Disclaimer; Clearly I do not own any character that stems from the Descendant. The original characters will make an appearance don't worry but I wanted to start setting the world I have in my head for these few character that will become very important to the progression of the story.
Also note that English is not my first language neither is it my main one, even if I'm fluent. If you can share tips for the common mistakes I make please feel free to share them with me.
Not let's jump into the story, in hope that you like it.
Rumours had grown rampant over the years on Auradon about Captain Hook's life before the barrier came down. Rumours about his trip through the world on the Jolly Roger. A life of looting, scavengers, apparently a looker in his youth he had left lovestruck ladies anywhere is magnificent boat would dock. But then he had gotten trapped on the Isle of the lost, stuck in a loveless relationship, far away from his true love, the magnificent sea. He had become a bitter pirate raising his own spawn with violence and anger. It was no surprise that both children ended up leaving the home way before they were considered legal.
Harry, his older son had found a crew of like-minded people in Gil and Uma and they had built his boat from scratch. He was, unfortunately at first, only the first mate and it wasn't really to his entire liking. But he could have found worst for a captain, he guessed. That was until Uma decided to take matters into her own hands and got sent to another punishment by King Ben of Auradon. Since then the teenager was now a captain of his boat, which he had renamed the "lady freedom".
This morning the news of a new proclamation coming from Auradon was the rumour running along the Island. What had the pirate son's crew done to actually deserve to be sent to Auradon Prep. They weren't completely happy because that would mean they couldn't bring the boat with them but they would find a way. Harry Hook himself didn't know what he had done to get the "privilege" of going to Auradon, and he wasn't sure he wanted to find out. But it was his chance to get far away from the grips of his unhinged father and Gil was already up for it so he guessed he'd follow his friend too.
He could hear his long-time friend approaching and he turns around from the boat. "Harry we gotta go, this is our last chance to prove we are not our parents." Harry didn't know when Gil had accepted his new faith but the Scottish pirate wasn't sure he was believing it himself. Hadn't he proved time and time again that he was having angry, violent and unhinged has his own father. Gil might have been a bit less villainous than him but both pirates had made their proof. "Do you mean to prove we are worst?" The blond raised his shoulder himself unsure of the answer. Harry figured he just wanted to get out of the island just has much as everyone else. The reason was just unsure for the moment.
But what happened next would be forever a surprise for the pirate. Is blond friend simply shrugged his shoulder before he started to respond to his friend. "I don't know maybe we can give it as chance. Maybe that way we will be able to take your boat out of this forsaken island and really experience the high sea." That the seamen could agree with. His boat needed to experience the sea and not the waters surrounding the isle. But there was one question that burns the pirate's lips. Gil was not known for his brilliant views. Even if the pirate knew for a fact, the son of Gaston was more intelligent than he would show it was really rare that he would show it. "Gil when did you get wise?" He was really curious on what had pushed the blond teenager to finally speak is mind on the subject. Even if both of them could agree that lady freedom needed to be liberated from the isle of the lost.
"Don't know just a fleeting thought. And let's be honest I'm tired of the villain women they don't surprise anymore. I need something fresh." The pirate turned to his friend who was already walking away to get off the boat and finally on the isle where he would meet the contingent of teenagers and children that had been chosen this time. "There ya are!" The pirate ran after what he could definitely call his best friend to follow him to the buses that were waiting on them. He wasn't sure if everyone that was chosen was such a great idea but maybe he and Gil could find their footing on Auradon, make their mark and be allowed to travel with their boat. But maybe letting so many villain kids onto the mainland was not such a great idea. Mostly now that he was seeing who had been chosen to come with him and Gil. Some were perfect, they had never been fit for this island, they were too … innocent. Most of them like him and Gil had always done what was needed to survive but they were a few in the groups he knew would cause a lot of trouble. But he wasn't the one who would rat on them. He wasn't a bloody traitor.
A huge boat was approaching the shores of Auradon and while the boat was approaching and everyone else was occupied looking at Auradon Prep's castle two silhouettes were occupied looking at the Isle of the lost. Visibly lost in their thought. The magnificent blond man was looking at the brunette intently while she was lost in her own mind. "What are you thinking about?" The blond man was looking in the same direction as his girlfriend when he asked the question. All he could see was the isle of the lost and he was wondering what was in the brunette's mind thinking about all this. He knew her so well he knew exactly where her thought were but he also knew she needed to voice them. If she didn't voice them, they would never become real in her mind and she would never really face them.
