[Solomon O]

Chapter 3

As Solo pointed Henry looked over, his eyes wide with shock. Some other crew that were on guard duty looked in that direction as well. It was a ship with a black flag and a skull & crossbones,a pirate ship! Solomon was the first to re-act ringing the alarm bell. Soon the deck was flooded by a ocean of crewmen. The captain was at the helm issueing orders to the crew. They started loading starboard cannons, waiting for an order.

The two ships started circuling each other. The captain of La Revanche des Brouillards was first to order, yelling FIRE! Cannons boomed and wood flying, none damage was yet to come to La Revanche des Brouillards but the other ship was very badly damaged, in fact Solomon noticed this wasn't even a war ship. The enemy ship tilted to the side that had taken damage, before long the ship was floating on its starboard side. Another broadside fired rom Solomon's ship and again the ship took more damage.

The battle was over, no damage had come to their ship what-so-ever, not much could be said of the crew, Solomon had taken a nasty cut from a piece of shrapnel and so had other Navy and Sailors. The pirate ships lay in ruins. Captain John orderd the crew to search for survivors, stating that it was his duty in the navy to help others including pirates. After a while the searchers returned, Solo had not gone with them for the Captain had said he was too young.

The captain got off the rowboat and walked towards Solo. in his had was beautiful swor. It had a gold pommel, with a blue saphire on the very end, where the blade met the pommel was three diamonds as well. The sword was a dark grey and near the end it widened before forming a sharp point. "I know its not right to steal, but one of the pirates gave this to me asking to spare his life," stated Captain John "I want ye to have it"
"Thank'ee" Replied Solo, very grateful. The sun reflected off the sword, which made it look like it was sparkling. Along with the sword, the crew had capture 13 men that were thrown into the brigg.

The sun was peeking over the horizon by the time they set sail. Most crew opted not to go to sleep again since they would wake up in a hour or two. There was a cool breeze along with the warm sunlight. Solomon had climbed the crows nest and watched the wrekage that lay a distance behind him. Then he noticed the cut on his arm, when he recieved it it didnt look that bad, now in the light he could see it all. The cut streched from above his elbow to his wrist. it was oozing blood, a watery substance and some yellow substance as well. The pain was unbearable, Solo even thought he saw some wood inside the wound...
