“Oh like my ring do you?”A voice said.. It seemed irrelevant. By this point all I could see was the gem filling my sight.”Hmm this one has at least some potential.. Yess, ha, lets see how he does first.” The voice irrelevantly carried on. Suddenly the jewel was gone. I flinched and suddenly felt out of breath everything was spinning. I fell against the railing trying to get my wind back.I could see the man now. He was slender almost femininely, Just a little over six feet tall if I had to guess with piercing red eyes. He had to rapiers on his hips one black like tar with another blood jewel on the hilt the other seemingly the opposite, a snow white with a yellow jewel in the hilt. He had a black coat covering his body similar to the First Mate. Wait is this.. The Captain?

Jason Von Elradis Title Captain (Pirate) ???? ????

I gulped ”Why don’t you join the crew? I’ll be watching.” The captain laughed after saying those words and his eyes seemed to flash. The bloodlust came back stronger this time almost completely overriding my reason all I saw was red I had a strong metal taste in my mouth. With that said I hopped over the railing onto the Bisentine and joined in the fighting. With my sight red all I saw were the military uniforms. I saw all the carnage .. and loved it. Many men on both sides were dead or dying . The lucky ones had their throats cut, or hearts pierced, some even had crushed skulls. The rest.. Well gut wounds, pierced or crushed lungs, blood loss, some even had .. unwilling amputations performed,although maybe I should count them as lucky blood loss kills the last ones quick. I saw a man to my right the look of disgust in his eyes. Then his eyes found mine and with that look I knew. One of us was going to kill the other and forget about it. Everything else was irrelevant just me against him and one of us was going to die.

There was no one between us and with the frenzy I was in I didn’t think twice. I stepped forward and lunged at him with my pike.His cutlass parried it to the side while he swung at me with his left aiming towards my stomach.I twisted to the side and shoved him with the pike trying to knock him off balance.He over swung with the punch,not expecting me to dodge while in a frenzy and with the shove he stumbled back his left arm raised and hs side exposed this time when I lunged there was nothing he could do. The pike pierced into the mid part of his torso , while I doubt I hit his heart something major was pierced. When I pulled the pike up blood shot out covering me, the wound bled profusely there was no recovering from that wound.My bloodlust only grew from the kill that metal taste was in the air now too. Huh so that metal .. it’s blood.With that the rest of my reason fled and I was just like the rest of the crew. How many people I killed how badly I was injured none of it is within my ability to recollect. However all of it changed with a bright flash of light.Well that wouldn’t be entirely accurate calling it light I mean it is, but it isn’t. Hmm let's call it the magical flash of mind clearing and explosions. Why do I call it that? Simple,firstly the rage/frenzy ended immediately, and two everyone hit by it went flying in a very similar manner to those who happen to be next to an explosion which due to the earlier powder flasks or grenades (irrelevant) I was now familiar with. Which is how I ended up flying ten feet before slamming back onto the deck of the Bisentine. I was exhausted, all I could do was watch and breathe,even standing was beyond me.

“Heh, blood suckers, tough in their own right.But any holy element is extremely irritating to them.” Said a voice.It was a, gentle? male's voice on the lighter side. I rolled my head over to look. It was a man of average height with curly blond hair,blue eyes, and tanned skin. He was wearing a tight blue overcoat with the sleeves cut off it left his chest exposed and honestly only covered his back, it looked like a rather light fabric too. His left hand was on a symbol necklace of some sort, his right was in the hilt of a broad sword with a blue jewel on its hilt. It appeared as if he’d just walked out of the captain cabin at the stern of the ship.”However that knowledge is useless to most without time to implement it.” He frowned as he carried on “You can stop pretending now even though that was the best I can do it seems as if it wasn’t enough.”He gave a self mocking smile as he shook his head.All of a sudden I heard a strangely familiar laugh I’d never heard it before but the voice sounded familiar.. My brain was still shaken from the light of mind clearing and explosions at least I think that's what I called it so forgive me for my lack of cognitive ability.Then I learned where that laugh came from. “Well pup i’ll give it to ya, it packs a hell of a kick but i’m not as young as I use to be.You’ll have to do better.”It was the First Mate!

Wait wait wait. Did he just say BLOOD SUCKERS ? I was in a crew of blood suckers? Were they all? Am I the only one who wasn’t ? BUT THEY WERE IN THE SUN, BLOOD SUCKER CAN’T GO INTO THE SUN! FUCKS SAKE THE SUN WAS OUT RIGHT NOW! While I was stunned into silence those two just carried on as if what they were implying wasn’t earth shaking.”An elder huh,how have your sort managed to get so close without setting off the sun stone?” The tan man asked”We’re testing some recent advances in blood sorcery, rather surprised to run into you.”The First Mate conversed while picking up his saber and holding it ready.Seeing that the Tan man drew his broadsword holding it out similarly.”Figures,”the Tan man said then his eyes drifted over to me in confusion.”What about that one,why isn't he like the others?”He questioned. Others? I looked around to quite the sight.Bodies everywhere most dead or dying ,the rest seemingly fine of injured but unconscious.Some were uhh smoking? But I was pretty numb to strange things right now.” Well aren’t you curious hahaha that’ll be your death if you aren’t careful.”Was the only response the First Mate gave with a strange grin on his face.Then in a flash he drew his flintlock and fired seemingly without even aiming.
