Roy walked onto the ship getting ready to leave the small island town with his new crew. They worked tirelessly to get the sales set up and get supply's on board. He walked across the deck towards the captains cabin opening the door and walking over to his desk, he takes out his maps looking over them and marking known smuggling ring islands that will have supply's they can raid. He then opens a drawer and pulls out a map that leads to the most sought after of all treasure. The siren queens crown. It lays on an island in the heart of the ocean surrounded by creatures and dangerous waters. No pirate has ever sailed there and lived to tell the tail. Roy listens to the bustle if the crew working on deck. His good friend john walks in on him and closes the door.
"This is a really strong crew captain we should be well prepared to fetch that crown"
"Yes we should be. Now are we ready to cast off yet?" Roy asks flipping through his charts.
"We are captain the crew awaits you on deck" he says with a nod
Roy waves him out the room with a nod. He collects all his charts and maps and puts them back in the safe. Roy walks out onto the deck the crew waiting patiently.
"We cast off to find the greatest treasure known to man..." a murmur runs through the crowd. "We leave for Tortuga before we set off on the dangerous journey... for the sirens crown"
The entire crew breaks into a large shout then scurries off to set off to Tortuga.
We arrive at Tortuga to nights later pulling into port. All the men get off the boat as we head into the closest tavern.
"Roy how are you?" One of the bartenders calls over
"I'm doing well me and my crew are stopping in for a visit" I yell back
"Hope your crew has fun sweetheart" she replies then walks away to fetch drinks for the men in the corner of the bar.
Some of the crew look at him strangely but then brush it off and continue to drink and talk to the women they found. Roy looked around and sighed this was not his kind of fun but he knew his crew enjoyed the place. He took a swig of his rum and looked around the bar. A woman tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
"Hey want to some fun sugar" she asked running her hand up his arm.
"No thanks your type of fun isn't for me" roy said with a smile brushing her hand off his arm. He gulped down the rest of his rum and stood up walking out of the tavern. Most of his crew noticed the spectacle and were confused and annoyed the next day throwing jabs at him about his lack of sex the next day. Roy ignored them all as he went through his day but as it neared mid day he had had enough.
"Listen up many of you have been saying things about me and my lack of a woman last night at Tortuga. I want you all to know I am not and never have been into any form of contact like that, nor will I ever want that" The entire crew is silent they glare defiantly until one man speaks up.
"Doesn't that mean you aren't really a man" one boy yells from the back soon the crew is agreeing with him and they start to yell at him.
"ENOUGH" He yell "THIS IS MY SHIP YOU WILL RESPECT ME NOW WE WILL BE IN SIREN TERRITORY BY NIGHT FALL BE PREPARED"
The crew look scared and scurry back to there stations but he still hears the whispers about whether he is a man or not. Roy heads back to his cabin letting John take the wheel while he rest in his room.
Roy jolts awake when he heres a splashing from the deck. He gets up and heads out of the cabin as he steps on deck the demons start singing. His crew start to come up from below enchanted by the sirens singing below. Roy is furious that they are trying to hurt his crew. He ties of a line and jumps over the side of ship. He lands just above the water holding the line tightly he kicks the nearest siren in the face.
"Can you not" I scream at them kicking another in the face.
The sirens screamed and my crew snapped out there revery as they stopped singing. They started throwing the large canon balls we had on deck over board hitting sirens as they fell dragging them into the water hissing they dove back into the water retreating away from my ship. I climbed back up to the deck john helping me over the edge. The crew looked shell shocked for a minute before they rushed over asking if I was ok and for saving them from the sirens song.
The next morning the waters were crisp and clear the wind blew nicely and we had the island in view the crew got into the smaller boats and we rowed out to the island we landed on a rocky shore a large cave looming before us. We landed the boats and headed into the cave. Inside was a huge cavern filled with spikes and sharp rock formations. We cautiously walked further into the cave until we found a large room filled with water and in the middle was the crown. A very small walkway led to the small sand bar the crown sat upon. Roy carefully started to walk across when sirens started appearing from the water around him. His men covered their ears as they started to sing and roy gritted his teeth the sound piercing his ears painfully. He made it across the small bridge and slowly picks up the crown. The sirens screech and dive back into the water below as sharp spears of rock fall from the ceiling. Roy sprints back to his crew and they all run back to the boats rock raining down on them. They get out of the cave and collapse in the ground outside as the cave collapses completely. Roy starts laughing as they lay there breathing heavily. They got the crown and they survived to tell the tale
