Calypso's Rage ~ 5

Calypso's Rage

Five

    I glared at Kane, "Are you trying to say something"
    Annice rubbed her temples, "Let it go Cass and Kane don't pick fights."
    "Are you going to tell us why you gathered us?" Estella asked
    Annice nodded, "Yes, It seems that there is a new threat on the seas."
    I raised an eyebrow, "Like the Navy has hired a new pirate hunter."
    "No, Something has been sinking Navy ships. From what I've seen it, the ships are totally demolished, leaving only bits of wood washed up on shores. So far they haven't found any survivors."
    "If nothing was left how did they find out the ships had been attacked?" Kane asked
    "Well they loose contact with the ships, sometimes hearing the sounds of battle sometimes not. They find rubble one shores that would have come from the same place where they lost contact with the ship. Some of the rubble has distinguishing features so they know exactly which ship it use to be."
    Kane thought about that and Annice continued.
    "The Navy thinks it pirates, so be careful they will be watching closely."
    "But you don't think a pirate did this." Estella stated
    "No, a pirate couldn't have caused this. I don't necessarily think that whatever attacked the ships will stop at just Navy ships."
    "So watch out for the Navy and for something mysterious that is attacking the Navy ships." I summarized
    Annice nodded and Sawyer asked, "Any idea what this mysterious thing could be, or any descriptions?"
    "No, but it blows these ships to bits in the amount of time it takes for another ship in the nearby area to come help them."
    "That's quick." I muttered calculating
    "So if it finds us we probably won't get away." Kane said
    Annice shrugged, "Maybe, I can't calculate that for you. But if you do end up engaging it in battle try to survive so you can tell me what it was."
    I rolled my eyes and Kane chuckled, "Cunning as ever."
    Annice bowed "I look out for the welfare of my city."
    I smiled, "Why are you surprised, Kane? I thought we agreed she was just like a pirate captain only with a city instead of a ship."
    Kane nodded "Aye, that we did, but sometimes its still surprising."
    Annice had a slight smile on her face as she said, "Now that is all I have to say. As always, you are welcome to stay in my city as long as you don't cause to much of a disturbance, and if you need anything from me you must make an appointment."
    And with that we were escorted out of the house by the man that brought us in before.

    Kane started walking towards the huge house on the hill and I followed him.

    "Any idea what the summon is for?" I asked as we weaved our way through a group of people.

    He shook his head "No, but I can tell you that it's probably nothing good."

    I nodded "Then we will just have to make the best of the coming storm."

    He laughed as we reached the doors of the huge house "Aye."

    Before we could knock a man opened the door and peered down his nose at us. He was dressed nicely but there was only disdain in his eyes "The Lady has been expecting you."

    He stepped back and let us in. "Follow me and don't touch anything."

    "Worried that We'll steal something?" I asked and Kane laughed

    "No" He replied, unamused "Anything touched my you would destroy it's value and it would take me a long time to replace it."

    Kane glared at the man but I just shook my head. He lead us to a door on the upper floor and knocked.

    "Come in." A woman's voice called out

    He opened the door and after shooing us in, shut it. Sitting at a desk was a beautiful woman dresses like a high class woman, Lady Annice, the window behind her let in the sunlight from the outside making the room seems warm and inviting. In the window was another women dressed in pants and a corset top Captain Estella, just as deadly as a male captain but much less forgiving.

    "Well, look what the tide brought." A young man on a couch said.

    He had an arrogant air about him and a cocky face. Kane sighed and went to stand next to Estella.

    "And who would you be." I asked folding my arms

    "Captain Sawyer, youngest pirate captain on the seas."

    "Dumbest one too." I said raising an eyebrow

    "And who are you to say that?" He asked

    Before he could say anything else I was behind him with a sword to his throat "Your arrogance lowers your reaction time, you might want to be careful not many people faced with my sword have a second chance at life."

    He gulped and Kane laughed "Come now Cass, at least give him a chance to learn."

    I sheathed my sword and turned to Kane with a smile on my face "I was just toying with him."

    Estella snorted "When you toy with people there's a chance they won't survive."

    I shrugged "All a part of the pirate life."

    I felt Annice's heated look and turned my attention to her. "Something wrong, Lady Annice?"

