Moving through the world(travel)

[Kalin666]

After wandering a while Deddo Meitei found a road he could follow, it was small and narrow, but it lead somewhere. Moving Along the road for a good five minutes, Deddo made it to a small village and decided to ask for directions. Stopping the first man he got to, Deddo asked the man if he knew a good place for a merc to get a job. With a smile the man took out a card and said Go east down the way you came from till you get to a small village on the ocean called 'Unabara'. Go to the captain or the ship 'Zetsumei' and give him this card." hands over card, "Just remember, don't ask him where your going till you get there." Excited, Deddo turned and took and couple steps before remembering to thank the man. Turning back around the street was empty. So, Deddo rushed down the way he came, hoping this was his ticket to a job.

After close to a hour of rushed travel, Deddo hadn't seen a single person or animal on his travels east. Then, to his surprize a caravan moved up behind him at a decent pace, knocking him flat on his face. Getting up Deddo was dazed as a woman in a brown robe came up to him and asked "Sorry if you were hurt, is there anything we can do for you?" Thinking a few seconds, Deddo asked "How far along this road are you going?" "To a little town called Unabara, why?" With a smile Deddo replied "Let me come with you and all our troubles will be behind us." Smiling back the woman gave him a yes and told him he would have to be in the back with the sheep. Just ready to get of his feet, Deddo quickly agreed and got on his new ride. Getting in the back of the wagon, Deddo took out the card he was giving, noticing it said "Free Trip." Putting the card back away, Deddo sat leaning against the side and went to sleep, hoping it would make the trip faster.

Waking up surronded but sheep, Deddo almost forgot where he was. After a few minutes of petting the sheep, the caravan came to an abrupt stop. Not sure of why it stopped or how long he had slept, Deddo carefully exited the wagon and was heading towards the front of caravan to ask what happened. Before he got there, Deddo noticed he was at the entrance of a small village with a sign saying "Unabara" and knew he was in luck. Rushing to the dockyard after thanking the woman and asking directions, Deddo found two ships still in. After checking the names on the side he was happy to see the Zetsumei was on of them. Seeing a man moving towards the Zetsumei, Deddo quickly moved to him and asked if he knew where the ship's captain was. The man answered "I am the captain." Overjoyed, Deddo handed the man the card. Seeing the card, the captain gave a deathly grin and said "Welcome aboard, you'll enjoy the trip, oh, and you first." Excited at the progress he made, Deddo moved towards the ship and was hit hard on the back of the head. Losing consciousness, Deddo heard an evil laugh before the blankness took over.

First Day-Morning

Waking up, Deddo had no clue where he was, or exactly where he was. Just looking, he first noticed that his hands and feet were in shackles, chained together(separately). Next, that he was in a small cell around three meters cubed, and that the entire room seemed to be moving together. After a few minutes of wondering what he was doning there, a door opened outside the cell and the captain from early walked in, waring an evil grin. Stopping in front of the cell, without even looking in said "Welcome to my ship. I hope the room we gave is good enough for your tastes, but with the debt you have for this trip, I don't think it matters. The way this will work for you is that you will stay chained. You will do any work we asign to you without a word or you will be beat, or worse. After the ship lands, you will be sold to the highest bidder to pay off the rest of your debts. After your breakfast arrives and you eat it, you start to work. Have a fun trip." With that, the captain left. Feeling this was the biggest mistake he's made so far, Deddo waited for his breakfast and hoped for the best.

Twenty Minutes later

After Deddo heard his stomache make a sound, breakfast finally arrived. It was slid in via a small opening at the bottom of the cell. Looking at it, Deddo wasn't sure if he was supposed to eat it or fight it. After a little thinking, he decided he should eat it, not knowing if he would get any more to eat that day. A few minutes later, a big man with a whip entered the room and moved right to Deddo's cell. This happened to be when Deddo noticed he was the only person in a cell. The man with the whip looked at Deddo and said "Hope your stronger then you look, or you might not last. Your first job will be to swop the deck."The man opens the cell, "And if you think your to good for it, expect a good beating." Deciding he had no other choice, Deddo followed the man up to the deck without a word. The work was simple, scrub for hours, and Deddo cept one thing in mind: Nothing in this world is free.

