

Reyna smiled softly and walked down the steps, heading to the bow of the ship and drinking in the feeling of being close to the ocean, feeling it calling to her. With a sigh, she turned away and headed back to the captain's quarters and went to the desk, grabbing a journal and the quill.

My dearest Lucius,

If you're reading this, then you have either explored into places you shouldn't; or either Christopher or Nathan have given this to you to read. You should know that your father and I participated in many things, keeping the peace and balance in the ocean as the Pirate King and his treasure.

I have to confess, I wasn't a pirate for the first eighteen years of my life. No, I was nothing but a mere young girl who worked as a bar maid in Yamoto, the home town of your Uncle Aaron. You see, I was born in the far north of the world, on a small island called Iciuis, the only place in the world where the ocean and mankind connected in both physical and spiritual ways. But due to certain circumstances, your grandmother was forced to flee when I was four and seek refuge in Yamato. There, she raised me and fell in love with a navy officer and had a son.

As history dictates it, those from Iciuis aren't welcome in many countries for others fear of the powers residing in the residences of the magical island. Hence why your grandmother and I hid our abilities and true natures. It didn't make me happy but I understood and still trained in secret in the forests of Yamoto.

The story of how your father and I met isn't a romantic one, but just an ordinary day working at the bar….

oOo

Ten years ago…

Reyna began setting the tavern up, placing the chairs down onto the ground and giving the floor a quick sweep. The owner had ducked out a while ago for family emergencies so she was left to open the tavern by herself.

A strand of her light blonde, close to white hair fell in front of her ocean blue eyes and she huffed, putting the broom against the counter and re-doing her ponytail.

A loud knock at the door interrupted her; along with a few surly voices calling out, "Open up! Gimme some booze!"

Reyna rolled her eyes, finished fixing her hair and walked over to the door. "Sorry, we're not opened until this afternoon," she informed them as she opened the door, only to be shoved onto the ground by two drunk men as they piled into the tavern. "Hey!"

"Gimme some booze, ya, damn bar!" a freckled man demanded as Reyna stood up, brushing dust off of her dress and glared at the man.

"I'm really sorry but we're not open at this hour," she told them curtly, crossing her arms over her chest. "So I will have to ask you to leave immediately."

"Hm? Ya wan' us t' go away, don't ya!" he exclaimed, stepping close and jabbing her chest rather roughly. She slapped his hand away and looked at him defiantly while one of the other men looked at her with interest.

"Ah, nice body ya got," he sneered, reaching out to grab her wrist but she slapped his hand away as well.

"It's not for sale!" she snapped at him until she felt something sharp pressed against her neck. Her eyes widened as one of the men held her wrist, a knife to her neck. "Let me go you bastard!"

"I'm not letting ya back down. Ya won't get punished for this," a voice whispered into her ear, the smell of ale strong in his mouth and Reyna gagged slightly.

"If you don't release me this instant, you'll regret it!" she warned but they all laughed at her. Reyna searched the tavern for some water just as a gun shot rang, the man holding the knife to her neck pulling away, groaning and holding his arm.

Footsteps came in with a man with a black eye patch, dark brown coat and dark brown hair stepped into the bar, gun in his hand. "Too many bottom feeders around here."

Reyna's eyes widened as she looked at him as he glanced at her before looking at the drunken pair of men. "Stop flirting with a child. It's embarrassing."

"You are you calling a child?!" Reyna shouted at him in fury, finding water in the flower vase on the counter and used that to her control.

"Who are you?" one of the men demanded.

"You go for a scrawny one like this?" he continued to insult her while she ignored him, bending the water closer to her and standing in a battle stance.

The door slammed opened once more, this time with another man walking in. He had a sword strapped to his hip with light coloured hair. "Eduardo! Don't go in alone!" he yelled at the man whom Reyna guessed was this Eduardo.

"Who the fuck are ya?" the man with freckles demanded and he glanced at him, eyes burning for a fight.

"What're ya bragging about? I'll take up the glove," he challenged and Reyna glared at all of them.

"No!" she shouted, catching their attentions. "Not in the bar! Fucking take it outside!"

Despite her words, a fight actually broke out in the middle of the tavern, much to Reyna's displeasure. Although she had water circling around her, her mother's warnings and words came to her mind.

