Welcome aboard an Asssassin's Creed IV fanfic. Hope you like it.
A man, a ship
Blackbeard's words still sounded in his head: "If it's fame and fortune you seek... then captain Edward Kenway is your man." But this seemed as far from fame and fortune as possible. In fact, this warm night on the West Indies Sea was closer to death. Jackdaw's sails shone in the night like lanterns, as she got closer to another ship. The man drew his saber, and stood by the railing, looking over to the other ship's deck. He glimpsed men preparing their weapons. But, naturally, his attention was drawn to his captain, who shouted: "Men! She is almost taken! Will you have the courage? Will you later brag how you took down an English frigate filled with soldiers? Come!" Captain ran to the side of the ship, grabbed a rope, and swung himself over. Everybody followed, and the man smoothly landed. He avoided an enemy saber, struck the man on the head, and stabbed him.
Rest of the battle was just a blur of steel and smoke. He stopped only when his captain shouted: "They surrendered!" He was breathing heavily, and had a cut on his cheek. But he was alive. "Five dead, two wounded!", quartermaster shouted. "What to do with these?", captain asked, pointing at the kneeling crew of the ship. Most men shouted: "Throw 'em overboard!" "You heard. Now, does anyone here care joining our crew?" Some ten men raised their hands. "Welcome aboard. Throw the rest out.", captain said quietly. No pleads helped the sailors as they sunk. "You wounded?", captain asked the man. He just then realised blood was dripping from his arm. "Looks like I am, captain Kenway.", he smiled. Kenway also smiled: "Well, I be damned if you don't get payed right for your service, now and before." Then he shouted: "We won a new ship. And as tradition says, now I shall name its new captain." He waited a moment.
"Captain Sebastian Chris-Every."
The man couldn't belive. He was the captain! Kenway leaned to him, and said: "A man. A ship. Now you have to get yourself a crew" The man smiled. He heard it again: "If it's fame and fortune you seek...then captain Edward Kenway is your man."
