The Knight & The Genie
Chapter 6: Risky's Treasure
Risky and her arm of Tinkerbats boarded Polar Knight's ship. The crew setting the sails and taking positions to be ready for anything. The three in question sat in the captain's cabin discussing what to do next. Polar Knight wanted very much to wring Shantae by her neck. Risky brandishing her cutlass and mentioned how much she wanted to 'cut her to size.' All the while, Black Knight stood by the window. Looking out at the village as he thought. How could he beat his former ally? Someone he once considered a friend. Their falling out was all due to The Enchantress. His very will to continue was, by all expected, gone. He wasn't over her and it was consuming him. Reaching inside his armor he pulled out a map. Tossing it to Risky. "What's this?"
"A map to treasure. You are a pirate, yes?" Black Knight asked.
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Then why worry about the genie right now. This is the ultimate treasure you should worry about."
That caught Risky's attention. Her eyes filled with lust for treasure and she drooled over the potential riches. "Where is it!?"
"It's not in a where. It's with a whom." Black Knight replied. It didn't take Polar Knight too long to realize what his friend was planning. He picked up the knight and stepped out of the room as Risky drooled over the map.
"That medallion was destroyed." The viking stated.
"Not at all. I found the pieces and brought them back together." The medallion had the ability to reform once broken? It was more power than one thought. And in the hands of Black Knight? Polar Knight wasn't sure what to do about it. He glanced back to Risky. Realizing his true intentions. "You mean-"
"She may not know it, but Miss. Boots is a simple pawn in my grand plan." Black Knight revealed. "I plan to bring back The Enchantress." The two glanced back to Risky. The girl hugging the map like it was her baby. "And she's the perfect vessel."
"I will have no part of it."
"What!?"
"Off my ship!"
The crew was swiftly kicked back to Risky's ship. Everyone, except Black Knight, were confused. The viking was preparing to set sail once more before taking his ally by the shoulder. "Black Knight.. Please. Don't do this."
"Be off with you! If you don't want part in my vision-"
"Your vision is flawed. She is gone and you plan to rip someone else of life the way Shield Knight was ripped of life. Please my friend.. Seek some help." Polar pleaded with his friend. He knew that if Black Knight went down this path it would only lead to the darkness that once shadowed over Pridemoor once before.
Black Knight scoffed it off as Polar Knight took off. His ship setting sail as the crew reboarded Risky's ship. Black Knight knew he was going to sacrifice Risky in order to bring back The Enchantress, but he didn't care. He wanted her back. Risky looking at the map with hungry eyes. Drooling at the treasure she was about to own. "Sail off till you see a submarine. A good friend of mine has a specific treasure you will come to desire." Risky nodded and set sail.
The darkest days were yet to come.
Polar Knight looked over the sea as he sailed. Seeing Risky's ship set off towards the medallion. He knew he couldn't let the blinded knight go on with his idea and turned his ship towards the direction of the Lich Yard. If someone could scare Black Knight then it was none other than Specter Knight. The knight glanced up to see a magnificent bird overhead and looked down towards the ocean. "I'll save you, mate. If it's with my final breath."
