Stormy Seas

A dark and stormy night

Once on a dark and stormy night, upon the deep sapphire blue waters that made up the Atlantic Ocean the dark sky was shrouded in the darkness of storm clouds except one patch of the sky, illuminated by the light of the moon, this patch was enough to give some light to the main deck although that would not be needed tonight

The crew were not on the main deck tonight as the rain started falling from the heavens, soon becoming a massive flow, the rain would be able to flood the ship and sink it in the storms but going down with their ship was not their main concern tonight for what would it matter if they were already dead

In the captains quarters, a particularly gigantic space, the crew were gathered to celebrate, all 18 of them all under the command of a particularly heinous pirate by the name of William T Adams, a former navy admiral who had turned to a life of scavenging and thieving after his dishonourable discharge from the Royal Navy after some incidents in London while they were back in dock from a mission almost 20 years ago now, unlike then he was no longer in his youth, now well into his 40's was a bitter and resentful man

That was were they got the ship which they were in gathered around a fine dining table designed for a feast had come from, in true pirate style they had stolen it from the Kings own fleet, this wasn't just any ship from the fleet though, this was the former flagship, The Black Swan as it was now know or formerly HMS Black Swan during its time under commission for the navy of the British empire, this is where the story of two young pirates would truly begin, those two young pirates were Ryan 'redeye' McCartan and Peyton 'the hook' Meyer both 22 years of age although why they were given these nicknames was unbeknown to them as they had no relevance to them at all but as they were neither captain nor first mate it wasn't their job or their place to ask questions

It was around said fine table that they were gathered tonight where they were Doug all manner of piratey things to enjoy their triumph, they were all partaking in a large amount of drinking, as they were drinking they were singing and as they sang they danced, it was a messy extravaganza

After quite a while of getting themselves highly drunk the captain called them to sit, very few were able to get there without almost falling flat on their faces, as they weren't really heavy drinkers Peyton and Ryan were both quite fine and the captain had a talent for holding his liquor so he too was quite stable

They all say infront of a large feast of ale and a wondrous array of delightful delicacies, they had gathered on this night to celebrate a significant victory on their part, they had found and captured the treasures of the shipwrecked battleship HMS Olympia, they laughed about the idiocy of those who had come before them in search of the treasures of the Olympia and had failed before them, who had come in search of the treasure of myth and lore, they cackled with pride over their discovery and gave not a second thought to the departed of the ship they had just in essence robbed, two members of said crew were a little more reluctant to laugh over such tragedies, it had crossed their minds about the deceased from their latest target

The legend of the Olympia was a great tale one of mystery and intrigue, it was on its final voyage before being decommissioned and stripped down for parts when it happened, it was to carry all manner of important goods, it's cargo worth millions as the legend went but the unfortunate incident occurred and they fell victim to an extremely violent storm which left them shipwrecked, forever lost at sea

Or at least that was how the story went, but was that really the truth? Was that all there was to the story? Maybe, maybe not, no one would ever know, nor would they know the story and secrets of the Black Swan's demise may never be known to anyone but any survivors that may come from what havoc was about to be wreaked upon this ship as any survivors would most likely be deemed insane , maybe that was true but their stories would be true, every single last word they would speak about the events of the night ahead would be the truth, the memories forever embedded in their brains however much they may or may not wish to forget some things that they would soon bare witness to
