The Devil's Country

The Captain's Fixation

In the middle of the walled-in area is a sea of unknown creatures. In the middle of the sea is an island of many treasures. They call this island, SkullTrap Island. Legend has it only one person has ever gotten to the island. However, the pirates who made it there never left. People have been told many stories of courageous men and women who set out on that dangerous voyage to the island. No one has ever returned from the island. Not even a pigeon has been sent back. One man and his crew wish to adventure the island. People call him mad, but his crew call him brave. No one is truly sure if he will make it to the island. People only know a few stories of the captain of the Princess Lin, Captain Ozwell

(Captain Ozwell's perspective)

I walk up on the top deck waiting patiently. I must wait for the perfect moment to set sail. I grab my ragged hat and I set out for my galleon. The Princess Lin sat right off the shore in harmony and peace. I know this'll be a painful voyage for her. I watch as my men gather the last few boxes of supplies.

"Captain, the ship is ready. We are ready." My first mate said.

"Well, thy wheel is yours." I said watching him climb the stairs to me. His red bandana covered his greasy blond hair. This man had scars all over from his last ship he served on. People say he saved bunches of people in a ship fire a few years ago. It was a terrible time when Trice owned these waters. Now, the world owns these waters, but those damned western folk burned the most of the harbors with all the ships. Luckily, the Princess Lin was out sailing.

I watch the ship set sail, finally. My first mate, Michael, is in full command until I step in. I sit in my quarters writing letters and stories. I hope to one day make a book. Many sailors can't read, but I was studying up at Watery College. It's a nice place for sailors to get education. It is quite close to the water too.

I watch out the window as the ship sails steadily but hastily. I personally believe we will make it. My men have the faith and ambition, but I still put all my letters in bottles just in case. I hear a horn blow above deck. It means we are now close to two hundred meters. I leave my quarters and walk out onto the deck. We are meeting up with another ship. That ship is called The Harbored Giant. It lives up to it's name. I watch as we approach that ship. I count thirty-three cannons on it's starboard side. I see five cannons in the front and six in the back. The Princess Lin only has seventeen cannons on either side, four cannons in the front and back too.We pull up right next to it. A long and wide board extends onto our deck.

"Captain Ozwell. It's quite nice to see you again." Captain Felix says. His tall and muscular stature towers over me. His long mustache nicely combed adds fear to his enemies, the pirates.

"Very nice to see you too Felix." I grab his extended hand in a friendly matter. I smile ever so slightly.

"Well, ain't it time we set sail? We don't want those pirates or Royal Navy find us now do we?" He laughs with confidence.

Later, we are sailing. Two large ships sailing side-by-side. One larger ship and the other ship is only slightly smaller. I now stand on top deck by the wheel. I watch my men scurry across the ship, but without missing a beat I hear it. First a shot of a large cannon. Then the horns of our ships wail in the wind. I grab my telescope. I extend it to only see, pirates. I recognize the ship right away. It's a smaller less armed ship with a monstrous battering ram. This small schooner is of a large pirating group. They call themselves the Unruly. Vicious pirates, they are. I watch them swiftly become closer. I signal to Felix about the pirates. He proceeds to turn his ship. I do the same with mine. The pirates keep getting closer at full speed. They just barely get in range when I scream fire at the top of my lungs. All fifty cannons on both ships fire off at once in a gigantic volley. I watch as many of the cannon balls drive deep holes into the pirate's ship. I smirk in gladness. However, the Unruly's ship is still charging full speed at us I order another volley of cannon balls to be fired off. I watches as three cannon balls hit right at the water line. I see the pirate's ship suddenly start to sink rapidly only about. Their ship was only about fifteen meters away from us when it sank. I watch as the ship sink. I see pirates screaming for help, but no help will be given. We turn our two ships to go around the rubble of that schooner. By now it's almost nightfall. I walk back to my quarters to turn in for the night.
