The sea hissed like an angry viper as the hull of The Bloody Cutlass sliced through the never ending blue expanse. Captain VaLex was leaning over the stern, perched precariously on the carved wooden mermaid that was eternally guarding the ship. Her gloved hand was wrapped tightly into the mooring line, holding the captain in place.
Her piercing eyes scanned across the open blue sea as the dawn broke over the horizon to her east. The sun shot golden rays through the clouds drifting in the sky and created an eerie morning glaze over everything in its way. VaLex cautiously turned her head to the South and scanned the horizon once more, searching for the nightmarish blue sails of the Imperial Fleet.
Without seeing a sign of the fleet anywhere she leapt easily from her perch and landed without a sound on the deck near the helm, her quartermaster whispering slight changes in direction to the scruffy man at the helm. They were headed away from port, after raiding it the night before, it's never a good idea to stick around. As the salty sea air whipped violently through the blood red sails above her, Captain VaLex shouted, "All hands on deck!" and waited silently, listening for the bumps and crashes from below deck that always signified the awakening of her crew.
