The Cursed Shore (Alloyia Series Book 1)

Prologue

*about 200 years ago* "We shall we the richest, most powerful beings, on the face of Alloyia. We shall have power, money, fame... and most importantly..." *he took a pause to collect his thoughts* "rule... we shall rule all of Alloyia and become the most respected people of all time!"

The band of pirates cheered, throwing up their hats, in which gold was stuffed. As the glitter of gold fell, a bold, but scratchy voice could be heard 

"Yes, Yes, good blokes, you fell right in my trap, you are now surrounded" 

The band looked around and saw creatures covered and moss and dirt rise up, out of the water, indeed surrounding them.

"I would suggest you surrender now" the creatures took out sharp spears at the ready "or else"

The pirates, stunned and confused, dropped the handfuls of gold they held, and put their hands up.

"No!" the lead pirate who gave the speech before exclaimed "FIGHT!"

All the pirates dropped their hands and charged at the creatures. A full on battle ensued. the crushing of bones, the helpess drowning of the flabby drunken pirates. Then suddenly, as if you were playing a game of wax statue, everyone froze, and what looked like a star came down from a whole in the cave. In an angelic voice is whispered gently "Death to ye who seek to take my treasure" 

Then all the pirates started to melt away, and turn into slimy, mossy, dirt covered creatures like their attackers. Bound to slave away for this star like creature, forever.
