"Good Lord! I have long heard of stories about you and your spectral ship. Thankfully, they are all but a hoax.""Is that so? Why? Do you mind telling me what are people saying about me back there in the land nowadays?""All sort of horror one could possibly imagine.""They said the captain of the ship is one that would give you a hellish experience of a lifetime The embodiment of dread.""Hmm... I believe we are talking about a different captain then. I hate being the man to break this to you, but there is plenty of us in the sea. I am not the only one sailing with a ghostly ship in this vast water. There was this one before me with a far notorious reputation than mine. He who add an agreeable sense of macabre in any delirium; if I might add. But consider yourself blessed that ye never had dealings with him who collects the souls of sailors and binds them to service before his ship. Maybe you've heard of it?—the infamous Alec Romanov and his accursed ghost ship. The same terrible ves
This was how they would spend their leisure time. It was evident from how naturally they carried themselves that they sure knew how to have a good time. Whenever they have free time, they would basically talk, and talk some more about everything under the sun for days on end; including but not limited to their fetishes about women in general, and also about their dream of drinking all day long as well as going on various adventures, typical men desires.Likewise, whenever they would talk about these things, one who kept their eyes peeled for changes in reaction would be quick to notice the gleam of excitement in their eyes. Actually, it would take a blind person not to see the shine reflecting from those pair of orb-like peepers.On the flip side, it was already established in our previous chapters that the captain only have one rule he wanted to impose strictly for the group to follow and it was something he advised them to take seriously. Otherwise, they were told that chances were
“Alright, now that you two were able to come to terms with each other. I guess, it’s about time we focus on searching for Monami. We still have half an hour before sundown.”Audrey made this announcement and the two turned their head in her direction to listen.“What are you guys up to?”Allan questioned because he was the first one to spot them walking to the exit.“We got to find Monami,”Niccoli explained hoping that the other party would understand. However, Allan was not happy to hear this. His worry was that they will end up getting in trouble if he would allow Niccoli to leave.
Meanwhile, after walking for a few meters and crossing several corridors, Audrey arrived near the deck.“Monamiiiii… Minggg… swswswswsw…”Albeit lame, the girl tried her best to call out the attention of the missing cat. However, her pet hushed her all of sudden.[Shhh...Someone’s out there. We have to hide, quick!]With Nero’s prompt warning, they were able to conceal their presence just in time when two of the crew members passed by."Once we get rid of the curse, we will be rich men and you can buy an eye that actually fits and is made of glass."They heard one of
It did not take that long before Samuel and his company left the area. However, Audrey remained tucked under the sit, her mind was blank but her eyes were wide open as though she experienced a great shock. It was her cat, who first came out from their hiding. He looked all over the place to check if there was anyone around and only when he confirmed that there was no one, did he ask his master to get out from under the chair.[We’re clear for now. Get out this instant so we could leave before someone came passing back here.] Nero insinuated to his master. At the same time, he stayed alert because it was pitch black out there. The darkness never posed any problems in the past. They used not to be bothered by it, but now, it was an entirely different story. After seeing what they saw, the lack of light in the surrounding seemed to turn the surrounding atmosphere dreadful. Thus, the little black cat tried his utmost to strain his pair of eyes so he could see through the darkened corridor
The next day, the truth was finally made known to every party currently present on the ship. At first, everyone was mind blown which was within normal expectations. But since they knew that the crew meant them no harm albeit their frightful appearances, Audrey and her friends eventually learned to come to terms with these minor differences. “To be able to observe your great captainship firsthand not to mention being able to experience how it got to feel boarding your legendary spectral ship was truly an extraordinary opportunity.”Steve still could not bring his eyes to believe that he finally met the infamous captain of the ghost ship who he only come to know through the stories passed down to generations of mariners by word of mouth.To say that he was beyond astonishment was an underestimation. On the other hand, Captain Styles and his crew were caught off guard because they did not expect that their ‘coming out’ would be well received. They were at a loss for words to say.“It’s
“I still can’t believe we are finally here.”Audrey was still a little breathy when she muttered this under her breath. Her eyes were fixated on a far-off distance as she was watching the dark silhouette of Shamrock start to bleed into a more solid figure, and its outline got clearer as their sail neared the horizon.This would be their second time coming in close proximity to the said landmark; their first was ultimately that one incident just when right before they were attacked by the sea monster.At that time, a series of unexplainable events hindered them from successfully reaching Shamrock; one of which was the sudden formation of a raging tempest that foundered their ship. After that, they were taken by Kraken and the rest was history.But now looking back, Audrey and the others had arrived at a single conclusion, more likely, someone was pulling the strings from behind.“I bet if it were not for Alec Romanov and his beast, we have already made it halfway through our quest by n
“Alright, now,, let me educate you on how to get past Shamrock and cross to it safely.”Captain Styles started and Audrey and the others pricked their ear to listen attentively to everything that the other party was about to say next. They were unwilling to miss out on even the slightest detail of it. In their mind, they were thinking that the pointers were important and could come in handy if they wanted to survive the island.“You should have figured out by now that a magic array was set up around the vicinity of Isle of De Los.”Everyone nodded when they heard this. Exactly just like that captain’s words the group pretty much arrived at this conclusion already.“That island holds great treasure that should not be allowed outside the normal world, nor something that just anyone could have access to because either way, it would spell trouble to humankind in general.”The group have no idea what direction of his explanation was Captain Styles was going but since they trusted him, they
