Chapter 19 - The voyage of the dammed

The first day of the voyage was quite boring. Hailey, Max and Master Ketia were all asleep throughout the entire day as they were exhausted (overusing there will). I myself did not really get exhausted just could use my will for a while. Until recently I did not know why but now I do you see I was half god and half angel.

I also learned through reading Master Ketia's book the old gods, that they were not gods and angels like the nuns and priest preach about. It was more exciting than that they were a race from many stars away that got lost from their home flotilla (a group of ships that travelled together). The last chapter of Master Ketia's book was hard reading as it describes how the pantheon became corrupted and cruel.

My mother along with my father and the first of the order of light rose against her father and his supporters, but it was to late only a few humans believed in them so they hid in a pocket dimension between this universe and the next.

After the second Day Hailey was awake. "I don't feel sick" she smiled with joy. She got up and stretched "you know what this means "she looked at practically jumping while trying to chose and outfit, to my surprised she looked like a female pirate.

"maybe not the eye patch "I said with a slight chuckle as I rove the eye patch.

She gave me a big kiss " this means I don't have to take those horrible tablets " she joyfully said going on to tell me that she had to learn to sail at a very young age as her mother was always bed ridden and the captain could die easily.

After that we went on deck, Hailey rushed to the captain and started talk nautical terms. The smile on her face was enchanting. Y train of thought was disrupted the sound of Max defending himself. I looked around and there was a group of crew members surround him.

"me knife is missing ye little Darko" the pale crew hand said to max.

Max with panic in his eyes" I did not I swear to goddess I did not"

"goddess (him and his crew mates laughed) god is a man" the pale boy no older than me laughed

"and where did they teach you that the plantation" and before he could say anymore, I was on top of him smashing his face two black auras formed around my fists. Max pulled me off by the back of my cloak. " relax Nak " he said calmly as I looked around Hailey was looking at me with tears in her eyes as she ran down to the cabins, I looked at my blood soaked hands then back to the screaming boy on the deck he was being dragged away by his scared crew mates down to the crew quarters.

I ran to hailey she was crying on the bed. "hailey I didn't mean to he was being raciest I was just meant to hit him...I'm sorry" I said as I sat on the edge of the bed.

"it's not that" ..." it's me am turning you to the dark" she said between whimpers

" don't be stupid I can only do dark auras because some of my family evil like yours, sometimes the dark can help fight the dark" I said to her reassuringly then it clicked I cant fight Lucifryia with light so ill use the dark.

After playing with Hailey's long beautiful golden hair she cheered up. We walked hand in hand to the deck. A whole mob was in front of us. They all looked angry, some were shouting demon luckily, they were held back by some of the captain's loyal supporters. Just before things got out of hand in the distance there was a crackling of laughter as in the moonlights shadow came three bats like humanoids. Just as the whole deck turned to look, they were already upon us as they snatched three of the crew by the legs and split them in two while each of the humanoids flew under the raining blood.

I recognised the three figures right away. If was the vampire brides. The alarm bell rang" everyone to battle stations" the captions yelled at the top of his voice, the crew disappeared to the armoury, so, me to the gatling guns. The machine gunners shot up in the air maybe if the brides were naked there Gray bodies exposed like the last time it might have held them back.

This time however there were in battle amour the only thing expose was there faces, not even there wings were exposed the black amour shing in the moonlight as they swooped down and ripped the gatling guns of their stand with their large talons. The blonde one threw the large gun at the captain knocking him of the side of the ship.

The wheel started turning to one side as did the ship, I barely held my footing as Hailey let go of my hand and struggled to get to the wheel. About five long minutes she manged to get a hold and no sooner than that she got us upright. The crew appeared rifles in hand swords in the sheaths.

Two of the tree brides landed. There large talons made short work of the crew as the red hair one was charging at me, he her like a blazing fire I took aim with my bow. I let an arrow fly it bounced of her shiny black armour. Just in the nick of time I rolled out of the way as she tore off a large chunk of the deck flew up in the air and turned for another go.

I concentrated hard about all the bad stuff that is happened I felt the rage I felt when max was getting attack, the absolute sorrow I felt when I seen Hailey dead. Quickly I took aim this time a large black arrow shot up and went straight threw the black amour, the vampire fell and hit the deck with a crash not thinking I formed a dark axe and swung it at her neck and her head came of with a pop as black blood poured out of her.

The other two vampires screamed in sorrow, fangs and talons out they were but to charge but I formed bow dark arrows and they leaped up in the sky and as fast as the came they were gone again.
