The Crimson Hand

Post by Egeanin » Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:06 am

"HARD TO PORT! Cannon's four and six fire on my command!....... FIRE!" "That's it boys and girls, BOARDING CREW PREPARE TO BOARD!"

The Crimson One, sailed closer to the disabled ship. Already men and women were moving up and down the deck, some were already heading aboard the ship. The Captain of the Crimson One and the leader of the Crimson Hand was sitting by the wheel watching with a smirk on her face. This would be the third ship in two weeks, business was good.

BOOM!

Egeanin jump as a Cannon ball hit the side of her deck, looking back she saw the source. A large ship, was closing in on her, it must be this ships protector she thought. "Northy GET THE BOARDING CREW BACK ABOARD! Voki set sail for Vespian Reef, that ship can't follow us in the shallows! Well... what are you waiting for MOVE IT!"

The Deck came alive once more, boarders looked back at their ship as it was was beginning to take off, panic set in and they drop everything their swords and loot and ran jumping hoping they would make it back aboard. The few who didn't just landed in the water, Egeanin cursed and yelled out orders but already it was to late, they were in the water and ship was already to far.

'Cannons Two and Three... FIRE! Sink that ship! It might stall the ship" Cannonballs tore the ship to pieces, the people on boarder were driving off into water. She hoped that her pirates in the water could blend into the shipwreck people just maybe they would survive. Looking back she saw that the ship had stop chasing her and was not turning back to pick the people out of the water.

"Captain!" a young boy about the age of seventeen came up to her. Voki was his name, his father was aboard a ship Egeanin had raided, He was killed in the raid. Egeanin found this boy in a closet, when she tried to get him to come out he lunged for her throat with a small blade, Egeanin was impressed so she took him into her crew.

"Yes Voki?" Egeanin was looking out at her crew not paying to much attention to the boy.

"Captain, we're taking on a lot of water, Deck E and D are filling with water. I had the crew members seal the doors they best they can but with the add weight we will lose speed, and the seal will slowly break"

Egeanin grunted and then looked up at her map. "Okay the helm, we'll sail for Vector four!"

The ship turned south, and Egeanin stopped and thought about what had just happened, this was the second time that ship had hit her, there wouldn't be a third!