First Day-Noon

After two or three grueling hours of washing the deck, Deddo was sore and hungry. The captain yelled load enough for the whole ship to hear "Lunch!" Ready for the food, Deddo started to get up just to be kicked down by the man with the whip and told "You only get two meals a day, and if you try to get more again you'll be punished." With that, the man took out a sword and stabbed it through the chains in a way that the chains weren't damaged and Deddo was pinned to the deck of the ship. As the man walked away for his lunch, Deddo tried to get the blade out of the deck, but it was no use. He was stuck there till the man came back.

Thirty Minutes Later

Deddo was starting to feel thristy and wasn't sure if he want the man to come back. Whether he wanted it or not, the man came back with an evil grin and said "This is your lucky day, you've been upgraded to 'unworking status', but you have to get a present from the crew before hand." Lifting the sword from the deck, the man grabed Deddo's chains and brought him to the main deck where the entire crew was gathered. Deddo had a gut feeling that this was bad for him. The man preceded to lock the chains into the mast. After the man backed away Deddo heard a crew member shout "Two from each of us" Dreading what he could only guess was his 'gift' he heard another say "No, three from each of us." From the front of the group Deddo heard the man that had the whip ask "What do think, captain?" With an evil laugh, the captain replied "Five should be enough, he is new." Half a minute later Deddo knew what the gift was as the whip first hit his back. All Deddo could do is not let out a sound, just to try to tick off the captain. The pain was almost unbarable as Deddo could hear his own blood hit the deck. By the end of it, Deddo thought it was around 200 lashs before they took him to his cell and gave him food and water. After eating, Deddo went to sleep hoping his second day couldn't be as bad as the first.

Second Day-Morning

Waking up, Deddo was still in pain fro the whipping the day before and saw they already delivered his 'food'. Eating fast, He didn't know waht to expect. Would they put him back to work, or if another whipping would ocurre then he'd end up right back in the cell. To mix it up, A new face came to get Deddo, and had one message to say before they left for the deck, "Your backs already healing? We can fix that." Moving with the man back onto the deck, Deddo was being lead right back to the mast, for what looked liked another round of whipping. After locking his chains back on the mast, the man ripped off the vest Deddo had, an easy job after the whip tore through it the day before. Just before the bidding on how many whips he would get, Deddo heard a crew member yell "Ship on the horizon, looks pirate." Hearing this too, the captain shouted "You heard him, get ready to board! With that, the ship moved in a frenzy to be ready. In the choas, Deddo was left to stand, chained to the mast, while the crew readied for a fight.

Minutes later, the pirate ship had moved in close enough for boarding on both sides, and land could be seen on the horizon. Deddo, still chained to the mast, didn't knew who he wanted to win. The battle started with arrows from both side, five hitting the mast while Deddo barely dodged with the movement he had. After the barrages of arrows, both tried to board each other, leading to a fight that seemed to be over the water, not on the boats. After a couple quick minutes, the pirates were starting to win the fight. Boarding the ship, the pirates seemed to egnore Deddo and just focus on the crew. After just ten minutes of intense fighting, the captian laid dead on the deck, and the rest of the crew surrendered. After rigging the ship with explosives, the pirates final seemed to notice Deddo, just standing there chained. With a laugh, one of the pirates said "Guess you go down with the ship." They left without even helping Deddo or giving him a chance.

With the other ship out in the distance, Deddo thought he might just die on the ship. Then, to his horror, an explosion rocked the boat, followed by a couple more. Seeing the ship starting to sink, Deddo just knew he had met his end. Then, one final blast came from right under the mast, sending it falling like a tree that was just cut down. Deddo grasped the mast as it fell, busting up most of the ship and falling apart. Within minutes, Deddo was floating chained to a five foot section of the mast, luckly towards the land he saw in the distance, moving in with the tide.

Within the hour, the tide had brought Deddo to a new land. The section mast he was attached to had made its way on the beach, Deddo and all. His back burning from the salt water in the wounds, he had his newest problem, getting unchained. Now on a beach with no hazards, he had nowhere he could go. Ticked off at his luck, Deddo positioned himself to kick the mast just under where his hands where chained to it. Channeling his frustration, Deddo just kept kicking right under the chains. Eight, nine times, it seemed to be getting him nowhere. After around the twentith kick the wood connected to his chains broke off of the mast, giving Deddo freedom, sort-of. Smiling that at least he could move from the beach now, Deddo wandered off, hoping to find a place to take the chains off his hands and feet.
