The captain smiled steadily, his eyes set on the kingdom of the snowqueen. Arendelle and its locked treasures. They would dock, this evening.
His eyes turned to his crew, the bulk of men singing their tunes. "We dock past sundown!"
There was whistling and bouts of approval, the men wanted rest and food, women if there was, and of course a place to rest properly.
Edward grunted and looked out at the ship's within the docks, two flags were the one's he was after.

Elsa lay besides her husband, her skin covered in sweat. There was bruises on her neck and across her chest that marred her skin. She was not used to him being so rough suddenly.
She turned slowly and placed her hand over his naked torso, she felt shameful. It was midday and already had she been his, in fact she had been his property everyday since that night. It seemed that their relationship was finally making sense. It was as if slowly they were falling in love again.
She suddenly saddened. Even if it felt as if she was the love of his life, Katrina, had stayed behind. She had claimed that she had some things to settle with the king and queen of the Southern Isles. And she was trying to spend time with Hans. Elsa sighed against her sleeping husbands chest.
What was worse was that Gretel liked Katrina more than she liked her. The queen knew it was not going to be easy, to regain everything she had let go. But she did not know what to do at the moment. All her life she was trained to think a certain way that... her blue eyes shifted from her husbands chest to the ceiling.
It was as if she had become a submissive girl.
Again a sigh escaped her lips, and this time there was a response. Hans wriggled his fingers through her blond hair and sloppily opened his green eyes.
"I cannot believe that you're finally laying next to me. After so many years of waiting for this moment."
Elsa looked at him now, but she ignored the comment. "She wants to win Gretel over."
Hans furrowed his brows, "what are you talking about?"
"That woman, the queen of Tamriel." Elsa gritted her teeth. She had never felt so envious of anyone in her life.
"Then I suggest you beat her to it. Make your daughter fall in love with you, as much as you've made me fall in love with you." Hans was dead serious. His warm eyes had gone hard. "I think you should work on helping her understand what happened. But not fully tell her our story, Elsa." he suddenly sat up, looking for his clothes.
"I have to go, we are having a routine scan around the waters. I might be in a month." He stood quickly dressing. He buckled up his pants and Elsa's eyes lingered on him.
"I hope that you try," he looked back to her. "Try so hard that Gretel will forever trust you."
With those words said, he finished dressing without saying more, kissed her forehead and walked out of the room not looking back.
The queen of Arendelle closed her eyes and sighed again. Gretel hated her, with all the rights in the world. Laying back a little longer she closed her eyes. How different things were now. Now that she was his.

Fire. Screaming. Unholy acts.
The horses down in the farm of james reared violently as the flames barn ravaged the stables. There was screaming as evil deeds were being held.
Jim searched around for his victim, he had some unfinished business with a fair skinned girl with hazel eyes.
He knew he'd brought terror, and god did he love it. He smashed the woods adorning the house, and the vases that the owner of the house cherished so much. He could tell that the house was in distress, as the flames burned it.
There was coughing and running. But he didn't care, for now his objective had not been seen yet. He'd seen children run with their fathers, girls and boys. Her sisters, but not her. He'd called out to her, and she hadn't answered.
Amos held at daughter and pulled on Heidi's hand as they ran through the corridors of the house, the flames had luckily not gotten to anyone, they were the last ones in the house and sadly the ones that Jim was looking for. He held a thick sword in his hands and when he caught sight of them a twisted smile greeted his lips.
"Well, well. And here I thought you'd marry that traitorous bastard." He chuckled darkly. "Not this goof." He pointed his weapon towards the small family. "And look you have a little girl, is she as pretty as you are?"
Heidi hugged onto her husband and daughter closely. "Leave her alone."
"Don't you worry your pretty little head, doll, I'm here for you. After 6 years. I came back for you." He smiled gruesomely making the girl shiver.
"Now here's the deal," he lifted his sword as he spoke. "You come with me, and nothing will happen to your family." Jim began stepping closer.
"Mama, I'm scared." The small child on her papa's arms closed in on his neck.
"If you dont come I'll happily take your little girl in your place. What do you say?"
Amos gritted his teeth, "if you think-" there was a slice in the air suddenly and there was blood Heidi screamed as her husband and daughter fell to the ground. The child cried in fear and Amos blinked rapidly. He had only cut his cheek.
"Thing are different aren't they?" Jim chuckled, "now that that pesky prince isn't here to protect your family."

