The Journey

Etherlam grinned at that and let fly arrow after arrow into the enemy ranks.
"Good for we may need that later on."
Etherlam dropped his bow and drew his two long swords.
"But till then time for my swords to taste undead blood."
Etherlam jumped into the fray and hacked and slashed his way through undead.

-stands atop my platform, barking orders to the crew as they continue to rain fire upon the skeletons-

Strike yer colours, ye bloomin' cockroaches! We'll send ye back to Davy Jones' Locker!

Etherlam made his way to the front gate, refusing to allow any undead to enter.
"Come on then!!! Give me a challenge."
Etherlam kept his form perfect has he parried and slahed with his two blades.
"Not one of you will get past me while i still stand!"
As he finished that Etherlam could make out the tall, muscled form of a Demon appraoching and that made him grin all the more.

I finished filling up the water supply and then went out to find all the food i can carry
i came back within half and hour and waited for serina's next order

-I aim my gun at a skeleton and pull the trigger. The bullet pierces not only him, but three other skeletons. They fall down and turn into dust-

Eye of the Tiger, mates... Eye of the Tiger...

I help midnight store the food into one of our packs. I store the fish as well and return the spear to its place over ma shoulder. I then start running into villages while ember follows. We go our seperate ways and then meet back near a market with over 300 people.

Etherlam watched the Demon grow two swords from its arms, any sane mane would have fled, but Etherlam just stood there grinning. He charged the demon not afraid of it in the least. The demon brought its swords from both sides. Etherlam brought both swords up and blocked the attack, he kick the Demon in the ribs making it back up. The Demon slashed at Etherlam from all sides wanting nothing more than to finish of this dark skinned creature. Etherlam blocked every attacked not slowing in the least. Etherlam already figured how to kill the demon, he stuck both swords in the ground and drew one dagger. The Demon laughed at him, but that was all the opening he need. Etherlam hurled the dagger at the Demon and its aim was true for it went right into the Demon's throat. Etherlam clamy walked up and pushed the Demon a little. Has it fell backwards Etherlam grabbed his dagger and slid it back in its sheath along with his two finely crafted long swords.
"I expected more from a servant of the Shard."
But the Demon could not and would never reply.

-As the crew celebrated and cheered, I stood stone faced, watching the outcome of the battlefield. Blood and bones were scattered everywhere-

The day is ours, me hearties. Drinks are on Jack!

Jack: What?!

-The men cheer louder as I grin and look out to Etherlam, while I'm petting my cursed Monkey Jack-

-I noticed the Captain watching me and i grinned up at him-
Excellant work Captain Hector!
-I picked up my own prize from the battle, a horn cut from the Demon's head-
Tonight calls for celebration Captain. Perhaps a feast worthy of a king?
-I place the horn in my pack, knowing it to be a wonderous gift indeed. I take out a cloth and wipe my swords clean-

-looks at him in shock-

You expect us to make it?

Not at all Captain, I ecpect though the villagers of this fine town will make the feast for you and your men
-I grin up at him-
I am quite hungry myself

Then get to it, mate

-the crew begins pulling the cannons back, picking up supplies, and picking up valuables dropped by the fallen dead. Jack the Monkey scurries back, jumps up on my shoulder, and hands me a black pearl-

Ah, very appropriate for us, my little buddy

-tucks the black pearl away-

-I watch in the kitchen as the vilagers prepare tasty food for us-
Looks mighty tasty
Cook: thank you now be off we require space to do our work
-I'm pushed from the the building as the cooks go back to work-
Geesh cant even watch the food be made.
-I take out the horn and grin at it-
Did u find anything of value Captain?

Aye. Gold, jewels, mini portraits of the Nine Rogues (me as one of 'em), Navy badges that I can smelt down with help to me friend (a blacksmith), a sextant (I've needed one lately), a few gold teeth, and a silver lookin' suit of armor that you can have. The rest be ours

-Grapple and Mallot (cremembers) throw Etherlam the armor-

Load the cargo in the cargo hold!

Crew: Aye sir!

-They go off to the ship to load the valuables into the ship-

-Catches the armor-
It's light just the way i like it. You have my thanks Captain.
-I change into the new armor and pack my old one away-
Now we just wait for the food to be done, feast, and wait for the return of Serina and Ember. Then we make our way to the east towards the Crystal Shard and there will destroy it
-I grin up at the captain at the idea of finally being rid of the cursed Shard-

What exactly is this "Crystal Shard"?

-Gibbs, Cotton, Marty, Pintel, Ragetti, Scarlett, and Giselle take a seat next to me-

-I take out a sheet of cloth with a picture of a bright blue point crystal-
This is the Crystal Shard, its what sent that demon and army of undead here.
-I pass the cloth to them-
It has enourmous power but unless it has bearer that power is useless.
-i sigh-
Someone has found the Shard and is now using its powers to conquer. He will destroy everything in his path making everyone slaves.
-I get angry at that idea-
But we can stop him. His army came from the east, so thats where he is and thats where we are going and that is where we will finish this fight.

.... This little thing can conquer the world?

Gibbs: Well don't judge, Capn. Don't forget about the Heart...

Aye you're right... Anyway, who is this person?

That im not sure of.
-I shrug helplessly-
It could be anyone from a rutheless warrior to a common peasant. Ethier way we must use caution for i is the Shard we must worry about it.
-I look at the picture with hate-
But with you and your loyal crew Captain i believe we can win.

-pats Gibbs on the shoulder and we all grin-

Loyal might be the wrong term...

Cook: Dinner is served!

-we all get up and make our way to the dinning hall-

-picks up the piece of cloth and follows after them-
Finally i was getting hungry. And i did not mean loyal to me Captain.
-Grins-
I meant loyal to you of course.

Don't wrroy about it, Etherlam. All in good time

-sits down next to Gibbs and Scarlett-

-Has confused look on face but shrugs it all away-
I'm starving anyway
-grins and sits down at table, feeling a little out of place among the pirates of Captain Hector's crew-
And wat have the cooks prepared for us?
-As i finish the food is brought in and put on the table for everyone to freely eat-

-The trays are taken off, revealing fish, appitizers, and a pig-

Dig in

-We begin to devouer our food. I pour myself some wine-

-I pour myself a glass of red wine and take some of the roasted pig-
Looks very good.
-Grins at the cooks-
Cook: thank you. anything for the heros of our fair town.
-starts to eat the juicy warm pig-
What do u think Captain?
