"We are tied to the ocean.
And when we go back to the sea,
whether it is to sail or to watch -
we are going back from whence we came"
- John F. Kennedy
After a long day's work of fighting within the recent Springtime Scrimmage Tourney, Damian Black stood about at the balcony of his family's estate within the Holy City of Regalia. They were cut and bruised from the many fights that day, sadly only making it to the Semi-Finals for the Tourney. He was proud how far he got however, smiling as he'd close his eyes when the sun began to set set in front of him upon the balcony.
He'd open his eyes once more, standing about at the front of a might ship with his crew. The sea was open to his eyes as the sun was setting. The crew were busy at work as they'd be setting course for a port close by to Ithania to sail off a few supplies and goods that they found in some of their recent adventures. He smiled upon the sight of the powerful seas at hand, as a ship began to slowly appear in their sight. The Captain of the ship moved to see upon the ship's flag to get an idea of who it was, where it became a slight surprise to the Adventure's eyes. A Pirate Flag flew overhead as the Black looked around to the crew, instantly starting to yell orders to them. "Gather the cannons! Hoist the sails! Stand by for more orders!" He'd watch closely as the ship grew into two, then three. Three ships in total have decided to attack the Black's ship. He'd instantly gather the crew to get ready for a fight.
The Pirates instantly began to fire towards the ship, missing their first shot! Damian was angry beyond happy to have a fight on his hands, moving his men to fire back upon the ship. The Pirate Ship had been hit perfectly for the Black, the ship beginning to sink down as Pirates jumped overboard. That was only one ship down, two more left to go. The three ships were going back and forth for two hours before a second Pirate Ship fell to the Black's own ship. There was only one more ship left to fight the Black's ship, in which they began to board. The Pirates were large in numbers, outnumbering Damian's Crew three
ne. They were left to either surrender or fight back, which they decided to make it their last stand if needed. The cutlasses of the Pirates and Crew clashed together, Damian was slicing through pirate after pirate until the Captain of the Pirates finally showed themselves. It was odd, for it was an old crew member of Black's own. They were given a chance to surrender by the Black before they moved to try and clash down again Damian, but failed greatly as the Black's blade pierced the heart of the Pirate Captain. The Pirate Captain fell onto the ground, lifeless. The rest of the Priate crew surrendered to Damian, where he grinned slightly. The prisoners were locked up as much as possible were they were taken to the port to be transported. That night, Captain Black fell asleep upon their bed.
The Black would wake up from their dream soon after, a new dawn was rising. He'd move to his balcony once more, staring as the sun would raise a new dawn. Just another day on land, always dreaming of the sea. Damian wasn't sure what to call it anymore, the Sea of Death.. Or the Sea of Adventures. One thing has come to his mind however, he will always return where he came from. The nightmares will always return.. Along with the urge of the Sea.
