As the night approaches, Jungkook stares off to the north. Tae, I don't know what is to happen, but I hope that you know that I love you. I don't know how long it will take, but I will free us of this curse. Wait for me, My Love.

"Unfurl the sails." Jeon commands Namjoon.

"Unfurl the sails!" Namjoon repeats as he stands at the helm.

The crew repeats their Captain's command and prepares to sail to the island. Determination fills Jeon's main crew as they peer through the forming fog.

"The demon is coming for you." Jeon hisses as lightning cracks across the sky.

As the fog rolls onto the island, it stops at the base of the mountain as if there is a barrier prohibiting its further movement.

"He's coming!!!" The guard in the tower on the island calls out as the drumming in the depths booms through the night.

"The monster who brutally murdered my little brother is coming to meet his doom." Captain Min growls as he awaits the pirates.

A dark chuckle fills the eery night when Jeon hears Min's pathetic words. "I thought that you told me to kill whoever to save your youngest brother." The voice sneers.

"Where is my brother?!" Min screams at the top of his lungs.

"He met death." The voice mocks and eerily chills the air.

Captain Min feels his blood chill when he hears the deadly voice of the sea.

"Captain, the boats have emptied of most of their men. They are on the mountain." Jackson informs Jeon as they grow near the island.

"Just as expected." Jeon scoffs and lightning splits the night sky in half.

The few men left on the ships and at the base of the mountain shiver in fear as the smell of death engulfs them. Jeon's crew revels in the smell of fear awaiting them. As they near the island, their eyes begin to glow. 

The ship stops just short of land, and the crew seems to float in the fog as they set foot on the Navy ships. When Jeon sets foot on land, he hears his name being whispered from the mountain. He ignores the call and draws Ryker.

Soon, the island reeks of blood and death as those who were left outside of the arms of the safety of the mountain are mercilessly slaughtered. Jin's laughter fills the air  as men beg him to spare their lives. 

Without hesitation, Jin cuts down each and every one of them. "Pathetic little creatures." Jin hisses as he watches them fall one by one under his blade.

The sound of their pleas and screams fills the crew with a twisted joy and satisfaction. Namjoon lifts his bloody hand to the stars and watches the thick, crimson liquid stream down his forearm. He clenches his fist with a sneer then a deep chuckle vibrates through his chest as a pathetic sword pierces through where his heart should be.

"Pathetic." A deep voice rumbles through Namjoon's chest as he grabs the blade and snaps it.

The man screams as sea water instead of blood flows from Namjoon's chest. "Shut it!" Namjoon hisses as he lifts the man up by the throat with one hand. A stomach churning crack rings through the air as Namjoon snaps the man's neck with one simple motion.

As they near the base of the mountain, they leave a trail of blood behind every step. Their blades cut down every living being in their path. Those who run are bewildered when eyes holding death appear in front of them.

When they reach the base of the mountain and the edge of the sea fog, they all take a deep breath and revel in the carnage they left behind them. Jackson turns around and peers into the thick fog. Jeon smirks when Jackson disappears into the fog and the sounds of screams filter through the air as Jackson cuts down the remaining few who thought they had escaped the cold claws of death.