"Princess, Anna!" Fred ran across the corridors of the castle and panted as he spoke. "Princess, Anna!"
Anna quickly walked to Fred, a worried expression on her face, it could not be good if her head guard was this anxious. "We're not sure what's happening, but James Hugh was found, badly injured, he had an arrow across his shoulder, he's lost a lot of blood. And his house was in flames." He breathed better now.
"We were informed that it was a band of bandits." He swallowed, "but we don't know if it has anything to do with Edward Kenway, or Blackbeard."
Anna's face contorted between fear and anxiety, Kristoff settled his hand on her shoulder. "Anna we have to contact Elsa, otherwise we don't know what can happen."
The princess took in a deep breath, "it's too late to reach out for Elsa... besides she's on... her honeymoon..." she bit at her thumbnail. "Anna, we HAVE TO let her know what's happening."
"What if the messenger ship gets destroyed, Kristoff?" She held at her growing belly and closed her eyes. "I'm... I don't know what to do." She looked helplessly at Frederick, her eyes watery with tears. "What do we do?"
"I suggest calling Admiral Nigel. He's in charge of the fleet, and talk to General-"
"No." Guinevere appeared out of nowhere, her fan held tightly in between her hands. "We will not attack Jackdaw, we cannot make any decisions without fully knowing what happened I'm reality."
"Well," Kristoff angrily looked towards her, "then what do you suggest we do?"
She rolled her eyes at the man and pinched her lip together. "I suggest we send out Admiral Nigel to investigate himself what the pirates could possibly want, and to send out an sos to The Queen." She fanned herself as usual.
"That could take weeks!" Anna spoke out helpless. "Yes it would take weeks, but we need the queen to be the one here, to solve these problems. I don't know how she ever thought you would be capable of taking charge of the kingdom. Not even a week and already we are being threatened by pirates."
"Guinevere, the problem is that people are already being hurt." Anna pointed her hand at Frederick, "Fred just came with that news-"
"Well these type of things never happened when Jet Rhyus was in charge." Fred gritted his teeth but looked down.
"These things happen when untrained people are given important roles." Guinevere shook her head angrily.
Suddenly another guard rushed in. "There is another fire!"
Anna furrowed her brows and began to breath shakily.
Fred looked down, "prepare the troops!"

