So, I'm a terrible person. That much is obvious from my giving you a six-word chapter and then not updating for like two weeks. Sorry about that by the way.

Anyway!

Here is another update!

I.O.N.

Enjoy!

The night watchman shivered from where he was huddled at the top of the crow's nest holding onto to fleeting warmth his blanket provided. It was an especially cold night, and he really couldn't wait until the morning shift relieved him. But as luck would have it, he would be the one that ended up spotting something in the early predawn light.

At first, the guard was glad for the chance to move around and regain feeling in his limbs. But as he neared the captain's cabin, the more his relief was replaced with dread at the aspect of actually having to interact with the Captain. He was known to have a short temper and was often cruel to those who he deemed to be wasting his time.

Tentatively the man knocked on the cabin door. It took a few moments before there was any sound within, and it made him just nervous enough to consider the pros and cons of jumping overboard for an impromptu swim lesson. But then the door opened and in the doorway stood a very annoyed looking captain. "What?" He spat bitterly.

"C-Captain sir! I've um spotted w-what appears to be a-a um an island in the distance."

Suddenly the Captain went from angry and annoyed to all business, "Why are you just standing there?! Go rouse the rest of the men!"

"Yes, sir!"

By the time the sun had fully risen from the horizon, the crew members were assembled on the top deck and all staring warily at their captain as he stared menacingly out at the distant island, a crazed smile on his face. He had been obsessed with finding this island for years, and now those efforts would finally be repaid. It didn't matter to him that he had barely been present for his own wedding, or that he had completely missed the birth of his daughter. In fact, it was a topic amongst his men in whether or not he even knew he had a daughter for how much thought he paid his family.

But never the less, he was their Captain (he signed the paychecks).

One brave (or stupid) young soul went up to speak to him, "Um, Captain Dylan sir?" For a moment the rest of the men held their breath fearing that he would lash out and hurt the boy.

"What."

"Well, Captain, the crew and I were just wondering about what we would be doing on the island, now that you've found it?" The flinched, afraid his question had angered the man, as Dylan grabbed his shoulder.

Dylan smiled cruelly at the fear and said to the entire crew, "You all are going to do whatever I tell you to. And right now, you are going to ransack that island until you can find me someone who knows where I can find Ladybug and that accursed ship Tikki."

This was honestly a chapter I came up with in a day and it feels like the first time my well of creativity has flowed at all in a short while, so I really do hope you enjoyed.

Comment what you thought!

Hope you enjoyed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day!
