Story
12th month, 23rd day.

I, Zirahk, am writing this from the safety of my quarters in the Bounty Hunters' Guild.

But a few days ago, on the 23rd, my story began.

You see, previously, I had been working for the Brotherhood of Makuta. But their brutal tactics, vicious ways and hidden motives prompted me to leave. And the final straw came, when I was to be deactivated for a thousand years for some "master plan" they had. That was it. I ran away... and it didn't go well.

''Zirahk sprinted away as fast as he could. Behind him, Antroz and Bitil, to vicious makuta, were in the air, in hot pursuit. Zirahk folded his feet together in front of him, and began to fly, his mechanic propulsion systems kicking in. Behind him, blasts of shadows escaped the confines of the makuta's hands, and sailed towards Zirahk.''

''Dodging, Zirahk sent blasts of heat vision back at his opponent, hitting Bitil in the wings, and making him spiral into the ground. He sent another blast at Antroz, but he dodged. The red makuta spiraled in the air away from the lancing light, and sent another blast of shadow in front of Zirahk. The explosion infront of him made him have to deactivate his flying powers, and turn to face Antroz, who had already landed infront of him.''

''Without exchanging any words, Zirahk whipped out his spear and Antroz unsheathed his blades, and they duled, constantly ducking and dodging. From time to time, Zirahk would try to incinerate Antroz's armor, whereas Antroz would try to send him flying back with an acurate blast of shadow.''

''"Traitor!" Antroz bellowed, and landed a skilled blow in Zirahk's stomach, making him tumble back.''

Bitil jumped into the rocky clearing and bared his teeth.

Where was his ride? ''Zirahk thought. He'd told a group of sailors to meet him here.''

''Antroz and Bitil circled him, until Zirahk saw Antroz nod at Bitil, and they charged. Suddenly, Zirahk was lifted off his feet into the air. He looked up, and found him being held by a large, beastly being, dangling from a cargo airship.''

''"So long, boys!" Said the figure merrily at the makuta.''

''The being heaved Zirahk onto the cargo ship, then pulled himself up with no effort. Zirahk found himself facing a whole group of gruff, large beings, all looking like they murdered for fun.''

''"Thank you." Zirahk said, "You're a little late, you know. Even for pirates."''

The being chuckled.

"Don't sweat it. We got you in time, didn't we? Now, tell me, where do you want to go?"

''"Away." Zirahk said. "Far away. As far away as you can take me."''

The pirate looked at his comrades a smiled.

''"Bring me the teleporter." He said, then turned to Zirahk, "It's a deal."''

And now I'm writing from where he took me. And that is where my story began.
