A Ruby At Sea

A Sail at Full Speed

Many misconception on pirates were held in the minds of those who choose to believe them. "Pirates are filthy!" when in truths the were well kept, organized and professional in all their works. "They steal and kill!" well yes, this one wasn't as far off from the truth, but deaths are only brought into the mix when what they want isn't given easily, who wouldn't get mad?

Arthur sat among the group of men he called his crew, a feared set of young men desprite to get the money they were guaranteed when the ship left. The constant chatter drove the pirate to his point, his voice ringing through out the dinning room.

"Shut up lads before I cut yer tongues off and feed them to the next starving man I see in England."

The  group went silent, the hush of the room swept through smoothly; all Arthur could do was smirk.

"Now, listen and I'll tell you my plans to get our next share, an easy game."

He stood in his chair, placing a foot upon the table and walked along the wooden surface. The blond peered down at his subjects, a fine way to keep them all in his sights as he spoke.

"The local church in Berlin, not one pirate has ever taken the riches from what's inside it's doors, and it's about time the God loving idiots learned that to hold fear in God is not close to the fear they should hold in men. We'll take their gold, restock on their swine and bread, and who knows take our time with the women there. They'll scream for their God as we show them what real men look like."

Shouts and claps send waves of commosion through the large room, and Arthur quickly shot glares and silence settled in once more.

"Set sail at once, let our name be known through the townsmen and children in Berlin!"

The pirate stopped and let out his charming smirk, the young male watched the men as the scrambled to their posts, following their leaders orders. Arthur stepped down and went to the quarters he took root in, closing the doors.

There he remained for what he felt like forever, compiling a route of entrance and a main plan to bombard the small church and town. It was risky, but smart, the prussians weren't stupid, but Arthur was smarter. He held the world power in Naval command, his numbers on sea could easily defeat what they held on land. And so his plan was set, and the men were informed.

The time it would take to make it to the Germanic nation was less than a few days, a small trip by all means. The hours of the days that would pass were used by the crew to celebrate and give into their needs among the ships kitchen hands; women that were held captive at the threat to end their lives. 

All participated, all excpet Arthur, who watched their careless acts and made sure nothing went to extremes, and the ones who got too out of hand were sent to their rooms. He held other things upon his mind. This trip was not just a plot, but it held true to his heart. For there in that village he had seen what he swore was an angel in it's glory, a man he had fallen for, and he didnt even know his name. A pirates way to capture the rarest gem among the church , and keep him to himself. But how? The Prussian who resided there was pure, a carbon copy of the Lord's worshipers. This would be his next plan, and how it would play out he couldn't fathom the ending.

The nights faded and morning captured the earth's beauty, the same cycle over the next days, and the man were ready. The ship sat anchor in the nearest harbor of Berlin, and the plan took off like the sails of a ship on a windy day. The pirate had sealed the fate for him and the two brothers who kept home at the church.

Fate had finally crept into it's  place, and it's grip on the souls it chose would not loosen. Only time would tell the true story of two heart's and how they became one.
