The Quest For Truth....
 

First, I should speculate a few things about my father.

1. I did not know his real name.
2. He was a little bit shy.
3. He was DEFINITELY not a maniac.

Chapter 14
The Quest for Truth



Now, he was right in front of me, and I had attempted to kill him.... right when I saw his face I went...

Father...

When he heard those words, his eyes turned small, they turned into a blue shade... the blue color that I remembered so long ago when I felt his loving stare, when I had no where else to go, he was always there, always there to love me and with those blue eyes...

Then, as if he had broken out of a trance, they turned back into the darkness... where they were pure black, so black I couldn't see his pupil.

Then he screams at me:

Jolly Roger shall have your soul you scallywag. You remember Rott? He is twenty times stronger than him! And even more!!! You shall pay the debt to him for spying into our conversation, and eavesdropping, the debt of servitude for 1000 years in his crew. Being undead has its benefits.....

When he finished that word, he took out a pistol, shiny, triple barrel pistol that was a golden color, had three long tubes for bullets to be put in, and curved outwards in a fashion to where they still aimed right, but looked incredibly amazing at the design.

And then.. he shot.... he pulled the trigger and shot right at me... I dodged luckily just by sidestepping into the right quickly, and I could feel the swoosh of the bullet driving past me, and hurtling into a swamp tree and surprisingly, it went completely through the tree, leaving a nice, circular hole left right into the tree.

As I am astonished at this, I remember the other two barrrels that were not fired yet, as I turn I see him click the trigger once more, with a silent click, making that pistol probably the perfect tool for an assassin, it fired another bullet, and it went hurdling into my legs, and I jump, as fast and as hard as I possibly could. I brought my knees straight to my chest in an instant, and I see the bullet pumble the dirt right under me causing a small, but solid circular hole right into the ground.

I then look up and see him aiming for my chest, and he clicks one more time, with that silent trigger and this time, it was from the center, now there was more of a kick to it, and it had a more explosive smoke come out of it as well, so when it fired, it came straight for me, luckily I dodged to the right this time, but when I see it crash right into the tree, it crashes so hard, the tree starts to crack, and then the wood cracks, then the tree collapses into my direction.

I quickly take a roll right into the stretch of land next to me and land safely on my feet, right when I positioned myself I unsheathed my sword and got ready to engage with my attack... my father.

I see the black movement following it, the black streak that made me feel much mores tronger, and gave me the sensation that I could conquer the world.

He goes for a reload, but I'm too quick, I quickly hit the top of his hand with my sword hilt, a sword hilt made out of condensed lava by the looks of it, and then a layer of steel and iron right on top of it, making it considerably heavy, but extremely painful to whatever it hits.

He drops his gun and then I use my left arm to grab is gunning arm, and then I pull and smash the side of his head with my sword hilt, knocking him backwards and making him land a few feet away from me, and near the spot where Jolly was summoned.

He then says in a weak, but strong voice at the same time:

Impressive child, but do not underestimate my powers, the voodoo powers are more powerful and mysterious than you believe. And you shall be a subject to voodoo right now...

I then see small lines of blue coming out of the ground around me, the streaks of blue then begin to swirl around me, and then he takes out another gun from his other pocket, which was unexpected and unseen, seeing as it was in his coat the whole time, and then fires straight at the blue streaks of line surrounding me.

When it made contact, a blue buzz of lightning striked me almost everywhere.

My legs, my head, my arms, my chest, my stomach, my feet, pretty much everywhere, going at light speed shots and each shot making me fall lower and lower to the ground, each fall not only crippling me physically, but mentally as well.

As I start to fall lower, and gasp for air, something unexpected happens, a dagger flies straight through the blue streak of line, buzzing right besides my air, nearly hitting me but leaving me unharmed, that is except for the blue lightning that just shot me.

As I turn around, I see Captain Del, and the crew all in weapons out, and then I hear a grunt from the direction of where my father was, and see Potions Pirate grabbing his arms and tying them up, making him uncapable of reacting and reflexing to us.

