An assassination on an island that was controlled by a completely hostile faction. The belly of the beast. Normally. She'd go out of her way and avoid places like the bloody providence at all costs. But the pay was dapn good. And she would grudgingly agree with herself that she needed the pay.

And all went well. At nightfall with a small boat, covered by a blue blanket. The assassination after two days on the island also went flawless. She was able to easily move through the cover of heavy rain and loud thunder. A throat quickly slith. She just had to get off of the island. Wich seemed harder than she initially thought.

Since she failed to be swift enough. Her small boat was destroyed and she was stuck on the island. Her shadowwalk was out of the question aswell, she needed too much time to prepare it to cross the mass of water. It was a true witch hunt.

And on the third day, in the aftermath of the storm, Usagi was found out. After a quick skirmish yielding several dead pirates and a lightly wounded Usagi, she made a break for it.

The course of the past days went through her head again as she inched closer to the edge of the cliff. Where did she go wrong? Taking the job? Not using poison? Being too slow? Having not prepared her shadowwalk properly? Her heel slowly inched over the edge as she stopped, the band of pirates drawing closer. This was bad. Dzath would only ne a comfort if she was caught by them, that was for sure.

So. Rather death than imprisonment. She flicked a knife from her belt and threw it forward at one of the pirates, piercing his skull as she turned around and made a dive for the water, accompanied by a hail of bullets, one hitting her shoulder, another at her left calf.

She dove in the water and immediatly sunk to the bottom with a trail of crimson accompanying her. If it wasn't the sharks, it would be drowning. She couldn't helo but smirk faintly as she sunk into the depths. What a shitty way to go.

Morgana was rather peeved by the sudden intrusion into her peace and quiet. There she was, minding her own business looking for a snack along the seafloor, and suddenly the surface of the water seemed to shatter far above her head. Growling, she snapped her head back to have a look, eyes narrowed and nostrils flaring as she caught a familiar scent.

Blood in the water.

The siren smirked and gave a flick of her tail, sending her closer to investigate the dark shape that was now sinking through the waves above her head.

A human. A female human. Hm. Usually not as tasty as the males, but she supposed she would do in a pinch. Wrapping her arms under the humans, Morgana gave a few powerful strokes of her tail to send them in a diagonal path away from the dark shadow of the ship and toward the surface.

Wouldn't do to have her prey too water logged.

Medievarad

Hands tugged at her armpits, causing Usagi to cry out in pain as more blood ran from the wound in her shoulder. There was someone rescuing her? Or were it the pirates deciding they weren't done with her? The latter couldn't possibly happen. Habing jumped off the cliff was a death sentence.

And yet her saviour pulled her up to the surface. It hurt like hell, the water in her wounds. She let out another burbled cry of pain as she was tugged around.

DragonSong

Morgana tisked as her head broke the surface, casting an irritated glance at the girl she towed along. "Stop that wailing. It's quite annoying, you know."

Medievarad

With a deep breath, followed by loud coughing, Usagi was pulled up the surface. "Who-?" She askedd as she coughed more, coughing up some water, groaning in pain still at her shoulder.

DragonSong

"Hush, hush," the mermaid soothed, her tone suddenly warm and comforting. It was possible this human didn't know what she was, what danger she posed.

Intriguing. "I'm...a friend. Just breathe."

Medievarad

The voi e suddenly turned soft. And friendly. While Usagi was wary, in this distressed state of mind, she identified the voice and its owner as friendly. She weakly nodded and closed her eyes. Slowly breating, trying to ignore the pain.

DragonSong

"Mmm..." Morgana looked at her captive, considering. "You'll probably want to get out of the water, huh?" She slowly leaned back and gave a few shallow strokes of her tail, drifting them in the direction of a rocky outcropping she knew of that jutted from a nearby island. Probably where the girl had come from, now that she thought of it.

Medievarad

Usagi nodded slowly at the question of getting out of the water. With another soft and pained gasp her eyes fluttered open again. It seemed like she really wasn't dead. She bit down on the stitched part of her lip, drawing a bit of blood. The pain in her shoulder and leg testified of her still being very much alive.

DragonSong

It took a few minutes, but she got them to the rocks and pushed the girl up so she was half out of the water, at least. "You're bleeding pretty heavily," she noted, licking her lips.

Medievarad

As Usagi was placed on the rocks, she pulled herself up with a painful whince. "You tend to bleed when you're shot at."She hissed between her teeth. Walking was out of the question. Let alone swimming.

DragonSong

"Mm." Morgana tilted her head, folding her arms on the rock beside her and tilting her head. "You must have pissed off some other land walkers, yes?"

Medievarad

"Probably the entire group living on the island.." Usagi said with a groan, trying to look at the wound in her shoulder. Most likly the bullet didn't go all the way through and was stuck somewhere. Probably the same for her leg.

DragonSong

Hmm... Well it wouldn't do to have the humans trying to take her new toy- or meal, she hadn't quite decided yet- away. "How soon do you think you can move then?" she asked, tilting her head the other way.

Medievarad

"I don't know.." She tried to sit up, but failed and slumped against the sharp rocks with a painful whince again. "I think the bullets didn't pierce.. And are insde of me."

DragonSong

"Oh." Morgana frowned. That seemed problematic. "I suppose we have to get those out, then," she mused, pushing herself a little further out of the water to take a closer look.

Medievarad

Usagi nodded slowly. "Yeah.. That would be advicable.." She said as she tried to preserve some distance between herself and the mermaid, yet failing with another pained whimper.

DragonSong

Morgana tisked again, frowning slightly. "I'm not sure how to go about doing that," she said, as though she was talking about something completely innocuous.

Medievarad

"Knife.." Usagi murmured as she repositioned with a pained whimper. "Hilt at left side.. Small of my back.. Pull it out and try to pull the bullets out."

DragonSong

Frowning, the mermaid muttered, "Alright," and groped around for the weapon. When she found it, she eyed the girl's wounds and hesitantly prodded at her shoulder with the blade. "Hm. This is going to hurt," she mused nonchalantly.
