It had been a gift from her weapons master. The very same she had conned into teaching her how to use one in the first place while at the palace. It didn't help she had also convinced him to teach her a bow and arrow, but well that didn't go as well, and she had to convert to a crossbow instead. Still, she had survived on her own for quite a while. The last few months of the year she had run away had even been peaceful. Not having encountered anyone for weeks, it was just the way she liked it.<br/><br/>Perhaps that was why she was in the current situation. She had become too relaxed. The asshats at stolen upon her like the dirty thieves they were while she was getting ready to prepare herself a small rabbit for dinner. Which they had also carelessly stomped all over. The threats of going after her body and having their way with her caused her to groan in an annoyed fashion.<br/><br/>So they wanted to plow her belly... and blah blah blah... Is that truly ALL that males ever thought about? How to get their fleshy organs buried into something? It was a wonder they survived at all, no room for food when there was something to stick that little fleshy bit into. Apparently it didn't even matter what that was to them. So long at they got to grunt like idiots. No thank you, she would make sure they were all clipped properly before they touched her.<br/><br/>Towards that end, she dived in with her blade and swung it out, catching one guy off guard, while another slipped in behind her and dealt her a blow that rendered her unable to resist the call of blackness that swept over her.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>It wasn't until an hour later she woke up in a cage and groaned. The guy with the sore anatomy was holding on to his assets with injured pride and spit at her a bit. The other guy laughed and smacked him in the back of the head. "How many times a gotta tells ya to watch for the pointy end of the sword Herman? She t'werent no dummy, though she's inexperienced. Ya can tell from the way she didn't move into an area where she had a bit of room to move, but somethin' solid at keep her from bein' snuck up on from behind. Heh, I would say she was a fine lady if.. Herman, get inta that bag, I think I jus' 'membered somethin' about a lady a palace was a lookin fer."<br/><br/>Words that sent a chill down Aladia's back. She had be found out. Gods be damned, she didn't want to go back to the palace and be married off to some bastard like as not to hit her for smiling at the wrong time! She shifted and eyed the men as they compared her to the wanted poster. As it was a pretty good likeness she knew that she was well and truly caught. She looked more bored than anything as they waited for the rest of the crew to arrive.<br/><br/>It took them a few hours.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>When the hunters got back they brought a naked man with them. He wasn't hard on the eyes by any means, but she simply shifted her eyes to stare at the Chieftain as he came to the realization he couldn't have his way with her. The groans from the men caused her smile brightly as she laid back in the cage with her hands behind her head. Then he decided to come over to sneer and threaten her. She rolled her eyes at him and contemplated telling them precisely where they could stick their shriveled manhoods so they would fall off, when she heard the other man groan.<br/><br/>They had mentioned something about a dragon. He certainly looked more fine than an ordinary man, perhaps she could use this to her advantage.<br/><br/>"Oh fine fine, I promise not to cut off all your collective man bits, well, except for Herman there, but the other guy was right, he -really- should have watched for the pointy end of my sword. Oh, and not run away, blah blah blah..."  She said and then looked at them all with an arched brow as they all had a collective shocked look that she wasn't shivering in her well used boots.<br/><br/>"What? Do you idiots really think I made it a year outside of a castle without getting captured because I was some helpless, clueless damsel in distress? Oh... oh my gods, how precious! You really did!"  She stated and then began to laugh, a fully belly laugh that went on for several minutes. Finally she stopped and arched a brow at the leader again. "Well, you have "threatened" me into a promise. Keep your end of it you smelly bastard. I am not going to be amused if you make me pick the lock. Mmmm, and let me keep the beast. He looks of fine quality. Perhaps I will convince my parents to let me keep him and pay you double your efforts for bringing back his head."<br/><br/>She waited some more, then let out a breathy sigh. "Or keep me locked up, whichever is more convenient. But the offer on the dragon stands. Oh, make sure you clothe and feed him as well. He looks like he is in need of something to snack on. "
