The mini bastille launched their bolts at the ships with all striking their target and spreading fire. On one of the ships the sails where already burning away as the crew tried their best to put out the fires. The other ships hull was lit shortly before being put out.
Opals ship passed between the two still heading to the port.
Opal, “Quickly reload!”
The crew quickly worked on reloading as the third ship came at them with the other two ramming into each other.
Aaron, “nice one.”
Opal, “thanks!”
Laee’s cheeks swelled up in anger of the compliment and turned to the third ship. She quickly casted the fireball repeatedly launching each one at the ship exploding on contact. The ship had sections flying off while the rest of the ship turned in to pure fames.
Laee, “how did you like those fireworks?!”
Aaron, “I think you actually overdid it a bit.”
Laee’s jaw dropped while Opal laughed out hysterically. Opal soon stopped laughing and started to give out more commands to her crew seeing more ships begin to head this way.
Opal looked at the flags flying on the ships coming at her there where three of the same flags that she did not recognized while the fourth flag was exactly like hers with all its markings.
Opal, “what are they doing with them!?”
She turned to the pirates manning the bastille.
Opal, “Aim for the first two and then prepare to target the other two but do not fire upon the friendly flag unless I say so.”
Pirates, “yes captain.”
They quickly started to reload and target the ships.
Aaron, “what there is a friendly ship.”
Opal turned to him, “I’m not just captain of this ship I also have control over a number of other ships.”
Aaron said, “Then you are a admiral?”
“if I was in the navy yes but we are one of the pirate clans.”
“Pirate clans aren’t you in a guild?”
I’ll tell you some time but right now we need to make it to port.”
“right sorry.”
“No need to apologize.”
Laee hopped in front of Aaron and said, “Aaron why don’t you pay more attention to me.”
Aaron sighed shaking his head.
[Enea, “it is not a good time Laee.”]
[Laee, “but she’s hogging Aarons attention.”]
[Aaron, “she is not I’m trying to keep an eye on the battle since it could get bad for us at any moment.”]
[Enea and Laee, “Oh really.”]
Aaron turned to the nearing ships. As they drew closer the crew made the last of the preparations.
Opal checked to see if they where done then turned to the ships before giving the command to fire again. The bolts flew at the ships striking the hulls side and even fully going through causing water to seep in. the ships also sent their own volleys. The first ship missed but the second ones bolts hit.
Opal ordered a number of the crew to put the fires out and patch any leaks with tar. Aaron and Laee quickly went to help put out the fires either using magic or buckets to put water on the fires.
Opal was angry now, “how dare they harm my precious baby!”
She walked over to one of the bastille and launched the next volley herself with a few fireballs from Laee lighting the third ship on fire.
The fourth ship soon came along side theirs and launched their hooks over the railings. Soon there were undead pirates coming over along with a large male demon and necromancer leading them.
Demon, “finally some fresh meat!”
Opal, “What have you done to my clans men!”
Necromancer, “oh they have had a change of allegiance since their deaths.”
Opal drew her blades with a pure look of hatred on her face.
“No one touches my comrades!”
She and a number of other pirates charged at the attackers with their cutlasses at the ready. Aaron drew his swords and ran towards the necromancer but was stopped as the demon came forward dropping one of the pirates disintegrating body of his curved black sword.
“Oh if it isn’t the chosen that the moron Crazed has been having so much trouble.”
Aaron took up a fighting stance, “Well Crazed is just a lazy bandit after all.”
The demon laughed, “Ha Is that what you think about that piece of trash! He is one of the great lords hands not a bandit.”
[Enea, “be carful Aaron you do not have anything but the holly aura to truly harm them.”]
[Aaron, “I’m really starting to wish that we had a cleric with us.”]
[Enea, “well one of the chosen is strong at holly magic and healing.”]
[Laee, “yes but she is one lousy drinking partner.”]
[Aaron, “Laee is this really a good time!”]