You must never bend in front of others; a gift like this must be kept hidden…

But it could save my life; she figured and was about to water whip a man that came closer when she was suddenly pulled roughly towards the door. The water fell to the ground with a splash and Reyna glared murderously at the man who grabbed her; Eduardo.

"Don't just stand there! Get out!" he ordered her and she snatched her arm back from him.

"What are you high? I can't just leave!" she exclaimed to him in fury, crossing her arms over her chest.

This took Eduardo by surprise as he blinked. "What?"

"I have to protect the bar while the owner is away!" she told him and he collected his surprise, practically throwing her out.

"You're talkin' in sleep, get out!" he ordered, slamming the door in her face. Reyna, thoroughly pissed off now, started banging on the door with shouts of removing a certain body part if she wasn't let back in.

"There she is!" one of them pointed to her and Reyna looked at them with her eyes widened. "'Cause of you, our buddies got hurt!"

Annoyed, Reyna kicked a few barrels towards them before sprinting off towards the docks. She heard shouts behind her and glanced over her shoulder to see they were pretty far behind.

As she made it to the docks, Reyna looked around for something to hide in. A barrel stood out to her and without a moment's hesitation, opened the barrel and jumped inside, covering it.

Reyna strained her ears, listening over the sounds of seagulls, the busy streets and the many ships pulling in and out of port. Over everything, she could hear the voices of the men looking for her.

With a sigh, she tried to get as comfortable as she could in the barrel. "Looks like I'll be here for a while," she murmured to herself. Suddenly, the barrel was thrown onto its side and started to move. What? No! Someone's actually taking the barrel?

The barrel jolted a bit over a slope, effectively knocking her head against the barrel and rending her unconscious.

oOo

As Reyna slowly woke up, the back of her head splitting in a painful migraine, she recalled where she was. I have to get out of here; she told herself, trying to push the barrel open but something was sitting on it. "Are you freakin' kidding me?" she hissed, trying to open it but to no avail.

"Okay, I'll bring you the booze," a man's voice called and Reyna froze, ceasing her movements. A moment later, the barrel was tipped on its side and the lid opened, making her fall out of the confined space.

"What the hell!" she exclaimed, sitting up and rubbing her head, trying to ease the pain. Dammit, why didn't her mother ever teach her the healing side to bending the water?

"Booze transformed into a woman. Nathan'll be pissed off," a voice said and Reyna looked up, finding a guy with a boyish looking face filled with despair. "Oh man, I'm in deep trouble."

Reyna stood up just as another man walked in, wearing a black bandana on his head. "Thomas, what's taking you so long? Just bring me the booze back!" he called in irritation.

"Nathan!" Thomas said in surprise while Nathan's eyes found Reyna standing there.

"Whoa?!" he stopped in his tracks, staring at her. "What's a woman doing here?"

"Nathan! I'm sorry!" Thomas apologised quickly. "But, I don't know what's going on."

Reyna sighed, rubbing the bridge between her eyes. "Can I point out neither do I?"

"How the hell did you get on our ship?" he demanded when she looked at him, her eyes widened at the information.

"I'm on a ship?" she asked in shock and Thomas nodded his head.

"Yeah…didn't you know?"

Reyna let out a string of colourful words, groaning and putting her face into her hands. "I was chased by some drunks….dammit!" she swore loudly.

"Damn," Nathan grumbled before picking Reyna up and throwing her over his shoulder. Immediately, Reyna reacted strongly and protested violently to being carried over someone's shoulder.

"Put me down!" She shouted, punching his back with her fists and he grunted slightly but continued to walk. "Are you deaf? Let me go!"

"Shut up! Don't bark like a dog," Nathan snapped in irritation as he kept walking.

Soon, they arrived in some kind of medical room and Nathan dumped Reyna onto the ground rather roughly. Reyna landed on her ass with a loud yelp and then glared at Nathan murderously.

"Sure, let's just dump a girl onto the ground," she said sarcastically, standing up as Nathan ignored her, turning to a dark skinned man.

"Doc, you've got a patient," Nathan informed the dark skinned man who smiled gently at Reyna.

"Oh, this's an unusually pretty patient," he smiled in surprise and she just looked at them in suspicion.

"I think she hit her head," Nathan told the doctor who went behind her, studying the back of her head while Thomas and Nathan left the infirmary.

"You've gotta big lump here," he murmured and then looked at her. "You're safe here…don't worry."

Reyna snorted, putting a hand on her hip. "Define safe exactly?" she asked and he chuckled lightly at her comment.

