'Lord Wave?' Grimwing gave the unicorn a curious look before shrugging;’ Captain never did care much fer titles but oh well.’ A stand caught his eye and he gave it an eyeing. Shells of every color, shape and sheen hung form sliver threads, each with archaic runes carved into them. The sea pony manning them gazed forward with pupil less eyes. A shiver went down Grim’s spine. ‘A Deepwalker best move along.’ Anything one of these fanatics sold was bound to be trouble. Grimwing found their destination, listening to the rabble around them as he and Charter weaved through the crowds. A pair of gorgeous sea mares winked at him from the street side. The Pegasus grinned and tipped his hat at the mares, earning him a giggle form the pair. With a satisfied smirk and the possibility of some moonlit company squared in his future he opened the door to an old stone monolith.
Weapons hung from walls, fruit of all manners were stacked high in barrels, and antiquities were placed in a chaotic manner on the tables that were spread across the large arching room. Grimwing pulled his sack off his back and took a deep breath,” Oi Drachma ye crusty ole Sea ‘ag where ye be!?”
A crash echoed through the shop from one of the back rooms. ” Whoever that is better have a damn good reason for interrupting my nap.” The reply was from a surprisingly cultured and melodious voice. Then a forest green sea mare with a set of sky blue stripes running down her back walked, or rather stumbled out into the main room. Despite the dark circles that hung under her eyes and the ruinous state her mane was in she was quite easy on the eyes.
The smell of strong drink wafted into Grimwing’s nose. Grimwing shook his head but his smile never left his muzzle. When she saw the pegasus she groaned,” By the moon what in Tartarus do you want?”
“That’s quite the way to treat a potential customer.”
“Well this customer woke me up so don’t expect me to trot up and kiss your hooves.”
“Ye do realize its well past noon right lass?”
“What part of I don’t care will you never get,” she hissed and gingerly touched a hoof to her forehead,” Goddesses my head. That is the last time I drink two casks of Urchin wine.” That was when she noticed the other unicorn but this one didn’t look like the usual rabble that Grim associated himself with. [/i]He’s kinda cute too.’[/i] Drachma straightened out her mane with practiced ease and sidled up to Charter with the speed and poise of a fox. A seductive grin crossed her muzzle. “Well, well what have we here,” she purred, flicking his chin with a hoof and brushing the side of his face with a delicate fin,” What’s a handsome Nightmare like you doing in the company of a brute such as this?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Crashing pulled his bag over his shoulder and stood up. His wings twitched at his sides,” Land be th’ place sides I’m right starving’ fer some deer.” Unbidden a strand of saliva traveled down the alicorn’s chin at the prospect of a fresh kill, his mind starting to focus on that prospect alone.
Crashing’s ears perked, ready to receive the slightest rustle of leaves or breathe of another beast. His eyes scanned the brush as he temporarily forgot Thea was even there, his hunger so great primal need was beginning to take over. A slight movement in bush caught Crashing’s attention and a low guttural rumble echoed from his throat. The alicorn crouched; his lips curling back to reveal ready razor sharp teeth. A single bright green eye focused on Thea and his voice came out a hiss,” Well lass shall we?”

Nice moments there, especially with Thea. Very cool :)
Thank you :).
AND I LIVE!!!!!!! Just posted for the first time in I think a couple of days. Anyway enjoy if you please.
Crashing Wave listened intently to his sibling; he had a feeling that she had suffered a blow to her pride by someone close to her, one of their kin perhaps. He knew she was strong, stronger than most if he had to be honest and in some ways than he but she regarded the words of their kin very highly.
Once she finished he chuckled lightly,” As I recall lass more often than not ye were more impaired than I.” His voice softened,” But I get what ye comin’ form. “He looked out at the water.” An’ ye ain’t a tease that’s fer sure. Take it from th’ one who coined th’ term brutally ‘onest, well save fer th’ Spirit o’ Truth, “Crashing grimaced, “Right cruel bastard if ye ask me but none th’ less ye ain’t a tease.” He craned his neck so he looked right into Thea’s eyes. “Ye just see what ye like an’ go fer it. That’s yer nature lass plain an’ simple an’ if’n anyone ‘as a problem with it,” he unsheathed a scimitar,” I’ll give em what fer.”
He sheathed his blade and tightened his wing around the lithe alicorn,” Now then lass what say we ‘ave a ‘unt fer ole time’s sake aye?”

Grimwing laughed followed shortly by the other pirates,” That’s alright mate. Ye caught on right enough.” He gave the unicorn a playful jab in the ribs,” Though we did ‘ave ta spell it out fer ye.” He hoisted a sack onto his back,” Come one th’ market awaits let’s see what we can get fer these ‘ere trinkets.” The Pegasus trotted forward with a grin on his face and a shanty humming in his throat.
’Quite the mess,’ Astral carefully walked across the stained rug of the old house he had been able to track down. The house looked as though somepony had ransacked it several times. Glass shards littered the floor and what looked to be blood satins marked the white wood walls and tarnished mahogany floor. This had once been a beautiful and cared for home now it was a din for rats and other vermin.
The cyan unicorn made his way up the old stairs and quickly located the master bedroom. It looked the same as the rest of the house, ransacked and possibly looted. Astral lit his horn up and closed his eyes, searching for anything out of the ordinary. With a snort he stopped his astral eye spell. He more than likely left in a hurry,’ Astral’s expression became pensive. Then he noticed something shine in the corner. Curious he walked toward it, noticing that the corner of the rug was pealed back slightly. Astral pulled it back, revealing a safe what looked to be made of a shining metal.
He put a hoof on but recoiled when it seared his flesh,’Bloody hell.’ Despite the pain, he smirked,’Clever old friend.’. His horn lit up as he worked to unlock the box. It held no lock, nor a handle. This safe would only open to a series of spells. After a moment of focus there was a click and the door popped open. Inside a small notebook sat. With all the caution in the world Astral picked the notebook up, inside was a jumble of letters and numbers. To a plebian this would make no sense but to a trained eye it made perfect sense. Astral snapped the book shut and made his way to the door. He had a code to decipher.

Sorry it took me so long to post something. Life likes to play rough.
Alexander held his gut with one arm and bit down on his other arm to keep from bursting out laughing. [i]’Oh lord this is priceless.’[i] He had heard that Japanese schools, particularly this one, were different from any other school he had attended but he hadn’t been prepared for this. Some students arou8nd him glanced his way but he paid them no mind as the School Council president walked off the stage. After a moment he got himself under control and wiped a tear away. Alexander grinned,” This is certainly going to be an interesting year.”
Yeah Crashing's reply will be difficult as well. Starting to work on it now actually.
I liked it. Good post. Thumbs up.
