The Dark Lady awed the Pirate Queen. This immortal woman seemed full of mystery and darkness. The Lady was the beloved of the Vampyr, full of seductive self-interest and casual disdain for those mere mortals who became ensnared in her charms. She was ferocious in fighting and in love, and took glee in the physical and emotional wounds she inflicted. But for all her ferocity, there was a naïve charm about her, as though she had no idea of her full powers. The Dark Lady was feline and graceful, yet awkward in her dealings in the tender emotions. There was a subtle vulnerability about her that entranced. While the Lady had little respect for human needs, she secretly approved of the Pirate Queen’s ability to fight. She would join the epic search, but for that reason alone.
