Task Four: The Difficult one
A purple void appeared on the left of the throne room. Irene pushed a brunette through the void and onto the floor. Katniss turned towards the ginger gritting her teeth. The ginger smirked before walking towards a throne where Zerefe sat. Katniss took in her surroundings. "You! I thought you tried to kill me. What do you want?"
A girl with blonde hair appeared next to her. "Oh, Katniss was it? You're alive because of Ajeel's magic. Be grateful and don't give us lip, or we'll be forced to kill you again and this time leave you for dead."
Sighing, Katniss looked in her eyes then stood. Dimaria smirked, spun on her heels and walked past the others. The archer casted her gaze downwards. "Zeref, why did you summon us." A weak voice quaked. Katniss rested her eyes on another brunette.

Felling eyes on her, Zephyrine flenched. Cocking her head, she meet Katniss and waved. Zephyr felt a tickle in her nose. "A..." Zephyr said. All eyes turned on her. The feeling resonated through her nasal cavity. She shook her head trying to get the feeling to stop. "A-A-Choo!" Zephyr turned her head downwards to keep from sneezing on those around her. A blast of air shot from her mouth. The force blasted her against the ceiling. Giggling, she slide on her heels down the wall. She rubbed her nose once she came to a stop.
"Sorry." The nomad cooed.
Eletta rolled her eyes. "Show off, " she muttered. The nomad shrugged it off.
"Anyway," Zeref stated. "I need one of you to go the Black Pearl and destroy Captain Jack Sparrow. I have tried to apprehend him, but he keeps evading me."
"I Volunteer!" A voice spoke up. Zephyr, glanced around those surrounding her. Her eyes rested on Eletta who had now, stepped forward.
***********
Crossing her arms, Eletta stood before the King Spriggian. "I know the seven seas better than my father." The pirate held a rum bottle in her hand. "I will destroy my father and the Black Pearl. All I need is to be dropped off at Torgua and I will complete the rest." An evil smiled pulled at Zeref's lips.
"Fine, but you will go where I send you." A black void appeared before the company. Eletta pulled the brim of her hat over her eyes then stepped into the void. The void it's self was cold and weightless. Eletta kept her eyes on the white circle before her. Her mind raced of what she just said. Why would she volunteer for such a feat.
Taking a deep breath, Eletta stepped through the void. Her boots clomped against the oak of the deck. "Halt, who goes there!" A voice came behind her. The pirate swallowed hard and studied the ship. Its presteen wood and spotless white mast, told her Zeref had placed her on a naval ship.
Drawing her sword, Eletta through her rum bottle in the air, spun on her heels and charged the men with red jackets, white pants and black boots. Raising her sword, she swiped downwards, against a soldier's chest. Blood spewed out of his wound as she plunged her blade deep in the heart of a second. The soldier's gave a battle cry. Eletta did the same.
A man in a blue dress coat made his way towards her and his dying men. Eletta gritted her teeth. "Beckett, I should have known!" She shouted.
"Time to meet your maker, Pirate." The Lord said in response.
Gritting her teeth, Eletta grabbed the sword off a near by solider. Cutler Beckett unsheathed his as well. The pirate rose on her toes and dashed towards him. Moving as if she was dancing, she slide her blades across the chest and extremities of the soldiers. Rising on her toes then twisting her feet. On she danced. Blood spewing all around her.
Swords clanged against one another. Eletta smirked. Cutler and Eletta swung their swords at one another. Eletta ducked while Cutler thrusted. They Parried. They duo continued battling. The Pirate, jumped on the side of the ship then plunged her sword towards the male. Cutler thrusted his sword towards her. Eletta spun out of the way, cutting his jacket in the process.
Turning for another attack, Eletta plunged her sword deep into his heart. The male cried out in anguish as he collapsed to the floor. "Finally, the sea is free from your tranny." Eletta stated as the starred into the man's dying eyes. Cutler grabbed his sword taught. He was not going down with out a fight. As he stood a ship with black sails pulled up along the Interceptor.
Eletta's eyes widen. "Father!" A man with wild brown hair, a white shirt and red dew rag covered by a black hat, stood across from them watching.
Cutler gazed at the Black Peril. "Jack Sparrow."
Growling, Eletta turned towards him. "When you speak my father's name say it right! It's Captain Jack Sparrow to you scum!" Raising her sword, she slide the blade across his neck. Blood coated the hardwood as his jugular vein squirted blood. The commodore grabbed his neck, before falling to the floor and died.
Laughing, Eletta stood on the side of the ship; holding on to a near by rope. "Father, my I board?" She called out.
"Of course, but stay away from my rum." Smiling, she through the sword she grabbed from the solider and threw it towards the mast. The sword sliced through a rope. The rope pulled her into the air and landed on the blackened deck of the Black Pearl.
With her arms out stretched, she ran towards her drunken father. The two embraced, but only for a brief second before Jack Sparrow pushed her away. "Father, I've missed you."
The captain smiled. "Well, mate, I'm easy to miss." Spinning on her heels, he sauntered away.
"Why are you leaving me? You never want anything to do me!"
"Frankly, mate, you are right."
"Why don't you love me, Dad?"
Facing her, the captain laughed. "Because, your mother and I had a one night stand. I didn't love her nor her me. So, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not your father."
Anger boiled inside her. "Take that back! Angelica is mother and you care for her!"
"I did once, mate. But Angelic is not your mother. Elizabeth Turner is your mother."
The world around Eletta shattered. She had always believed that Angelica daughter of Black Beard Captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge was her mother. Screaming, Eletta drew her blood stained sword seething through her teeth. "You're nothing but a liar who never cared about his family."
