DISCLAIMER: I for one, do not own D. Gray Man and all its wonderful characters! Now, let's begin this journey, shall we?
In the land of the sea and oceans where the waves roamed free with vigor and power, humans have long ago discovered the many ways to ravel through the large water realm without fear of drowning. Sailors, navy and pirates. Each living their own paths with totally different responsibilities and burdens.
Sailors. The adventurous crew worked their blood, sweat and tears to bring people their goods or hard-earned food across oceans.
Navy. To work in the navy was as equivalent to the noblest profession you could ever think of. They are the police of the sea, the law-makers and the protectors of the innocent.
Pirates. The scumbag of the ocean and dishonorable to the fullest. They pillaged, killed, and stole from careless and unlucky ships that dared stand in their way.
But all 3 of those hazardous sea occupations have one thing in common: Belief. Never bring women aboard any ship, for it would mean bad luck and unfortunate accidents because the ship would be 'jealous' of her. Turtle bones are kept in pockets for good luck and fortune as compared to sharks that brought malicious signs that someone was about to die.
The most ominous and serious belief of all was to never, ever, gaze at the moon for too long a time. You may look at the stars to navigate around the ocean, but it was absolutely forbidden to stare at the moon. Why? Because the moon will capture your soul and you would be forever lost to the dark magic within.
Stop with that exasperated look, yer lil scoundrels! T'is truth I speaketh of!
Come, come, and let me tell you a tale where those who fight for justice were not what they seem, and those who were scorned by all were renowned as heroes by creatures who existed only in books and created by moon magic. Art thou intrigued yet? Well-
Come on then! Come and hear the legend of the cold-hearted pirate who fell in love with a merman.
Greetings! I am Kid Darkness, here to say I've returned with yet another story! Unlike my other stories, Silver Neko 08 was the one who introduced me to this plot bunny, so credits shall go to her (and her friend, White Neko 07!) Alas yet again, I find myself uncertain as to whether I should continue this story, so if you'll give me a heads-up, then I'll know =D Hope you enjoy this prologue and I do hope you'll stick around for more!