As Captain Del runs over to me, I see the crew take out their swords and charge right at my father, my father then whispers, in a voice almost silent, but enough for us to hear him clearly.

Rise my undead, rise from your graves and steal these souls to become a walking beings on this Caribbean once more....

And with that final word, a hand shot straight out of the ground grabbing a leg of William Goldwalker's fine boot, and another was poking out and grabbed his other leg, and then shackles started to emerge from the same area, entangling William and making him motionless, and incapable to counter to anything that would attack him.

When that binding was completely, the binding was sent to everybody, except Captain Del and me, as we completely jumped off and dodged the hands, and then Del took out his pistol and shot the hands that were attempting to reach us.

Then my father laughs, an evil smirk on his face, as he backs off to the houses, the undead start to rise, and I see all of them rising quickly and swiftly, each one taking out its weapon, whether chains or swords, or whether a chain shot or a grenade, it was all there.

As Del runs over and shoots the living daylights out of all of the shackles, the hands and bonds are released quickly as well, and then they each take out their sword, and then charge completely at all the undead, each one fighting his or her own battle, and jumping up, dodging, parrying, sidestepping, doing every one of the sword skills and techniques that a pirate should have.

As I see Del fighting a more fancier looking undead, with a nice fancy hat i see him block a cleave headed straight for his head, and then he curves the sword inward to hit the undead hand, and then takes the sword and does a quick twirl, twirls the swords and does a double backstab straight into the center of the undead, making it fall to the ground, and disintegrate.

Then he launches the undead sword right at the head of another attempting to stab Andrew, and it also dies in a quick and swiftful movement, seeing a soul disintegrate into the clouds.

Then with a final push from the crew, there are no more undead left, no more undead left to battle, and as I look in the direction where my father was, he was gone, disappeared completely, out of sight.

As Delpadros runs to Captain Del, he says:

The man has escaped, he's escaped during all the conflict with our undead, what shall we do with Dog?

Hmm, let me handle it, everybody else, back to King's Arm for some rum and rest.

The crew trudges over to the tavern, while Captain Del was walking to me.

Who was that man, why were you here? And was there any useful information?

I replied, slowly but firmly:

He was, my father..... I came because i saw him in the dark coat he was, and I could sense he wasn't supposed to be here, and as for information, Roger's invading Tortuga to gain the Abu Nar Clan weapons shipment tomorrow and after tomorrow to pickup both shipments...

Your father is with Roger?

He died from the EITC during a warship battle, but now he's back, I don't know why he's here, but I feel horrible for trying to kill him...

I see, well, if Jolly is coming to see us tomorrow, you should begin what you need to begin.

Begin what?

Your quest for truth.

I think that was my longest chapter so far. It was a heck of a chapter, and I hope that since you came, you read and enjoyed my first 13 chapters. As usual please rant/complain/enjoy/compliment my story.

Sorry bout how late I am, but school and etc etc....

Chapter 15
Preparations

Noon, day of the first shipment, Captain Del's crew are all huddled around a table in an unoccupied house.

Delmaria first speaks:

EITC are shipping the first shipment of Abu Nar Clan Daggers from the New World at about 4. The Invasion should take place an hour after that, and we'll be ready, Dog what's this I heard about those Shadow Gators coming to attack us?

I quickly glanced at him and responded with confidence in my voice:

From what I've heard, they'll send the gators before the Invasion actually begins, to weaken our defenses and also have the element of surprise when they arrive as well, now I know that Roger is going to get the shipment and see that it is safely transported by himself. Probably wants to make sure nothing is going on, after he displays that, I would guess he would rise from the water and finish us off himself. So what's the basic plan to defend Del?

As the crew shifts there staring from me to Del, he continues:

First of all, we'll have Potions Pirates put our blades into some voodoo mystique of a liquid, and fill up our pistols with the same liquid, to make sure they have enhanced power and feeling to it, actually, Potions Pirates can do that now.

