Fast Voyage

In the world of the nine deadly seas, storms and large waves will be the least of your fears. There are countless numbers of mutated sea beasts, undead pirates, mermaid and mermen, ship eating islands, but worst of all magic. Magic can be consumed which then will grant you power but in return it slowly takes away your life or gives you major side effects. For about one sixth of the pirate population there are some who don't have any side effects nor lose their life. Those few pirates are believed to be connected to the race and island that birthed magic. In the world of pirates things are expected to be stolen and in this case what was stolen were the lives of the race. The race that had so many lives took from them; who might they be you ask? The Symonians of Symonia; a race presumed to be extinct. As for their island sunk and lost. Magic is dying in the nine deadly seas and many seek to bring it back to health while others abuse it. There are many powerful pirates who use magic and that makes the nine seas that much deadlier. Like most living things magic was born. It fed on many and grew. Magic also can get sick and die. The one thing only a few have thought of though is that magic can give birth. Now our story shifts to Floyd Lagoon son of SenToken Lagoon an insanely strong pirate who is a symonian and user of magic. Floyd has never seen his father so now he sets out to not only find his father, answers, and relief but for gold and power.   Your Name: Floyd Lagoon

Race: Symonian

Sex: Male

Age: 25 years old (currently)

Occupation: Pirate

Location: Flintlock Cove, Blood Island - a small island near Flintlock Cove.

Floyd can see Flintlock Cove's harbor, a small dock with two boats tied up there, a boat house on the other side of the cove, a lighthouse on top of a hill that leads to Flintlock Cove, and three ships anchored at the mouth of the cove.

You can see a wooden ladder leading down into the water. A crab scuttles away when Floyd approaches. Behind him is a cliff wall. The wall is made of rough rocks. You can see a narrow path leading west along the ledge to Flintlock Cove.  Floyd asks himself how he can have such a great understanding of geographical positioning and location. Maybe it's a part of his magical powers that he has not fully discovered yet. Out to find his father Floyd remembers that his mother amy told him about Flintlock Cove and why his father married her there. It does not matter to Floyd now though. There are a lot of things Floyd considers for his career as a pirate while walking down the narrow path and realizes he has no crew. Maybe he can recruit some pirates for his crew. He continues to walk west along the edge of the cliff until he reaches the end where it opens into Flintlock Cove.

The cove itself is quite calm and peaceful. A large expanse of beach appears to stretch westward and south into the ocean. In the distance Floyd can see a few pirates loading some merchandise onto their ship. Should FLoyd offer a helping hand or rob them for everything they have. Floyd doesn't carry weapons because he can generate lightning in the palm of his hand and throw it at 370 miles per hour. Floyds finds himself weighing the options but decides not to bother the pirates. They will only think he is a weak pirate and try to steal from him instead. Floyd walks along the beach and sees three more boats tied up at the mouth of the cove. FLoyd ignores them instead of helping or stealing because he noticed one of the ships was a sloop of war and on the ship had a symbol representing the alliance between his father and some other strong pirates. Floyd wonders if he should ask to join them. Maybe the pirates on the ship will know his Floyds father SenToken Lagoon.

