The Elantra Pirates

Chapter 11

"Let's fucking go!" Hillanter cheered, punching the air. The rest of the crew were cheering as well, as they sailed away from the castle, still visible from the boat. Zunci is jumping up and down, screaming to the sky about how they were even lucky to pull that off.

"When you said you were fast, Yunga, I didn't even know you were that fast!" Zunci said.

"You basically just teleport." Shug jokes.

"Thanks." Yunga laughed. "It's something I've mastered ever since I was fourteen."

"Where did it come from?" Shug asked.

"Don't know. I've always just sorta had this power."

"Didn't your parents ever tell you?"

"No, they most likely knew, but they just refused to tell me."

"That sucks."

"Enough of that talk!" Hillanter came out of the captain's cabin with a huge barrel filled with a beer called Klinker, and a bunch of mugs. "Grab a drink! We deserve it!" Hillanter placed the barrel down, put the mug under the tap it had, poured himself a drink, and gulped it down. "Anyone else want one?"

"Fuck yeah!" Zunci came running over, pulling the mug from Hillanter's hand, put it under the tap and slammed it down, and completely swallowed the drink until the mug was completely dry.

"I'll get one I guess." Yunga said, walking over to the barrel.

"I'm fine." Shanta said.

"I'll pass." Brentha said.

"Might as well." Shug walked over to the barrel.

All four of them took mighty swigs of the Krinker. Having a nice conversation with all of the crew, laughing and joking along, as the ship sailed along the sea.

An hour has passed and they've been sailing along the sea with no apparent goal in mind. No destination to go to, just drifting off wherever God takes them. Shug and Brentha were on top of the crow's nest of the ship as Yunga and Zunci were just sitting down on the deck, Hillanter was at the steering wheel, and Shanta was inside the captain's cabin.

"Yunga?" Zunci said to get her attention.

"Yeah?" Yunga responded.

"Why did we even go out to sea again and not just get away on land."

"Well, even if we did manage to escape, we would be worse off as we would have no supplies whatsoever. So I knew this ship wasn't fully unpacked yet, and that it wouldn't be left guarded."

"Wow, that's smart of you."

"Thanks."

"Guys!" Shanta shouted from the captain's cabin. "You need to come in here!" Yunga and Zunci get up and rush into the captain's cabin, swinging the door open. Shanta was right next to a water pump. The water pump takes water from the sea and pumps it into a barrel on the ship. Inside the barrel was a disdainful yellow that tainted the water. It looked very disgusting.

"What the fuck is that?" Yunga said in disgust.

"That's what I was gonna ask you." Shanta said.

"Well I have no idea what that is." Yunga started to cover her noise due to the stench, and so did Zunci. Yunga put a lid on the barrel.

"This is bad." Yunga said, with her nose still covered. "Let's get to the deck." Yunga, Zunci and Shanta, go back onto the deck and look at the water around them. The water was all tainted yellow, with the stench of a rotten egg and burning fossil fuels.
