And now we have tonight's bedtime story about pirates.

Ahem, Once upon a time...

Cutting across the ravenous and feral sea, The all so feared Princess sailed - billowing sails catching wind and setting her across the black abyss. All men feared her scarlet sails, knowing well that in her wake she'd bring terror and destruction of all in her path, her tamer and master being a man that most believed to be the devil. His eyes a cursed unnatural gold, and a sneer so sinister, that grown men would weep and beg at his feet. Captain Daniel Lee was his name, feared as much as he was devilishly handsome. On a midsummer day, the feared captain had set on a mission, a quest if you will, to very simply collect the head of a traitor. Enriek Pond, a man once a part of the Princess's crew - Well, until he'd crossed the captain, sold him out to the navy for the promise of "all the gold he could carry" and a spot in the royal navy commander.

And all children who know the dark tales of Captain Daniel 
would know very well that it is unwise to cross the devil.


Leagues of water had been sliced open in the Princess's wake before she'd finally come to rest in the harbor of Kingston. The heart of the king's royal navy in the Bahamas. Unsuspecting, Enriek went about his business - scheduling hangings, sorting merchants, practicing swordplay, and secretly lusting over the memory of freedom out on the open waters. Long before his renown betrayal, the young Scott had made a vow to a young maiden back in England, that he'd come back for and marry her when they could be swimming in gold and riches from his crimes. But she'd married off to another suitor around the time of his betrayal in which in his grief, he'd made one too many foolish mistakes. 

Daniel had sent a group of his men out onto the island, scouring the city in search for the traitor, Daniel soon coming to the conclusion that all gingers should just go off and live in an isolated city because they generally were the sources of his problems. By nightfall, the trio of men he'd sent out came back aboard, the young militant slung over the broadest of their shoulders before being thrown onto the deck. The captain sneered at the wasted man at his feet, nudging his cheek with the toe of his boot before demanding he kiss it. Enriek quivered, paralyzed with fear of the inevitable, for he knew that no amount of groveling would save his neck at this point - though the consequence he was about to bear witness to was like none he'd ever even fathomed. Soon enough, the traitorous brat had been hog tied with his own declaration pins, stuck through the skin on each knee and through the skin on each elbow - holding him in the fetal position as he was stuffed into a crate full of gold. 

"All the gold you can carry, was it?", Daniel mused as he looked down to the horrified commander in the box - eyes flashing as a smirk curled up on his scarred lips. 

The next thing that he knew was that the lights had been quenched, the excruciating pain in his knees and arms had gone numb, and his lungs were screaming for him to breath - soon giving way with a plume of bubbled rising to the surface of the bay as the commander had descended to the sandy bed bellow.

And that, kiddies, is why you never cross the devil. uvu 

Sweet dreams and goodnight, I'm gonna bounce and watch Teen Wolf now.