Captain Del quickly glances at Potions Pirates and she hurriedly grabbed all the weapons that were set on the table next to the talking table and walks outside the door, probably heading to Lucinda to bathe the weapons in the voodoo concoction.

Anyways, we'll have Andrew, William and Delpadros take the right area of Tortuga.

Captain Del throws a rugged old map onto the table and opens the cloth, revealing a perfect map of Tortuga in it's whole, marked with merchant symbols, like the gunshops and blacksmiths all around the island, along with basic paths and where barricades are set in the event of an invasion by the enemy.

Captain Del circles the right area below, with a red mark, hopefully not from gator blood. He speaks:

And then Dog and I will cover the Shipwright barricade. Potions Pirate will set up a flames barricade at the Tortuga Graveyard. Jack Firesteel should be at the West Wall barricade to protect the Faithful Bride. Wisdom go to the East Wall barricade and protect that barricade from the oncoming undead from the Wildwoods. Are we clear?

Aye Captain!

As Potions Pirate walks back in she sets down all the weapons, and Delmaria says for her to head to the back of padres to form a fire wall against the undead.

She quickly nods and the crew walks to the wapons stand, and takes their personal effects and belongings with them and heads over to their designated areas to guard.

As the sun starts to die down a little, you could hear a howl, a loud howl in the distance, at the sound of that, the swamp starts to have a massive stampede going through, with the swish and the swash and the water jumping up and down.

You could hear the moans and groans coming, Roger was coming with his gators, and then lightning struck from the shores of Tortuga, the skies were turned green the next second, and the skeleton ship came into the harbor, with lightning striking all over the ship. You could hear a voice...

Take Tortuga ye dogs! And do not let Jack Sparrow get away, savvy! Go go go!!!

As the undead start to rise, either from the watery grave or from the hard land on Tortuga, the gators are coming out at the swamp at the same time, each one with ferocious power, and probably could kill in one bite.

As the undead unsheathe their swords, and get ready for battle, the shipment for the daggers is right there on the dock, secretly hiding behind a huge rock landform.

Pure chaos, in every corner, just about to happen, how are we gonna win this one.

I hear a voice next to me, and I realize it was Captain Del's.

We'll see Dog, we'll see.....

1000th post woot! Also I apologize for the lack of action, this was a transitional chapter.

Chapter 16
Jolly Roger's Lust For Power

The gators were first to attack us, rising from the swamps and battling it out with the path to the Faithful Bride. The dark black hides, and the cold, dark eyes they had were enough to put even the savviest pirate into a haunted and scared position.

The gators were only concentrating their attack power onto the one barricade, while also having the undead attacking at unison, causing a battle royale to commence. The bullets flying, the hard, cold metal of a sword clanging with either bone or another blade, and the dirt being thrown into the air by pirates, gators and undead, blinding anybody who dared jump into the storm of dirt.

As more pirates who wish to help Captain Jack Sparrow and push back Jolly Roger, they start to set off fuses, the fuses of grenades, and started to throw them at the undead and gators with all their might. When the grenades made contact, well, a grenade and an undead being made out of bone is not a good sight. The dust and splinters flying everywhere, causing shrapnel to pierce lightly into a man's skin, and just lightly grazing the barricade.

As the barricade is being incredibly well defended, the shipwright barricade is having a mass amount of undead warriors plodding into the beach, with a set goal, find and kill Jack Sparrow, along with anybody else who dared get in the way. Simple, but a deadly command that was.

The barricade is swarmed with undead coming in every direction where water stood, and as they start to near us, a few grenadiers throw those explosives. The shrapnel exploding and even having a bone to smack right across a skeleton head, crushing it into splinters, therefore ending that undead life, in a quick but not so gruesome manner.

