She Must Be Tributed(Part 2)

Dante had walked himself some ways from the Snow Village to this more iced over area. The wind blew strongly, carrying the never ending fall of snow with it. Dante was well dressed for this kind of weather, yet he was never really affected by the cold in the first place. As he approached what he hoped was a docking area for ships. He saw a few men standing about. The ship captains? He didn't really care for he could operate a ship himself if needed be. As he got closer, these men's postures seemed to change. Was it because of him? Once again he did not care, for they were irrelevant to him.

Dante approached a ship, attempting to undo the anchoring that kept it from drifting away. That's when one of the men finally spoke up. "Hey what do you think you're doing?! That's my ship! You can't just take it!!" the man shouted as he began to approach Dante. The hooded Dante turned and faced the man. A space of about 5 inches between the two, both in each other's personal space, definitely too close for comfort for the angry man. Dante was relatively taller than the man. The angry man's eyes were intense as he stared into the darkness beneath Dante's hood which hid his eyes. "Oh? But I can kind sir. You see, you were not using it when I arrived. Are you familiar with the phrase, 'If you don't use it, you lose it' ?" Dante said with a cold smile as he placed hand on the man's shoulder. That was all that was needed to help the man understand. An event occured that no one could actually see but the man could feel in his shoulder. The man's eyes widened and his mouth seemed to want to drop form his face. "You see, you have lost it. Now sit tight while I handle some business, then maybe you'll get it back ok." Dante said in a more cheerful tone.

Dante then boarded the ship, leaving the man in his seemingly paralyzed state of fear. The other men rushed to him in concern, wondering what was wrong with him. Dante didn't harm the man. Just gave him a little shock, nothing major. Dante was now leaving these lands for another. He would return eventually.
