Deadly Shadows
Salazar was eventually freed,years after being trapped in the triangle from a betrayal of the compass. He and his crew were relieved to be free and see the sun again. Now they had a pirate and Norse captain to find. However, they would have to wait until nightfall to find her. However, several pirate ships and used his ghost ship, Silent Mary, to take a hard bite out of them, literally.
However when the sun was almost down, something appeared in the water.
"Ship on starboard!" one of the Spanish men called out
They looked out and saw it was a black Norse ship, the Ebony Night. It appeared right in front of them as if it too was a ghost ship, which it was.
"Get close, there's a Norse captain I must associate with." Salazar spoke up, knowing that was the ship of Mary Diress
The Silent Mary side rammed into the Ebony Night, getting the attention of everyone, especially when the Spanish started jumping on board. Diress heard that from her quarters and came out immediately.
"What is going on out here!" she called out
Salazar laughed and walked to her "Lady Diress, am I correct?"
Most would be afraid of him and his undead appearance, but Diress wasn't afraid at all and stood her ground.
"That I am, you know of me, I see." Diress responded "Then you also must know that no one boards my ship without my say."
"Well, how else, was I supposed to get your attention, my lady?" Salazar asked "If you must know, I've been looking for you for years."
"Yeah, who isn't, so they can turn me in and get money, I know. They can't catch me since I'm a shadow spirit now, cursed to only appear in darkness." Diress replied
"Oh no, that's not why I was looking for you, Diress, I have other reasons why I was looking for you." Salazar told her, taking her hand
Diress blushed slightly, but quickly snapped out of it "Then why were you looking for the most feared Norse captain on the seas?"
Salazar pulled her closer, surprisingly strongly despite him now having weak legs.
"Why not come with me to find out why." he told her
"Well, it better be quick before I vanish with the sunlight again." Diress reminded him
"Lets work together, unite our crews." Salazar told her
Diress thought about it for a minute. She never had anyone join with her willingly and she hoped this would bring more destruction to her enemies and anyone in her way . She could also see why he wanted to join with her now. She could feel that he was in love with her and she was willing to give him a chance.
"Very well, I just hope you can bring death to anyone you come across." she replied "My crew and I kill with no mercy, leaving no one alive. I make sure I become someone's worst nightmare."
"Oh I can do just that, Lady Diress, and much more." Salazar told her
"Good…" Diress responded, then trailed off before speaking again "Mary….my name is Mary."
"Alright, Mary, there is actually a pirate I am after, if you're willing to help out." Salazar brought up
"If it involves showing them the way to their grave, then count me in." Diress replied, smiling slightly
The two then set back off on their ships and crews with them, becoming even more dangerous than they were before. However, Diress and her ship once again vanished at sunrise, but little did they know, the Ebony Night was still there, but was unable to be seen nor good it do anything. When night came again though, it returned just the same and the search would continue on.
To be continued….