Elsa smiled softly as she played with her daughters hair, it was so strange to her, how quickly Gretel could understand what part of their story, she had only told her good things, and part of why she had to keep them a secret. She had never mentioned why Hans had needed to kill an evil siren, or what he had done to Anna, she didn't need to tell her. In fact, Elsa didn't want for any of them to know. It had been a few weeks yes.
Katrina had lost all interest in Gretel as soon as Hans had jumped on the ship as Admiral Hans, and Elsa had promised she would gain her daughters trust during that time he was gone.
Elsa kept playing with her daughters hair and the small child suddenly spoke. "I still think you're the evil queen."
Elsa couldn't help a soft smile. "I hope you can grow to trust me one day."
"Katrina, said that one day you'll pass me down the crown to Arendelle. Is that true?"
The queen stiffened slightly but nodded nonetheless, "it's your right as my daughter, Gretel."
"I thought I would never be a queen, just as my papa... would never be a king." Her blue eyes went to the ground as she said those words, catching a slight speck of dirt on the polished floor.
"Your... Hans is a King." Elsa spoke softly. "I made him the King of Arendelle."
Gretel looked up at Elsa with hopeful eyes, and just as quick as her eyes lighted up they dimmed in question. "Then why are we here, and not in Arendelle?" She pulled away from Elsa and crossed her arms, small snowdrops falling from the ceiling, "if you're the queen and papa is the king, and I'm the princess, then why aren't we taking care of our kingdom? Who's taking care of it now?"
Elsa couldn't help but smile, a child was indeed such a gift. "We're here... because I wanted to apologize..." she held her hand out to the child's chin, "to you."
Queen History walked in and cleared her throat as she did so. Putting a forced smile on her face as she saw Elsa.
"Queen Elsa, good evening." The blond smiled formally in return and stood from her seat, "good evening. "
"I will be taking Gretel to her room, and read her a story as I do every night, and tuck her to sleep. If you'll excuse me-"
"Mama-History..." Gretel looked up that her mother, her eyes shy. "If-if my mother doesn't mind it, I want to spend the night with her." She looked down. "I can control my ice better when I'm around her."
Queen History blinked a few times and swallowed hard. "If that is ok with the queen, then it's ok with me." Elsa could tell it was not ok with her, in fact she knew it was quite the opposite. "Well then, have a pleasant evening, and goodnight. I will return to my chambers, if you need anything Gretel, please come look for me." She smiled again only this time quickly and rudely and walked away without looking back.
Elsa bit her lip and looked down at her child, "Gretel, can I ask you something?"
The small girl nodded as the two walked out of the book room and into the hallway. Their shoes clicked against the tile of the castle and Elsa grabbed at her hand.
"If I was to have another baby, a sibling of yours would you be alright with-"
Gretel stopped in her tracks, "you're having a baby with papa?"
Elsa closed her eyes her lips pinched in a thin line. "I don't know."

Hans ran as soon as they docked, he was on Arendelles border when he received the news. All hell had broken loose in Arendelle.
James was grieving, Heidi had been kidnapped, princess Anna was having complications with her pregnancy there was fights across Arendelle and so many other rumors had greeted him across the waters. The royal guards had fought against an impossible, if the rumors were true then he had no idea what they were up against.
"It's our lord!" He heard shouts of praise as he set foot on the market surrounding the docks. "Welcome, king Hans!"
There was a shudder on his part he was not accustomed to being greeted as such. He nodded his head with a confused smile. What had happened to Edward Kenway and his crew?
Suddenly he was approached by Frederick, "my lord, you're back. This is great news." He smiled genuinely, "please come."
Xoxoxo
Anna sat silently across from Hans, never in her life did she think she had to give him full authority of Arendelle again. "Where is my sister?" Her eyes were threatening but she didn't really mean to be. It was just awkward.
"Princess Anna, I was scouting. I had not planned to return to Arendelle just yet, but I was stopped by a messenger, and I was told that Arendelle was not only in flames, but was being threatened by Kenway." He looked to her with those beautiful green eyes of his.
"Well... those pirates came and..." her eyes teared up, "and they took care of the bandits." She swallowed hard.
"What?" Hans looked confused. "Edward Kenway?"
"Yes, those bandits had been using his name to bring fear into kingdoms, and since him and his crew were after them, their ship, the Jackdaw, was always close by. It was an ex sailor, Jim and his band. They were taken care of."
Hans shook his head quickly, "Anna, I mean princess Anna, what-where is James, Heidi?" He looked at her his eyes scanning her face.
Anna licked her lips, "I wish I had good news, your highness... unfortunately I don't. James is recovering, our Lord oversaw his injury."
"He's alive?" Hans suddenly looked to her with worry, "and Heidi?"
"Hans... just... please... she's alive... but she's not well..."
The redhead looked at Anna in confusion. "Jim killed Amos..."
"Oh no." Hans stood quickly, but was held back by Anna, her hand wrapping around his. "Hans, please." Her eyes were soft. "Let her grieve her loss..."
He looked at the princess and nodded his head. Kristoff cleared his throat as he walked into Elsa's dispatch, his eyes on Anna's and Hans knitted hands. "Am I interrupting something?" His blonde brow rose and Anna's eyes went wide while quickly letting go of Hans hands.
"No of course not, eww."
