Open Sea

Caught Up

Longbeard had me by the neck inches from the ground without being able to breathe, I was about to lose consciousness when he released me, making me take the biggest breath of my life and I got back on my feet.

- I came for my mother, you messed with the wrong person, we will not let you hurt them and do whatever you want.

The evil sorceress came floating down from the Star of Fire and laughing.

- And you think your miserable crew will be able to stop me and Longbeard? Don't make me laugh, please- she said.

"Silence Anemona, let me speak," Longbeard silenced him.

"Whatever you say honey," he answered.

- You will see none of you will be able to avoid what will happen today, all of you will give me your blood and I will become the owner of the sea, with the abilities of each one I will be invincible, no one will be able to with me and everyone will kneel.

"Son of a bitch," Trevor snorted.

"That voice reminds me of someone from a long time ago ... Trevor, let yourself be seen," Longbeard called him.

Trevor came out of the men and stood next to me in front of Longbeard, when he saw him he spat on the floor and said.

-You are the reason why I left the navy, this garbage that you see here before was someone of renown, but it was the one that poisoned the heads of the other sailors, began to smuggle and rob the poor and merchants; when he was expelled he created his crew and since then he has caused nothing but damage and destruction. The navy was never able to recover, it had damaged the minds of others and I just had to abandon them - Trevor told us.

"Thank you for that reminder that I didn't need," Longbeard said, hitting him with the handle of the sword and opening his head, throwing him to the ground.

I knelt down and put my hand on his forehead, Pedro came over and quickly took him away to help him.

- He's good at talking. Anemona- called Longbeard.

"As ordered by my lord," said the sorceress.

She had a black suit with emerald accents and her hair was tied back in it. She began to say a few words and from her back a kind of mist began to come out, but in the form of an explosion that covered the boats in a matter of seconds, leaving us all unconscious; the last I heard was her footsteps walking away from me along with my mother.

I woke up on the Star of Fire, what was left of both crews were there only we were tied up and gagged. The sorceresses were apart, he could see how Anemona took them by the hair, gave them to him and he opened their necks spilling all his blood in a cauldron, throwing their talismans into a corner. I was trying to let go, I could feel Trevor's hands next to mine doing the same and I could see my mother in the distance who would not stop seeing me. Luca had been tied up with a chain and he was also struggling to get free. Anemona stood in front of my mother spitting on her and dragging her across the floor.

"You son of a bitch, let her go!" I yelled at her without having any effect on her.

Longbeard had her knife ready to pass through her neck and my Luca appeared biting her arm, making her drop the knife and scream in pain; Luca was furious and began to tear Anemona's suit, but this with his hand again took out his mist or smoke, I didn't even know what it was that made him unconscious.

My mother stood up and began to say a few words, she began to levitate flashing a beautiful white light forcing us all to look away and hold tightly to the waves it produced. My mother continued to levitate, but from that ball of light her spirit appeared in a much younger form, time had stopped and just by touching the strings I was released in front of her.
