The beginning
"You can't summon a scooner with a lantern old man. You're just crazy," the kid scolded.
Captain Tory scowled at him. The kid has dark hair and dark features to match. His eyes were pools of black, his hair casting a shadow over his face.
Captain Tory started to wave the lantern in the air, a whistling was the result. The kid watch, ducking when the lantern came too close to his face, waiting for the light to go out. It never did though, not even a flicker. The captain waved it three times, but it seemed like much more.
"Hey! Watch it! You almost hit me there, ya old man!" Did this kid have an ounce of respect? The captain watched the fury disappear from the kids face as the horn of a scooner pierced the fog that had set in. It sent chill through the air that not even snow fall could bring.
The kid moved his gaze back and forth from the scooner gliding towards the dock and the old captain. Horror now set over his face as Captain Tory smiled his almost toothless grin.
As the scooner glided in it got bigger and bigger. The old lettering, that once was red, now bearly visible, read the Scarlet Rose. Her mast was covered in barnicals, the once ivory white sails were torn and ragged.
"What....what is that?" The boy was shaking is bad that the captain could see it from 5 feet away.
"That would be my ship." His eyes held a new brightness. His smile could light a room now. This was truly a rare sight.
A call came from the ship, "A-hoy Captain! Good to see you! Ye coming aborad?" The man that had called wasn't really a man at all. Not anymore at least. He was a skeleton wearing a old torn and tattered pirate uniform.
"Of corse Sceebs," the Captain turned to the boy, "See ya later kid," and he dissapered along with the ship.
That had happened 9 years ago.
