رنا حسين استعدت نفسها ضد الجدار
Rana al Hassein braced herself against the cabin wall as the Zephyr's Heart was violently rocked to the side. A loud crack could be heard outside, as well as the shouts of the crew on deck.
يمكن آنا تسمع الصراخ من على سطح السفينة الكابتن
"To arms!", Rana could hear Captain Dakara shouting from the deck, "Get that tentacle off my ship!". Her father's guards had pushed her back into the cabin at the first warning shout from the crow's nest. She had only time to see the water turn jet black before being pushed inside. Rana looked out the port window but couldn't see anything other than the ink filled water.
سحب في تزوير، لا تدع تلك الأشرعة الحصول على ممزق
"Pull in the riggings, don't let those sails get ripped!"
قدمت رنا طريقها إلى خزانة أمتعة شخصية
Rana made her way to the footlocker that was bolted to the floor on the other side of the cabin. She had a dagger hidden among her personal affects.
انها مجرد طفل، والسذج
"It's just a baby, fools, don't soil your small clothes."
ومثلما فتحت خزانة أمتعة شخصية ثقب المنفذ كسر فتح
Just as she opened the footlocker the port hole broke open in a shattering of glass, and a tentacle the size of her father's arm whipped into the cabin. The tentacle was lined with suckers, a tiny claw in the center of each one. Rana screamed and dug for the dagger while the tentacle flailed around the room. She felt the hilt under the pile of dirty clothes, but her hand was wrested away as the cold, slimy tentacle wrapped around her ankle and pulled her across the cabin floor.
صرخت كما اللامسة ضيق وألم من خلال اطلاق النار ساقها
"Help!", she screamed as the tentacle constricted and pain shot through her leg. The kraken's tentacle lifted her off the floor and she dangled upside down. Rana could see the port hole and then panic set in. Could she even fit through there? She closed her eyes and said a prayer to Sarenrae.
كما لو كان في الإجابة، غمرت أشعة الشمس المقصورة
As if in answer, sunlight flooded the cabin as the door opened and the Zephyer's first mate rushed in with a curved scimitar in hand. He paused for a moment, taking in the scene of the keleshite princess hanging upside down, her short skirts upended.
هل من الطبيعي للأميرة عدم ارتداء أثواب؟
"Is it normal for a keleshite princess not to wear undergarments?" He asked with a leering grin. Despite the situation, Rana blushed. It hadn't rained in a week and she'd had no fresh water to wash her clothes in.
قبل أنها يمكن أن تأتي مع معوجة
Before she could come up with a retort, the dark Osirion had made his way to her and pulled her to his chest with one arm. He hacked at the tenticle with his other until it released it's gripped and pulled out of the cabin.
شكرا لك، شكرا لك.
"Thank you, thank you.", she stammered and collapsed against his broad chest. He was covered in wet, sticky blood but she didn't care. The sounds of combat ceased and Rana could hear the captain again, ordering the crew to secure the broken railing, patch the sails, wash the deck, the list went on and on. She had no idea how long she stayed in the first mate's embrace. "You saved my life, and I've never asked your name before."
إنني دعوا قوص، الأميرة.
"I am called Anubhav, princess."
من فضلك، اتصل بي رنا
"Please, call me Rana."