Del and I then rush full foward, all out force at the undead army, screaming a battle cry meant to strike fear into the opponents, apparently fear was not part of a skeleton's emotions. We run into the mob of skeletons, and start going separate ways, Del going right, and I am going left. We obliterate any thing in our way, whether a piece of dirt trying to land in our eyes to a huge skeleton carrying a broadsword with an evil intent to kill us. Each skeleton fell one after another, mindlessly falling and having their soul turn into the skys and heavens. Then, just as if it all stopped at one sudden motion, each undead skeleton, turned and ran back to the seas, retreating with a sudden emotion of fear.

Then, with a sudden shake of the ground beneath us, all the undead skeletons, along with the gators were gone. Out of sight, completely gone and just a trace of smell left with their bone dust still tinging the air.

Then, a mass sighting of "Powder Keg Runners" as they were called in the taverns and all over the Caribbean were spotted, replacing the mass sighting of undead skeleton warriors, the massive skeletons, two times bigger than the actually regular sized skeletons, carrying a huge keg with them, set to explode while they died.

As each pirate realizes what he's seeing, whether it took a few seconds to register or a few minutes, which would be a deadly fortune with anybody who took that long to realize, explosion equals one thing, death.

As each keg starts to run, each pirate takes out his pistol, whether on the left or right, each fires at the keg, aiming for that one sweet spot, where the explosion would not be fatal for the pirates, but fatal for the skeletons.

As I aim and fire at the lit fuse, right below it, the skeleton's sweet spot for a mass explosion, I click and fire.

The ominous clicking sound is heard, and my hand has the kick from a true gunpowder shot, the bullet almost slowing down in time, right before contact was made with the Powder Keg Runner.




One shot, and it was a total nightmare for any person, alive or dead. When the first keg was ignited, almost instantaneously the explosion took place, erupting from that center spot, and spreading the flames to each keg next to it, left and right. And after that, the kegs went off one by one, then two by two, then a rapid chain of explosions following, causing death to each undead warrior next to them.

Ten seconds was all it took to cause a huge cloud of smoke to surround, engulfing us and making us unable to see clearly.

Which was exactly what Roger wanted. A few seconds after the smoke stilled, nearly blinding us Roger spoke:

Fools! While you play with my undead friends, I shall steal the first, and last shipment of Abu Nar Clan Daggers from the New World to give to my undead army and myself! The Caribbean will feel my wrath, as the pirates will never experience a power and fury like mine! And if any if ye dogs thought that there was another shipment, you are wrong! Addle-minded fools you are! Now suffer the consequences with my undead army!

Del and I are instantly off running past the smoke, using instinct to try and run to the end of the docks, and jump into the water.

As we see the nearing EITC ship, with two EITC Guard bodies in the water, we climb up the ladder, creeping along with it trying to get on unnoticed.

Gladfully and thankfully, we have the actual smoke behind us while we try to sneak up the ladder, making sure Roger does not see us nor hear us.

As we land on our feet after the climb up from the ladder, we see the back of Jolly Roger, trying to bark orders at his undead servants to move the daggers to the ship, which was actually right near us with grappling hooks shot right at the ship penetrating through the wood.

As we unsheathe our swords and pistols to prepare for battle, the sound of a sword coming out of it's scabbard was a hiss, enough to make Jolly Roger turn around and give us a scornful look. Making him say:

Think you can stop me? Finding me is a much different matter than fighting me, and winning! You can not stop my lust for power, as the Caribbean will be under my control! Raven's Cove has already falled from my power! The main islands will be next!!!

Raven's Cove?..... What could that mine I wondered. I had never heard or seen this "Raven's Cove."

There's time later to think about that, that is, if there is a later....

And as Del and I rush to engage Jolly Roger, we begin our battle for our lives, the odds probably stacked against us.

A stash of New World Daggers for a life time of servitude for Jolly Roger, great stakes I thought.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________________

Sorry I couldn't release this earlier, school attacking me. Stay tuned next time for our next chapter!

