Edward was slowly regaining himself, the fatigue that came from a near-death experience still hanging on his shoulders like a fresh weight. Still, the breeze as the ship cut through the waves did bring a smile to his face. Near-death had been a fair price. His crew was going to get paid. They...

Even if Seyah did not know exactly what was wrong with Edward, her ritual unknowingly had the desired effect of saving his life. The winds had abandoned him, only momentarily, but that was all the time needed for him to go unconscious because of a lack of oxygen, by the time it came back, his...

Through the shroud of darkness that was taking him, Edward could vaguely hear someone screaming out Captain to him. Was that Bean? They really needed to work on deepening his voice. Still, it was nice to be called Captain, it had a nice ring to it. By now the oxygen deprivation had fully gotten...

Edward just stood there as he watched their ship quickly begin to put distance between them and their pursuers. He could feel the wind whipping through his hair as a broad smile spread out onto his face, he had done it again. Suddenly his merriment was cut short as he fell to the ground...

Edward was busy. A cutlass whistled by his ear only to follow up slicing dangerously close to his neck as Edward scrambled to dodge backwards. The Captain lashed out with his own attacks, but being on the back foot made them poorly balanced and destined for failure. He was finally pushed to...

Edward continued to direct the ship, largely by shouting directions that his helmsman Bean would quickly follow. He was content to remain there as he watched the battle below them but was forced to draw his own sword as one of the boarding party had managed to slip through and head directly for...

The sounds of fire immediately registered in Edward's ears as fire was easily one of the most dangerous substances on a ship, but by the time he whipped his head around to look, Seyah was already moving to combat the problem with some of the free sailors joining to help. He sighed in relief...

Edward was already nodding along in agreement with Seyah's suggestion. That was certainly where the behemoths would be put to best use. "Thank you, we won't let them pin us in, but a few will likely be able to at least send a few sailors aboard by luck or magic, even as we pass them. I would...

Edward was only just now noticing the black tears and he quickly wiped them away before blinking several times to make sure he was seeing properly. "Right, um...Bean, light the smoke barrels!" "Threw them overboard, Ed." Edward wanted to curse but just nodded as that had likely been the...

Edward wasn't sure at what point his vision went black, or when the ringing arrived in his ears. All he knew was that when he came back to, the ship was on the other side of the chains and now they faced an entire blockade. His body relaxed, only realizing that his entire body tensing up had...

"We will be. Just hold on." Edward gripped the railing as he looked out over the ship, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He was whispering desperately under his breath. Seyah may have caught only some of the words. "Please...life or death here...You know I love you...Whatever you...

Edward looked up from where he had moved over to tie off a rope before cursing under his breath at what he saw. Seyah was right, but he had no easy way of dropping that chain and he doubted that any guards would be willing to drop the chain with such heightened security. "I'll handle...

"Not nearly as depressing. You seem to have dealt with shit people. I just dealt with dumb people...A story for after this." As soon as his feet hit the wood of the docks, a wave of confidence surged back into the young man, and within moments his crew had spotted him as he heard yells and the...

It was the same old story, a life was ruined because of some dumb tradition that people probably didn't even know where the tradition came from at this point. To think, there were people so callous out there that they could sentence a child to what was basically death. "Well, we are survivors...

Edward snorted out a chuckle before nodding along, "Good to know, but I don't make a habit of bad-mouthing people who can do whatever you just did." The last thing he needed was to wake up in his bed vomiting blood or something. He held them up for the briefest moment until Ed seemed to be...
