Thank you very much for the review on here. I appreciate it dearly. Chapter 3 has begun. What will become of me? Well find out below
Chapter 3
A Deadly Gaze
As I wake up I find myself on the shores of Tortuga. I see Devil's Anvil across the ocean and start to become furious at myself.
I must have not strapped the sails down before I went to sleep last night. A careless mistake that I would not let happen again.
I walk down the dock and see that the sky is turning a tinge green. Very very strange indeed in what is happening. As I begin to ask a fellow mate or two on what the color means they did not know as well.
I walk up to a gypsy and ask her what the sky is doing. She introduced herself, Fabiola and told me that there is a curse about to happen. Head indoors before this minute strikes!
I took heed of her warning and ran inside King's Arm. I hear then a strange rumbling sound and then gunshots being fired. I decided to go outside. I look at the moon and see the same man I saw on the ship: Jolly Roger.
I look around and see millions of skeletons fighting the human townsfolk and trying to defeat them. I see skeletons and people falling left and right being taken to jail and then a skeleton swung at me.
I quickly parried and disarmed him. He took out a sword on fire. He then started swinging at me and I had to be very agile in order to dodge this. After what seemed like an hour I then got the sword out of his hand and on the tavern door..
I then swing and finish him off with a stab. He fell back and then disappeared. It seemed that killing the skeletons will stop the curse Fabiola was speaking of. I then started to run into the mob with the sword on door. As I took it out the broadsword started to go fire and then I dashed into that mob with all my fury.
I was swerving left and right dodging pistol fires and a swinging of swords. I got skeletons left and right and by the time I was at the dock most of the skeletons were down. Then disaster happened...
As a huge grenade lands next to me I take a huge ammount of damage to my body. I am almost down and as I look up I see a skeleton with a huge grenade in his hand. He throws another and luckily I get out of the way and it only blows some wood up off the dock and also hitting some skeletons making them disappear.
Then another fellow pirate hit the skeleton in the back and finished him off, making him disappear as well.
Then in an instance the curse was over. There were no more green skies or skeleton pirates. As quickly as it begun, it ended even quicker. As I stride over to fabiola and ask her what happened she told me this:
" That was 'The Curse Of The Muertos Moon,' a deadly curse Joly Roger has done to try to take over the caribbean. anybody caught in that deadly gaze will be turned into a skeleton, and then only turned back to human by being defeated in battle."
She then mentioned a few things about being indoors or on a ship to avoid the effects and that this can only happen during the tides are right, near Hallow's Eve. Hallow's Eve was ending tomorrow and I was glad for that. Never had I felt the sheer terror and adrenaline in my whole entire life.
I got back onto my ship and started to set sail again, to Devil's Anvil to meet somebody I was told to meet. The journey continued, and I was th eperson leading the journey, my own choices and my own fate will guide me all the way, whter death or freedom it is time to find out the truth, whether now or never.
