I sat on the sofa in Dad's study, playing cards with Phoenix. We looked up as Dad entered. He looked tired, it wasn't surprising seeing how the Queen had been needing his help with a problem. Andrew had told me that it was a job that Reaver was was apart of, I had been trying to find out what it was for ages.
" Are you ok, Dad? " I asked, his sea blue eyes caught my own sky blue, I saw he was slightly annoyed. Not with me, but the queen.
"I am fine" Dad replied, he sat in his chair and sighed.
"We'll leave you in peace, come on Hawk." Phoenix and I left the study.
"He can't carry on like this, we've got to do something!" I said, once we were out of earshot from anyone.
"I know, that's why I did a little snupping!" Phoenix grinned
"And? did you get any answers?" I asked
"Yes, I found some sort of a diary that dad wrote" Phoenix pulled out a small book. "It seems Dad was and still is the Pirate King...So, maybe the trouble is at the docks, maybe some pirates have landed in bowerstone docks and causing trouble."
"Good, thinking. Lets go, You can ride Midnight,I'll ride sky." I nodded, we rushed out side and mounted our horses and rose bareback in to the industiral part of bowerstone.
We left the horses, some children had began to pet them, so we left them too it as we went to cheek out the docks. I was the first to spot trouble, A man was forcing a young girl on to a huge sail ship. I pointed it out to Phoenix.
"Salvers, perhaps?" Phoenix suggested
"If so, we had better saved those people!" I growled glaring at the ship. We approched it,my fingers trailed the the designed of Avo and skorm, who were in their holsters. Phoenix was lighting tapping her gun. We sneaked on to the ship to find it deserted.
"I wonder why thay are here, so close to the castle. I mean, being so close to a powerful hero... Well, 2 powerful hero's" Phoenix muttered
"give them a little credit, they've got the guts to do it" I said.
"Yep, now I guess the salves are below deck, so lets get down there" Phoenix and I found a trap down, we pulled it up and stepped back in shock. The salves were mostly children, They looked at us ,I felt their fear. I extended and arm to them
"We are here to help, Lets get you all out of here" I smiled kindly. A Young boy took my hand, before I knew it someone pushed me, I heard Phoenix's muffled cries. I was caught by a pair of strong arms.
"I got ya miss" A gruff voice said
"Thanks..." The trap door closed, Phoenix was still out there!"Phoenix!" I cried.
"there is no point shouting,You get a good flogging if you do." The man that help me said.
"If they do my father will hunt them and collect their heads to stick on the wall." I growled angerily."BLOODY PIRATES!" I yelled.
"Your father won't be able to take this crew te captian of this ship is the Pirate king" A girl placed a hand on my shoulder.
"That's impossible..." I looked at her, her facen was unseeable in the dark.
"why is it?" some one else asked
"My father is the Pirate king." I told them, I felt everyone back away from me. " So, who ever the captain is beter watch out." I went up to the trap door and tried to push it up, It only went up alittle, I saw a lock. I let it fll close again.
"you will never get that open." A child said. I drew Avo and loaded it.
"was that a gun?" some one asked in a hushed whipser.
