(Europhia map)
The wind blows while the Sun began to set. We still on the board in the way to Gallia. Every single crews do their job. Riga is second Captain that control the wheel, while Najeen is first Captain to help Riga moving the ship with air elemental.
That's the things. Najeen is a Cambiar. Cambiar comes from Spanish language that mean 'change' and the people call Mage with weather or air element a 'Cambiar'. Really strange to know that Orc can do all element of magic and according to my search, she do Necromancy too.
"Vincent!" Calls Riga from upper deck. I'm walking to him right after he called me.
"What's it?" I says.
"You know that sooner or later, the big civil war is going to be happened." He says as relaxing some muscle. "So the strategy. What's it? What are you going to do after reach Gallia?"
I'm standing beside him while the rain began fall. "Not pretty clear," I start to think about it. "Maybe I'm just going to start collecting the power. Because I think Alexander is not Nobles that just seek the crown, but there's something more big than that. But, I just don't know it yet."
"Indeed it's true." He back the focus to the sea. "I think I can give you some help to reclaim the throne. I don't think it's going to be that perfect, but worth to try."
"What's in your mind?" I'm curious with his offer.
"Well... I lied about born here, i was totally Kalmar's (Norway-Sweeden), but I lied just because I tired to see people like your friend, people that always see us as big bad man or woman. And in the other hand, I'm a friend of the Queen and I can tell her about the Deutchland heir problems."
"So.. you think the Queen is going to help me?"
"Not that positive, but like I said. Worth to try."
I'm nodding in agreement as start to enjoy the rain. The every drop is clearing the dust on the ship. The wave hitting back and forth while the rain start getting thicker. The source of light become thin and become no more visible. The Mages on the ship start using magic to summon bulb of light.
"Halt! There's blockade." Shout the navigator. The shout made everyone looks to the blockade that he says.
Entire ship was shocked. "Oh no.. I don't wanna die here," says one of the crew while the other is praying or rushing back and forth.
"What's happening? Did that ship is legends like the Floating Dutchman?" I ask to Najeen and Riga.
"According to the shock," Najeen have heavy breath. "It's Widowmaker. The most famous pirate ship on the sea."
"And the most ruthless one," continue Riga. "That's what folk says for at least five years ago."
I'm not saying anything, and start to use a binocular to see the nightmare. And yes it is. The ship. That's not the normal ship usually pirates have like Frigate. And instead, they have Man o' War, the biggest warship that ever made, and the one that Gallia ever use to start naval wars against West Hesperia (Spain) 34 years ago, and always renovated with new design.
"Put the white flag," I said while never leaving the binocular. "They're 4 ship. All is Man o' War. Fighting them is most stupid thing in life." I explain.
"You hear what he said." Yell Najeen, and the crew start obeying.
The white flag is rising, signaling 'surrender'. We are some kilometers ahead but i can see the grin on the Captain even without binocular. The signal of surrender is just going to be one of two things. Either it's going to be death, or joining them.
"Sorry Prince Vincent, I have made you disappointed." Says Najeen as The Leviathan let her body dragged by the pirates flying anchor.
"Whatever it takes Najeen, whatever it takes." I said.
Leviathan dragged along the side until her portside hitting the Widowmaker. Without hesitation I, Riga and Najeen climbing the side of Widowmaker to talk with the Captain.
"Are we going to-" Says Riga but cut off by me.
"No we're not." I know what he thinks, but I just don't want to do that here.
So we're standing on the starboard. Pushed all the way to the Captain deck by that has crowd from Widowmaker crews.
"So.. why did you sailing across?" Ask the Captain of the Pirates while her back is against us.
"We're sailing to Gallia." Answer Najeen truthfully.
"That's weird. Why did you even need to s-" She reply while turning his front to us, and stop doing anything after she sees me.
All of the pirates chat and laugh is stopped when their Captain stunned.
She's inspecting me start from cloth, weapon until my face. "You... You're Vincent, the Prince. That's impossible. Your black cloth, that sword of Odense and your family one and only blue sky coloured eyes." She grasp along the way.
The pirates start murmuring when the captain still stunned.
"Did I know you? I mean.. yeah almost everybody can recognize me in Denmark region, but how did you know the detail?" I says.
