The Dragon Stone

Chapter 14

"We set sail for the Red Keep." Captain Nightshade yelled.

"Aye, aye Captain!" they all yelled back.

"Captain I don't think going to the Red Keep is a wise decision." Said an older man around his forties.

"Are you questioning me Mr. August?" The captain asked all most enrage by Mr. August questioning him.

"Of course not Captain." He said with a shaky voice.

"Good now we have business to attend to." Captain Nightshade said turning towards them. As they walked through the ship not knowing where the siblings were taking them. They approached a door and inside was a large desk with maps neatly stake up and a dagger stabbed in one of the maps laying out. Captain Nightshade sat in a large chair and said now that we are away from any unwanted eavesdroppers. My full name is Lucina Nightshade and this is Liam my brother. I must apologies for my behaver but being a mercies means you get a lot of enemies.

"Wait you're a mercies, why are you here?" The prince asked.

"Well your father hired us to kill Kalin but he didn't care if any of you died with her so I declined and set sail to find you and warn you that your father will stop at nothing to kill Kalin." She said getting up and walking over to his bookshelf were a picture of a man. He had a medium lenght rusty red hair and hazel eyes. The Captains eyes were full of sadness and loss as she picked it up and gazed at the man.

"So why did you come here to warn us and where do you mercies come from?" Orist inquired.

"We come from Savel the island to the north of here." Liam stated.

"I hear you had a civil war there not too long ago." Kaston said.

"Yes we did but the king in power is a fair and just king and now you owe us a favor so when we come for help you will helps us." The captain said turning around still holding the picture of the man.

"You left someone there didn't you?" Kalin ask.

"Yes, the one other person I care for other than my brother." Lucina said with a sad look.

"But enough with that you should rest you have to wake up early tomorrow. Liam will you show them were they are sleeping." Lucina told him.

"Yes Captain, this way." He said motioning towards the door. They walked out as the Captain sat down again looking like a Queen on his throne. As the arrived the ship shock violently.

"What was that?" Liam asked. They heard the captain cruse then she ran straight pass them and up onto the deck. They could hear the yelling. They ran after her when they got on the deck. They all looked horrified by the ships that were attacking them. It was King Ned's Navy's best ships.

"FIRE!" Lucina yelled over the battles noise. They were able to defeat two of his ships but they were running low on cannon balls.

"They're going to board the ship get ready and fire!" Lucina yelled. The sound of cannons and yelling were the only things you could hear. They were all fighting until the heard a screech of metal. Everyone's heads turned to see Lucina holding a whip. She looked furious, her purple eyes full of hatred.

"You dare to attack me on the open seas. You think you can win well the sea will be your grave!" Lucina yelled to sailors. The Captain of their ship walked up to her and challenge her, she of course accepted. Everything stood still as they watched the battle between the Captains.

"Well you are just another slave to be hang for deifying your country, you mutt!" Lucina looked unfazed by the insult but there was rage in her eyes as she fought.