    "I told Jack to not let you wear the boy outfit."

    "But I'm not wearing wearing a boy outfit, I'm wearing my captain one."

    She glared at me and Kane laughed "Come now Annice, what else do you expect of Captain Caspian, devil of the sea."

    Sawyer looked at me shocked but everyone ignored him.

    She sighed "I didn't want to see Caspian, I wanted to see Cassidy."

    "Cassidy?" Sawyer asked

    Annice sighed "I forget that new people don't know. Everyone this is Sawyer a new captain with potential. Sawyer, you know Kane and already met Estella. This is Captain Caspian, the bargaining demon."

    Kane jumped in "Caspian is actually a girl named Cassidy, but good luck trying to get a glimpse of the female side."

Sorry this is late I was traveling and I couldn't publish before I left because I still needed the name of Annice's town.

    Jack guided the ship with an expert hand avoiding the sunken buildings that were beneath us. he took us to a small island that looked deserted from a distance but when we enter the bay, its easy to see that it is not deserted at all.

    Little shacks made out of various materials are scattered around the island, the one thing that was similar about them was that they were ready to be removed at a moments notice. The only building on the island that wasn't like that was the one that had been build long before we found the island. It had the best view of the bay and was where I lived when we weren't on the ship.

    The crew cheered when we docked, and set to work unloading the cargo and checking over the Calypso's Rage to see if anything needed to be repaired or replaced.

    Once Jack had let go of the wheel I asked "Anything of note since I've been away."

    "Captain Garrison sent a message saying he wanted to talk, we sent one back saying that you were currently busy." He replied as we walked down the deck

    I sighed "I dislike dealing with Garrison. We'll see how long his patience lasts."

    Jack's mouth twitched in amusement but he continued with business "Lady Annice said she is expecting a visit from you and said to "not be wearing that foolish boy outfit" she was quite serious."

    "Fine, I won't show up in a boy outfit, I'll wear my captain one."

    He rolled his eyes "She's not going to like that."

    "To bad, I'm a captain so I'll be dressed as one."
    We got off the ship and walked down the dock. "We got a good haul for that merchant the crew will be glad to go into town." Jack mentioned
    I nodded "Then we can go tomorrow, I suspect that I am not the only one that she summoned."
    "While you're talking to her I will sell the goods we don't need and pass out the shares."
    "I suspect that the others will want to talk so we will probably be staying the night."
    He stops in the road "I'll tell the lads, you go sleep. You're going to need it if you deal with the other captains tomorrow."
    I rolled my eyes and walked up to my house.

    The next morning, I dressed in my normal captain attire. When Jack came to get me he just chuckled and shook his head. We set off no to long after that the ride was uneventful, until the crew realized we were headed to Vale, a town run by Annice, and a safe place for pirates to relax. We docked and I jumped off the ship and I left Jack to deal with the crew. As I was walking towards Annice's house, I spotted a pirate waiting for me.
    He was decked out in red and black, by the way he carried himself it was easy to see that he was an experienced pirate. "I thought that I saw Calypso's Rage coming in and it looks like I was right. Nice to see you again, Caspian."
    I put on the devilish smile people expected of Caspian and said "I'm assuming you were summoned too, Kane."
    He laughed and nodded. "Aye lad, I just arrived myself. We can greet the Lady together."

Cass' Look

So here is the picture I drew when I was trying picture what Cass looked like. This was also the drawing that led me to see that she had a boy persona. In this she is dressed in her pirate captain outfit, she carries who swords at her waist and two pistols on her chest (which are not in the picture).

Calypso's Rage ~ 2

This was meant to be one post but it got to long so I spit it into two, so second post surprise! I drew a picture of her outfit which I will post later in the week, since I will plan to be occupied all weekend.

     I watched as sailors moved about getting the ship ready for departure. I had removed my makeup and changed dresses to that of a light weight one, perfect for traveling.A suitcase was at my feet carrying the other dress. The merchant I talked to earlier was talking with the another crew member. Once everything was in order and we moved away from port he came over to me.

    "It is a beautiful night despite the fog" I said motioning to the water

    "Yes, It will get quite cold out tonight and you are welcome to my quarters if you need it."

    I nodded and he walked off. The crew was slightly on edge but the more we sailed the more they relaxed. After a while the tension was almost completely gone and they were acting normally. That was when I started singing.