Excellent chapter, Dog! Thanks for choosing to include me in such a gripping story. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Apologies for a late post, but here we go!

Chapter 17
Friend or Foe

As Captain Del and I rush towards Jolly Roger, with the explosions in the background and the adrenaline rushing through our veins, we go full force into the scene of battle, to confront and become victorious against Jolly Roger.

As quick as we had rushed, he had disappeared.

He was gone, nowhere in sight, but his voice still lingered in the air and spoke to us.

Your power... is weak.... Your power shall be tested upon the fury of this one skeleton.... beware the might.... of this ghastly demon......

Delmaria then shouted:

Get over here you scallywag! Only an addle-minded fool would run away from two people! You are a scallywag and bilge rat!

Jolly Roger replies harshly back to Captain Del:

My power is nearly unmatched to you fools, thinking you can win is a foolish dream. I shall give you a chance to win the New World Daggers, by confronting the demon before you. If you win I shall leave, but be warned I shall come back for blood, particularly yours!

Suddenly, out of the thin air a shadowy demon appears before both of us. It was skinny, and had short arms, obviously a femalish look as she had a petite body frame and small stature in size. Assuming it was a she, she had a singed shirt on, and pants that were destroyed and ripped, the buttons being pulled out and the strings being ripped apart, along with the no boots.

Del and I recoiled at the sight of this.... thing, and then when we examined it more closely, it looked more humanish, but the eyes, the eyes were a dark red, as of blood color, a dangerous color.

Then, all of a sudden the demon starts to rush at us, having a sword materialize into her hand out of thin air, and the sword was a curved sword, curved and had spikes on the end of her sword with the curve. The blade, did not like normal, but more cursed instead. Whatever it was, I had no time to find out.

As she approached us quicker, Del shouted,

Go right! I'll go left! Go around her and make sure you stay whole!

As I hear his words, I wield my sword, remembering the power surge into my hands, giving me the strenght I needed. I quickly rolled to one side, making sure I was out of range from the spiked sword's range. As I regain my vision and steady it, I see Captain Del battling it out with the demon.

A thrust by the demon, the sudden clang as I recognize that Captain Del had blocked the thrust, and the familiar sliding of blades as he puts his blade into a circular motion, rotating his body and hips smashing the sword into the ground and doing a return rotation, only this time aimed towards a rib.

Suddenly, any idea that that was going to work was suddenly diminished, as he was quickly dueling it out with the demon once more as she suddenly got the sword out without a hint of suffering or use of energy and started to press upon Del once more.

Del looked like he was struggling with each blow, as each blow started to get quicker and quicker, and Del became slower and slower.

I knew I had to intervene, so I rolled towards the demon, and landed squarely on my feet, and then using my hips and arm, I used all my force to stab directly at the demon's stomach.

The demon screamed, a screech that made our ears throb in pain for a few seconds, and then she took her hand, grabbed the tip of the blade and twisted it, making it so that I was unable to pull the sword out.

Then, she turned her head, a full turn so that the handle of the blade had left my hand, and as it turned it had the hilt of the blade whack Captain Del straight into a rib, making a familiar cracking sound as metal made contact with bone.

Del dropped his sword, clutching his rib and fell down to the floor, making sure blood didn't spray out, causing the situation to become worse.

The demon had those red eyes directly looking at me, straight at the face where I could see the blood red eyes studying me, looking me over, probably to figure out the best way to make me suffer and kill me.

In a heartbeat, she was attacking once more with that spiked sword, and as I tried to step sideways to avoid it the blade that was coming in a cleaving motion, she raises her left leg and kicks me clean in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me.

I may have been kicked in the stomach, but I wasn't going down without a fight, as I take out the pistol that was dangling, I aimed it straight at her hand, the sword in her hand that shined with the green skies and moonlight, and I fired.

I fired, and I hit my target.

The sword leaping into the air as the demon howled in pain, her eyes turned a dazzling crystal blue, very dazzling to any human's eyes.

