He was a man of unusual size & strength. He had a quiet way about him and a hearty spirit that make him likeable and trustworthy to all who knew him. His fellow crew members on the merchant vessel 'The Golden Promise' trusted him to see to their wounds when they were injured or to plot their course with the lead navigator.</p><p></p><p>His wife, Nira, trusted him to keep coming home from each voyage and provide for her and their young son and daughter. Jolan and Jenelle trusted their father to protect them from harm. But one act of kindness betrayed their trust and destroyed them all.</p><p></p><p>---PART II---</p><p>Nira had worked all season to organize a relief shipment of food for the people around Silverport suffering from the drought that was killing their crops. Through cajoling, campaigning, and shaming the wealthy nobles of Kingsport,, she was eventually able to get agreements from enough of them to contribute a shipload full of food and supplies which would help those whose farms were failing. She even managed to get the King to donate the use of one of the Navy's ships to transport the goods to Silverport. Her husbands ship, the "Golden Promise" was tasked with delivering the cargo of foodstuffs. She was even going to be allowed to sail on the ship with her husband and their children on the journey to Silverport and back to Kingsport. She was scared, a little, but her husband assured her how safe the short journey normally was. With a hug from him, she banished her fears and went back to supervising the loading of the ship as stormclouds gathered on the southern horizon.</p><p></p><p>---Part III---</p><p>The storm soaked the deck of the Golden Promise as she sailed towards Silverport. Lightning flashed and thunder cracked and boomed from the black sky. Another boom sounded suddenly, the sound of wood splintering and a fireball exploding on deck! They were under attack! Grappel lines were thrown and the inevitable boarding began. Nira was locked in the Captains cabin with the children for safety. Her husband turned from the locked doors and found himself face to face with an onrushing wall of flame and wood splinters. He tried to dive away, but darkness took him and he knew no more for awhile while the battle raged on around his prone form.</p><p></p><p>---Part IV---</p><p>He awoke to the sound of continued battle and the smell of smoke and blood. A limp body was sprawled across him and as he went to get up, the person he shifted of of himself groaned and started sliding off the edge of the hole in the deck, threatening to fall into the fire raging below. He wasn't sure who this person was, but if he didn't grab the man, he was as good as dead. Catching a belt, he strained and pulled the man back up on the deck before passing out from the pain and the strain. Consciousness unfolded around him again as he opened his eyes to see the soot smeared face of the man he had saved before. "This is the one that saved my life? You are sure?", the man asked one of the pirates standing nearby. "Yes sir.", the pirate nodded three times while twisting his hat in his hands nervously. "So, a member of my own crew causes a disaster that nearly kills me, and this stranger saves my life from your incompetence. Is that an accurate sumnation of the events today?", the pirate captain asks. "Yes, sir. Yes, sir." the pirate crewman says while nodding his head even faster before continuing, "But..." he begins, before a slim rapier punctures his throat and drives out through the other side. The pirate drops to the deck, gasping and gurgling like a fish out of water before expiring in a rapidly expanding pool of crimson. "I suppose I can't kill YOU then, since I owe you my life. I swear, you shall leave this ship alive, good sir. It's the least I can do for you, and I mean that sincerely.", the captain says before motioning to one of those holding the prisoner as he walks away. With a thump on the back of his skull, darkness claims him again as he realizes that he knows that face from somewhere!</p><p></p><p>---Part V---</p><p>The splash of water on his face awoke him, if barely. Salty and warm. He saw the prow of the ship out of blurry eyes as the waves lapped at him. The prow was sinking below the waves as he watched and soon afterward, the suction of the ship going down under him threatened to pull him under or knock him off his precarious perch on a large wooden hatchcover which bobbed and floated on the waves amongst the wreckage and the bodies. The waves and the tears conspired to keep his vision watery and dimmed until the darkness took him away again from the pain and the loss he was drowing in more surely than the ocean deep beneath him.</p><p></p><p>---Part VI---</p><p>He was on an island somewhere in the boundless sea. It had taken him a few days to walk around the edge of the island to make sure. But now he stood there on the beach holding the marker he had placed there a few days ago before setting out to test his theory. No civilization, no people, and no boats along the shoreline. Jungle covered most of the island down to the beach and all the way up the central hill. He fell to his knees, then over onto his side as the sobbing began. "Nira! Jolan! Janelle! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry..." he moaned as the sun set on another day and the tide began to roll in and splash against the man lying on the wet sand.</p><p></p><p>---Part VII---</p><p>He slashed his way through the jungle with the knife which had made the crossing with him in his boot. Anger gave his limbs power and kept his legs churning as he made his way up the incline towards the summit of the island. It had been several months since his arrival here, and the man had found a rythem of anger and pain which fueled his survival and pushed him onward. Except for the times that he remembered too much and collapsed in a useless sobbing heap. Like a weakling. Like a child..."NO!" he yelled at himself. Not that. Not again. Not now that he was close to the top finally. It was steep here and the path was slippery in the torrential rain, at least when the sucking mud didn't threaten to rip the boots off his feet and keep him from moving forward. At least the rain would be filling his water pits again. They had almost run dry since the last rains. Finally, he made it around the hill and up the last part to the top of the hill just as the sky cleared and the rain went away as suddenly as it had started. He looked out over the island, slowly turning in a circle, and saw nothing but ocean as far as the eye could see past the shore. Except in some areas where the view was blocked by the tallest trees high on the top slope. He would have to sharpen some new rocks and cut them down.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p>[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>
