Love in the East (pfroggy & Love Dove)

A ship hits the shore of India on a fine summer morning, the soldier a 16 year old British man by the name of James is told by his higher up, "We'll set up here, I want you to go explore this new land and see who or what lives here." James salutes his higher up and starts wandering into the forests of India. James was pretty nervous, he was a new recruit to the British navy and this was his first trip. He had grown up an ok life, his father was a merchant and his mother was a seamstress. Life was good for him until he was 13. When he was 13 his father contracted a horrible disease and he died. Leaving him to care for his mother and 3 brothers. Then like his father, his mother contracted the same disease and died. Then since he was of the age of a man he was shipped to the navy and his brothers sent to boarding school.

As James walked, he swore he could hear voices all around him. Slowly he raises his musket and shouts, "Whose there" every now and then, but when he does so the voices go silent and he keeps walking thinking he's crazy. Then after awhile of not hearing any voices he sets his musket away and just walks, but as he walks he sees three dark skinned men jump on him. They take everything: his food, his weapons, and his clothes. They then leave him on the dirt floor of the forest, naked and unconscious. They then escape quickly with their loot and leave him to die in this new world. "I gotta warn my commrads, but I can't move I'm going to die" James thinks right before he passes out.

Here's the thread.

James lays passed out in the dirt as the daylight hours go on. His body is slowly slowing down and he might die soon. James regains consciousness once and awhile, only to have bandits come by and knock him out and steal any other items the previous bandits have left. Finally, after being knocked out for the 10th time that day, the sun starts setting and James keeps trying to regain consciousness, but he can't due to his mugging that lasted all day.

I'll bump this.

I'll wait after this bump.

Princess Charvi had always been known as not only the oldest but also the kindest of the kings two daughters. She had been at the market all day as she had many things to buy. Always being a fan of nature she decided to take the scenic rout telling the driver of her caravan to go though the forest on the way back to the castle. Half way though the forest she saw James laying naked in the dirt. Afraid he would died from the cold she had her guards put him in caravan, covering him up with a blanket as they rode back to the castle.

There she had him put in her bedroom so she could make sure he would make it though the night.

James slowly starts waking up. "Where am I" he thinks. He then sees the room and smells the incense in the air. "Damn, they probably captured me" he thinks. He then sees he's naked and laying in a bed. "What now, do other have sex with me as I slept" James thinks. He then stares at the ceiling and looks at the exquisite patterns of the palace. His eyes travelled to the big doors and the rest of the room. He then rests his head back and pushes the hair out of his face. In the back of his mind, behind all the thoughts of pleasure he thinks about his comrades. "My men, what do they think happened to me" James thinks. He then yawns and thinks, "Who cares? I'll think later." He then closes his eyes and relaxes in the smooth silk bed.

(also I like descriptions)

Chariv had argued with her farther about letting James stay in the castle, until he was better. He didn't trust him though after hours arguing, he told her that he would be aloud to stay. She walked into the room quietly closing the chestnut wooden door behide her. She placed a bowl full of green grapes on the table in the middle of room. Sitting some clothes for James onto the edge of dark red silk sheets of the bed. Before opening the large window letting in the cool morning breeze blow into the room. She in the chair by the bed starting to put a cool dump rag on his head.

"Thanks" he says sitting up. He then stares at her, "Where am I and who are you" James asks. Then James starts feeling the breeze on his body. As he does this he wonders about his crew again. He then stares at the woman and admires her features and what she is wearing. He then says, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am James deckhand for his magesty's royal navy" he says. Then he starts to stand up and get more of a better view of the room.

Chariv jumped a little as he sat up not even knowing that he was awake. "I am Princess Charvi, and you are in my family's castle. My bedroom to be exact." She said smiling nervously as he continued to stare at her. "It's nice to meet you James, I'm afraid I'm not sure which magesty's royal navy you speak of. Though I found you laying naked in the dirt, in the middle of the forest" she said looking up at him, admiring him, as he looked around her room. "I do hope the clothes fit you, as I didn't know your size" she said looking at the blue silk shirt and black pants on the edge of the bed. "You use my changing screen, if you wish" she added pointing at the large floral folding screen in the middle of the room.