It spoke two words...

Help me....

There you go!

Nice chapter! :)

Nice one Dog. Can I be in your story too? :) :D xD :bookishfj7: :piratewheelgo2:

Chapter 18
Resurrection

The two words made me ponder, made me wonder, if this was truly a minion of Jolly Roger, or a harmless soul turned wrong by the cursed voodoo of Jolly Roger himself.

Obviously by the voice, it was a girl, and now as I begin to think about that, my train of thought is suddenly cut, as I realize that her eyes had turned back to the blood red, and the sword had dropped only feet behind me.

As she begins to take a swing with me with her left hand, I duck instinctively, and run towards the spiked blade. As I sprint to the blade, the demon suddenly has realization dawn on her, I was heading towards the blade and there was no way she could stop me.

As I grab the blade, a sudden shock of energy runs through my veins, and I feel my breathing steady to a healthy pace, I turn and face her, glaring her in the eyes and getting into my sword position, right foot in front with my right hand with the blade ahead of my left hand.

As the demon rushes me, I feel a sudden shock of lightning appear right on the blade. As I feel the energy run through the blade, I go for a lunge right at the center of the demon's stomach.

The effect was almost instantaneous. The screech was a loud screech, and her skeletal body form started to shimmer and reflect off the moonlight. Her skeletal body, gone and now her human body was left in the mist.

For a few seconds, I was mystified by the turn of events, then I knew that I had saved this skeleton from an eternity with Jolly Roger.

The few seconds I was mystified were the only seconds I would be, as Jolly Roger appears next to the stash of Abu Nar Clan Daggers.

What?! Impossible! You defeated her, the demon of mass destruction with a simple lunge of her blade! This is undefinable! The Thunderspine Blade should not be so powerful against everybody including its own owner! You win this time pirate! But next time, I shall be the one to confront you, and it won't be so easy! The legend of Dragons may not be so legendary the next time we see each other!!!

As he begins to disappear in a shadow of mist, the human girl begins to mutter a few words:

Save me from his clutches, go to Romany Bev, I am your only key if you want to know about the Legend of the Dragons and repelling Jolly Roger, now GO!

As the mist covers her as well, I begin to realize that this ship would probably go down, and I might go down with it.

As they both disappear, I jump off the ship diving into the water and hear a lightning bolt crackle right behind me.

As I flee to the shores, the skeleton ship disappears, and I am left pondering what is the fate of the Caribbean... and what the girl meant, and what the Legend of Dragons were.

Transitional chapter more like that, sorry if this was boring

Short, but effective. I like were the story is transfering over too. Well done :)

Sorry at the incredibly slow rate, but school keeps jumping on me.... Also, you'll notice I don't use the same way I usually do the talking, I'm putting them in quotes now.

Chapter 18
The Legend

As I flee to the shores, I realize that I left Captain Del all the way back at the ship.

When I sight the shores, I see the familiar captain with his whole entire crew around him, leaving me just flabbergasted.

When I swim up to the shores, I see the whole entire crew leave the captain, and then the whole entire crew sprinting to engulf me.

I get a swarm of questions at the same time, like, "What happened?!" I also got a few "Are you OK?" and then a few "Did you get the daggers?!"

As the mess of rambling questions continue, Captain Del runs over and breaks up the entire crowd away from me, so I can have some breathing space. I was quite glad as I was feeling quite claustrophobic.

Then Captain Del speaks "so Dog, what did I miss when I was knocked out on the ground?.."

I replied with, "well.... you just missed me fight a pirate demon that was a girl that had an ultrapowerful sword that can kill nearly anybody in one touch, but I bravely repelled her and saved your life Oh yeah, and I also got Jolly Roger to leave without taking the daggers."

Captain Del replies with "alright then, did the pirate demon tell you anything of importance?"

"Yes she did, she said for me to go to Romany Bev, to learn about the Legend of Dragons."

