[Captain Del]

Prologue ~ Tortuga Nights

The rain falls heavy down on to the port city of Tortuga. Rains drops patter off of the roof tops as they dampen the soft dirt ground, now ridden with puddles and mud. The lights of the port buzz on the balconies, in the door openings, and from the windows of the city, where the regular life goes on inside - men and women dancing, flirting, drinking and gambling all across the bars of Tortuga, though the crowds are no match for the one that gathers in the Faithful Bride, easily the most populated bar around the clock east of Trinidad.

From across the bar, a scrawly looking man pushes his way through the dazed crowd in silence, ignoring all the shouting and yelling that comes from the bar, the railings, and even the chandelier, where a few mad revelers swing and shout, spilling their drinks on the people below them. He doesn't want to draw any attention to him - and he does just that.

Meanwhile, outside in the city, a cloaked figure hurries his way through the desolant streets, emptied out by the rain. In and out between every alleyway and corridor he hides, watching over his shoulder. He can hear the heavy black leather boots pounding in to the ground, like they are closing in on him - though they are nowhere to be seen.

The pirate in the bar finally pushes his way to the goal, a little table reserved in the far corner of the tavern, around it sitting a few men. He looks at the two sitting directly across from him, and nods his head as he slides a small, folded piece of parchment across the table, to which a leathered, jeweled hand quickly snatches up.

Delmaria brings the piece of paper up to him, and reads it quickly. His face sparks with interest, as he shows it to Joshamee, who sits at his side. They both whisper back and forth at each other, before Delmaria turns back to the pirate. "Call out the crew."
