Ruby eye Alice.

Ship after ship fell to Alice, she purposefully waved the flag of a nation, instead of a pirate flag, to lure in more pirates. What better way to become rich, than loot from pirates, who already did the pillaging for them. It went on for years, Alice fell pregnant with Eduardo's daugter, and they named her Luna. But Alice was so hooked on the riches, she barely focused on being a mother to her. Eduardo had no choice but to leave the crew, in order to care of Luna himself. Then came that one faithfull day, the black ship that appeared over the horizon was diffrent than the ones they encountered. It had Bloodeye's flag, but it was even bigger than a Galleon.

"Thats, a Man o war" her new firstmate Antonio said and she grabbed the scope from him, looking through she saw it had four decks of cannons, unlike her ship that has only two decks. The main sail was huge, black and sporting a white dragons head. The dragon imprint had a red eye, and suddenly Alice felt a chill up her spine.

"Thats him, thats Bloodeye"

"Are you sure!?" Antonio asked.

"Yes, everyone down below, when it lines up with our ship i want them to see only me" Alice said heading to her captain's quaters. The men went down below to man the cannons. Alice got into a beautiful maidens dress, and went to stand on top deck, she knew full well that ship will blow this one right out of the water should they engage in a battle, so she played possom.

As the large man o war came in next to her the crew on top started whistling at her, at the very far back, she saw him standing, a large man in a pirates captain hat, sporting an eyepatch.

"Please, help me! I know you're pirates, but i took a nap on this ship not too long ago, and when i woke up i was adrift, i dont know how to steer it, i will surely die here my food supply is low" She pretended, adapting her old normal accent was a little difficult now, but it worked. The men threw the grapple hooks and drew the ships against eachother,

but only Bloodeye jumped on deck. He slowly approached her smiling.

"Alice, of the red sea, pleasure to meet your aqentance" he said bowing with his hat in hand.

"Shoot, I've been figured out, be great to know the greatest pirate of the seas knows me name, just didn't know of the red sea part" She said dropping her act. The man replaced his hat.

"I must say, at first I didn't bother, a woman having taken one of my ships in the red sea, unheard of, i thought they were mocking me so i gave them all the plank. But one after another they came with the same story, and finally i couldn't let you slip any longer" he cleared his throat "You seem to forget how large the ocean is lass, you still havent left the red sea, and all the ships i sent here all reported back with the same story, now here i am, you have my attention"

She looked up at the giant ship next to them then smiled.

"Good je came when je did, this old hunk of wood was getting too small fer all the loot I stole from you, that ship on the other hand would make a great trophy for killin ya"

He smiled and drew his sword, Alice felt a strange vibe from it, it was very shiny, and very crome. The shine alone made her step back.

"You'll get that ship over my dead body, witch"

Alice ripped open the dress and revealed her pirate uniform underneath, then drew her own sword.

They went forward and clashed blades, she again felt an odd vibe from the sword he carried. Alice staggered back.

"Whats wrong? You are spoken to be this fierce swordfighter?" He asked smiling.

"That sword, something is wrong with it, its cursed"

"I assure you it isnt, its made of normal steel, but i had it coated in as shiny a silver layer i could add, its shine helps those i kill find the light alot quicker if ye know what i mean" He smiled eerily.

Alice came in again, clashed blades then staggered back. She tried as much as she could to ignore the sword, but then she realised the vibe in him, she felt that life force only once in her life, and that was Amour.

"You're, a dragon"

He frowned "My my, you figured that out just by fighting me?"

"I sense somethin diffrent about je, i met only one before"

"You know the name?"

"Amour"

He smiled "Amour Amour, a beautiful piece of work, she's one of the dragons who protect Atlantis, dont tread there Alice, the greatest of dragons protect that place.

Present

"A Glacierback?" Alex asked.

"I know, its clicheé, we among dragons don't have specific names we give eachother, its the humans who give us fancy names. In dragon terms we are both dragons of ice and water, i only taught myself to manipulate steel later on in my life, so i could forge swords"

"Are there other dragons?"

"Today only the strongest of dragons remain, the ones i know of personally are Plateos Dragone, a dragon of tungston and fire. His sister Jaicing Dragone, a dragon of diamond and fire, a dragon called Yaaru, dont know his surname but he could manipulate mercury, a very interesting one indeed. Then finally a young dragoness named Eltoria, a dragon of gold and fire"

"Tungston, diamond, mercury and gold, those are heavy, and dence elements, as for mercury... were they really able to wield them?" Alex said trying to imagine how mercury could be wielded.

"Yes, using their fire sub element, they could melt the metal they create around them with alchemy, i saw Plateos spew molten tungsten once, its a devistating sight. Because of the feud between the wolves they also dont trust anyone, and would attack anyone who approaches them"

Alex nodded "I would too, how did this feud start in the first place?"

