The Lost Islands

Unwanted Saviors

We have just sailed away from the island. We done what we needed in the town and i got back alive. Sure was a close call. The capitan was angry with Reginold as he left my side and the bandits were after me. I told the capitan about everything that happened. How he saved me from the bandits at the tavern and how in the end it was my fault they were after me in the first place. I told the capitan what i said to the bandit. The capitan laughed hearty again. - "You have guts lad ill give ya that. So be it then." He smiled, pated me on the back and left. Me and Reginold just looked at each other and both noded, then we parted ways and got back to our own buisness on the ship.

I looked behind and seen the town and the port still in the distance. Was quite the first visit to a new place. I chuckle to myself. I look foward and see some dark grey clouds in the distance. - "A storm might come up soon." I hear Finlas speak. Then i hear the capitans voice. "Allright lads, we need to head south and then be will get back to Harga." I assume Harga is the name of the port town we have just been in. "We still have some work to do there im afraid." I do hope we do not meet those bandits again. They wouldnt be happy to see us. Hours upon hours pass and night falls. I climb up on the crows nest just bellow the flag. I sit there, and soon feel very tired. The soft breeze feels nice in my hair as i feel the slight sea salt on my face. I close my eyes as i feel myself drifting off to sleep.

A loud sound, a bit like a pistol firing right next to my ear wakes me up. I snap out of sleep and get up in less than a second. I feel wet. My clothes are soaked and my hair is like i just jumped in the water. I feel heavy rain falling. I look around and see that im in a middle of a storm. I see a flash of light in the distance and then a loud thunderstrike. I slightly panic but i calm myself. I head out to climb down but a huge wave hits the ship. I fall from the crows nest. I look above and see the dark stormy sky as it lightens for only a bit as thunder hits. I try to straighten up and see myself falling towards the railing. I close my eyes and pray that i hit the water and not the deck. Or if i hit the deck, that my death is swift.

I feel a hard hit, and think for the worst. But i soon hear a splash and then the sound of the sea. I hear the waves splashing against the ship, the rain falling on the water. I swim up and get my head above the water as i take a breath. I look to the ship sailing away slowly as i scream. - "Help!" I start swimming towards the ship as fast as i can. "Help!" I go fast but the ship is faster. I try harder but get underwater as a wave hits me. I raise again and keep swimming, the ship geting further and further. I feel myself start to tire. I swim as fast and as long as my strenght lets me, but to no use. I get uderwater as another big wave comes up. I dive up and take a deep breath, but another wave hits me.

The rest is a blur of me fighting for my life as i give my best not to drown. I dont want to die like this, was most of my thoughts. Now i snap out of sleep and breathe in the air. I am on a deck, but not the deck of my ship. I see some sailors gathered up around me. I slowly get up and as i open my mouth to thank them i feel someone grab me. I am caught by suprise as i try to rip off from whoever has taken me. Leading only to more people grabing me. I look around and see that im on a ship, it is bigger than The Lone Wolf, not much else i can say about it.

I am taken bellow deck and pass many imprisoned men, elves and dwarves. The mood is grim as the prisoners whisper, stay quiet, anger or even cry. There are many people here. I am taken to one of the rooms and they chain me up to a metal pole that is just above the ground across the room. I look around and see a man to my right and a dwarf to my left. There are also two men, a woman, two dwarves, and an elf in the same room. - "Welcome to the party." A bald man with a scar across his right eye speaks to me. Then i hear the woman speak. - "Oh shut up." The man next to me chuckles.

I speak up.- "Where am i? What will they do to us?" The man to my right speaks. He has long, rough blond hair. - "They are slave traders. They will do to us as they wish. Sell us would be my guess, after that i do not know." I hear the elf speak. - "Thats for the lucky ones. Im a wanted pirate." He chuckles. "Its the execusion for me, after they claim the prize on my head." Then the dwarf next to me speaks to me. - "How did you end up here?" I chuckle. - "Fell off my ship at a storm. They found me and brought me here." I hear a few laughs in the room. One of the men, short, brown hair, speaks. "I dont know if you are lucky or unlucky." A few chuckles go throughout the room as i join them.

- "Well, let me introduce myself." The man next to me speaks. "I am Jack." The dwarf next to me speaks. "Furin." The bald man speaks. "Ragnar." A red haired and bearded dwarf speaks. "Ugdun." The other, black haired and bearded dwarf then. "Agraz" Then its the elf. "Carganas" Then the blond woman. "Siera" And then the man with short, brown hair. "Ralas." Ralas chuckles. "A lot of names, eh?" He throws his chains at the ground, to all of our amazement and awe. He gets up, streches and claps his hands. "So, what do you say we break out of this prison?"