"Now are we ready to head for the Horn,

Way, ay roll an' go.

Our boots an' our clothes boys are all in the pawn,

Timmie rollickin' randy dandy O.

Heave a pawl, oh, heave away,

Way, ay, roll an' go.

The anchor's on board an' the cable's all stored,

Timme rollickin' randy dandy O.

 Come breast the bars, bullies, an' heave her away,

Way, ay roll an' go.

Soon we'll be rollin' her 'way down the Bay,

Timmie rollickin' randy dandy O."

    Out of the fog came a ship. It was silent and no one noticed it until it was to late. Sailors called out warnings as grappling hooks came from the other ship and latched on to the this one. Once the ships were securely attached to each other, pirates jumped across. They quickly disarmed and gathered up the sailors.
    The merchant came up from the hold and barked "What is going on here."
    A big man with natural tan skin walked up to him. "Exactly what it looks like. Your being raided."
    The merchant just stared at him and another pirate came up to me.
    "Take what's needed but not everything." I whispered, "There's no need for anything else."
    The pirate did a slight bow and lifted his chin to the right.
    The big man glanced at the pirate next to me then said "We'll take what we need then leave. All you have to do is sit quietly and nothing will happen."
    The merchant grimaced but said nothing. The big man waved other pirates forward and soon there was everything that was needed was taken from the hold. While the merchant was busy totaling how many wares the pirates were taking the pirate next to me escorted me, and my luggage, to the other ship. When I was safely on board he left with a bow and helped the others carry the cargo into the hold.
    Once everything was safely on the pirate ship, the pirates released the hooks and came back to their ship. The big man was the last one back and as we sailed away from the recently raided ship he came to my side.
    "Are you alright?" He asked
    I rolled my eyes "I'm fine, Jack"
    But he still looked me over, checking for himself. "I never know why I agree to these silly plots."
    "I only do them when we are in dire need, so you have no choice but to agree." I sighed "Are you quite done? I want to change out of these clothes."
    He smiled slightly and nodded. I walked into my captain's quarters and changed in to my preferred clothes. I stuck my swords in there sheaths and I walked outside. As soon as my feet hit the deck, the crew cheered.
    "Ready to go home lads." I shouted
    They cheered again and I walked up next to Jack. I breathed in the sea air and sighed, "Take us home Jack."
    "Welcome back, Captain Caspian."

Today is the day we start our next story! I literally couldn't think of anything else so the story will be the name of the ship. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment about anything.

Calypso's Rage
One

    I surveyed the crowd, men and women dressed in fancy outfits talked politely. My own dress fit in with all the others but it felt containing and I wondered how women could stand these things day after day. The electric lights glared down on me making me even more uncomfortable, I had half a mind to jump out the nearest window into the darkness of the night but I had to a job to do.

    I looked around again and spotted a man looking at me. I smiled nicely and he walked over to me.

    "Good evening, sir" I said he was well dressed but not extremely so

    "I suppose it would be if I didn't have to be here." He commented and I raised an eyebrow in surprise. He chuckled, "I couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable you looked. Was I wrong in thinking that you were of the same mind as me."

    "Not at all, I was just contemplating tossing myself out the nearest window when you approached."

    He laughed, "Then would you like to join me out on the balcony, Ms......."

    "Cassidy," I said, "And I would love to."

    "Well then Ms. Cassidy." He offered me his hand and I took it lightly

    He lead me away from the dreaded lights and into the cool night air.

    Once outside I asked "What are you doing here, sir, if you don't like parties."

    "I was invited by a friend of mine and I needed to talk to him about the sea predictions for the next couple of days."

    "Oh you're a merchant?"

    "Yes, I need to take some cargo to one of the bigger island, and it seems like tonight is the best night."

    Bingo. I smiled, "Would you mind if I come, I was here trying to find a ride and it seems that your leaving the sooner then my scheduled ride."

    "Where are you planning to go?"

    "Home. I've been traveling for a while now and its about time I went back."

    "There's a fog about tonight so the pirates should have a hard time finding us." He muttered to him self before turning to me and saying "If you don't mind the company of sailors then I would be happy to take you."

    "Its a deal then." I said
