The Governor's predecessor
 

Giving my basically failing story last time, i decided to start my autobiography like so many people have done. So here we go again, please give me truthful comments.


Prolouge

Richard Cromwell had a royal family. It consitsed of a Governor of Port Royal, a Lady of the Carribbean, and a slightly wild brother. When he went to a meeting with his brother Henry, it turned out it was a trap. The skeletons had captured him and turned his poor brother into a skeleton. Richard ended up running, then swimming, until he came upon an island that had a swampy jungle, then steepled into snowy mountains. It was novel, yet strangely familiar. Then he recognized it. It was the place sailors called Cuba, which was filled with voodoo and mystics. He managed to find a bridge that seemed to lead into the heart of the jungle. He swam toward it, then realized his energy was gone, he passed out.

Comments? Anyone want to be in it? some rum would be nice too...:laughks2: sorry its kind of short more to come

Chapter 1

He woke in a smelly, cramped room. He groped around for a minute, then headed toward the door. When he was outside, he saw a woman petting a croc. He stared at this marvel for a moment, then talked to the woman.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Tia Dalma, Richard Cromwell." she replied.

He started at the mention of his name. He wondered if this person could teach him her powers.

"Yes I can teach you my power, Stealthy Cannoneer. This must be your new name so no pirates recognized your name. You will also need a hat."

She gave him a rough tricorne, it looked like nothing out of the ordinary.

"You must never take it off. It will help you to conduct your voodoo powers. So, let us begin your training. First we will start off with a simple weapon.

It is called a doll. First, you must target your powers on an object. Start with this alligator."

He focused his thoughts upon the alligator. He suddenly heared chanting somewhere from his mind. As he focused more, the chanting grew louder. Suddenly, the alligator had millions and millions of wasps around it. Then there was fire surrounding it. It turned on its belly, then died.

"Good,good! Your training is complete. Three things though.

One, here is a staff to cast your powers. Two, I have a crew and a ship waiting for you.

It isn't excatly the Golden Dawn, but will get you to Tortuga in order to find a new ship and expand your crew.

Three, keep the hat on at ALL TIMES!!" Then, with that, she disappeared with a puff of green smoke.

Stealth then went to the bridge, found the boat, and climbed aboard.

Chapter 2

The man was washed up on shore and had only one thing in his mind: rage. It grew so great, he nearly exploded with the pressure. He just lay there for a while, sitting there, plotting, planning, and finally got up. He walked around a bit and recognized the place it was his home of Tortuga. He stumbled around for a bit, while eventually walking right into a man with a very red beard.

"Watch where yer going mate!" the man shouted.

"I...sorry...I...enraged...need to find...that man...."he stuttered out.

"Come with me mate. Maybe we can sort yer ramblings with a pint of rum! My name be Red Beard by the way mate, on account of me red facial hair!"

The other man who was walking with this pirate, was named James Cromwell. He was brother to the high-ranking officer in the Royal Navy, who was rumoured to be come the new governor. James was very different though. He was the infamous pirate Henry Mcbones, the one who dealed with the devil, the townsfolk used to say.

"So, your enraged at a man? Revenge is a low-ranking business, mate. I tell you that now. 'Course where i came from," Red's face darkened, then resumed to his old spirit."So, can ya talk straight yet?"

"Aye, nothing like a old pint of rum to stop the ramblings." Henry said.

The whole tavern suddenly went silent. Johnny Mcvane waved his hand, and every single one of the people in the King's Arm Tavern took out their pistol and aimed at Henry.

Smiling faintly to himself, Henry stood up.

"You are looking at the pirate Henry Mcbones!" He then turned around, took out a fancy looking pistol, and shot Johnny Mcvane, who keeled over, dead. Everyone then turned and went back to their normal duties as if nothing happend.

Henry sat back down. Red was staring at him with a mixture of shock and slight amusement.

"So, Red, ya want to join my small crew?"

"Sure, mate. What are we going after?" Red asked.

"Not what. Who."

Henry leaned over and said something in Red's ear. All the blood drained from Red's face.

~~~~~~~~~

Shall I tell who they are going after. No.

Anywho, back to the story.
~~~~~~~~~

They went to Henry's ship Lightning Phoenix. Red was less than pleased.

"We are going after him in that scrap of metal?! Let me show my ship."

Red then led him to a beautiful 20-gun frigate. On the hull it was labeled Dark-blade Titan. The pair climbed aboard the ship. Henry took the wheel.

~~~~~~~~~

While they were sailing toward their destination, they came across a Navy Man-O-War. After breifly peppering the side with cannonballs, the duo boarded, and found what they where looking for.

Feel the suspense? Drinks? Go ahead and stare at this computer until a new chapter comes out. This pirate will laugh at you.:laughks2:

Thank you, SEAKING. by the way everyone some of the people who post will make it into the story.... if they want to.

Aye, another good chapter mate!! Looking forward to another... and while I do, pass the rum!!!!

The Meeting with The Feared
When the two men heard the racket going on down below, Red and Henry went down to investigate the curious cacophony.
“I wished this day would never come meeting this man. Yet for some reason, I know it would come.” Red whispered.
“Aye, right there with ya. Unfortunately, this my only chance of getting back my-“
Henry stopped abruptly, realizing he nearly gave it away.
“What, Henry? Save your what?” Red asked.
Henry said no more, despite Red’s constant badgering. When the pair finally got to the end of the stair, they saw a steel metal crate. Inside it was a man with a rather large black beard. He had alighted fuses that seemed to come out of his hair.
“Blackbeard, less commonly known as Edward Teach.” Henry said.

2
After some slight and inconsistent dragging along to the Dark-Blade Titan, Henry threw Blackbeard into the brig and went down for ‘questioning’.
Edward was flattened against the wall. A maniacal grin was across his already demented face.
“Do you know how I am?” he asked.
“Yes.
“How much fear you should have of me? For I killed your second cousin when he looked at me the wrong way?”
Henry took him by the collar of his coat, and threw him across the room, taking out his knife as he went along. “My second cousin isn’t why I’m here. I’m here because you know where something of mine is.”

Let’s stop for Henry there.
