Plentiful and prosperous trade flows throughout The Free States of Isra, just as blood circulates within one’s body, and the two serve equally vital roles. For without its trade, The Free States would still be The Free City, and the world would be worse off for it. However, due to the wildly successful efforts of Empress Naoki , and her careful management of Isra’s economy, we have the pleasure of living in the world we do today. Through her liaisons with other heads of state, she has forged numerous trade pacts and opened many paths for commerce and all that is associated with it, to flow through. This thread represents the stretch of ocean between The Isran Empire and The Kingdom of Gauldin where trade vessels from both nations pass to and fro. For its part, Gauldin contributes a number of airships in addition to the standard merchant galleys to facilitate trade between the two allied nations. All licensed trade vessels travel in convoys, usually comprised of at least six or seven standard merchant vessels, and an airship or two. Though Isra's navy is still in its infancy, Gauldin's Royal Air and Merchant Sea often patrol the sea lanes, both to protect their merchants and perform training exercises out in open waters. Between the convoy formations, Gauldin's patrols, and the careful watch of @oceanqueen in alliance forged between the three parties, any who might wish to disrupt Isra - Gauldin trade may be in for something of a fight. |

The scout ship fly high above a cargo vessel traveling the lane. The trap had been prepared for weeks. The bait ship had a skeleton crew and a mage with a teleportation spell held ready. It was loaded with inexpensive cargo so it floated low in the water. The sky was partially cloudy to hide the shadow of the scout airship. In short they had gone to exceptional length to prepare a trap that was not obviously a trap. Viddik stared down at the vessel the airship as trailing and scowled. Jun of the Celadine was also on deck, the girl had too much energy for a military operation. |

Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura.

There was a giant crow on-board.
Jun had already started going over various spells they would use. She explained to Viddik that she believed that the creature might be sentient, and so they should try to capture the creature alive so they could negotiate. She already had Resonance in her hand, ready and willing to go.
They would of course kill it if it turned out to not be the case.
As for the crow, Jun had dismissed the shrinking spell on Blackbean. Now the creature was in its true form. It was larger than a horse and strong enough to carry a full-grown man.

Another passing ship in her waters... just seeing it cast the shade though the endless green/blue expanse made her cringe. She grew tired of her duty, but if she didn't take initiative to protect the ocean then no one would. And the late king would be unhappy with her - she already knew his spirit was watching from the foam of the waves.
The Queen began to ascend through the depths, her form waving up and down with the long and powerful tail propelling her further. She came near the hull of the massive vessel and began to shift along the curved bottom towards the side - and to the surface. Once her horned head emerged she began to climb - sharpened claws digging into the wood with ease, to bring herself higher. Her aim was, presumably, the cannon hatches on the side. She didn't want to get inside, but just get near - somewhere where she might be able to get a whiff of particular cargo.
Now, smelling out cargo from this position? Considerably idiotic, but there were two things at work here: her heightened senses, and the fact the smell she was trying to pick up was of a particular kind. Oils, chemicals, anything that might pollute the water. She hated these... and if this ship carried any, then may the King have mercy on their souls when she was done.

Jun was in the middle of making her final preparations to fly down there. She was already wearing her dragon scale armor and helm. She was quickly spraying herself and Blackbean with a perfume which would make them smell like sea air. That's when someone would point out that the creature was attempting to board the ship.
She grabbed a bag of supplies and sat on top of Blackbean. Carefully noting the direction of the wind and where the creature's line of site would be, she took off. She stayed in the cloud cover as long as she could while Resonance began to draw energy from from her body. She knew just the spell she wanted to use to capture the creature. Her hands and the sword began to glow subtly. (Charge 1)
Blackbean would carefully glide down towards the ship from the other side. The creature would (hopefully) not sense her approach, too distracted looking for cannon ports and cargo. Even if she did, Blackbean would just look like a regular crow from below, the creature's size not immediately apparent, and the rider hidden by the crow's profile. The light from her hands and Resonance would also be obstructed by the low reflectivity of the black bird's wings.
Jun double checked to make sure she had the white flag was in her supplies, and that the creature would recognize they she just wanted to talk (assuming her plan worked).

She paid no mind to a bird in the air - if she were searching it out it would be odd to see a crow over the ocean. But it wasn't within her sight - she was still climbing about the hull in search of an opening. She finally found it, though it housed a ballista. That would be a troublesome harpoon if it was loosed, and she made quick work to push it a little further in with her armed hand - scepter firmly in hand. Once she had the room, she would slither inside - Jun would easily begin to see the tail slide inside, all 25 feet that started at her waist and went all the way to the tip of her tail, brilliant colors of purple and blue and green like coral standing out against the drab color of the ship.
She caught whiff of something - the oil. She stopped intruding further into the ship as she discovered what she didn't want to find - leaving a good length of her tail hanging in plain view of the side of the vessel. If no one from within the heart of the boat had spotted her yet they were likely to find her soon. At the moment she just had to find the cargo. She needed to find the proper containers that held the offensive material - before she tore this place apart she needed to know what it was she was going to have to remove.

