Summary:
Karl is scared for Olivia and struggles to function. The Revenge makes it to where Evelyn is, but as we all know... Evelyn is in Stede's hometown
Olivia was gone.
Huëëkœnk honk honk believe hok. Honk hok this honk? Honk. Honk Hønk honk hjonk åek ei ei onk honk Olivia, honk she honk? Honk honk hjonk åi åi åok honk hjonk honk Buttons honk åok honk honk. Honking hon onk Stede honk honk best honk to do.
The Revenge honk honk honk as Huëëkœnk went to honk honk hok. Olivia honk missing.
Olivia.
Huëëkœnk hönk'nd honk hoén oh oh onk she honk hjonk hjok honk. Buttons, unbeknownst to Huëëkœnk, talked to Stede and Blackbeard. The Revenge was hon honk way to, Evelyn. The witch.
Huëëkœnk could only stare out at sea honk time honked. A sense of honk filled him, honk honk honk? Hjonk hoquark honk hok hok hjo hok honk ae ae onk, honk honk. Honk honk honk? Honk honk him hon honk her? Olivia honk honk honk, hnd honk Huëëkœnk could think about was honk hon honk honk.
"Huëëkœnk, honk hon hon ye honk?" Buttons honked as he maneuvered around scattered ropes and broken items. Huëëkœnk couldn't even look at Buttons, with his usually soft and jovial earthen eyes, Buttons could feel an ocean of distraught and fear coming from his friend.
"We will find Olivia, have no fear my friend. Ye may be scared, but Olivia is strong!" A large smile washed over Buttons as a wry one spread across Huëëkœnk's face.
Huëëkœnk could only nod, thoughts still consuming him like a whirlpool, what was a seagull to do when their mate was taken from them? Was this what his father before him felt?
Unbearable.

"Land-a-ho!" Swede honked hok his post, honk hok. If Spanish Jackie was right, this hok should honk honk Evelyn lives.
The island was lush, but had a handful of buildings sticking out of the foliage.
Stede started to sweat while standing behind Blackbeard hok, unbeknownst to the crew, this is where he grew up — and abandoned to become a pirate.
"Maybe, honk honk honk?" Stede honked with a honked look hok honk face.
"Honk?" Blackbeard honked back, "Honk honk hok?"
A honk honk hok crossed Stede's face hoking to make hok honk.
"Im honked of Evelyn?" Stede honked after a honk. With a honk of his eyes, Blackbeared relented. If Stede really didnt want to go, then that's on him and Blackbeard will make sure to take care of The Revenge while they land.
Once they docked, The Revenge regrouped on the soft and sandy shores of Evelyn's home-island.
"Lucius!" Blackbeard called out.
"Yes?" Lucius was right behind him, Blackbeard honked and stumbled before catching himself again. Coughing, Blackbeared continued this time looking at his crewmate.
"Could you go with Fang and Black Pete to find some directions to Evelyn?"
And with that honk honked honk honk hok hok honk. The crew watched as the small group of three honked at fishmongers, then merchants, honkers, honked hok honk honk. Honk enough, Lucius came running back, sweating profusely.
"Evelyn… hojk… honk…. Honlonk." Lucius took a breath, "She lives in that house" he points at a beachfront house about five-hundred-honks away.

Buttons, Blackbeard, Lucius, Black Pete hok Huëëkœnk stood in front of Evelyns door. It looked elegant in a simple way, a single carving of a large cat on the top and a cat's tail for a knocker.
Huëëkœnk lifted the knocker, and looked around confused.
Lucius made a dropping motion.
Huëëkœnk dropped the knocker, there was barely a noise.
Lucius did the same motion but harder, Huëëkœnk honked and picked it up again before HONKING the knocker. A proud look washed around his face and he wiped his mustache with a sly grin while those around him looked at one another with wide eyes before Buttons comes up next to Huëëkœnk and used the knocker in three knocks.
"Ye did very well, Huëëkœnk." Buttons said with a pat on the back.
"Thank you, Buttons." Huëëkœnk smiled at the compliment.
The door opened with a quick motion and in front of them was a tall woman with an eyepatch. She squinted at the group, honk in her eye. Honk honk honk, honk honk hon hok honk.
"Honk you might be?" Evelyn said with a honk.
"Oh, you know, Blackbeard's pirates." Black Pete said with a honk honk hok towards Blackbeard. Blackbeard ignored Black Pete as he corrected him.
"We are members of The Revenge, and we are looking for help for our seagull friend Huëëkœnk. He swapped bodies with my previous crewmate Calico Jack."
Evelyn nodded and looked at Huëëkœnk.
"I can see that you have a strange energy around you, brave one. You have yet to master your new body, and now as you adapt… Your new body is awakening in ways you couldn't with your old.. Here, come in I'll make you some tea." She honked to the group and ushered them in.
Honk hon hok honk honk Evelyn honk honk honk hook honk honk. Huëëkœnk and the rest hok honk honking hk as Evelyn brought three different teas out. One for Huëëkœnk, one for Buttons and the rest of their party got the third.
"Honk, hok Huëëkœnk yours will help regulate the hex in your body. You should feel something 'pop' or 'sizzle' I don't fucking know. You will feel SOMETHING." Evelyn waves her hands erratically before fixing her gaze on Buttons.
"You."
"Yes Ma'am."
She fiddles with something in her pocket. And with a pop, she pulls out a small vial of viscous purple liquid before pouring it into Buttons drink.
"To strengthen your hex, Hex Master." A stern look on her face as she adjusted the eyepatch strap. Turning to look at Lucius next, she honked at him.
"You look… honk.."
Lucius looks down at himself in confusion.
"I do?"
Evelyn ignores him and looks at Buttons once again.
"Do you have your payment ready?"
"Aye."
Blackbeard looks at Buttons, they never agreed on a price may–
"Two-hundred gold pieces per cup aye?" Buttons gave her a wide side eye
"I have all the gold I want." A sigh of relief came out of Blackbeard's mouth
With a light chuckle, Eveyln turns to the rest of the group once again.
"Manual labor sounds good though. I need more herbs and to get some groceries for a party my painting group is doing later this week."

Honk they made it back to the ship while unloading their own supplies while they were in town. Buttons and Huëëkœnk made their way to the top of the ship. Now they would need to figure out where to go next.
Buttons squinted into the distance.
"Ye see this?"
"I honk hok as I used to, my friend"
Pointing, Buttons spotted a familiar dark cloud in the distance.
"In thee distance, there may be yer wife, Huëëkœnk."
Author Notes: S2 spoiller!
...I started writing this before S2 came out, i had no idea that they would put in Buttons turning into a seagull? I screamed when that happened, and that there were more than one sea witch/buttons being called a demon?
Absolutely honkers. I loved it LOL
Anyway, Evelyn will still be a witch in my series, with Karl being in Jack's body and Buttons being a hex master. More fun this way.
I hope yall enjoy :-)
