Iris' POV
It's been a year since I woke up on the rock. The power I felt coursing through me was quite confusing, but when the pirates of that ship 'rescued' me, I knew what I could do, how powerful I was. After I killed the crew and burned their ship, I immediately set out to assemble a crew of my own. They were mostly men, as they were easy to win over. One of them tried to take advantage of me, and so I set an example to the rest of the crew by killing him.
Now, my crew both feared and adored me, as I was kind to them so long as they followed me, and if they were lucky, they would get my affections for a night. This rarely happened with my crew members, as then they would get attached and expect a relationship, which I was not willing to offer.
My crew and I sailed the seas, conquering many other crews. I only chose the best crew, and soon I finally conquered a fearsome ship, which I named "The Siren's Song".
After just six months of this, people started hearing and speaking of me. I was one of the only female pirates, and I was both feared and adored in Albion. People knew of my alluring aura, but also knew not to cross me. Now, I was known as The Pirate Queen.
It was late fall, and my crew and I were preparing to dock at a port, as signs have shown that the coming winter was to be harsh. Unfortunately, Bowerstone was no longer allowing pirates to dock at their ports, closing it to exclusively cargo ships. We needed another port.
"Captain!" I heard William, a member of my crew, call as he ran over.
"What is it?" I asked, concerned."Word is spreading of a town that just opened their port to pirates!" He exclaimed.
"This is fantastic news! We must set course at once! What town?" I said, glad that somewhere is open.
"Bloodstone, Captain Blackwood. It's run by cutthroats and pirates."
"Excellent. We leave at once." I said. A town of pirates? Sounds like the perfect place for the Pirate Queen..
So so sorry for the short chapter. I promise the next one will be longer!
