This choice: Seafang, the gnoll pirate • Go Back...Chapter #5Seafang, the gnoll pirate by: cheese111   Simone smiled, looking at her phone. This guy was certainly a character. A self-proclaimed pirate, he even put some of that corny pirate-speak in his texts to her. What was more interesting is his claims to have his own ship to sail the world and a desire for a strong woman by his side. Something exotic and dangerous, so why not a human? It made Simone feel a strange kind of special. It helped that he was quite easy on the eyes too. Handsome, tall, muscular. The thick, bristly fur and hyena-like muzzle were there too, of course. But the gnoll was a sexy beast in her mind.
Finally her attention was drawn to the front door, loud knocking echoing through her house. They had agreed before the date that she'd be wearing something casual. Something that she didn't mind getting damaged or wet. Those instructions alone had her fantasizing about what this Seafang might do to her in the bedroom, or captain's quarters as he'd said. More knocks followed as it seemed her date was an impatient one. She opened the door to find several gnolls waiting for her. None of them looked like the dashing one she'd been getting pictures from though.
"Good evening, madam." The lead gnoll spoke with a growly voice. English did not come easy to the beast, but it tried to sound polite all the same. More distressing was the smell. She had few illusions about gnolls being clean, but the piercing stink of sweat radiated of them like a vile aura.
"The captain has requested we escort you to our beautiful vessel. She be close by in the river. If you would please follow us. We'd hate for this to get... unpleasant." The others cackled with that last word. Each of them was a foot taller than Simone and twice as wide. They seemed almost disappointed when the woman simply nodded, grabbed her coat and closed the door behind herself.
"Okay then, gents, lead away." She said cheerily.
"Would the lady care to be carried?" The lead gnoll offered. With a cheeky grin Simone nodded and in a flash she was hoisted off her feet and thrown over the gnoll's shoulder. She gave a sigh, not sure why she expecting any different. Doubt set in as the sweaty smell was even worse up close. The other gnolls chuckled at eachother, some of them using the opportunity to try and sneak a look up her skirt. Thankfully the beast's broad shoulder was comfortable enough. She stayed calm as the pack made way for the river, making small talk with the gnolls.
"So how long have you guys known Seafang?"
"Arr, he found us all as pups, raised us like his sons. Instilled within us a love of the sea, raiding and plundering. He inspires us all and each of us would follow him into hell if he ordered it." The lead gnoll said, sounding surprisingly emotional through his snarling voice. The others all quietly nodded along. "This crew, she be one big happy family." The beast continued.
"Now we all drift across the endless waters, our home ever with us." Another crewmember added, earning his own round of agreement. Their chat didn't last much longer as they had arrived at their destination. Simone was set down as gently as the lead gnoll could muster and turned around.
"Avast, me datey!" A boisterous voice called out. His first line to her was a dad joke. Simone instantly knew the story of Seafang raising the other crew had to be true now. But as she saw him she was more than convinced a bad taste in humor wouldn't dampen this date one bit.
Seafang stood tall and proud, a toothy smile on his face and an outfit that had to be seen to be believed. A long, ornately detailed duster that looked straight out of a pirate novel. Gold trimmings, fine leatherworking and a scabbard to its side for a large broadsword, he had it all. His face looked as ruggedly handsome as ever. If there were any signs that he was older than the crew, his appearance didn't show them. He wore a stained white undershirt and his fingers were coated in large golden rings and jewels. His pants matched the duster coat and his large boots were shining as he struck a powerful pose. Simone was certainly impressed by the captain, but his ship was quite a sight too.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
