Death Cannot Stop True Love
Inigo's Piracy
Inigo stood at the mast of his ship. He watched over his crew as they scurried to carry out his every order. If the Dread Pirate Roberts told you to do something, you did it. Inigo was dressed in black from head to toe. His long, dark hair was pulled neatly back. The six-fingered sword was still at his side.
"Move the sail, we need more wind." Inigo ordered.
"Yes, Captain," The crew members replied. They heaved the sail until they noticed a significant increase in speed.
"Much better." Inigo commented.
Fezzik bounded up from the lower deck. "In.Roberts, Roberts. The men have counted some of the money."
"And." Inigo had to remain stern in front of the crew.
"They are at 400,000 already!" Fezzik could barely control himself. He was beginning to drool excitedly.
"Good." Inigo said with a boastful tone. Then he motioned Fezzik to wipe the drool and said quietly, "Fezzik, we're rich!" Their celebrations were cut short when one of the crew members cried out.
"Ship ahead!" Inigo raced to the front of the ship. Sure enough, a Florinese ship was sailing towards them.
"If they do not surrender, give them no mercy." Inigo ordered. Then, loud enough for the ship to hear, Inigo cried, " I am the Dread Pirate Roberts! Surrender or face my wrath!"
That was when the first cannon ball was fired. But it didn't come from ahead, it came from behind. Inigo whirled to see that he was surrounded by the whole Florinese Navy.
"Brace yourselves, men." Inigo ordered. He was getting nervous.
"Hand over Inigo Montoya and we shall do you no harm." The enemy demanded.
"We know nothing of this Inigo Montoya," replied Inigo. He was very nervous now.
"We'll give you one more chance. Hand him over!"
"We will do no such thing!" Inigo shouted back.
All hell broke loose. Cannon balls bombarded the ship. Men invaded. Inigo had his hands full with three very skilled swordsmen. After awhile he out preformed them and moved on to the next.
Inigo was so busy defending himself that he didn't even think of his lesser- skilled crew. Most of them had been slaughtered by this point. Inigo fought on to defend his honor until the enemy finally retreated. He watched as the Florinese sailed away like a dog with its tail between its legs. Little did he know that the Florinese had accomplished their assigned task.
Inigo surveyed the damage. All of his crew had been slaughtered except one young fellow named Jastus. Jastus was a worthy swordsman, so he was able to survive.
"We'll have to get a new crew." Jastus stated the obvious. Inigo nodded. Then it hit him.
"Where's Fezzik?" he asked. Jastus shrugged.
Inigo raced down to the lower deck. He found Fezzik slumped over the table where the money was counted. "Fezzik?" he said with small hope. Inigo lifted up the giant's head.
Dead.
"Fezzik, Please! I need you!" Inigo was hysterical now. Jastus crept back up to the upper deck to leave him alone. The Spaniard looked over the giant's body to see how they had done him in. Through the heart, no doubt. He the noticed a white paper sticking out of Fezzik's shirt pocket. He pulled it out and read it.
"Inigo Montoya, You killed my best friend, I've killed yours. Your sense of vengeance has gotten you into trouble. ~King Humperdink of Florin."
The familiarity of the words rang in Inigo's head.
"He will pay." Inigo vowed to Fezzik. "My friend, don't allow me a night's rest until he is killed."
Inigo returned to the upper deck. There he found Jastus, checking over the bodies.
"We have a mission ahead of us, Jastus." Inigo told him.
"A mission, sir?" asked Jastus.
"I have to seek revenge of my best friend's killer. I'm going to need your help." Inigo told him.
"Whatever you need," Jastus replied.
"What you have to do is keep the ship in hiding while I go seek Humperdink. Wait a fortnight and if I do not return, you will seek the help of Westley. He is a man that lives in the hills of Guilder. I will give you a map. Tell him my situation and he will be sure to help." Inigo informed him.
They sailed on until they reached a secluded area on the Florinese coastline. Inigo got off the ship and bid farewell to Jastus, who began to sail away. Inigo began to travel and realized he had ended up in the Thieves Forest. Perfect, he thought to himself. He rented a horse from an old man and began to travel toward the castle. He rode many miles until he began to see the castle on the skyline. Inigo stopped to let the beast rest. About 2 miles to Humperdink's doom. Or his own. Inigo heaved a deep sigh and began to travel on.
