Azure Main: The Holy Lady of the Spanish Armada

IV - Awakening in a New World

I come to on a hard wooden surface.
Getting up, I notice that I'm standing on... me? I'm a Woman like my Namesake and a Human like the men who served on me during Trafalgar but yet, I am also a ship.

I look around, seeing that I was drifting alone on a vast expanse of ocean with all of my sails furled. I felt the ocean breeze blowing from my port as i took my bearings.

All of a sudden, I hear a voice eminating from my Starboard Quarter, 960 yards away from me.

???: "Unknown Vessel, you are in Royal Navy Waters. State your Name and Allegiance or you will be given no quarter and sunk!"

I look to my Starboard and saw several Azured Ships sailing towards my location on an intercept course, sailing large and with all of their guns run out and ready to open fire at a moment's notice.

It was the HMS Royal Sovereign along with a few Second Rates and a single Fifth Rate as her escorts.

I look to the Mizzen Mast of the oncoming ships, seeing the Ensign of the Royal Navy fluttering in the direction of the wind.

Royal Sovereign: "I demand you to State your name and Allegiance or you will be given no quarter!"

I had no choice but to comply to her demands to avoid any conflict since i was in a disadvantageous position to fight.

"Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad, Imperio de España." (Our Lady of the Holy Trinity, Empire of Spain)

Some of the shipgirls froze in place as if they saw a ghost as she stated her name and allegiance.

One of the ships, the Second Rate HMS Neptune exclaimed.

Neptune: "It's the Santa Señora de la Armada Española!"

Royal Sovereign: "What?!"

Her escort ships started to shake in fear, knowing what the "Holy Lady of the Spanish Armada" can be capable of.
