Dawn of Heroes

"you foul demon, show yourself!" he said

“I am far worst than any demon boy!” A ship sails up to him, I woman dress in a swim top and leather pants, a long dark coat draped on her shoulders, and a large hat on, one eye covered by a patch. “Give up you ship, or give up you life!”

"never you devilish heathen" he said, drawing his blade

She jumps down to his ship, pulling out her own curved sword. “Good, I been wanting a challenge.” She moves in, clashing blades with him.

he swings back, taking a blow by blow, being quite the swordsman

She party’s a blow spring in close to him. “Your rather good, perhaps I have a place on my crew for you.” She sways on him, laughing. “What do you say you ditch the heavy armor, and take up the pirate’s code?”

"I was to say the same to you, throw that aside and come aboard as my squire" he said, swinging back "a fair lady such as yourself should not be dealing in such vile acts on the open sea"

“But such vile acts are fun.” She said blocking his blows. “I am truly free!” She backs away. “Farewell Knight.”
The shark comes up out of the water to bite him.

he takes the sword, blade in hand using it to knock the shark back at the sea 
"Free and alone" he said "you lack purpose, you lack direction" he said "you are a maiden with so much more" he said "yet here I am, clashing blades with your beast" he said

She lowers her blade. “Then what would you have me do?”

"a knight's fealty is to the royals" he said "a mercenary's fealty is to the coin" he said "....your fealty should be to yourself" he said "....make the best you you can be" he said

She smiles lightly. “You really think that about me?” She aske getting closer.

"I do" he said looking at her "even the best of us find ourselves fallen, it just means we have to get back up and move forward"

She smiles, and then headbuts him, knocking him into the Water, the shark biting him and trying to drag him away.

"teeth off me you foul beast!" he said, swimming away from it, holding onto the rope from the side of the boat "you may be strong, but I can out think you!" he said, using the rope to try and make the shark headbutt the boat's side

The shark rams into the side of the boat, the pirate loosing her balance, falling overboard.

In a moments notice, he reaches over, grabbing her to stop her from falling in

She looks at him, the shark trashing about, ready to tear into who ever fell over board. “Thank you.” She said, her guard completely gone.” She quickly gets away from him. “Don’t think this changes anything.” She shouted at him, quickly climbing onto her ship. “We will met again, and next time, I will wi!” She sails away.

He climbs aboard his "....and one day, you will be a knight of your very own cord" he said

He eventually comes to shore at a unbelievable thinks and massive forest. He sees a path before him that leads to a tavern.

He makes his way to the tavern, exhausted

The bar keep looks at him. “Room and food for the traveler?”

".....I be looking for some information" he said taking a seat "though if that's what I need to get you to talk sure" he said

“You can’t save a princess on an empty stomach.” He told him setting out food for him. “So, need directions?”

"Absolutely fine sir" he said
