The Final Chapter
Trickery
It be tis morning, the skies shine blue, the townsfolk already at work with their daily life, you could hear the chickens, and the fine early morning breeze along with it. As I stride over to the docks, where I am supposed to be, I see a mysterious man in black, a shady fellow who seems to have no business here, and if he did, it wouldn't be a good piece of business.
As I see the man walk quickly towards the Tortuga Swamps, I see him take out a cloaked dagger, a shiny dagger, that had a dark aura resonating from the whole entire dagger.
He walks over and throws it right at a gator, stabbing it right at it's neck and causing instantaneous death. The gator then turned not into a soul, but into a darkness creature, the darkness surrounded it, and then made it grow until it was a gator of pure shadows.
As I hide behind an abandoned house, and watch this abomination, I quickly duck when the EITC Soldier, glances directly at me, he had heard something, but he didn't know what.
He quickly shrugged off his thought of walking over where I was, and then headed over to the rest of the houses, through a clear of the trees he walks by and then throws a dagger at each and everyone of the gators, each piercing right through the thick, and durable hide and turning the simple gator that Roger controlled, into a host of darkness. Then he throws a dagger right in the center of a lump of land, and I see a wave of darkness resonate from it, and then released, he then mumbles a few words, and walks to the house.
When he walks to the two houses near each other, both abandoned in what seems like decades, or centuries he then grabs a clear bottle, full of a dark liquid. It had a horrible smell, even from where I was I could smell the horrible, funky smell of this liquid. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.
He walks back to the dagger, and pours it around it, causing a dark aura to surround it.
The fog was incredibly thick, and impossible to see through. It quickly surrounded the cloaked man, and also the dagger. The gators watched this spectacle as the event occured, staring their dark eyes right into the center of the fog, while I could feel the energy radiating off of the fog, the darkness was strong here, and what was here, I didn't know, but it was NOT, a good sign.
And then, when the fog grew to it's thickest point, it started to fade away to the air, and then I can see the cloaked man, and then a man I recognized, it was....
Jolly Roger.
I then murmured in a quiet voice,
Jolly Roger, here? What is he doing here, and why did the cloaked man not die from his need of power? What in the Caribbean is going on here?!
As I continue to watch the ceremony as it looked like, I see the fog disappear completely, and the cloaked man stepped back, and gave his respects to Jolly Roger.
I then heard Roger speak. He spoke these words.
Javier.... there you are. I was thinking the Pirates have slayed you. Is there word of the new daggers?
The mysterious man replied:
Yes Jolly Roger, the Abu Nar Clan Daggers have been found and are in a shipment to East India Trading Company now, we are expecting this shipment at Tortuga in a few days, I am expecting your undead shall invade when the shipment comes?
Yes yes.... I shall be there to steal the shipment, while the pirates are busy, I shall invade the transport ships and steal the loot, and make sure that the pirates don't gain what should be mine! The Caribbean shall be mine, and I shall find Sparrow! I am seeing that you shall send these gators to destroy the pirates who dare resist? And I exect your soldiers to not protect the pirates as well.
Yes yes, the gators shall attack right before you strike, these gators have hide 10x stronger than the regular gators, and cause a nasty bite. I shall be at your services Roger, I just came to inform you if what the plan is. Also I came to tell you they are sending them in two shipments. The shipmens will arrive, tomorrow, at 3, and after tomorrow at 6. I am hoping you shall be there for both shipments.
I will. I must make haste away from Tortuga. Before one of those scallywag gypsies have scent of my being. I trust ye shall keep everything in order. Oh and yes, one more thing Javier.
Yes?
Kill the spy.
When I heard those three words, my heartbeat skipped, and then I turn and started to run. But when I took my first step shackles erupted right from the ground and grabbed hold of me, entailing me to the shackles, and making me utterly useless.
Let the gators kill him. To make sure they know what human blood tastes like...
hehehe....
Yes Roger...
Roger then disappeared magically, as if he was never there, no trace, no dagger left in the ground, but of course the gators were left. With the gators left, they then all of a sudden broke the trance of watching the event occur, and then attacked without warning all at me.
Luckily I could move my hand just enough to get my new sword, and it cut the shackles and destroyed each one, causing me to be able to defend myself. As the first gator comes to strike, I jump and land right onto the gators back, smashing my boots as far as they could go right into it's hide.
Nothing.
I take my sword up and try to stab right in between the two armor platings on it, and when it stabbed right through, I could hear the hissing of it going right through the hide. Then the gator started to moan and groan, and then the dagger suddenly started to disintegrate from it's back, and the gator returned to a soul, and then died and had not a trace remaining.
After that performance the gators all got shaky, and started to make a run for it.
I could see the cloaked man right there, watching me, but I couldn't see his face.
The cloaked man then takes a few steps and speaks:
Impressive.... you think that you can stop ME? Roger shall take the Caribbean, and your mind along with it.....
As I grab my pistol from my belt, and shoot it right at him, as he ducks, it catches the hood he was wearing and took it down.
What I saw left me in shock.
What I saw made me totally regret even following him.
The look in his eyes, the darkness staring right at me, pure black just looking at me, creating a hole into my chest.
The textures of his face, all recognizable. But it wasn't him. It wasn't his true self.
It was.
My father.
