"Don't you talk to me that way!" Shouted the voice of a blue and purple pirate lenny as he curled up his wings like fists and slammed them on the counter of a pub. His gray eyes glared at the bartender. A black pirate's hat sat on his head; blue fluff coming out of the top with a braid in it. A heavy silver linked chain had a scythe at the end. The slim part of his three tails had different coloured beads on them which clicked together when his tails moved. Black toeless sock-like things were on his lenny feet; his tallons razor sharp. His beak had two fangs and a purple stripe across it. "You may not remember me, boy, but you damn well give me respect!" The lenny yelled once again, slamming his wing on the table which made the bartender take a step back.
As the lenny turned to leave, he noticed that a tall pirate krawk stood in front of him. "Why should anyone give you respect?" The krawk questioned, "You are nobody."
The word 'nobody' rang through the lenny. He wasn't nobody. The lenny poked a feather at the krawk's forhead, "Because I'm Cap'n Threetaileddemon, thats why!"
"Cap'n TTD died centuries ago." The krawk said as he gave the lenny a look of insanity, "There would be no way he'd be alive now. Not one. He may have been the greatest Captain that ever walked Neopia, but he cannot live out the spell of age."
TTD gave the krawk a glare, "Your lack of knowledge makes me sad." He said. TTD opened his beak. A small ball of sparking black energy began to gather. the energy turned into a sharp ray and ran right through the Krawk's skull. As the ray dissapeared, the krawk had a hole right through his skull. Blood poured out as he fell to the ground, dead.
TTD gave the krawk a last glare before he fixed his hat and made his way out of the pub.

Outside the pub, and Eyrie was sitting on a rock. The strange thing about her is she had a lupe's muzzle instead of an Eyries beak. She looked out at the sea, singing.
"Sweet, sweet like the rain drowning my heart
Come kiss me again.
Deep, deep like the sea
An ocean so warm, surrounding me
Oh ride the winds over the skies
To the bounds of time
Open the door
To find something more
More than a beautiful dream.
High over the sea
Watching the waters crawl beneath me
And the air claws at my eyes
Driving me wild into the skies
Oh follow me into the blue
Leave your world behind
And open the door
To find something more
More than an innocent dream.
How sweet the voice of reverie
'neath the moon it sang to me
Fragile words to lull my trust
Rose to ash and ash to dust.
How cold the touch of falling snow
Still my tears I shall not show
For I know that joy was mine
Frozen memories ever shine. "
She sang.She had on a grey tank top and some blue jeans. Her blue feathers were slightly ruffled in the strong breeze. Her green eyes scanned around the sea, watching a flotsam jump every once in a while.

TTD folded his wings at his sides. He stood a few steps in front of the pub before his eyes met the water. The way it splashed up against the rocks and sand just made him feel so calm and content. Its what he longed for. Its what made him...him...
His thoughts stopped as he heard the singing of the eyrie. He took a few steps towards her, "What do you call that?" His voice sounded somewhat saddened.

"Ash Rose." The eyrie responded. Her eyes looked far off and distant. "Reminds me of my Mother. Though she never got past her 26th birthday. Murdered on the same day." She sighed. "Ah well , what's past is past, right? It can't be helped. I'm Aleit." She said.

"Ah...sorry." TTD said simply as he looked at the ground. "Whats past is past..." He muttered to himself. His eyes met the water as he stared out into the distance. He hesitated before giving her his name, "I'm Threetaileddemon, or TTD for short."

"Nice to meet you TTD" She said. She never heard of Captain TTD before, so she didn't argue about his death. She leaned back on the boulder. "So what's up?" She asked, as if she already knew him like a friend. She was a very friendly person.

TTD paused. What was really up was that no one believed that he was alive, a bartender gave him disrespect, and he just killed a krawk. He shook his head slowly and shortly, "N-nothing..." He said absent mindedly as his gaze was stuck on the rolling waters.

Aleit nodded. "Hmm... Did something bad happen? I can tell by the tone of voice you have, and the way you just stuttered. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody. Even if you were an insane Murder, I don't have the guts to tell anyone. I've never told anyone about bad people unless they were out to kill me." She smiled sadly, her gaze still on the water. "Maybe that's what caused my mother's death."

TTD let out a sigh as he pointed a feather behind him to the pub, "Inside..." He said, "Killed a guy..." He trailed off. If he told another person who he really was, they wouldn't believe him. Although, it appeared the Eyrie had no idea. "I killed 'em 'cause he should know not to give disrespect to Cap'n TTD." He said, "Even though they think I'm really dead..."

The eyrie nodded. "Hm. As long as you don't go killing me- wait? You're dead?" She asked. Then she remembered all the pain death had caused her. "Can't be as painful as losing someone you love and still be living." She said sadly.

"Nah, I'm not dead." TTD said as he curled up a wing and hit it against his chest, "I'm as alive as ever. Its that..." He trailed off, "They think I died." He shook his head, "I've lost many people...I can't say I loved 'em, but they were close. Maybe like family..."

"That's what I mean by someone I love. Family. No one has ever gotten closer to me than my family." She nodded, understanding his Prediciment. She opened her mouth for anohter song.
"Her every day is like her last,
Same situations, seen so many times before.
For her the future's like the past;
Bitter, broken, shattered, torn.
She can't remember the last time that she smiled,
No more emotions in her heart.
Caught in a web spun by her own relentless mind,
And it's breaking her apart.
This stretch of ocean is her life,
Her ships have sunk to sandy graves,
The lonely winds cry out their sorrow,
The warm horizon brings no joy,
A drowning wish beneath the waves.
And once again those diamond tears
Spill from those shining eyes, that still nobody knows.
Nobody precious in her heart,
No loving arms to hold her close.
This stretch of ocean is her life,
Her ships have sunk to sandy graves,
The lonely winds cry out their sorrow,
The warm horizon brings no joy,
A drowning wish beneath the waves.
This stretch of ocean is her life,
She's all alone to face the tide,
The lonely winds cry out their sorrow,
Driving to the empty skies,
Fading dreams where hope has died."

"Ah." TTD said simply as he kept his eyes out at the water. He listened to Aleit's song. "I'm guessing you like to sing?" He asked, "Someone at home likes to sing alot...actually, about four of them have a chance to make it somewhere. Two of them are too shy though..."

'Yeah. It's a trait in my adopted family. About Half of them sing." She smiled again. "Sounds like you have a nice family. " She said. She looked up at the sky. The sun was just setting. Nighttime was near. "Hey, Can you give me a tour around here? I've never been here before, and it would be nice to get to know this place."

"My family is nice...I guess...except none of them are related to me." TTD said as he poked at a rock in the sand with his foot. He gave a nod, "Sure...but I'm not sure how everything is nowadays." I remember from a few centuries ago... TTD thought.