"As i told you, dragons have raw earth elements, and for someone like Jaicing and Eltoria, this wasnt necessarily a good thing, Alice learned of their abillity to create gold and silver, so the dragons were naturally hunted, some captured for this"

Past

"How many of ye are there?" Alice asked.

"Alot, and my dear sweet, its one of the reasons i am such a successful pirate, you see, i am a dragon of silver, sure it doesnt have as much value as gold, but i can create an endless amount using alchemy"

"Alchemy?"

Bloodeye took a few bronse coins out, he closed his hand around it, when he opened it was silver. Alice was amazed, so many ideas ran through her head, so many possabilities of endless riches.

"Fascinating, where be all these dragons? Be there those who can make gold?" Alice asked smiling.

"Aye, there are, but im not going to tell you, ex Spanish captain, maybe if you can make me kneel, ill consider it, otherwise you'll just die today"

Alice looked at him closely, then at that sword, it annoyed her alot and she wanted it at the bottom of the ocean, so she decided to end this as quick as she can, so she could begin her search for those wealth bringing dragons.

Present

"Was it Alice who attacked the first dragon aswell?" Alex asked.

"Apparently so, she and her pack teamed up after a few years and attempted to capture one, but it had proven to be too much of a task, so they had to kill it"

"What type of dragon was it?"

"A diamondback, the fatal flaw that stared Alice in the face was even if there were some diamonds on the outer layer of the dead dragon's skin, she had no way to get it, since the dragon's skin was so tough she couldn't detatch it"

Alex frowned "It seems she was falsly sent to hunt these dragons, and not told the drawbacks?"

"Nicely deduced, in her search for all the riches in the world, she hoped dragons could give her an endless supply"

Past

Alice shook as she stood, the pain was beyond what she has ever felt. The sword tip in her right eye, but the feeling she got through the sword paralysed her.

"So you were just all bark and no bite" Bloodeye said holding his sword firmly horizontal, he allowed the tip only to go deep enough to stick through the eye and jab the bone in the rear of the eyesocket.

"B... Bastard" Alice murmured, she couldn't even lift her arms.

"I say? Should i kill you now? Or just leave an ugly scar on that very pretty face of yours?" Bloodeye drew down and out, the sword cut her eye further and slashed all the way down her face. Finally Alice dropped to the ground screaming, and Bloodeye laughed.

"So much for the uprising pirate captain. Now you know why the men you let go of all that ships didn't join you! there's no one on these oceans that can defeat me with a sword" He lifted the sword high and his men ontop the man o war cheered for him. Alice saw an opening as he had his back to her, but she didn't use her sword.

The men on his ship screamed to warn him, he turned around and defended with his sword, but all that hit his sword was water, the two snake like water streams swirled around him, he cut at it but to no avail, then the tips of these water streams froze into blades and like scissors cut Bloodeye by the neck, his head fell off and rolled to one side, the body crumbled to the deck. All the men on top was silent, Alice stood up and picked the silver sword in her hand.

"Huh? You say no one could beat you with a sword? Well no one can beat me wilst im on the ocean" she said and threw the sword overboard then looked up to the other ship, the men shook when they saw her blooded face, satisfied that none wanted to come avenge their captain she picked her own sword up and drove it through the heart of the body of Bloodeye.

"I dont know how to kill dragons, but i know how to kill what i am, so just to make sure ill destroy your heart aswell..." She grunted and twisted the sword, leaving it in the corpse she went to his head.

"Now, let's see what's behind this eyepatch" She knelt down and opened the patch, her face lit up, inside the eye socket was the biggest ruby she has ever seen, it literally filled the entire socket. With three fingers she jabbed in and tugged it out.

"This, belongs to me now" She said to herself, a sense of jelousy came over her, no matter what the value of this ruby was, and how much gold it would bring her, she wanted it to be with her at all times, no one should have it but her. Without really bothering with the pain she shoved her two fingers into her own blooded eye socket and dug out what was left of the burst eyeball, then stuck the ruby in, she took a few seconds to grunt from the pain, then went to her sword again.

"I, will be ruby eye Alice from now on, the one who defeated Bloodeye Jack!" She yelled and looked up at the men on the man o war, they all had worried expressions.

"Yall fuckers ar on me ship! Ye better have a good reason fer bein there!?" She yelled pointing her sword. The men looked at eachother but before they could look down, she had already scaled the wall of the man o war and landed behind them, they all gasped at this.

"Id be callin me crew to come help, but i dont need them now, ye have two choices landlovers, join me or die, ye precious Bloodeye isn't there to protect ye anymore, so thistime im not lettin any o je live!"

"Well join well join! Please have mercy!" The one yelled and all agreed.

"Good, i have a crew o twenty men down below, which means... twenty o je on this crew have to die" She smirked and started walking slowly, scanning the new ship.

"What do you mean?" One asked.

"Yell have to decide among yerselves who dies, all i say, is i want twenty dead before sunset, or ill toss the lot o ye to the sharks!"