"You sure you want to cross blade's with me, love?"
"Nothing would please me more." Eletta thrusted forward. Jack Sparrow parried, raised his blade then swung to her left. Eletta fell to the deck and rolled out of the way. The commotion had dragged out on-lookers. Huffing, Eletta raced past Gibbs, Jack Sparrow's first mate, removing his sword. Once again, Eletta twirled on her toes with both blades on either side of her body. Jack Sparrow dodged several times before being hit.
Grinning, Eletta went flat on her feet then those back to her toes. Taking steps forward and backwards, the pair fought. Getting in a lucky hit, Jack Sparrow had his back to her. Turning to parry once more, Eletta's blade pierced his heart. Killing him in an instance.

Grumbling, Anastasia crossed her arms. "Who would murder their own father? That's the difference between elves and humans." With those last words, she spun on her heels and marched out of the room. The She-elf stormed down the corridor. Tears came welled up in her eyes. Her heart earned for Mirkwood.
Reaching her room, the princess collapsed on her bed. Closing her eyes, her mind took her back to Mirkwood. She soon drifted "Anya, what are you doing? Your father wishes, for you to join him in the throne room." Opening her eyes, she glanced around the room. She was back at home. The she-elf twisted her body. Her feet didn't reach the ground. The elf looked surprise. Reaching up, she placed her hand on the back of her head. Her finger tips graced the petals of a flower. Glancing downwards, her dress was green and covered her ankles. The she-elf jumped from her bed and raced over to a near by mirror. Her eyes scanned her twelve years old self.
Smiling, she raced down the corridors dressed as tree trunks. Jumping in the air, a piece of the bark, came up to meet her feet. She slide all the way down and into the throne room that rested above the dungeons and in the middle of the castle. A male with blonde hair, green cloths, and a crown that gave him antlers, stood waiting for him. Anastasia's young eyes starred in aww at her father. He bore such power and all her kin gave him such respect.
A giggle escaped her lips as she ran up the steps, leading to the platform, where the throne rested. "What are you teaching me today, Daddy?" Smiling, the king sat on his throne, also carved from a tree trunk. Legolas opened his arms to her. The Elfing claimed into his lap. "Daddy?" His didn't say anything.
A banging rang out from the door across from them. Anastasia turned her head. "Anastasia, come out this instant. I want to train and Cassandra won't fight me!" Called out a female's voice. The elfing cocked her head. The banging grew louder. The gates rattled. Growling, Anastasia kissed her father's cheek.
"I'll be home soon, father." With that Anastasia woke up.
**********************
Hovering in front of the she-elfs door, Artemis crossed her arms. "Where is she?" She grumbled. "After she tried to get away, I'm surprised she's still around. Zeref must be hard up." The door creaked as it swung open. Anastasia stood at her door rubbing her eyes. She yawned and stretched her arms. Artemis' eye brow ticked. "Were you asleep!" She screamed at her.
"Yes, I was having an adult dream. Why did you have to ruin it?"
The hybrid crossed her arms. "You were not. You just peed the bed you egomaniac." Turning, the dragon began flying away. Shrugging, the she-elf followed her. Glancing back at her, Artemis pulled her staff from her back and played a few notes. Turning, she shot purple discs towards the princess. Unexpectedly, Anastasia ducked under the first then back flipped of the second. A smirk displayed it's shelf on her face.
"You'll have to do better that."
"Challenge expected." The Hybrid flew faster. Being lighter than a feather, Anastasia kept up. The girls raced down the hall until the came into a street out side the palace walls. The girls stood across from each other. Crying out, Artemis played more notes and flung them towards Anastasia, leaping into the air, she dodged the discs once more.
The she-elf landed on the ground, unsheathed her sword and raced towards her. "Dragon's Song!" Artemis cried out. Purple circles shot from her mouth towards Anastasia. Once again, the elf dodged. "Lyra!" A hand held harp appeared in her hands. The she-elf tried getting closer. With one strike of the cords, chills raced up her spine.
"I love the smell of defeat in the morning." Artemis stated.
"This battle as just began."
"Don't flatter, yourself, you're not even a player."
Anastasia's eyes grew wide. Gritting her teeth, vines shot out of the ground. They wrapped themselves around her ankles. Artemis looked down at the foliage. "Is that the best you can..." Before she could continue, Anastasia moved her hand's in a circular motion. The vines swung the hybrid in a circle. The elf stopped the motion suddenly. The vins released Artemis; throwing her into a near by building.
******************
An image of Anastasia, with her sword drawn, pounced over Artemis. Bending her wings, She prepared for the worst. Nothing happened. Another image appeared of Artemis pushing the rubble from off her. Her body now clothed in scales. She was ready for battle. The she-elf lengthened her stance. The image cried out and swiped it's talons against her. The she-elf blocked. The talon's broke and the Anastasia pressed her blade into the Image's side.
The Image screamed as she collapsed. Blue sparkles floated into the air as it faded away. Cassandra emerged from the shadows. "What did you do?" She asked the elf. Tears welded up in Anastasia's eyes.
"I-I killed her." She said at last.
Cassandra smirked. Artemis bursted from the rubble. "What was that! You tried to kill me you maniac!"
Laughter escaped the princess' lips. Racing to Artemis, she through her arms around her. "I'm happy you're not dead."
"Me too."
Cassandra rolled her eyes. "Okay, you two. Let's stop fighting each other before Zeref sends us on our job." The hybrid and she-elf nodded collectively before heading inside.
