High above the endless forest that was the planet, a ship flew though the air, powered by magic.  It traveled a world reclaimed by nature, humanity having lost it's hold on it due to attacks by demonic creatures.<br/><br/>Some took to mountain based shelters, ruled by the Church. Safe but controlled, freedom being sacrificed for life. Others took to the skies, using magic to keep their freedom. They were called pirates, shunned by most. And the pirates on this ship would turn out to be more important than most.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Two girls sat at a table in the crew bar, both looking to be in their early twenties. One was white skinned, with short red hair tied into a pony tail, bangs covering her brown eyes. She was wearing a simple white dress with a small blue denim jacket over it, with some sandals. Casual clothes for a casual day. She had a soft face and gentle features, with the exception of her eyes, which were tired and weary looking, forming a stark contrast with the rest of her face, AND her rather small and lithe body.<br/><br/>The other one was dark skinned, with long braided black hair and bright green eyes. Unlike her friend's face, her's was rough and hard, scarred up and tough looking, with an eyepatch over her left eye. She was medium sized, with well toned muscles that were shown off by a sleeveless red shirt with black trims . The rest of her outfit was finished off by simple blue jeans and white sneakers.<br/><br/>The two were playing a simple card game, a small distraction to past the time until they were needed. Nether of them were really paying attention to it, however. Both of them kept looking to the sides, the read head sighing as the black haired let out a small chuckle.<br/><br/>"How long have you noticed him, Grace?" The black haired one said, drawing another card, shaking her head.<br/><br/>"Pretty sure since he came in. What<span style="font-style: italic">I</span>want to know if it he notices that we know he's here?" The red head answered, tired of pretending.<br/><br/>"Let's ask! Hey, boy-o, you know we know you're here yet?"
