Klseyer(Captain Back Rolls/Snack Sparrow) -- Jack of all Trades
AlignedThread24 -- Helmsman
You want to hear a story eh? Well sit back and listen to this epic tale of how 4 pirates took down the infamous Captain Flame Heart and his ghostly fleet...
The sun slowly rose from the horizon creating a pink and purple hew, the sweet sound of the waves peacefully sliding along the beach can be heard anywhere on the island, and the seagulls obnoxiously squawking... these few things, began to awaken a crew of 4. The first one to awaken from our slumber was our helmsman Thread. Thread was a natural Helmsman and a natural leader, He stood at around 5'9 with a lean body build but not too lean to be considered a twig. As he rose from the table, his elbow bumped into Snack Sparrow's tankered spilling the half-filled tankard onto the fat pirate's pants. Back Rolls shot up instantly but immediately clutched his head while groaning and said. "uuggghhh... What time is it" Sparrow whined out as he lets go of his head and rubs his eyes, Sparrow fails to notice Thread already at the doorway of the tavern with his mouth agape. Back Rolls decides to take advantage of our marksman of the crew, Reaper, who was slouching in a chair that was propped up on two legs. Sparrow kicked the chairs this resulted in Reaper kicking the table while falling back, hitting his head on the floor, and waking me up, causing me to growl and glare at the two. Reaper pointed up towards the whale in the room,Back Rolls Mcgee, resulting in Sparrow to point at himself in "confusion". I continued to scowl at them for a short few seconds, they started sweating bullets... I couldn't help but let out a chuckle as I got up to start heading towards our still stunned Helmsman, my gaze shifted to a worried and stunned one as well. When I had turned my back towards the two they started chasing each other around the tavern trying to beat each other up. But I couldn't be bothered with them at the moment because what I saw in the sky would ultimately change any plans we set for today... Back Rolls then pinned Reaper against the pillar at the corner of the bar. they begin to glare at each other, that is, until Reaper notices me and Thread. Reaper then narrows his eyes trying to see what's got me and Thread standing as still as statues... they widen and almost pop out of his eye sockets. Snacky Boy looks at Reaps in confusion and unease before he follows his gaze and slowly lets go at the sight of the mystery that me and Thread are so fixated on. They begin walking over, As they reach us at the front of the tavern, they stare at the giant ghost skull in the sky... specifically... Captain flame Heart's skull. As we look around at each other we begin to grin. "Looks like we got a fleet on our hands boys!" Reaper exclaimed, Sparrow began jumping up and down, his back rolls flying in the air making slapping sounds... his back rolls still gives me the hibbie jibbies... we immediately sprinted down from the tavern, took every board, cannon ball, and piece of fruit, stocked them on the ship, and then we set off for the floating skull in the sky. As we sailed closer to the fleet the unexpected happened...the skull of Captain Flame Heart spoke...
"A ship approaches... I can see you little vessel... before you lies the vanguard of my fleet... spectral vessels that I have summoned from the sea of the damned itself! When my armada is assembled, we shall burn our way across the Sea of Thieves, obliterating anyone who dares stand against us... I suggest you turn back now and savour the time you have left. Unless, that is, you wish to experience the true might of... CAPTAIN FLAME HEART!!!"
we all stood there for a second, a chill going up then down our spines... before looking at each other and grinning while practically spitting in death's face as we laughed and charged forward into the pack of ghost ships. as we barreled towards the first few ghost ships our Helmsman, Thread, put me on repair duty and sails, while Back Rolls and reaper were obliterating the paranormal vessels with... cannon balls... somehow?... (don't ask) as we fired upon them they retaliated with their own form of projectiles known as spectral cannon balls(?), wraith balls, and fiery spectral shots. but for each vessel we annihilated it seemed as though 2 more took its place. As the mini war raged on, we destroyed more and more ships from the sea of the damned and Flame Heart got more and more enraged. Thread then ordered me and Sparrow to switch roles, so I could get in on some action. Before I could however "MR HeartBurn" decided to say something
"Another ship approaches!!!" We covered our ears as Flame Heart screeched at the top of his non-existent lungs... we saw off in the distance a sloop managing to take down some spectral ships with slight ease. This began to fuel our dwindling fire making us work harder, smarter, And faster. Even though our little light had turned into a bonfire, it was immediately doused and reduced back to a flickering candle light as their numbers grew and our supplies began to dwindle down... the paranormal ships started to disappear into spectral beams and reappear separately at different locations. We began to doubt we would live to tell the tale... but it seemed as though Athena heard our prayers. We took down a captain ghost ship and a few spectral supply crates and spectral treasures were left in its place. We hurried the ship over and began to collect the loot and supplies using the harpoons at the front of our Gallion. As we collected supplies Thread had his spyglass out and was looking off into the distance. He gasped and closed up his spyglass before pocketing it and turning to us
"they're getting into formations! The basic ships are now trying to protect the captain ships, he's going on the defensive!"
"Aye! he's right! So Let's blast them outta the water and haul our cargo back to harbor" I exclaimed. Thread face palmed and look at me with disappointment in his eyes
"Really... you had to rhyme?" I shrugged and noticed the ships approaching, Back Rolls, Reaper, Thread, and I ran up to the cannons and began to fire all our shots into the newly formed group of ships as well as the sloop from earlier. After obliterating them, and hearing Flame heart rant on about how "this isn't the last we'll see of him" we gathered the loot and as we sailed away towards the closest outpost we heard Flamey screaming in anger while his spectral skull began to fade away.
We finally made it to the outpost and we lined up our ghost loot to admire it for just a little bit... before we basically sell it and never see it again... Sparrow went behind the loot and decided to pose

After selling the cargo, Reaper talked to a man by the backdoor in the tavern, pulled out his hurdy gurdy and began playing a shanty. It sounded awfully familiar to me a part of the tavern floor began to glow... the pirate legend shanty! That's what it was! Reaper finally became a pirate legend and was allowed entry to the secret pirate legend hideout. I walked over and patted him on the back to congratulate him for getting to the point he's at now. Thread and Back Rolls stumbled in with wide eyes. As the floor slowly descended into steps where the glowing symbol of athena once was. We all walked down the steps and traversed through a narrow passage and into the underground pirate legend hideout. We're met with music and ghosts of the first pirate legends crew along with the first pirate legend himself. Which is also believed to be Snack Sparrow's Father. But the ghost denies it...
There will come a time where you will face your greatest fears, uncover the mysteries of the Sea of Thieves, maybe even conquer it, but...
there will come a day when you... become a PIRATE LEGEND!!!
