Jolly Roger and the Black Cauldron

[Kraken Guard]

Jolly Roger and the Black Cauldron

Ezekiel Rott woke up with a startle when Samuel Shaw came down to wake him up.

"Cap'n, we've got a problem." Samuel said to Ezekiel. Ezekiel sat up in his hammock with a grumble, glaring at the other Casa De Muertos member with a venomous look.

"How many times do I have to tell 'ya: Don't refer to me as 'Captain' when we're on Roger's ship." Rott said to Samuel with warning.

"Sorry, sir." Samuel said, lowering his head in shame for a brief moment. Before Ezekiel managed to speak another word, he heard the sound of loud chatter and rushing footsteps up above the deck. Ezekiel Rott raised a curious eyebrow at this, and he finally got up off of his Hammock and asked Samuel what exactly this 'problem' was. "Cap- I mean, Sir.. We seem to be stuck in the middle of land."

Ezekiel Rott raised his eyebrow again as he heard these words. The first thing that popped into his head was that Samuel worded it all wrong and they had run afoul of the reef. But it was not so.. "When the crew woke up, the ship, and everyone aboard it, were suddenly stranded in this forest." As he heard these words, Ezekiel's expression changed slightly. Walking past Samuel, Ezekiel came out onto the docks of the Harkaway and his eyes went wide with shock when he saw that they were, indeed, stranded in the middle of some landscape unknown.

"What happened?" Ezekiel demanded, going up and asking the closest crewmate nearby(Who just so happened to be the Red-Headed Kraken Guard, a former crewmember of the currently deceased Davy Jones).

"Sir.." The Kraken Guard began. "We woke up and saw that we were suddenly stranded in this forest here. No one knows how we got here-"

"Or where we are!" Darkhart cut in as he looked over the railing of the ship. Ezekiel looked back at the Kraken Guard and asked her: "Has the captain been notified of this?"

"No, not yet at least. He's still asleep.." The Kraken Guard replied, shaking her head. Suddenly, a loud 'thump!' was heard in the captains quarters, followed by angry shouting. A seemingly feral grin appeared on the Kraken Guard's face, revealing a few of the sharp fangs that had been leftover of her mutation during her servitude on the Dutchman. "Well, he was asleep.." She added in, still retaining the amused but seemingly vicious grin on her face..



Not too far from where the Harkaway was stranded, a young boy with short brown hair came walking through greenlands and into a forest. The boy was accompanied by a young pig, walking happily next to it's keeper and sniffing a few of the flowers that were nearby. This was Taran, and he was given an important task by his mentor, Dallben, concerning the pig..

"Gosh, Hen Wen.." The boy began, starting up conversation with the pig known as Hen Wen. "I never knew you could create visions and things like that! I thought you were just an ordinary pig. I had no idea you were so.. special!" Taran said to Hen Wen. "Dallben's going to be glad he put his trust in me! Just you wait and see!"

"Now, don't go wandering about!" Taran told the pig as it came walking back after it finished sniffing the flowers. With a pet of it's head, Taran added in: "And don't you worry. Keep close to me and no one will do you any harm." Taran said to Hen Wen with a smile.

Taran was raised in a small cottage by a man named Dallben for as long as he could remember. He was assigned the duty of being an assistant Pig-Keeper of the pig, Hen Wen. And he had only discovered a few days ago that Hen Wen contained magical powers. Hen Wen was an Oracular Pig, and she had the ability to see into the future. However, Taran often had dreams that one day, he would become a great warrior. Taran would often have daydreams of being a warrior, and this proved to be a distraction. And with a task such as the one he currently had now, it was a dangerous distraction..

Taran had become distracted by one of these daydreams, and when he finally came to, Hen Wen was nowhere to be found..
