The waves crash, unsettled. A storm had come out of nowhere and engulfed the large pirate ship.
Lightning flashed overhead and frightened some of the crew members below who ran with buckets, trying to get as much water off the ship as possible.
Captain Steel steerd the ship as his first mate, Jones, stumbled clumsily towards the Captain and called to him, "Captain! There's somthing in the water!" His words smothered by the howling wind and crashing waves managed to reach the Captains ears.
Abandoning his post he looked over the railing and squinted his eyes, he saw a shimmer of scales beneath the rigid waves, it seemed to be a tail, unnerved Captain returned to the wheel and shouted to Jones, "What the hell is that?!"
Jones clung to the opposite railing his head still pointed down towards the waters, the waves blocking out his voice.
One of his men slipped and crashed into the railing, hitting it at such speed that he toppled overboard.
The Captain left the wheel and ran down the steps to the main deck then to the railings where the man had fallen, the the Captains surprise another man in the water held up the crew member above the waves and shouted, "looks like you could use some help!"
