Written in an old un-named book bound in leather.
Xario was happy to smell the sea air again, it reminded him of his time as a child. Freeport was nothing special but it was known to harbor the crew known as The Blackwater Pirates. Their takeover of the Holy City was known of for a good many miles including in his small home where he was tended to by his nephew. When he heard of their presence he found himself drawn to the pirates. He realized how he wished to be on the sea once more. In all his years he never knew adventure but he knew the sea, he knew ships. With his new abilities he was finally able to capture what eluded him in his youth.
Today he finds a world worth discovering and he will begin in Freeport.

Xario's nephew woke in the morning to find a faded piece of parchment on the table it read "You have done well in taking care of me these years, I have left you my savings on my bunk. I hope that you find a beautiful wife and start a family, you deserve it. I am off to sail the seas once more, don't follow me for I have covered more ground last night than you could even imagine. May your children live better lives than I -Xario"
as Gerard flipped the parchment over he found the title page of Xario's favorite novel "A Life of Salt"
-------------------------------------------------
At that moment Xario had finished his walk to Freeport and was ready to meet one of the great pirates. He leaned heavily on his walking stick to support himself as his joints ached and he swayed heavily.

There is a small Tavern near the dock called the Salt Wife it is here that Wyatt has decided to indulge in some fine ale and women. The bar is alive with music and drunken laughter.
Wyatt sits at a table with two young women.
“So then the triceratops charged right at me,Thought for sure I was going to die there but I managed to get out of the way just in time. now I'm not a religious man but one of those gods must have been smiling on me that day” he said with a laugh and then took a drink of his ale.

He walked through the streets until he made it to the dock. "A pirate wouldn't leave their ship too far behind." Hearing a commotion at the Tavern Xario drew some reserve strength and walked over to the doorway. As he stood there with the light casting his shadow across the room he drew stares. He felt his throat dry up and decided to make his way through the common room to the bar. There he set down heavily on one of the few empty stools. He ordered a tankard of water set a gold piece on the table and said "I will let you keep the rest if you can tell me where to find The Blackwater Pirates."

Wyatt grabs his cup and raises it in the air.
"drinks all around, courtesy of the black water pirates!" Wyatt announces at the top of his voice. the bar erupts in a cheer, he then grabs one of the women by the waist "and double for this one" he added with a devilish smile.

Xario swipes up the coin on the counter grabs the tankard and offers a nod to the barkeep "Good doin' business with ya." He then shifts off of the stool and walks to the table where the announcement was made. There he does a nod and says in a deep voice "Hello good fellow. Might I take a seat with you? I would like to speak with you about dealings with your crew." he gestures toward an open seat at the table as he speaks.

Wyatt take a few seconds and examine the stranger before giving to tavern girl a pat on the butt "go on now I'll deal with you in after this matter" he said in a playful voice.
Wyatt motions for the man to sit. "so what dealings did you wish to speak of, we are pirates after all we've dealt with many of things"he said still smiling but slightly more serious.

Xario takes a seat and leans forward. He says "I would like to join your crew. I know how to properly read a nautical chart, how to traverse a reef, I am handy in battle and I have plans that might be very lucrative for all of us." After the last point he sat back and said "I can prove my usefulness if you like."

Cielo walked in and got up to the bar. He ordered some rum and the bartender gave him an apple with it. The bartender poured the rum and Cielo drank some. His face cringed from the strong taste. Not as sweet as blackwater rum, but it still has that sense of goodness in it. He pulled out a deck of cards and handed it to the bartender and said, "Shuffle it." He eavesdropped on wyatt and the other man while he waited for the bartender to finish shuffling.

Xario simply stood up to his full height and then said "I hoped not to make a scene but, my appearance already stifled that notion." Then he closed his eyes and a shadow flickered into view engulfing him. From this shadow smoke bellowed out and a mark formed on it's forehead seeming to burn like embers. The shadow took the shape of flames though stayed dark. Xario said "I am willing to take any challenge you decide upon."

Wyatt gives out a long whistle "well that certainly is an impressive trick you have there"
he stands up a motions for xario to come outside with him "we are going to have a little practice match if you can land a single hit on me I can send you to blackwater cove to our pirate lord will hear out your plans " he said pulling out a practice rapier not capable of killing child much less a full grown adult.
(ooc: we can either use the built in dice in the forum or just rp the fight I'll leave this up to you )

Cielo took the cards from the bartender's hands and said, "No. No. Like this." Cielo then shuffled the cards then looked at wyatt and the shady man. He was surprised that they were going to be leaving so soon. He then put the cards down, took the rum and apple, and left to go check up on Melda.

Xario walks to the door and holds it for Wyatt, then follows him outside. He follows Wyatt until they get to where the duel will take place. Then he asks "So would you like me to use a rapier as well or..."
(OOC: I'm fine either way, you can make the decision)

They arrive at a large open plaza followed by many of the bar folk and other's who joined along the way to see the duel, they formed a large circle around the two. Wyatt takes a fencing stance about 5 feet away from Xario. "you have the 1st move friend." he said ready for his attack ready for his attack.
(ooc:i have a weakness for dice . the dice button is right there and the end of the tools)