Without incident, Jun had landed on board the ship. She was ready to cast her spell right away, but seeing as there was no horrible sea monster on the deck, she surmised the creature must have found an opening and was now below deck. Resonance continued to draw mana from Jun's body. It was now glowing fairly brightly. (Charge 2)
Holding up her little buckler, she sheathed her sword and pulled out the white flag. (Resonance still held her mana, ready to use almost instantly). She whispered to the skeleton crew, "It's below deckkk. Shhhh." She then entered the inner bowls of the ship while the crew made its preparations. Blackbean stayed on board.
Creeping along inside the dark passageway, she would make it to the entrance of the cargo hold, probably at about the same time the creature made it there. She could cast her spell right away, but the very first thing she would say in a grave, low voice.
"Do not move or we both die."

The Queen froze at the voice, save for her head turning slowly to pierce through the dark with a pair of sapphire eyes that seemed to stand out like candle lights in the shade. Those eyes narrowed part way upon Jun - after traversing the darkest reaches of the ocean floor, spying out her frame here in this wooden coffin was simple enough.
Her voice came out very clear and powerful, though a touch older than her human half might betray. "You think you can stop me? You, who have the gall to carry what you do across my ocean and likely spill into the water, would dare stand up to me?" she seethes, her gaze slowly lowering to take in all the details she could muster. Armor of fine make and quality, a buckler shield... and a flag? A white surrender flag. At the sight of it, she would slowly bring her staff forward so it was upright, and let the bottom slam to the floor with a loud thud that echoed off the walls. "Quite a weapon," she taunts, though she knows the meaning of the item in question.
In truth, this was the first time someone stood to her and wasn't screaming in shock, terror or rage. This was different from the other ships she had quickly destroyed. She was a bit curious as to the purpose here. As the Naga remained tall and proud, she was slowly drawing her tail in. She wasn't leaving much to chance - if she could get the thinner length of her tail closer in then, if things went south, she would have a free shot at grabbing and crushing this human in one move.

Jun smirked. "I like you already..." She shook her head however and became serious again. "Listen, if we fight, I don't know which of us is gonna win. But I'd rather not cross that bridge yet..."
With her white flag hand Jun gradually pointed up towards the deck. "There's an airship hiding in the clouds above, with a very mean and scary looking commander ready to fire a very powerful lightning spell on us. And the cargo hold is full of oil. I don't know if you've ever seen what happens when oil is exposed to extreme heat... but it's not good. If I don't give him a sign that I'm ok in the next minute or so, this whole ship will be destroyed. So what I want us to do, is very carefully, come above deck, together. I just want to talk. I'll even let you wrap your tail around my neck."
Jun stared straight in the eye of the creature and waited.

"So you already had plans to light this creaking box ablaze - with the very substance I'm here to get rid off. Brilliant," she hisses, beginning to move closer with little care or regard to whatever this human was planning. But then his direction shifts towards the light spilling in from the stairs that led above deck, her figure swaying side to side like a serpent. She casts a vicious leer to Jun at her passing. "I'll hold you to that offer, but dragging you while on land is tiresome. Let us 'talk' in the light, then." With that, she squares her shoulders and would slither along - holding herself rightly like royalty. Despite the fact she was very much a Naga, it appears she did hold some prestige - but was still very much temperamental. One could only wonder what her purpose here was.

As Jun and the naga climbed up the stairs towards the top hatch, her face remained absolutely stern. This was good, because she really wanted to sigh in relief. What she had told was a bold faced lie. Her real plan had been to capture her in a light construct bubble if she didn't comply, an option which was still available to her.
However, her intent to negotiate was serious. Jun genuinely did not want to fight the creature or kill it, especially knowing that it was an intelligent being.
When they made it to the deck, Jun raised up her hands towards the skeleton crew of mages. "It's ok, we're fine, everyone stay calm! No one is going to hurt anyone." The naga would see that she was dealing with a relatively small human female, with olive brown eyes and slightly tanned skin. The girl was actually well armed, not only with armor but with a brightly glowing sword and a strange rig of some kind, a scepter strapped to her lower back with two chains leading up to bracers on her arms. It would now become apparent that she was a powerful mage, and that her melee armaments were only secondary defenses.
She turned to face the naga. "My name is Jun. I'm acting as an ambassador for one of the parties that's been shipping across the sea. Who are you?"

