Chapter 25: Free

For the next six months, both men planned their escape as they built the King's ship. As the full moon rose into the sky, Jungkook reached out of their cage and ripped the lock off of it. Namjoon quietly chuckled as he observed the brute force of the quiet demon.

As they quietly escaped their cage, the other slaves woke up. The other slaves had been informed that they were escaping that night, so they eagerly awaited their freedom. Jungkook quickly went to each cage and released the others. They knew that the clinking of their chains would awaken their guards, so they sprinted for their lives to the ship.

"The slaves are escaping!" A guard yelled as he watched the 70 slaves run towards freedom.

When they neared the shore, lightning suddenly flashed through the air while thunder roared. Namjoon realized that this was Jungkook's doing when he saw the tattoos glowing. The other slaves realized the same thing, so they gained confidence in their escape and began to board the ship that they had just finished building for the King.

Once they were on the ship, waves began to crash on the shore and beat against the guards as they tried to board the ship.

"Lift the anchor!" Jungkook yelled as he ran to the helm.

"Lift the anchor!" Namjoon repeated as he and others ran to the anchor.

"Unfurl all sails!" Jungkook yelled from the helm and began turning the helm.

"Unfurl all sails!" Namjoon repeats and runs towards the main mast. "Jungkook! The chains won't let us climb!" Namjoon yells when the chains restrict him.

Before the others realize what is going on, Jungkook is going from person to person and is cutting their chains with Ryker.

"How did you do that?" Namjoon asked in surprise.

"I left Ryker in the sea when I was taken." Jungkook answers and returns to the helm.

"And I guess you can just summon it from the sea." Namjoon mumbles as he climbs the main mast and unfurls the sail

As Namjoon clings to the mast, he hears a commanding voice floating on the wind. When he looks at Jungkook, he realizes that it is him. He then freezes when he hears the drumming in the deep.

"The Pirate King." Namjoon mutters as he watches Jungkook.

The others all realize who Jungkook is when they hear the drumming vibrating from the depths of the ocean. 

As the ship leaves the port, the waves crashing onto the land become larger.

"We go north." Jungkook mutters and turns towards home.

Within that night, it was quickly determined by every freed slave that Jungkook was the captain and Namjoon was his quartermaster.

"What will happen to us?" One of them asked Namjoon as Jungkook quietly sat at the helm with his eyes closed.

"I will leave you in the North where you will be safe and free." Jungkook answered without opening his eyes.

"What he said." Namjoon mumbled and looked at Jungkook.

"I heard that the warrior tribes of the north do not take slaves. We'll be safe." One assured the others, so none of them argued. All that they wanted was freedom.

As the months passed, they ran into Navy ship after Navy ship. They all watched in awe as Jungkook destroyed each one of them. When they began to run short on supplies, Namjoon and a few others boarded the Navy ships and took what they needed while leaving the crew dead. Jungkook made sure that the slaves found on the ships were rescued.
