Arrr me hearties and listen well to this tale, well over 3,000 years ago the last of the pirate kings died out. But now there will be a new Pirate King to bring order to the troubled pirates that sail the seven sea’s.
The Red Dragon sailed through the waters off the Isla De Geminus, at the helm was Captain Aran Semiltie - A tall man of about 6ft5 with long blonde hair tied back in a pony tail, his eyes were of the deepest blue and his skin was pale as if he had not seen the sun for many moons, this could be considered true for Aran was a Vampire, cursed a long time ago by an evil Lord who Aran had slain for making him what he was this day.
Aran looked at the moon as the waves hit his ship and let out a sigh as he thought to himself “What I wouldn’t give to see the sun again just once” he was startled as the Elvin form of his First mate appeared behind him and said in her soft voice “Aran, do not worry. I will try everything in my power to help you but for now we cannot forget that we are hunted criminals” Aran turned around to study Jeniza Allenna- a young woman who looked in her late teens but Aran knew she was older then that with her long dark brown hair done in a plait and with her dark green eyes that he thought could see what was in his very soul, she stood at 5ft4 with her cutlass hanging at her side- Aran smiled warmly at her before saying softly “Thank you Jeniza that means a lot to me coming from you”. Jeniza looked out at the sea before saying “So where are we heading?” Aran replied “We’re heading to Alasga we need to stock up on stuff” Jeniza nodded her head as she saw a ship moving in the distance.
Travelling speedily through the water towards the Red Dragon was the Naval ship The Havoc at the helm was Captain Zane Allbright - he would be a handsome man if not for the scar running down his left eyelid and lip, he had greasy black hair and jet black eyes which if u looked into for to long u would feel as though u had fell into oblivion itself, he stood at 6ft1- he shouted at his lieutenant “GET the GUNS READY TO FIRE ON THAT PIRATE SHIP, LOOK LIVELY”. The lieutenant ran down below deck and called out for the Master Gunner to ready the cannons and wait for the captains signal to fire as The Havoc sailed closer to the Red Dragon.
Aran was looking through his telescope at the ship that was closing in on his vessel before shouting out “Look LIVELY LADS, IT’S THE HAVOC”, the crew all ran about the deck as some of them went under the deck to the guns and readied the cannons as Aran made sure his cutlass was on and he gave a crazy smile as he laughed insanely.
The Havoc had all it’s sails down as it crept ever closer to the Red Dragon, Allbright looked at his lieutenant and shouted “Fire the Cannons, tell the Dragon that we mean business”, his lieutenant looked at him and shouted down to the crew under the deck “FIRE THE CANNONS” and the ship shook as the cannons fired towards the Red Dragon.
Aran looked shocked and bemused as he wondered what the Havoc was doing and then he shook his head and he looked at Jeniza and said “Jeniza, ready the cannons, ours have more range then their’s, blow a bloody hole in their ship” Jeniza nodded as she called out the order for the cannons to fire. The cannons fired at the Havoc blowing 3 great holes in the side of the ship as it began to took on water, Aran laughed and said “That’s got them, come on lets go and finish the job”, with that he got up onto the railing on the Red Dragon and dived into the sea swimming towards the Havoc.
Aran crawled up the anchor of the Havoc as he drew his cutlass and started fighting the navy crewmen that hurried towards them and he spun around one and drove his sword into the crewman’s back as he kicked another one hard in the chest. Meanwhile the rest of the Red Dragon crew was boarding the Havoc and making short work of the inexperienced Navy crewmen as Zane looked at Aran and said “You will never win Semiltie, the time of Pirates is nearly at an end. You can’t defeat the whole Navy being just one lone ship out on these waters” Aran growled as his eyes turned red and his fangs began to grow “Who said we were the only pirates on these waters, there are more pirate captains, you just do not know about them Allbright”.
Zane drew his sword and lunged at Aran who parried it and then struck the blade of his sword against Zane’s back leaving a bloodied cut tearing through Zane’s shirt exposing his back as Aran leapt onto him and licked the blood dripping from the wound, he then looked up at Jeniza and said “Get everything you can from here. We’re leaving” Jeniza looked at Aran and nodded before ordering the crew to grab as much stuff as they could.
Aran whispered into Zane’s ear still pinning him onto the deck “Your time will be coming to an end soon…..brother.” Zane struggled and said in a whisper “You lost the right to call me brother years ago Aran, your nothing but scum now and soon I will have no problem in plunging a knife deep into your black heart and ending your pitiful life” Aran leapt up off of Zane and saluted him with a grin as he back flipped onto the deck of the Red Dragon. Aran then shouted “See ya later Zaney boy, you’d better make sure you get off your ship soon before it sinks…you seem to have a rather large hole in it” The crew laughed as Aran gave the signal to raise the anchor and carry on to their destination.
Zane growled as he watched the Red Dragon sail off and he got on board a sailing boat and rowed himself to the nearest port. Aran went into his quarters and settled down in his red leather chair and looked out at the sea and let out a deep sigh as he interlocked his fingers and rested his head on his fists lost deep in thought.
A knock came at his cabin door and he spun round and said “Come in” Jeniza poked her head around the door and said with a hint of concern in her voice “You alright Cap’n?” Aran looked at Jeniza and nodded his head “Aye Jeniza I’m fine, there’s nothing to worry about, get the crew to Alasga, the sun is about to rise so I shall sleep until the night” Jeniza nodded her head as she left the cabin and Aran went over to his bed and clicked his fingers and heavy black curtains draped over all the windows blocking any light that could come in as he slid into bed and fell asleep.
