The boom of a cannon and splintering of the wood woke up Captain Gellert. He was on the floor, with a cannonball about to roll into his face. He glanced at the hole and saw thick fog in new window. He cursed and dressed as quickly as he could. It didn't matter who was on his ship-he would make sure they lived long enough to regret it.
It was true in part at least, Gellert thought, as he was tied to the mast of the ship. They lived at least but there was no regret in their eyes as his men lay dead or dying. He yelled that he would give himself up peacefully if they at least tried to give his men medical attention and with a nod all of this injured men were taken one by one onto the navy boat before he joined them.
The days passed quickly and lasted an eternity each. In the morning he baked, was spoon fed by navy dog each meal, and then each night locked into a toilet for five minutes. At least three rifles pointed at him and ten escorts ready to grab their blade. He supposed he should be grateful about being taken alive.
One morning he blinked as the men on the deck were ready to port. He… was probably going to die. Years ago he thought himself ready to but that time passed. He was determined to fight until the last moment until he saw an auburn haired man come aboard. Albus had grown into his new station and looked as handsome as ever. He grew angry as his ex-lover just gave him a cursory glance then nodded before leaving the ship.
It was then that he heard the news- it wasn't his destiny to sway in the wind hung, or beheaded and facing the ocean as a fort decoration but Mirage island. He would be escorted by Albus and three of his men with a spare boat. He hung his head, smiling bitterly, as he was dragged along the boat that his ex-lover led.
They reached Mirage island and as Albus untied him they shared a hug and kiss as if they hadn't spent twelve years hunting or avoiding capture. Gellert could have killed him but he remembered the nights talking about escaping here and as they parted Albus promised to join him when his time came. It was a promise.
Gellert stepped onto the island. This island was cursed and he died the moment he stepped on the sand. Time stood still and he joined the island inhabitants in wandering,fighting, and feasting. Gellert immediately forgot about the twelve years as he became the young man he used to be and when an old man came on in an admiral outfit he wanted a fight. The old man died and in his place- a young man with auburn hair appeared. He stared then they kissed reunited for all eternity.