She's answering after she kneeling. "My Prince. I am Gale, the Deutchland Naval General. I have serve our land for long times, but when Alexander comes, he start vanishing the Identity of Deutchland start from the guard changed the Royal colour, start diplomacy with the Slavia Rus (Ukraine and around it) and Kiev Rus (Lithuania and around it) that basically our enemies, and bann the Royal Guard in the castle except for some Guards. I know something isn't right. In the other hand, I changed to be pirates for some years because of the Tyranny that he do." She says really fast.
"Okay... Okay, calm down." I says but she starts that really fast speak just like the arrow shooted by the folk legends 'Black Hood'.
"No, I'm not going to calm except you claim my apologies. And even if yo-"
"Okay i get it," I cut her off. "I get it. I accept your apology. And now can you help me cross the barricade?" I says to an unstable Captain, I know some people just going to be like this if they're fell guilty.
"U.. a.. Yess! I can let you cross our barricade my prince." She say as back up from kneeling and really in good mood. Very quick mood changes.
"Captain, i think it's not going to be that easy," one of the pirates says as he get closer to us. "He's coming." He continue, right when the thunder strikes and the rain become more thicker.
Every single pirates moving to the main deck and search something. The panic on their face just like crew from Leviathan.
"It's Leviathan." Gale says just like this is a coincidence. "The weather changes that quick, really impossible to say this is natural changes."
Riga and Najeen prepare his weapon for fight. "There was a pirates and now a sea monster. Wow. That's make my life complete." Says Najeen.
The king of sea monster or usually called 'Leviathan' roaring. Even though he's underwater, the Leviathan roar is so loud and the frequency is making the planks on the ship moving. And there's it. He's coming.
Leviathan is hitting the surface. He had head just like dragon but he has no wings and called wyrm monster types. He has scales all around his body and his head is glowing by thunder.
"Graaa." Leviathan do a quick roar, and back to the sea.
"Hold yourself!" Shout Gale. And she's right. Leviathan charge to the lower side of Man o' War and making the entire ship shaking.
Leviathan then back to the surface. The crew shooting the ship cannon to the Leviathan, even the monster sea doesn't look like he's in trouble. Leviathan charge himself up, and make a ball of thunder on his mouth. And throw it to the ship.
The entire crew is look hopeless, but they're not died yet. Najeen successfully block the ball with shield of absorbing. "I can only hold his next attack, my Mana has drained. We need to attack his weakness." She says.
I search the weakness by remembering all the study I have done. "Pupil.. e... Right! The eyes!" I says just like murmuring because of the crowd.
Gale listen to what i said. "Aim for the eyes my boy." She shouts.
The crew start to attack Leviathan's eyes, but not very effective. The cannonball is too big for his eyes, and the hit just going to make him more angrier.
Leviathan try to charge his attack again, and the crew still trying. Right when I got an idea.
I jump from the ship to the Leviathan's body. He seems not recognizing me and still overwhelmed by the cannonball. I climb the body without hesitation. The ships get another strike from Leviathan as I climb his neck.
When i get to His head, Leviathan starts shaking his head to make me fall, but he just fail. I draw my sword even when his head isn't stopping yet. And i thrust it through his head, and i don't know that my blade can make it. After he get the pain from the thrust, he stop moving. And with that golden chance, i thrust his eyes.
Leviathan roaring more badly. He shaking his head and now made me fall with my sword in my hand. I fall to the deep sea. I struggle to hit the surface before out of breath with armour on. And when i hit the surface, the thunderstorm has stopped and only left little rain and body of Leviathan has fall to the deep sea.
"Chant for the Prince!" says one of the Widowmaker crew. "Prince! Prince! Prince!.."
And that's the salis. Everyone tired for the fight. But everyone is alive and make it.
"So.. I hope we can see each other again." Says Najeen when i hit the port in Dunkirk, Gallia.
"I'm looking forward when that time come my friend." I answers.
"I made a promise with you, suit yourself to see bunch of horned people and red skinned people." Jokes Riga.
And then, they're back to the ship. They're setting the sail for Kalmar with Gale's naval on their side.
I turned my back to face the marketplace of Dunkirk. Start to walk in the road of Gallia, country of cavalry. And I'm actually curious what's going to be happened.
