Fight for the Underworld

Monarchy

As we were sailing that night, Jazz took a look at my daggers and said they were magical. "Haha, I knew you couldn't have done that on your own, hun," Devin joked, then he fell off his chair when my boot hit him.

Algerita said, "Gee I sure am going to miss Cheyenne."

"Well I'm not," said Gabby, "besides, she's where she belongs now, with her little angel friends."

"And we're where we belong," Maryssa said with a raised glass, "out at sea like the stinkin' pirates we are!" Simon and the others raised their glasses up with a "cheers!"

Suddenly, the ship began to rock back and forth, even knocking Taylor and myself off balance. "What's going on?" Algerita said in a panic.

"Sea quakes?" Natalie said, who was leaning against a wall.

Jazz said, "Nope, 'cause I'm pretty sure that's not a thing and they wouldn't fill the whole kitchen with such a bright light."

Then there was a sense of falling then it suddenly stopped. Then all was calm and quiet. "We should go check it out," suggested Gabby.

"Are you kidding?" I protested.

"Come on," Devin said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me out onto the deck. We looked around. This cave felt familiar, then we heard a familiar voice in the darkness, "Black Rose Pirates!" It was Lucifer, "You did it!" The cave lit up with tiny green candles all around the walls. "You guys saved the Underworld!"

"Heck yeah we did!" Maryssa celebrated.

Simon crossed his arms, "Don't tell me you made us fall here just so you can congratulate us."

"Okay number one, that's pretty rude," Lucifer said with an echoing voice then he it went back to normal when he continued, "Number two, I'm here to offer your captain a great reward."

"Is it gold?" I immediately responded.

"Nope, far greater" he said, "Since you murdered the princess of one of my kingdoms, there has been an opening."

I felt a bit guilty but asked, "So are you going to make me the princess?" He nodded with a black teethed smile. I thought for a moment then said, "I know being royalty is supposed to be luxurious but I know that it's a lot of responsibility. I don't want to give up my freedom, this is why I'm a pirate."

"You're allowed to have a harem," Lucifer pointed out.

"Thats nice and all but-"

"All the food you can eat is free."

"Okay, where the freak is my crown?"

And that, my dears, is how your mom became queen of the Underworld.
