Soon, it would be turning into the rapids that devoured anything that got caught, just to throw it overboard in a deathly plunge. He was used to all manner of deathly lands. He was, after all, a death defying pirate. Many wanted to kill him, or tried, but he escaped each time. Barely. He had many scars to show for each escaped battle, though he continued to acquire more each time he pillaged bigger and better things. His most recent target, the now unguarded and disbanded land of Amenti. Now THAT was a great haul! Now, he had in his pack some smaller trinkets that he took from some unsuspecting rogues, and was on his way back towards the Eastern part of Alacritis to store them away. But first, a shortcut down the cliff side of this area. In case any pursuers were to follow, he'd lose them going down near the falls.

The closer he got, however, he noticed something. No...someone. Tilting his head slightly, he straightened his body and slowly approached the stranger. Stopping a few yards away atop a boulder jutting out over the water. "OI! What're you doing here? Don't you know that it could be dangerous here boy? Especially when there are pirates about.