"You've gotten on board without knowing it…I'm sorry…" he apologised as he handed her a pack of ice and Reyna shrugged her shoulders, placing the ice of her lump and sighing quietly at the relief.

"Not much I can do at the moment, so don't apologise for something you had no involvement in," she told him firmly and he looked at her in surprise before smiling warmly.

"They're dining on the deck right now. I'll introduce you to everybody," the doctor said, leading her out of the infirmary. As they climbed the steps, arriving on deck, Reyna looked out at the pitch black sea, breathing in the ocean air. An even stronger presence called to her and Reyna looked up at the night sky, finding it was a full moon.

"Guys, attention please!" the doctor called, catching the attention of every man in the center of the ship. "We have a guest."

"A woman! What the hell is a woman doing on our ship?!" one exclaimed and Reyna immediately recognised him from the bar, the one with twin fencer swords.

"Is she your woman, Doc?" He asked and Reyna gaped at him in shock and disbelief.

"I'm no one's woman!" she exclaimed at him, earning surprised looks from some of the men.

Nathan snorted in agreement. "Doc ain't have no woman. How 'bout Eduardo?"

"What about me?" Eduardo asked and Reyna recognised him as well from the bar.

She narrowed her eyes at him, recalling the insults. "It's you."

"You were at the bar," recognition flashed through his eye and Reyna nodded. "What's your name?"

"Reyna, what's it to you?" she challenged, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at him evenly.

Eduardo's lips curved into a smirk. "Reyna…I may remember that before you get swallowed by the sea."

Reyna's eyes widened in shock and anger while Eduardo continued to speak, his voice laced with a serious tone. "Choose one, with a blindfold or without one."

Only use your power in self-defence and where there are no other options, Reyna's mother had often told her and she figured this was one of those times; luckily she was in a place where water was plentiful.

Reyna uncrossed her arms and held her hand out to the ocean, pulling some water that wrapped around her body in a circle. All of the men looked at her in shock while she glared. "Try and let's see what happens."

A booming laugh interrupted them; with a man wearing a captain's hat appeared next to her, swinging his arm around her shoulder. "This is some entertainment….perfect under the full moon."

Reyna yelped at the surprise contact, stepping away as the water fell to the ground. He watched her amusement and she was surprised to see him unafraid of her.

"I made a decision!" he declared, silencing the other pirates. Reyna's guess was he was the captain of the ship. "This woman is now a member of Sirius!"

"What?!" they all exclaimed back in surprise.

Nathan shook his head. "Captain! Your out of your mind!" he objected but the captain just shrugged his shoulders.

"I was wondering that this ship is reeking too much of male sweat. Besides, it ain't every day ya see someone from Iciuis," he shrugged his shoulders, grinning at her.

"It's Captain's order, guys," Russell sighed, obviously not happy with the outcome.

The captain turned to Reyna with a serious face. "Woman, listen carefully. Sirius has three strict rules: One, protect your buddy with your life. Two, never let women or children get harmed."

That explains why they saved me at the bar; Reyna spared a glance at Russell and Eduardo before turning back to the captain. Not that I needed it though…

His face broke out into a grin. "Three, we party till dawn when it's a full moon. Don't worry, these guys are all nice to women."

Reyna scoffed at his words, glancing at Eduardo, Russel and Nathan. "Is that before or after they try and kill you?" she asked dryly and the captain chuckled.

"We have one problem, though. We don't have a spare room for ya," He explained and Reyna's face fell.

"Seriously?"

"You gotta share a room with someone," he added and ignored the shouts or protest from the crew members.

Alright, this is what I have been writing during my two-week break/block of my others stuff. I honestly love this game, (Nathan is my favourite, followed by Morgan and Eduardo,) and thought to do a fanfic on it.

Now I like to call this the elemental series since every guy I will pair has a girl with a certain...element per say. Basically the chick won't be a stupid, dense, weak MC and I match the element to the guy whom I think suits it best. Example: Thomas x MC from the Fires of Iciuis etc.

So don't complain or anything, I honestly think the plot line works for me personally, afterall, there are weirder shit in the game than a chick who can bend an element. And before you go all, Avatar: Last Airbender on me, I stand by my reasons. Besides, it won't be ALL elements, there is the element which I personally believe to be the seventh one: Spirit and the MC for my fic with Nathan has it.

So yeah...
