Now Many of you probably think of Pirates and Pirate Captain's as heartless killers, thieves and many other bad things and in Many cases you would be right, But there are a few who are not so heartless, yes they kill and find treasure but if you are on their good side then you find a friend, Confidant and even lover. Caption Merdine was one of these kind of Pirate. His crew was his family; He was their father in anything but blood, but unfortunately he was dieing and so he went out to find his successor.
And so he started his search at The Pigs Head Inn, Some would say he was fortunate to find a young women coming down the creaking wood lice eaten stairs. It was obvious she was not from around here. Her posture was too proper, her dress showed less skin then a new born baby. But her blue eyes were as cold as ice bergs. In short she reminded him of his late wife when he first meet her. He started walking in a slow calculating pace over to her but suddenly stopped as quickly she raised her nee and stopped the owner of the inn from ever producing.
'Yes' he thought 'she would do well as my successor and Caption of me ship after I die'. Some would say it was that thought that condemned thousands of lives.
She turned her cold blazing eyes on him as he carried on walking to her in his slow pace. She calculated his every move, the expressions that ran over his body and emotions in his piercing emerald eyes.
He held out his right hand out to her beckoning her to take it, and not to be out done she slid her mirrored hand into his. He led her to a small grubby looking pub. To which he led her to a dark corner table and ordered them so ale.
The silence was comforting but was broken as he opened his moustache covered mouth and "What is your name lass?" he asked with a old English accent. "Wendy. But you will call me Nancy" she replied in a bitter cold emotionless voice. It struck just how cold she really was. It didn't put him off though, It only made him more sure than ever. " Now what do you want with him sir.?"
"Well. Nancy, to put it blunt I want you to join my crew and take over as Caption when I die." Anyone could tell that the answer he gave her was not what she had expected. A bitter smirk formed on her full lip as she nodded her head to him. They drank their ale in silence and left the small pub.
He took her to some shops as it was obvious that the only clothes she had were the ones on her back. He also brought her a small black pistol and a hand knife to which he strapped to her left thigh.
He then took her to most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
His ship.
