"... For a moment I paused looking at some of them who were sitting right across me on the deck. They looked like children with beards. Their fists laid under the chins and with wide eyes staring at me. I was the same as a Nan to them, somehow! And it made me smile. But I was still mad at them. My heart would not get soft with them, not this soon.
To hear a story they caused me much pain and trouble. Anyway, to take my revenge I didn't choose a detailed story, making their mind full of questions was a very perfect punishment. Since they had them in mind couldn't sleep well for a while! The demon within me shouted to tease them and intensively I obeyed with a smirk. Being cruel to them what they had done to us. It was then at least I could do.
That breathtaking privateer pirate made my heart beats race. He leaned at the raft. Those glittering eyes were so familiar. But the irritating scratch on my neck swept it away.
"Why don't you start lady Asaya?" One of the young ones who seemed to be more excited growled. I was surprised when he called my name, but obviously, they asked the merchants by menacing them, I took a deep breath and frown at that boss-like creature who was sneering the whole time. It sounded he was enjoying to see me freaked! It was the first time that I lost my confidence for a cliffhanger start and I had to start like:
"Once upon a time, in Parthia dynasty; a brave and sober knight was living called Soren. He had the power of 100 men. A young good-looking gentleman. All women of all lands dreamed of being his bride.
Everybody among the earth and the heavens loved him truly. Rumors were saying that he was from Immortal kinds or may even be their prince who stepped on their realm. Besides all his intelligence, being humble was something every person was talking about. All dynasties were afraid of hearing his name, but he had so many enemies who wanted to cut his head off. Yes, being famous doesn't bring safety anymore.
One day of spring, he was walking alone in a beautiful green jungle, wearing a long white robe with golden embroidery of ivies passing along the edges; the canaries were flying by his side singing for him, challenging each other to catch his attention. The sun was attracting his favor of eyes, using its wonderful splendor. He was calmly moving toward the stream when a splendid voice distracted him. He got closer but couldn't go further at all and stood behind a tree. Looking at the most stunning creature he had ever seen.
A gorgeous girl, just like you heard in fairy tales. She was swimming in the fountain singing for a butterfly on her hand and was whirling around, drawing a circle on the water surface with her other hand. Her blue eyes were just like Gems made of the ocean's, truly like clean water of northern shore, brightening the dark.
Soren asked himself, "What are you doing man? You're a noble and she is a naked lady unaware of you!"...

In this part, I memorized the night I met Mr. Weirdo and made me smile then abruptly my eyes met that pirate boss. I noticed that he studied my mind because of that grin and the shine on his teeth! Didn't he get a very thoughtful feature unlike being a thieve?
I swallowed and kept on the rest and just wanted to finish it and get out of that ship in the eastern harbor. And didn't trust that scary pirate words at the moment! Yes, smart people are dangerous because they can find out what's going on in your mind very easily and you can't deceive them, anyway, they keep being quiet till you don't expect it, then they'll use it against you! Or to please you and I may not be as intelligent as him. Confessing about this isn't nice. I hate it, but I'm not alone, there are many people just like me.
I continued while watching them carefully to see their reaction.
"...Soren closed his eyes quickly and turned back to take his leave. A man of pride and honor wouldn't do that. But when he opened his gaze, amazed and couldn't believe what he saw across his sight. An angry woman with her green silky dress attacked him with a dagger in hand. Her body was still wet and the dress glued on her private parts.
She pounded him to the ground and put her right knee on his chest and placed the sharp silver dagger on his neck vein, exactly under his jawline where she could feel his pulse under her cold pale finger. She drew her face near to his.
She narrowed her brows! No, the beats didn't race! Was he a man of battlefields or had a cold heart of demons? She marveled but didn't allow her thoughts to touch her emotions.
Water was dropping down on his face from the girl's hair. He smiled unintentionally. The girl was red-tempered and growled, "Are you making fun of me, how dare you, worthless mortal human?"
Soren smiled naughtily and responded the way to force her to speak more or to see if she attempted to kill him, "So, you are not a human, princess."
The girl looked at him with widening circled eyes and said shockingly, "How do you know who am I?"
Soren raised his eyebrows, even a thick skull one could notice that she is not a regular girl, singing an epic song to narrate the history of men battling to save their lands, that poem wasn't one of those that every girl rather! A normal one would sing of love and romance, of course not all.
"I don't know who you are, but I know that you have the face of princesses." He passed her excuse, a smart one who never explains the true reason nor belies.
The girl clenched her teeth out of anger, pressed the dagger, and left a scratch then muttered, "Tell me your name. I want to know your name before killing you, the rude man!"
Soren shook his body a little, "Wow, you're so powerful. Anyways, I'm Soren of Parthia."
Then he took the girl's dagger with a quick move without hurting her at all. Suddenly the beautiful princess jumped back like wind made a soft light leaf flew up and, then landed smoothly on earth, "I know you. I've heard of your name and fame before." She said.
The girl was calm now and added, "I am Raya, the Fay princess of Immortals. So how come a man like you, that I used to praise turned out to be a pervert?"
This time, Soren was shocked and stood still. He could not believe that he is talking to the fay's princess so replied, "Here is the place I come to relax when I gain some free time, even the birds here know me well"…
**
Then it was time to leave these pirates high and dry. Since they behaved me disrespectfully, thus didn't deserve to hear more details that those skewed headed were waiting for. While you expect something good from someone at least you can be grateful and keep your honor in a higher state. So I mentioned while being still cruel!
"...Days passed and they fell in love, Raya decided to show him a pet that belonged to her, which was a white rare griffin and they sometimes flew over the skies together, to the floating islands of Immortal fays in the sky. She changed his rough life. Then he could sense the warmth of heart and hand instead of cold frozen metals and chains in his hand. But karma or bad intentions had other desires for them…"
****
Asana wondered, never thought that she may narrate them a story.
"If I were you I would rather get eaten by sharks and never let those ass**les listen to my story after pouring out my blood and they harmed you? I'll find them", her face already got red, and clenched her fist. She was blaming Asaya for being soft towards them.
