Sebas Deadeye
Tunnels to the Pockets
Tunnels to the Pockets
Sebas was in a precarious position. This mage was doomed. Throughout the time they’ve been speaking, the mage has been absolutely flooding the waters with his blood due to Sebas impaling him. On one hand, he could save a little girl from a tyrannical king. On the other hand, she would become his daughter in a life of a pirate, which wasn’t freaking easy in itself. While the Basenjis were a more high-end pirate crew and there was no chance she would be victim of a horny drunk (due to the angel on their ship mercilessly killing those who commit sex crime and incinerating their souls in holy fire), it was STILL the life of a pirate. Danger of seasickness, danger of getting sunk, danger of enemy pirates. If she got captured, her protection against becoming a child slave wasn’t guaranteed anymore. The fact that she was a fishfolk was another thing. The fact that she was to be adopted by the one who killed her father was yet another thing.
The good thing is that the Angel wouldn’t allow Adonis to force her to serve under him. The bad thing is that this child’s innocence would be destroyed. The flip side is that the child’s innocence was probably non-existent as it is. This was the ocean. How many of her people if not her own siblings has she seen slaughtered? How many fish has she seen torn apart by sea predators? How many fishfolk have she seen vored by a whale or gutted by rival fishfolk?
“Looks like you’re not survivin’ this,” Sebas said, “Look, I feel for you, dying from risking your life under the threat of death for refusing.” Sebas and Ferg weren’t in a much better position if he was honest. “I don’t know if giving me an additional burden we have to escort out of here is worth the risk though.”
“Look, I want her out of here. If you take her, I will use my last magic to get you to your shark carrier.” Now it seemed like a deal. Not only would it secure them getting the chest out of here by getting to the Sub, but they wouldn’t have yet another moving part to account for in dealing with threats.
Silence for about 10 seconds while Seb pondered. He didn’t want to leave a child to death under the tyrant. He also didn’t want to carry this chest out the long way, considering they had to let go for this ambush
“She knows nothing about any of this. I’m willing to lie and pawn this off on the viperfish if you promise to our Goddess Mariana to protect her to adulthood.”