[Laee, “Its always a good time when it comes to Alcohol.”]
Aaron jumped to the side as the demon came forward bringing his sword down. He quickly struck back but was blocked so he turned his swing into a punch strait to the demons face.

The demon stepped back clutching his face while still pointing his sword at Aaron.
“How dare a mere mortal lay a hand on me!”
The Demon charged at Aaron but was thrown back over the rail from one of Laee’s fire balls.
She began to laugh, “we are no mere mortals.”
She turned to Aaron.
“You now owe me another drink Aaron.”
“How can I owe you another drink wait I already owe you one!”
[Enea, “this really is not the time for this Aaron.”]
[Aaron, “Tell that to Laee.”]
[Enea, “there is no point to since she doesn’t listen.”]
[Laee, “hay!”]
Aaron quickly moved forward to take out the rising undead that was created from the pirate killed by the demon. He took of its sword arm and then its head before it could even respond to his presence.
Laee began to freeze the undead and launch fireballs at the ship. Aaron tuned to face the necromancer that was facing off against Opal when something jumped from the railing at hem. He quickly jumped back as the soaking wet demon landed where be had ben standing.
“How annoying of that mage to interfere.”
“Ah great your back!”
“do you really think that I could be taken out that easily did you.”
Aaron did not say anything as he activated fire blade while swinging his swords at the demon. The demon blocked the attack and brought his blade across to remove Aaron’s neck but he had ducked. He brought his blades into the demons chest.
Aaron began to attack the demon trying to find its weak point but could barely see any opening. The demons attacks where starting to hum his arms and slide him back with each strike of the swords. Aaron quickly sidestepped and activated shadow step to get behind the demon but was gain blocked even though the attack should be faster then the eye could catch.
“you are to obvious with your attacks.”
[Laee, “I’m going to make an opening so be ready to take the chance.”]
Laee fired another fireball at the demon but the attack was blocked. Aaron used shadow step again as the fireball was about to strike the demon. He quickly struck at the sword arm cutting deeply before activating Shadow step again to strike the demons legs. Aaron activated Shadow step once more taking off the demons head as it was falling due to the previous attacks.
“how is this possible…”
Laee, “nice one Aaron.”
The demon disintegrated before he hit the ground. Aaron quickly picked up his loot before turning to see the skeletons collapsing from the Necromancers death.
“no one uses the dead of my clan!”
Opal was still angry but was beginning to move to check the ships damage. She mumbled to herself seeing that one of the bastille was damaged and needed to be repaired.
“Everyone back to your stations we are making one finale push for the port.”
The pirates quickly moved at the captains order by working on the Bastille and preparing for anymore boarding’s.
The ship began to increase its speed again outrunning the first attacking ship. They continued through the Ships and finally broke through the blockade of ships. They where forced to stop by one of the ships defending the city. They first made sure we where not going to attack before quickly going over the ship and letting them through.
Opals ship slowly made its way to the dock damaged from its multiple battles and the storm it had been through. On the dock where a number of guards and the docks inspector.
The group on the dock attached a gangplank with the assistance of one of the pirates. Soon the guards where on the ship checking for any hostile movement.
Inspector, “what is your business her during this time of war!”
Aaron stepped forward, “I am the Chosen of the Goddess Enea and I am here to help.”
Inspector, “As if another chosen would be here.”
A woman walked up the gangplank.
Woman, “I would not be so sure of that inspector.”
The man quickly bowed to the woman.
Inspector, “I was not expecting you Chosen!”
Woman, “I give these people permission to enter the city.”
Inspector, “as you wish my lady.”
Aaron finally got a good look of the woman as she turned to them. She was in a fancy Cleric robe that was as revealing as Laee’s. She also had Dark red hair just like Aaron had since he was in Enea’s form.

Woman, “It’s good to see you again Laee.”
Laee, “its good to see you to Kris.”
