The waves rocked the boat ever so slightly, lulling the passengers to sleep. While everyone dreamed away, Aislynn remained awake. She still wasn't used to sleeping on a boat. It had been a couple months since she had joined the crew, yet she could only get to sleep after falling unconscious from being too tired. So she continued to lay in her hammock, imagining what island they would appear on next.
It was only months ago that she had joined the Lark Pirates. Most of the crew didn't take kindly to Aislynn, as they tended to be skilled pirates. Aislynn was just a young girl who had nothing to back her up. That said, she did have skills. She was a great translator, knowing 20 different languages, some even extinct. This helped the crew translate old maps and books that were languages that normal people couldn't read. The captain, Mister Raphael, was kind however. He treated all his crew like decent people, even if not all of them were.
Aislynn swung back and forth in the hammock. Even if she tried to force herself, there was no chance of her getting to sleep. So she slipped out of the hammock and walked to the deck.
No one was there, so it was calm. The dark nighttime sky perfectly contrasting against the glimmering flicker of the stars. The salt water air always made Aislynn feel at peace. Though suddenly, breaking the silence, a horn called out. It was a single tone, though very crisp. It brought chills to Aislynn.
Though just as soon as the horn came, it disappeared. With its absence, Aislynn heard a stir in the captain's quarters. The door opened and Raphael walked out. He was dreary eyed, yawning and sluggishly walking. He stopped however when he noticed Aislynn.
"Good morning," greeted Aislynn with a smile. "Though it still appears night."
Raphael remained silent, even looking slightly confused.
"Mister Raphael?" questioned Aislynn.
Raphael shook his head.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" asked Raphael.
So I got inspired by watching One Piece episode 221,"The Mysterious Boy With the Whistle and Robin's Guess!". It played just last night on Toonami and got inspired. I was like, why not? So I drew inspiration from memory loss and am making a plot line revolving around it and trying to cure it. Not exactly like the episode, okay; just so you know.
Any way, the form is on my profile, along with the rules. There is a reason why the rules are first... READ THEM!
Review what you think of the prelude, what you want to see in the story to come, whether you want a happy or sad ending, or anything else. Just no submissions via review. Those can get this story deleted, and that ain't going to happen!
The rest of what happens will be in the next chapter, along with how Aislynn will meet the rest of the crew. I may even through in a flashback for Aislynn, though that is if the chapter doesn't drag on.
Have a nice day.