Never breaking her focus she started to answer the question. "The Isle. I've heard of it all my life but had never seen it before." Her Scottish accent was really thick. Being raised by Merida had given her that beautiful accent that the women, she still called her mother had. But while she was not the redhead's daughter she was Scottish in her own right, from her biological father. Yes, she had been raised has Merida's daughter but her adopted sister, Mara, had never let her forget that she was just that, adopted. In her mid twenties now she had just learned of her real heritage and she couldn't help but be intrigued. A lot about her could be explained now, the magic in her blood and her love of the sea all in one little body. She was the illegitimate daughter of the infamous Captain Hook and a woman that was rumored to be Tinkerbell or should I say a fairy. Abandon at birth by her mother she had never been sent to the island when the barrier had come down, and who knew where that women were now. Maybe she had become trapped by the island also. Instead she had been raised by the Scottish clan with their custom, because of this she was a great Archer that rivalled Madelaine, Mara and Marco the legitimate children of the Scottish matriarch. But her true loved would always be the sea, she was a fierce swimmer, preferring the high sea to a pool.
She, also, never really looked like her family with the exception of her porcelain skin. She had eyes the colour of the sea, raven coloured hair that was quite unruly, like the women who had raised her but in a very different way. But the knowledge of her heritage it put a lot of things in perspective. She now understood the magic in her vein, she just needed to get a handle on it as it had a tendency to explode out of her. Yeah that she would truly need help. She was hopeful that now that she would be coaching at Auradon Prep fairy godmother would accept to help her gain control on that aspect of herself. She didn't want to be seen has a villain by the princesses and princes of the mainland. She had to be raised around them and had gone to another private college in the Scottish land, where people had gotten use to the outburst of magic coming from her. But even druids were not enough to calm the boiling fairy in her. Only a fairy could help, according to them.
She felt a hand on her arm and she turned her head toward the man next to her. "Are you really just here to finally meet your half-brother and half-sister?" No, she was not. She had been recruited to coach the brand new swimming team at Auradon prep and give swimming lessons to those who were in need of lessons. But know that on the bus that she could see drive on the magical bridge at this instant was her half-brother and her half-sister was a little something she was impatient to see. If only from far away. "No, you are here to teach the new class about remedial goodness and I'm here to build a swimming team for Auradon prep. But I can't help being curious about the place I could have been born. And curious to know if some of my issue comes from my mother or from my father." She was talking about some of the crazy behaviour she had always had. Like her temper flaring up like a tornado, or how she could be vindictive and almost a scary opponent when she was angry. A way about her when she truly became unhinged, she was scary, a dangerous woman. With a heart of gold. It was really weird how she was the definition of the complex interaction of nature versus nurture.
"Stop worrying about that will you, Witley you are not weird." Only Aaron would say she wasn't weird, he was apparently attracted to weird anyway. But he had been raised here. They had only met in college, where she had been so much more mature than during her teenage years. But he had seen some of her outburst, the fact that he was still here after those was a proof that he was somewhat attracted to her weirdness. After all hadn't his father been attracted to a mute who ended up being a magnificent mermaid. His own mother, a force to be recon with because of her sheer will to get what she wanted. " For you this is a homecoming." He nodded to her while he tugged her off. Simply to press her against him. An embrace that she accepted very well letting herself go in his arm wondering what was in her future, in their future. "Let's go, Madelaine, Mara and Marco must be impatient to be let out of this boat. They didn't fare too well on the boat." She broke the silent first thinking of her brother and sisters who had been so sea sick they had sworn they wanted to go back to their old school now. You see they were also transferring students just not villain kids. Both of them starting to walk to join her family and his sister that had accompanied them, even tho she was already a student of Auradon Prep, living somewhat close enough to their school. But she had been a tremendous help with the three sea-sick teen. "They clearly don't have their sea legs yet." It was the last word she spoke before joining her family.
They would never see him coming they would be too busy looking after the pirates to look at everything he was doing. He was thinking while he was looking straight in front f him, thinking and planning his evil plan. He would steal the wand and bring it to his father. Then he would finally be his favourite and he would be allowed to reign supreme as his father's right-hand man. They would never see him coming, he was alway's the runt after all, the one they could pick on, the one they could bully and beat up. So much that he had learned to be invisible. And that is how he would stay, so that he could finally enact his vengeance.
