Thanks for the reviews. Here is chapter 10.
Chapter 10
A Spirit's Call
This riddle was something to me. I had only figured out the first part of the clue, Padres had nothing to help me. It had nothing at all. It did have a man on it, a man who can find the treasure trove and take over the world. THe question is who, and where.
I decide that I should walk around to get my muscles warmed up for the journey to come next. I needed to be ready for the next challenge I'm going to face. I stride and walk past Ratskellar, a tavern of high stakes where many play, some win it big, and some lose it all. Nothing of my concern I told myself.
As I walk by I have the ground shaking beneath my feet, I'm startled and shocked, and turn to look at the volcano right in my face erupting with the rage and fury of which seemed like a war inside a volcano full of pirates. The magma was errupting but only a little amount. All of which emptying into lava pools and rivers that criss-cross through the caves of Padres, haunted with the evil spirits.
As I turn around I see a green fog, a green smoke radiating energy right there in front of me. It seemed like a trifle compared to me but suddenly it got larger and bigger until a man stepped out, a man with dirty clothes, a brownish hat and boots dirty as well. He looked evil, and I could feel evil radiating from his very soul. So who was this man? Then he said:
So you're the fellow who fended of Roger all by ye self. You don't look like much, you look like some dirty bilge rat who's been playing in the swamp. A man like you could never be able to fend of Roger alone.
I felt anger boiling up inside of me. The rage just buildng up. I was mad at this man, but I had no idea who this man was. Who was he?
Wondering who i am boy? You should know if you live in the Caribbean! Guess your ears are as deaf as a stump's. I am Captain Ezekiel Rott, the most deadliest pirate in the Caribbean by that fact, and i'm here, to slay you for what you did to Roger you bilge rat!
He unsheathed his cutlass which had a strange glow from it. It looked like the color of gold, solidified into a sword of mystique powers. The sword was radiating the power so strong that I almost collapsed in front of it.
This sword here ain't your regular cutlass. It ain't in fact close to the power of your cutlass. My cutlass is special. It holds power that no sword has, not even the Lost Sword of El Patron you seek. Muahaha!!
I then spoke ENOUGH WITH YOUR FOOLISH TALKING AND LET'S JUST DUEL. I unsheathed my cutlass in the blink of the eye and in less then a second I was attacking, doing a thrust directly for his heart, with the flames already burning.
Rott knew I was about to do this, he parried in a second, and retaliated cutting me down in another, all he did was slice my left hand, just a scratch but the pain was horrible. It was the sheer pain alone that made me fall to the ground. It felt like a thousand needles were going in there at the same time, then coming out again in the blink of an eye in a repetitive process.
HA! You fool you should know to never strike me. This sword causes so much pain that you would collapse if I went any deeper. You fool, you should have never messed with Roger! You'll pay the consequences if you do!
He raised his cutlass, which glimmered brightly in the sun's light into my eyes and was about to take the finishing blow. Before making contact I gathered my wits, and my strength to knock him down with a sweep of both of my legs sideways causing his head to door of Ratskellar. I heard him grunt a few times and then he proceeded to get up. Which thankfully gave me enough time to get up and turn my sword on fire.
You can only stall your judgement. Nothing will save you. Padres is as dead as the back of it is. Everybody is knocked out, from Roger and you're the only one left. Don't think that help will suddenly come. You'd be a fool to think th-
Before he could finish the last word I swung at him and came cutting across his leg, finishing it and going for a returning wave slice, but he was quick enough and jumped it, landing on the blade with his feet causing it to go in the air, do spirals and land right in his hand.
You won't win, nothing will save you now, you should have realized that when you mess with Roger, you ain't getting away, and that's final.
I took out my other sword, it was heavier as being a broadsword but was with flames, it was so bright it might have blinded a regular man, but not Rott. He wasn't a human. He just wasn't. The wound he had taken had disappeared. It was like he was an undead warrior, but maybe not might, but be.
I took another swipe with my broadsword, slow, sloppy and sluggish because of the sheer weight which really caught my attention now right at his chest, of course he just had to step out of the way and then he kicked me right into the door, it hit my back so hard and hurt so bad I collapsed to the ground, almost completely but I was still trying to recover.
He walked over, slowly and then raised the sword of flames and his golden sword, to take the final sweep.
I was hopeless, I had nothing to defend myself with. I couldn't do anything, I was dead, just dead.
Then behind him I see a light, a little white light, nothing much but enough to make itself a difference from the surroundings, I see it radiate more and then a man walks through, a pirate looking man, but he was faint, it was a spirit. He unsheathed a sword, a glistening sword of white and stabbed Rott right through his heart, or where it was supposed to be.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
He twisted the sword and then takes it out causing more screaming from Rott. But for some reason, Rott is still standing, the wound is patched up in seconds but by that time I was standing already. The spirit kicks him in the back, going towards me, I move out of the way, grab my sword back and let him crash. Then I stab him with both of my swords. He screams in utter pain. I take those out but then they patch up too.
Rott turns around and speaks this:
Gah, spirits coming from the dead. What is this? You shouldn't be alive you spirit, you shouldn't have came, I'll make sure next time that Roger enlists you into his army. You'd be a great man for him to be controlled for the rest of eternity. But this time you won't escape his clutches. Muahaha!!!
Green smoke starts to emit from his body, gather and then he is surrounded by it. Then visibility is impossible with him. I see nothing, nothing at all. Then the smoke disappears, along with Rott, just like Roger did.
I turn around and see the spirit. I asked who he was and he said:
I'm a mere spirit, my name is Raaem. I was slayed by Navy Veteran during a raid, right in the back and then before I died Jolly was in front of me. He promised me revenge on the Navy, if I joined his army. I accepted but only was returned grief and sorrow. I ran away, but doing so made me a spirit, I only have this sword now to protect me. Nothing else. I see you defeated Jolly, or only holded him back from this island.
I told him, then realized he might be able to solve that riddle I had. I asked him if he could help me with this riddle and he agreed.
Hmm, a man who flies away. I think I know who. A man who flies away is a man never able to caught, who is almost caught, but escapes in the last seconds of either demise or redemption. The man is tricky though, don't think you'd be able to just get the info out of him. Go to Tortuga, and have this sword, this sword might be able to do this for you. It's a Seven Seas Cutlass, legendary and powerful, you may be able to stop Roger and anybody else with the weapon you're looking for. Good luck, but don't think we wont see each other again, I'll meet you again soon enough, whether you're dead in Jolly's Army or you're alive.
He started to fade away, with a grin, evil grin by what it looked like but I still didn't have a man! I shouted out to him, " Wait who is it! "
Jack Sparrow...
And he disappeared leaving me alone, in the day, in a silent Padres Del Fuego.