Floyd begins to approach the ship that represents the alliance but soon notices a large group of pirates gathered around the sloop of war. Floyd approaches them cautiously and listens in on their conversation. "What do we do now?" "Can't sail without that anchor." "We'll just have to leave it behind." "They're taking too long with it." "Maybe they need help moving it." Floyd then approaches the pirates and offers help. Floyd has offered to fo to the blacksmiths shop and check on the anchor for the pirates. The pirates accept the offer but with suspicion. The long red bearded pirate asks "what does it mean to yar?" Floyd then responds saying "I am the son of SenToken Lagoon and I want to find my father, do you know him?" The pirates look at each other and then burst out in laughter. The short pirate says "no" and the long one says "you're a joke". Floyd thinks to himself how his reputation precedes him. The pirates begin to argue among themselves about who is going to go with Floyd. The red bearded pirate offers to go with Floyd. Floyd kindly accepts. "So son of SenToken you got any magical powers? yohohoho!" asks the red bearded pirate. Floyd proceeds to tell the red bearded pirate about his geographical and lightning powers. "We could use someone like that on our ship, that is if someone actually had those powers yarharhar!" exclaims the red bearded pirate. Floyd and the red bearded pirate now approach the blacksmiths shop and find the anchor. To their surprise they witness a large man who is well built and has a captains hat on threatening the blacksmith with a musket saying "This is an military grade anchor I could use this for me own ship, now lets see it is free right?" The BlackSmith responds "I told you sir the people who own this anchor will be really mad!" The large man the responds "Im captain crab eye and anyone who wants this anchor back will have to see me yarg!" Floyd Thinks to himself that this would be the perfect chance to prove himself to the red bearded pirate. "What are we going to do son of SenToken?" Asks The red bearded pirate. Floyd approaches captain crab eye and says "You won't be taking anybody's anchor." Captain crab eye then goes for his musket. Crab eye starts to pull the trigger but then realises he has a large hole in his body where his heart should be and in the hole is Floyds fist. Floyd punched a hole straight through the captain crab eyes heart with his lightning fist.  "Either you really are the son of SenToken or you have gotten your hands on some consumable magic. Either way we need yar on our ship. Now let's get this anchor." says The red bearded pirate. Floyd agrees with the red bearded pirate and helps the pirates move the anchor into the sloop of war. After they are done the red bearded pirate tells Floyd that he has a place on his ship and a position as a navigator. Floyd didn't know red beard was the captain. Floyd ask red beard what they plan on doing and where they are going to be headed. Redbeard tells Floyd that they have been hired by a rich nobleman to raid the imperial city of Zeffirea and take back something called a 'Bishop's cup'. Floyd is surprised that they weren't after treasure but instead something of religious value. It's even possible it could be a magical item. Floyd and the crew of the sloop of war attach the anchor to the ship and set sail for Zeffirea. Floyd decides to introduce himself to his new crew mates. "His name is Floyd Lagoon son of SenToken Lagoon and he is a symonian and user of magic. He is here to find his father." exclaims redbeard. The crew seems impressed and excited. Some of the pirates have heard of SenToken Lagoon and are happy to finally meet the son of the legendary pirate. Redbeard says "By the way it's Captain RedBeard to you now Mr.Lagoon. Now as our new navigator which way shall the wind take us Floyd?" "Zeffirea should be southeast of Flintlock cove." replies Floyd. "Good lad yah." says Redbeard. Floyd then decides to make himself known to everyone else onboard. "Show us some of that power yur got huh?" asks one of the crew members. Floyd tells him hell save that for another time. Floyd decides to get some rest it will be the first time he has slept on a ship.

Location: Swindling Sea, 2nd Sea 89 miles untill Zeffirea.

FLoyd awakes and the sloop of war is sailing eastward into the open sea. There is a storm brewing in the distance. The crew is working hard to keep the ship in balance. Floyd looks out over the edge of the deck and sees nothing but blackness. Out of nowhere a loud blast echoes from the distance. A cannon shot. "Full sail ahead!" yells Redbeard. The crew then prepares for battle. Floyd tries to observe the enemy but he can't see anything in the darkness. Then he hears a voice. "Captain Redbeard! We have sighted the imperial fleet!" "Were out numbered!" yells Redbeard. Floyd stands up and says "what!?" "They're coming from the north!" Redbeard says. "Prepare to fire upon their flagship!" shouts Redbeard. "Fire!" cries Redbeard and the cannons roar in unison. A sound so beautiful for some and scary for others. A total of 20 cannonballs are sent flying towards the Imperial flagship. Only a few hit but then the cannon balls exploded! "Explosive cannon balls i'll be damned! Good thinking Captain RedBeard." exclaims Floyd. Just as floyd thought the worst was over reinforcements arrive from their back end! What will Floyd do now? "You said you wanted to see my powers didn't you? Well pay attention!" Floyd's eyes glow with electricity and his heart beats extremely fast. He raises his arms generating a large lightning ball. He yells as he launches the large ball of lightning towards the reinforcements and the imperial fleet is melted to a crisp. The imperial fleet has been defeated. The crew is more scared and concerned rather than impressed and grateful. How come there hearts are so filled with fear all of a sudden? Floyd thinks to himself. "Are you alright son of SenToken Lagoon?" asks Redbeard. "Of course why do you ask?" Redbeard responds "you looked like a god when you attacked that fleet... your whole appearance changed." Floyd responds saying "Im sure its nothing. Lets keep going were almost at Zeffirea."
