Forever Forbidden – Prologue
The docks were quiet and the sea made gentle waves against the pier. The gentle night breeze caused little disturbance in the dark waters of which the moon's reflection was perfectly mirrored.
The dock was the poorer part of this little town, and in this part of the town was The Fisherman's Nook the local tavern and the center of all the sailors activity. Inside the tavern, sailors would drink away their sorrows and worries and prehaps pick up a hooker for the night.
A gently sloping hill give the town its formation and at the top was where the richest residents of the town resided. The largest house consumed most of the town's upper quarters space - The Moore Residence. The Moore family was the richest family in the town and the father of the family, William Moore was the head of the family. Sir Moore spent most of his time over seas arguing petty squabbles with other governors similar to him.
His wife, Edith, and his daughter - the heir to his vast fortune - Elysée were often left to their own idle activities.
Most days for the residents were the same, the fishing boats would dock every two days bringing in all the resources the town needed to survive and the workers at the docks would transport these good to the market square where the citizens of the town bartered and purchased them.
Not much seemed to happen in this quaint little time, however this was about to change. Stronger waves began to form as a large ship sailed quickly to the ship bared no flag, and showed no indication of belonging to the group of fishing boats that the town owned. The drunken workers of the docks. as well as the watchmen saw the on-coming ship and immediately knew who was incoming. Pirates.
Rushing into the tavern one sailor warned the group of the town who were spending their night there. "Pirates!"
The towns reaction was total chaos as the contents of the tavern ran out into the cold night and people began to run back towards their homes. The pirate ship came to a hault as it reached the dock. The pirates jumped off the boat and landed on the pier with a loud thump. Taking out their swords and loaded pistols they began their ravage on the town leaving the residents in a wreck.
Taking everything they could carry the pirates made their way up the hill towards the richer half of the town in search of bigger findings.
