Bella #1
Bella found out by accident only a few days ago, when she worked as a waiter in a small inn to earn some money, so she could continue on her journey. There she overheard a young marine officer who was boasting to two ladies how he single-handedly captured a dangerous criminal, who fought his way through dozens, if not hundreds of other marines when they found him, smuggling some powerful weapon into the city. Only he was strong enough to face him and ultimately capture him. Or at least that was what he said. How surprised she was when she realized that his description of the criminal almost perfectly matched how she remembered her brother!
From that moment she made sure to be always near his table, carefully listening to all details. Thanks to that she learned, that her brother was held on a large prison ship, that was docking in local port. Bella wanted to rescue him, but the whole city was full of Marines and she knew that there was no chance, that they would be able to control such a large ship alone, so she came with a different plan. Ambush on an open sea. All the white-haired girl needed was a small, fast ship and crew. However that was the major issue. While finding a ship she could “borrow” was easy, she had no friends nor money to hire a people and so she had no other chance but to play it on being helpless girl and promise money her brother hopefully had. It was shameful tactic. One, that filled her with a self-disgust, but her brother was more important than her honor, more important than anything.
And so there she was. Fifteen years old girl, with a short white hair, wearing a gray shirt and long, black skirt, sitting in an inn of questionable reputation, with her trusted sword Albus next to her, accompanied by four losers. Two sailors that were so drunk, that she doubted if they even knew what they signed up to, one young man, hardly older than her, who was looking at her like a lost puppy that found it´s master and dangerous looking thug, with long scar across his face, who barely spoke a word since he arrived. This was total disaster! If no one else´ll come, what hope she had to really win against the marines and to save Eric?