The Naga stopped when she was clear of the overhead barrier, now up on deck and very much visible to all - and able to reach a near towering height with her body alone. She was a menacing sight, to be sure, with the lovely features of a woman but deadly additions of monsters - spiraling horns, sharp claws, and a massive serpentine body that looked powerful enough to crush bone. The scepter in hand was no less dangerous, with the three prongs set to skewer anything to come near.
Upon Jun's introduction, she turned her hard and near cruel gaze down to her from the thin group of ship hands. It seemed she still wasn't pleased, and possibly further insulted. Indeed, the woman seemed more than what her physical appearance suggested - weapons and all - but Kryqim was not one to back down. A queen never did. Her tail would whip around in a very sharp and deadly fast gesture, aiming to make good on her promise - to wrap the thin tip of her tail adorn in silk-like fins a coil or two about the slender neck of the woman and firmly secure the grip. If she got the hold, she might just lift the human female up enough to where the toes of her boots had to scrape at the floor for leverage - just as Jun was serious, so was she.
"Acting. A child in a standing position. You have no place requesting an audience from me, girl," she scoffs, bringing her scepter down hard again to the wood surface beneath her tail. "But at least a messenger must know to whom she speak, so you have the privilege of speaking with Kryqim, Queen of the Oceans and wife to the late King Bastys. And I'll remember well your threat against me," she adds with a vicious hiss, giving the presumably gripped woman a single shake if she had her.

Oh god she's really scary and she smells like fish.
Outside she was stoic as stone, but inside her head she was whimpering.
Ok, I got this. I can do this.
"Okay!" She said this with a voice an octave higher than normal. "Well-" She cleared her throat. "Well then... Your majesty, Kryqim, it's, umm, it's an honor to meet you. I'd bow but... well..." She pointed to the fleshy coil around her neck. "I'm sorry... about your husband. One of my closest friends lost her entire... family recently... I lost my grandmother last year... twice... that's a long story... You probably don't care... ANYWAYS..."
Jun realizes she is still holding the white flag. Unsure what to do with it she starts trying to awkwardly twirl it in her hand.
"So... I'd like to get straight to the point. I want to humbly request that our ships be granted safe passage through your oceans, and how we can remedy any inconvenience they may be causing you..."

(Since you guys skipped me I am saying Viddik spent this time charging a spell. Which means I have five posts worth of charge.) In the skies high above the ship Viddik kept track of the conversation. While the two talked he stored magic power. He hadn't planned to allow Jun to spear head the talks. She had just jumped down without asking and he elected to see how she did. The girl had started fine then turned into a stuttering mess. This was not how dealt with monsters, even royal monsters. He steps up to the edge of the railing and jumps off the scout ship. Midway down he unleashes the spell he had been charging. When dealing with a monster the first step is establishing dominance. A bolt of blue fire struck the water below and ice bloomed across the sea. It spread out from the ship lifting it into the air. Creating a frozen half sphere of ice nearly four miles in diameter in the water. In short he created a field where Kryqim had no easy escape. Viddik's fall begins to slow as he approaches the ground. Like all airshipmen his uniform carried a feather fall enchantment. He landed on the deck behind the Naga and affixed it with a glare. He idly taps ashes off the tip of his cigar and growls. "I am Task Force Commandant Viddik , I represent the Kingdom of Gauldin in this venture. Drop my contemporary or I will show you what hostile negotiations really are. Your majesty." |

The Naga queen scoffs and she rises up just a few inches higher with a simple shift of her snake-like tail, bringing her to tower further over Jun. Her eyes drilled right into those of the human female, bordering on the malicious. But she seemed relatively calm at the moment - further evident in her low tone.
"Inconvenience. Let me ask you this then, child - did you even think as to what an oil fire might do to the ocean you travel through? I'll be willing to bet my last scale it never crossed your mind. You only sought to destroy me, yes? And by any means necessary, including pol-"
Suddenly there was a major shift with the boat, causing the queen to stop in mid thought and shift her figure to adapt. When her gaze came about she could see where they were no longer on water, but an expansive layer of ice. It was amazing the entire ship didn't keep over to one side entirely. And then someone landed behind her, bringing her figure around slowly to level her livid stare upon the man, her scepter coming around in her bodily turn to slam to the floor once again.
"Yet another threat. I can imagine if anyone threw such words to a land-dwelling king or queen that they would meet swift consequence." Her tail twists about, bringing Jun near her figure. "I see where I stand amongst you, supposedly coming to 'negotiate'. I rather you have been up front about your intent rather than keeping up this pathetic pretense." With a whip-like motion of her tail, she sought to cast Jun in the direction of Commandant Viddik - and didn't care whether they collided or he caught her or anything of the sort. She was deeply insulted - there was no talking with land-walkers. "We're done here." With that she would attempt to turn and slither towards the opposite side of the ship - her aim to slip off the vessel and make her way across the ice for the waters.

