Setting - Some years later on the seas of a smoke filled ocean, a British naval ship floats through what’s left of a battlefield of destruction, debris, planks, torn black sails float on top of the water. A raccoon stands over the edge of the ship above looking down on what’s left of the battle dressed as an admiral leader of the three ships in tow of the British navy laced in red, white and black uniform.
Lookout - (Shouting) ALL CLEAR ADMRIAL!
Admiral - Good, these pirates are nothing but scum, one less ship to worry about…Mr Ramrov!
Militant - Yes admiral.
Admiral - Have the crew take down a salvage deck and see what we can retrieve of this mess and have my son report to me.
Militant - Right away admiral.
*Some moments later a team of a few sailors board a small raft and lower down to the sea level just near the admiral. Another one of the admiral’s red coats approaches him, also a raccoon, brown and black furred with a larger tail for his species and short brown hair, he carries his rifle with a distinction and stops before the admiral at attention.
Dressari - Yes sir you ordered for me?
Admiral - Dressari my boy you can be at ease the fighting’s over.
Dressari - (Relaxes) Yes sir.
Admiral - And call me dad, just once…please?
Dressari - …yes dad.
Admiral - Son I know you like to set an example and I know you try hard to impress me but you don’t always have to be so disciplined all the time.
Dressari - I’m sorry father I just try to keep focused.
Admiral - Well relax for now.
*Dressari steps next to his father placing the rifle against the side of the deck’s barrier.
Dressari - It was an easy victory.
Admiral - Indeed it was, despite the boarders we had everything went well, you did well son I’m proud of you.
Dressari - Thank you dad, I’m honored to be under your command.
Admiral - Hehehe.
Dressari - Huh?
Admiral - Nothing, nothing…you just never change son.
Salvager - (Shouting) Admiral we found something that survived, it’s a case!
Admiral - What kind of case?
Salvager - It’s a small wood box sir, looks highly valuable.
Admiral - Bring it up I’d like to see.
Salvager - Yes sir we’ll just get this barrel loaded onto the ship.
*A moment later the salvagers climb back aboard the ship, Dressari takes the case from one of the men and looks the case over, he walks towards his father and opens it along the way, the case is unscratched, inside is the swirling orb of light, Dressari takes it from the case and shows his father.
Dressari - Here dad.
Admiral - Well, this is certainly interesting, not the sort of things pirates tend to have on board a ship.
Dressari - Looks pretty valuable, doesn’t even look normal, feels…warm.
Admiral - You are correct it doesn’t.
*The admiral takes the orb and places it back in the case and closes it.
Admiral - Come take it down and lock it up the govonor-
Lookout - PIRATES!!
*Several explosions rock the ship as cannonballs tear the ship apart, Dressari and his father collapse from the rocking but keeping hold of the case.
Admiral - (Cursing) Blast these damnable pirates!! Quickly load the cannons and return fire!
*Several more pirate ships appear from out of the smoky mist and fire again, hitting the admiral’s ship and causing it to turn on its side a little sending many of the crew including Dressari and his father sliding down the deck, Dressari catches onto the main mast still holding the case while his father crashes into the other side of the ship, the ship steadies it’s self again.
Dressari - Dad! Are you alright!?
Admiral - -breathes- I’m fine just a little-
*Another salvo crashes into the top of the hull destroying the mast Dressari is near, it topples down wards and crashes down on the deck of the ship landing on top of the admiral the weight of the mast sending the ship to it’s side again.
Dressari - FATHER!!!
*Some boarders appear on the deck despite the slanting of the ship, two pirates confront Dressari.
Pirate - Give us all yer goods mate, or yer life!
Dressari - You filthy bastards!
*Dressari throws the case at one of the pirates hitting him square in the face, and draws his sword from his belt, and is about to attack but another attack and explosion of cannon balls strikes the ship sharply capsizing the boat, Dressari skids down the boat’s deck and crashes into the ship’s edge and flies overboard splashing into the water unconscious. Hours pass in time and Dressari lays on top of another deck in the bright sun, still unconscious from the impact a few people stand around him.
