This is my second attempt at an assassins creed fanfic, I discarded the first when I didn't feel like it was going anywhere. I'm really excited with this one, I can play with it more and I'm a big fan of pirates so bonus! Sorry for the long intro so happy reading everyone and enjoy. Also I don't the AC franchise only my character.
Happy New Year!
Chapter 1 – Prologue
With every clap of thunder the storm grew stronger, unrelenting in its fury on the ships below. Howling winds swirled the black ocean into large frothy waves that crashed and tossed the ships in its wake. Licking hungrily against their sides, eager to drag them down to Davey Jones.
The two danced, Brigg against Brigg. Locked in a heated battle of survival while strong winds clawed at their sails. Each sending a wave of destruction onto the other, as neither Captain wanted to lose what was most dear to him.
"I don't think we can last much longer sir!" Adewale shouted over the roar of the wind and clung desperately to the rails for support.
"Have faith Ade, she'll hold!" Edward reassured him, "I can feel it in my bones".
Fate favoured them already, striking a ships mast with lightning and set her sails aflame. Now it was no more than burning debris, her crew dead and her cargo spilled into the water.
He pursued the remaining vessel with fiery determination, ignoring the sleeting rain that bit into his skin. Chilling him to his core. She was a beauty, full of profitable cargo and he wanted nothing more than to add her to his fleet.
"Come on lads, give it all we got!" Edward encouraged his drenched crew. Their Captain was as stubborn as a mule, the lust in his heart yearning for treasure and fortune. He stood rooted to the spot while the rocking ship tipped the crew about the deck, drowning them in seawater with every wave that splashed the deck.
"Awaiting orders Capt'n".
"Man the cannons!" He gripped the wheel tight and gritted his teeth, using all his strength to turn the Jackdaw against the current. "Fire!"
The poor merchant vessel didn't stand a chance as cannon shot tore through its side with a sickening crash, sending wood splinters into the air.
"Careful not to sink her, we want this one lads".
"We nearly have her sir!"
"See Ade, nothing to it".
"Aye Kenwa-" Adewale was cut of by a deafening crack as the ship shruddered.
"We're hit!"
