ethuveraz:Maia knew the prelude to a brawl when he saw one, but if their tempers were short with the weight of their stress, his was shorter. Almost without thinking, he dropped a hand to the holster at his hip. The yelling rose to a rapid pinnacle, and as the men laid hands upon those they had immediately labeled traitors to crew and cause, Maia raised his arm above his head and fired. The crack of the shot brought all to a standstill, and as one, the crew looked to him—his expression dark as the pistol smoked at the top of his arm.“If ever there was a time for feuding, now is most certainly not it,” he said. “Calm yourselves, for if we are indeed about to die, I would prefer we die as brothers.”He was met with silence, and watched beadily until the hands fisted in Pinter’s vest released, and the men allowed him and his other yea voters space. Maia thought with a horrible clarity of mind that he wished he had noticed when they had begun to listen to him; it would have been nice to know he was respected before the hour of his demise.“Show of hands,” he said again, weighting each syllable with intent. “All opposed to accepting the pardons.”Thirty-one of thirty-six hands rose in nearly perfect synchronicity, and the hot air left them all as reality descended upon them.“The vote carries,” Maia said with finality. “We fight.”END OF CHAPTER ONE(to say im having too much fun would be a huge understatement) ID: a painting of maia drazhar as a pirate. he stands on the deck of a ship, the helm at his side. it is night, and there are stars and moonlit clouds in the sky. maia is a young, thin goblin-elf with gray skin, freckles, and long, dark hair. he has a long, downturned nose and gray eyes. his hair is pulled half-up in a bun, the rest down. he is wearing a white shirt, an open rust patterned vest, a loose red necktie, and breeches. he has three iron rings in each of his ears. he’s holding a smoking gun above his head, and his expression is stern. end ID. -- source link
