i wrote this one day when i had to figure out a background story for one of my characters for RP. there are spelling mistakes and possibly grammer problems so you don't need to point them out.

"turn that sail damnit! were losing wind!" a sailor yelled to one of his crew mates. the water was rough and slightly gusty, but the wind was unprodictable, sending the ship into several directions. "captain, the sail is set, we should now have a smooth sail to Lions arch!" the same sailor yelled. The captain stood, his gray black beard stood straight from his chin, "We sail for lions arch!" he yelled, the crew yelled praise in response "Hurray for captain Herold Bach!" Herold turned staring at the other members of the ship whom was standing by the decks main door into the belly of the beast. A young woman stood with several others, all of them looked rough, torn, and beaten. "you'll be free soon enough" Herold yelled at them "free to die in peace, for when we reach the center seas, we shove off the cargo" he said giving a slight tune, before laughing and entering past them into the ship. The first young woman looked pregnant, as two other ladies held her arms up as she stood. "they can't treat us like this!" one of the ladies said. "yes, but what are we to do?" the woman said. "we can't fight, and i'm far to pregnant to give up a fight" a man in scruffy clothes came up to them, she knodded at him but turned to the woman. The man walked up in front of her "are you alright Emily?" the woman looks at him "yes, but i can feel the baby kicking.. it won't be long Gordan!" Gordan looked at the ladies, "take her to the bed room, make sure she is untouched when the baby comes, and lock yourselves in the room!" the ladies nodded and helped Emily through the door. Gordan turned around gripping his knife on his belt. He walked to the center mass where another group of crew mates were standing, he looked at them all and stared "we ready?" the crew nodded in ready agreement and held swords and knifes of there own. They then split up to there own buisness and waited. Several hours later, Captain Herold came back through the door and held his cane with his right hand. "make ready the cargo!" The group of crew mates who had met earlier walked up to their captain. "you make ready your own cargo!" wielding there weapons, they stood standing, now engolfed by other crew members with there weapons in hand Captain Herold stood standing "you dare bring mutany to my ship!?, throw them over with the rest of the cargo!" he yelled to his other crew members, he then turned around and walked to the wheel at the end of the ship.

With a long pause both groups stared at each other, until they yelled and ran at each other swinging there blades. As the fight broke out, inside the ship, Emily and the two ladies were having a fight of there own, Emily was now in fighting to give birth to her baby, having only the two younger ladies to comfert her, she fought to remain alive. "die you traitor!" a crew member yelled swinging his scimitar at Gordan, with a quick block Gordan used his long Knife to strike upwards into the mans stomach, then kicking him towards the edge of the ship. "no!, you die, you Pirate!" running forward he kicked the man mid stomach sending him over the edge and into the water. Gordan stood watching the rest of the fighters, but froze when he saw his brother standing on the ledge of the second level of the boat. the two men stared at each other, then continued to move. Gordan made his way over to his brother "Leo!, We must get the others off the boat!" Leo turned his eyes to the other end of the boat. "there!" he pointed, there in view was a small wooden row boat with a keg of ale on it and other junk. "we can use that to get them off this wreck!, go get them, me and the others will defend you!" Gordan nodded his head then ran to the main door, busting through he went down the wooded stairs to a hallway.

He heard screaming from one of the rooms, as he went to the door, he noticed the door was locked, "Emily!" he yelled, he could then hear shufflling in the room, and then a baby crying. "Emily, are you alright!?" he banged on the door, "let me in!" the door swung open as one of the younger ladies unlocked it. Gordan flew into the room and went to the bed, "are you alright?" he knelt down next to her "shes ok" Emily said, holding a still crying baby in her hands, "its a girl Gordan!, your a father of a girl!" she continued. Gordan stood then and looked at the baby, the childs eyes still wet from crying looked at him, for several moments they stared at each other, locked eye to eye. until the door again swung open with a slam, in the doorway stood Captain Herold "You bastered!" Gordan stood up holding his knife "how dare you treat her like dirt!" he ran forward swinging his arm around to strike Herold. "you are a fool!" Herold yelled pulling up his scimitar, they both swung, but Gordan was shorter giving him an advantage, he went low, missing the scimitar, and thrusted his shoulder into the catains gut, causing both of them to fall backwards into the hallway. Gordan pulled his knife up and held it at Herolds neck, he then yelled "Emily there is a boat waiting for you outside, take the baby and get off this boat!" the two younger ladies helped Emily get up off the bed and out of the room onto the stairs. Out of another room came two other men, holding katanas both men ran at Gordan. He was overpowered and was struck with there weapons, with his last breath he could see only darkness.

Coming out through the door the ladies could see the crew outside still fighting, as they walked out into the sunlight two of the crew mates jumped them, the younger ladies flew in front of Emily holding her child and started to wrestle with the other two, "move Emily, get to the boat" one of them yelled. Emily ran across the boat, Leo jumped down next to her from the above plank, "this way Emily, to the boat, it is ready!" a crew mate at yet again jumped them, he pushed Leo down into a gutter on the boat filled with nets. "where do you think your going" the man yelled grabbing Emily's arm, he shoved her over, she held her baby and used her body to break there fall, the baby started screaming with cries. Leo made his way up the stairs and held his sword, "get your hands off of her!" he swung striking the man in the arm, the man turned and held a dagger in his hand. As they stared at each other, Emily got up and ran to the boat, she set down the child in a small basket and turned, she saw Leo and the other man standing at stance. Emily got up and found a wooden barrel on the ground, and threw it at the man with the dagger. It hit him knocking him over at that moment Leo thrusted his sword into the mans gut. The man fell to the ground and Leo ran up to Emily "thank you" he said as he pushed the boat over to the side, "we can use the ropes to put the boat into the water" he grabbed the rope next to him and stood, "get in!" Emily climbed into the boat. The wooden boat swung around half off the edge. "stop right there!" Leo turned his head and stood staring at Captain Herold standing a few yards away "put that boat down and you'll suffer for it!" Leo gripped the rope tightly "try me!" he then started pulling the rope which sent the boat over the edge. Herold ran up and threw his shoulder into Leo, but he tripped and fell to the side, he grabbed the side of the boat instead which sent the boat swinging around, it spun around and hit the side of the boat, which sent Emily flying back onto the ship, and Leo yelled " Emily!" but he wasn't paying attention to the rope, as the boat swung the rope pulled, knocking Leo onto the Row boat. but since there was nothing to stop the rope, the small boat flew off the ledge and into the water. The waves flew over the small boat and sent it yards away from the ship. "Emily!" Leo yelled, but he could only see Herold grab Emily by the hair and stood her up, holding his sword next to her throat, he pulled, killing her. Leo watched in horror as Herold killed Emily, but there was nothing he could do, he then heard crying, he turned and stared at the baby whom was still in the basket. He sat down and started to row, trying to get as far away from the ship as he could.

Reaching the land he got out, and picked up the basket. "your all alone now little one" he stared at the childs face "your mother was a brave woman" he stood holding the basket, he sighed then thought for a moments time, then agreed to himself that the child was now his duty. "lets go home little one, or what your mother had told me when you were still in her, "i've always wanted a child Leo, boy or a girl, but if i have a boy, i want him named Korain, if a girl, i want her named Johana"", He laughed to himself "shall we go Johana?" looking at the child now giving a slight smile to him.
