Oppel headed down to pirate cove in hopes of seeing some no good ruthless pirates! Pirates had been one of his favorite things to learn about when he was younger and when it came storytime, he alwyas asked to hear about the pirates. Now he wanted to meet some face-to-face. He headed down leaving footprints in the sand as he made his way towards the water. He sat there for a while waiting for any sign of a pirate ship. As it got later into the day Oppel moved back from the water and was laying in the sand waiting. He shut his eyes...

KRAK! cam a monstrous noise from out on the water. Oppel sat up to see what made the terrifyingly lous noise. It was a pirate ship! He could tell from the sail that
this was indeed the pirate ship he hoped to see. It was firing at another ship beside it! So the pirates fought eachother... Oppel watched in fear as one of the ships plunged down into the water. The remaining boat which seemed heavily damaged came towards the shore and the pirates came off the boat onto the land. It wasn't to long before two pirates spotted Oppel and came up to him. One pirate pulled a long sword from his waist and raised it up above Oppel's head. He then forced it down towards Oppel as fast as he could...

Oppel awakened from his terrifying dream breathing very heavily. He stood up on his feet and took off running.

A young woman looked around the cove with curious optics as she entered the cove, where she had heard of pirates. What she would give to have her spear in hand to smite one of the foul beings, and have him cry out for mercy, where she would give non.
She smirked at her evil thoughts and then shook her head, no, that was not of her name. She would have merely have to bear with the tyrants until they did something unruly in her precence.
She turned to leave the cove, but her ears caught the rushing across sand... A pirate? She strode so that she could see what it was, only to catch sight of a startled being. Her cranium cocked to the left in slight confusion, and she stepped into more plainer view, in hopes of calming the man's fright or what ailled him...

The hot day began to take its toll on Oppel as he continued running through the sand. Not only was he hot, but by now he was also extremely tired. Oppel stopped running, but checked behind him to see if there were any pirates following him. He didn't know why he felt so frightened, they were pirates and he was after all, very powerful with his magic. Surely he could overcome them, or so he felt. He turned back away from the cove and noticed a figure in the distance. He squinted in an attempt to make the figure more visible, but he was to far away to see who it was. A Pirate? he asked himself. In hopes of overcoming his terrible dream, he gathered his courage and began walking towards the pirate.

Optics glanced over Oppel as he approached her, her flashing eyes sharp, she could tell something was not quite right with him. She smiled lightly to herself as he neared her, with what looked to be determined features 'pon his face. She then lifted her hand in greeting, hoping that might calm what fear he may have of her.
Her thoughts loud inside her own cranium as she thought them, 'He is tired... I can tell by the way he holds himself...'

As Oppel got closer to the figure, he saw it was not a pirate, bt instead a female. He approached, now unafraid of hr being a pirate because he saw how she was dressed. He smirked as he walked up to her. "Greeting," he spoke, "I am Oppel God of Nature, who might you be?" After finishing, he looked around to see if any pirates were about. Fragments of his nightmare were still playing themselves within his head...

She smiled mentally to herself, he was jittery as he approached her. But his jitters where not of her, but of something else. She bowed her head in greeting, "I am the Valkyrie, Skuld..." She smiled slightly as she stood straight once more, "I see you are uneasy... May I ask 'what is the matter'?" She cocked her cranium to the left once more, it was a now seemingly act to tell someone that she was interested in something or just plain out confused about something.

Oppel smiled, "Just a bad dream." He said as he leaned himself againt a nearby rock. He looked down to his feet and then back to where he had come from, further into the cove. He then turned baack to face Skuld, "So, what brings you here this fine day?" he asked as he stared past her at the vast land.

Skuld blinked slighty, a mere dream? She shook her head and brushed a piece of hair from her face and then shook her head, "I am merely on a quest, a great and yet hard quest..." She sighed and then let her eyes fall to the task of looking over the area where she stood.

Oppels eyes moved to watch Skuld as she stood infront of him. "If you don't mind me asking," he spoke, "what may your quest be?" He looked her up and down and didn't understand what type of quest she could be on. He then looked back to her eyes and smiled while tapping the hilt of his sword which lay in it's sheath at his side.

She smiled lightly up at him, "I am on a quest to seek out all the gods and goddesses of this land... And become friend or foe, but to meet them... That is the main purpose..!" She raised an eyebrow, "Would you perhaps know any of those gods or goddesses?"