As I said the last word, Captain Del's face turned dark and cold, it was like a white piece of snow being covered by dark pieces of dirt, gradually collecting and collecting until it showed fear and hopelessness.

"Dog, into my Captain's Quarters, NOW!"

As Captain Del walks to his quarters extremely quickly, I am left following him, trying to make up for the lost few seconds that I let him go to his quarters.

As I board the ship, the familiar scents of soot and gunpowder filled my nostrils. I remembered the seven seas and the salt in the seas that had tinged the air. My thought was broken as I heard a piercing, "DOG! Get over here already!"

As I hurriedly run to the Captain's Quarters, I walk inside and shut the door snugly.

Inside I see maps with red marks on them, probably leading to a sunken treasure chest. I see what looks like to be a few voodoo doll heads to ward off the evil of the Caribbean. There was even a few globes that the Captain probably used to navigate. And of course, he had his rum. The room had smelled like a murky cavern, but with a tinge of rum and dry paper.

"Dog, do you want to know the Legend of Dragons?... This tale is not for the weak, and if Jolly Roger is going to harness these powers of Dragons, then the Caribbean will surely be doomed and under his control."

As I nod quickly, Captain Del also nods showing that he saw the sign and will continue the story.

"The Legend of Dragons.... Dragons were the most powerful voodoo creatures of all time. Dragons had the thickest of all hides, and could repel even the strongest cannonballs we have today if you had struck in the wrong place. Also, legend has it is that the only way to kill a Dragon without having to slice of all its limbs and stabbing it at the heart, is a clean pistol shot to the spine, but the rib cage protects that bone, and then they have another rib cage to separate that bone, in order to gain the highest protection possible. Plus, you can't see past the hide, so that made it all the more difficult.

Anyways, the Dragons were the first inhabitants of the Caribbean, they all served under the Dragon King, and they all had voodoo powers beyond imagination. Each dragon was gifted, they could either breath fire to smolder and erupt their enemies into flames, ice to freeze solid their enemies, or even lightning to shock their enemy and doom them to their deaths. But, the most powerful of all of the breathing types, was pure darkness. Pure darkness was breathed, but it drains the life force of whatever it hits, and also making them unable to move. Only people with a stronger willpower or a stronger voodoo force can break the darkness away from them. As of this day, that has never happened.

The Dragons inhabited these islands and were the only ones that were here at this time. That is, until the the Exploration of Pirates began. Pirates were being sent away from most lands for their evil deeds, doomed to ride the seven seas until they would die, but after experiencing trauma, madness and even hallucinations.

One pirate made it onto the shores of Tortuga, where we are today. The pirate had a musket with him, loaded with one shot, and had two other shots in his bag. As he walks onto shore, a massive Dragon that was even bigger than the shipwright seemed to fly right in and slammed right into the ground causing an earthquake to shake the man off of his feet.

Now this is where the man got lucky, as he fell back, he had accidentally clicked the trigger of his musket and it fired straight into the Dragon's spine, causing the Dragon to begin to wobble and then collapse right there, as it's bones were cracked and crushed.

What he didn't know was that the spine bone if cracked, would crack the entire body's bones and then if the spine was destroyed then there was no hope for the Dragon's survival.

The pirate had sent a shocking wave through the Dragons... retreat or die. They had no idea that it was a mere matter of luck.

While they were flying over the Caribbean, a strange essence robbed them of their life force, each and everyone was dying, quickly but silently, until each and everyone died, into what is now called, the Hinterseas.

Familiar? Well the Hinterseas is home to the nastiest ships of all, the Corsairs, Behemoths, Black Harbingers, Death Omens, Dreadnoughts, and even the dreaded Juggernauts.

Now, if Jolly Roger returns the Dragons from their eternal sleep, then we may be facing a war that we can not win. It is now up to a brave band of pirates to stop Jolly Roger for good, until the whole pirate race is wiped out, completely."