In the split second that the queen decided to throw Jun, Resonance would sense the danger. The sword itself would fly into her hand as she made the slicing motion, the impossibly sharp magical blade would cut right through the queen's flesh.
If her attack was successful, without losing her composure, Jun would roll along the deck and get back up. "Bel Nal Kuhn!" The sword would release the magic it had been gathering this whole time. Almost immediately a large bubble of light energy as hard as stone would appear around the queen, trapping her. Immediately afterwards Jun would run up to the bubble and start applying magical scroll seals to strengthen it. The seals would cause glowing blue runic lines to spread out like spider webs around the bubble as the Queen was no doubt thrashing inside.
The bubble was translucent. Though it had a pale whiteness to it, the Queen would be able to hear and see everything outside.
"Ok! Fine, we admit it. This was a trap. The truth is we could have killed you the moment you set foot on the ship. But we didn't. We really do want to talk and try to make things right... Although I guess I should heal your tail first."

"There are three battle mages on this ship not including myself and the girl. There are another three in the airship above. There is two miles of ice between you and the ocean. Even if you can break through it ain't happening with out us getting off a few good shots."
Viddik puffs on his cigar and resumes gathering magical charge. The battle mages also begin to draw up power. He watches the antics of Jun and the creature still scowling. Then he finishes his thought.
"Considering the actions you took against our merchants, I am treating you with admirable restraint. This is a military operation. If you wanted to be treated like royalty you shouldn't have sunk out ships. Now you can either talk or you can fight."

The swipe was close, cutting just an inch or so through the flesh of her tail. A vicious snarl escaped her as a response - she was beyond furious now. As she regained composure and turned with every intent to attack, she surged forward to meet a barrier head on. When her horns smashed into her prison walls, no doubt any that could sense it would see, if not feel, the ripple of her strength through the orb. From there, she let her tail curl about and writhe in her cell - deadly sharp eyes piercing the pair of them like daggers. Her hand on the staff of her spear clenched. Coloring the bottom of the orb was a deep green substance with the consistency of blood that wept from the cut, but the bleeding stopped exceptionally quickly.
"Talk of what? You've already proven you hold no concern to my waters, and further insult me. I do what I must to protect my people and the sea - that includes removal of dangerous travelers through my domain. If you will stand here and say that your land-dwelling rulers would not do the same, then you are a fool. But then again, you are not a king or a ruler - you are the military dog sent to do the work and bidding of your ruler. I, however, work myself to protect my territory."
Her arms come to cross over her chest and she watches the pair of them with heavy skepticism. Her voice is laced with disgust and disappointment. "So far, all I've seen are threats and assaults on my person. Tell me, why should I listen to anything you two messengers have to say? Because you will attempt to kill a queen? If you're stupid enough to try that, then you deserve the misfortune to fall upon your lands when I take my last breath - and I was right in knowing how narrow-minded you humans are..."

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.
Allegiances: Isra

Jun's eyes widened as the Queen delivered a colossal impact against the shield. Still, it would take more than that to shatter it, especially now that it was reinforced.
She sighed. "Viddik, the queen has a point. She and her people do have a claim to these waters. And if the ships of Isra and Gauldin are harming them somehow, then don't they have a responsibility to address those concerns?"
She turned to the queen. "Tell us, how are the ships causing harm to the ocean, and what methods would you prescribe to prevent the damage? Although, before you say anything, I should point out that the presence of the ships is non-negotiable. I have no say in that, I'm just the dog." She smirked.
At the same time, Jun's giant pet crow Blackbean would hop up to the bubble, staring at it curiously with one eye.

"Your majesty you attacked and killed Gauldin citizens. You made no formal declaration of intent, you made no attempts at negotiation. So far as I am concerned what you did was an act of war. You say my king would act the same? I know for a fact he doesn't. Standing orders are to settle things peaceably or with non lethal force if reasonable possible. So far as I can tell you have just decided to start killing people. Also if I am being one hundred percent candid, if my king did go around lopping the heads off of foreign civilians I would put a stop to it. It's a good thing you have a tail cause as far as I am concerned you don't have a leg to stand on. You want me to respect your point of view? I suggest you earn that by being as willing to negotiate as we are. You say we are threatening you? Yes we are. That doesn't mean what we are saying is wrong. Me or the girl could have killed you by detonating this boat the second you were aboard. That is a fact. We didn't because we want to resolve this peaceably, that is also a fact."
Viddik takes a long drag on his cigar and the lizard on his shoulder chitters for a bit. He and his battle mages continue to gather magical charge. He taps off a bit more ash then finishes his thought.
"So far the only person throwing insults and killing people has been you. All we have done is show the appropriate level of caution given what you have done. So you can either keep acting like you are the victim or you can act like a queen. See which one gets you farther. Cause if you call me a dog one more time I am going to stop being polite."
He let's the thought hang. If this is him being polite they probably didn't want to see him being rude.
