The Violet Rose

Prologue

     Long ago, there lived two sisters, Ember, and Cheshire. The two sisters got along well, even though both of them were pirate captains. Ember was known as the famous Red Captain. She conquered many islands to claim them under her rule. Ember had a very strong belief that people should be free, even if the island was under her rule. However, Cheshire, the mischievous blue captain, believed people should be working under her rule. Her ideas of work was very similar to slavery, and it made Ember sick.

     When Ember tried to confront her sister about her idea of work, Cheshire was furious. Each sister believed their way was right, and it sparked a huge fight between the two. Fights turned from verbal, to physical. Whenever they were near each other's ships, a huge battle would begin. With each battle, there would never be a clear winner. Their strength, and power with their crew was equal.

     Over time, they kept conquering islands, and gained more power. Soon, they became known as the most powerful pirates in the land. Everyone knew about them, and everyone feared them. If an island was under their control, the people would have to wear the colors of their captain to show their support. If they were seen wearing a different color, they would be thrown in jail, and if they wore the captains rival color, the citizen would likely be killed.

     On islands that weren't controlled by a captain, they would wear any color except for red, and blue. Sure, there were captains of other colors too, but they weren't as powerful as the red and blue pirates. If someone wore red, or blue, they would be shunned, and hated. Wearing red, or blue, would be considered as showing support for one of the captains. People would judge them because of their beliefs, and think it's asking one of the captains to invade the island. Most likely, people who wear one of the captains colors, would get killed, or kicked off the island.

     The fight between the sisters carried on through generations. With each generation, the descendants of the sisters hated each other more, and more. Every captain hated the other with a burning passion. The descendants had no tolerance for the other captain, and their color. 

     Now, the sisters have long passed. Their descendants are in charge of all the power they had, and take the place as the Red Captain, and the Blue Captain. The captains have gained more power, and conquered more islands than the sisters ever did. The two captains will do anything to destroy each other. Every one is more scared of the captains than ever.

     This is where our story begins.
