At sea a ship was traveling calmly towards the horizon, at the tip of the ship there was a black-haired woman with whitish-gray locks that showed her advanced age, she had a white coat engraved with the vice admiral on the back with gold embroidery, behind her, other women in sailor uniforms can be seen.
Suddenly a woman shouted loudly "Vice Admiral Tsuru I see smoke in front of us" hearing what the marine had said the vice admiral ordered them to go directly to the island
once the ship landed on the island both women saw houses destroyed by flames, mutilated bodies among men, women, the elderly and even children, some bodies were recognizable others lacked limbs it was a massacre
"it was the pirates who did all this" said a marine gritting his teeth in anger, "see if there are still living citizens or pirates on the island" I order Tsuru hai marine, hearing the order the marines are all set at work to look for some people still alive or at least the piarti who have made this massacre
shortly after starting the search the marines found the pirate ship on the other side of the island but completely empty
"vice admiral we found a survivor but there is a problem" said a marine, tsuru hearing this and headed to where the only survivor was found
arriving at that place you could see a bunch of bodies, they all seemed to faint because there was not a single wound on their bodies, in the center of the pile of bodies you could see a child who, apparently about 5 years old, had very pale skin almost cadaveric, platinum white hair with torn clothes and very impressed you could see two red lines on the boy's face, looking closer you could see that they were actually blood tears
seeing this scene the vice admiral tsuru asked what it was all about, "vice admiral all the pirates around the child no longer breathe, the strangest thing is that they do not have a single wound on their bodies, the child is unconscious, one thing strange and that on the boy's face there were two lines of tears made of blood "
hearing what the marine tsuru said was surprised by the dead bodies, she was worried also for the child because she knows that for a person who cries tears of blood he must have suffered incomparable pain
"take the child back to the ship and have him treated, about the bodies, burn the pirates and bury the citizens" I order tsuru
after having finished burying the citizens, the marine returned to the ship and left again, they spent 3 days of navigation before the child opened his eyes, looking around noticing that he was no longer on the island but he was in a clean and lighted room and that he was lying in a bed
"you are finally awake" someone said in the room, hearing this voice the child turned his head and found a woman who was sitting on a chair near the desk staring at him with a smile
"what is your name ?" the woman asked, the child did not answer, continuing to stare at her with blank eyes, "can you tell me how old you are?" the woman asked always receiving the same empty look from the child, trying more questions trying to talk to the child the woman could not get an answer
a short time later the child fell asleep again, seeing him domire the woman left the cabin, going out to meet the vice admiral who was waiting for her outside
"how are you ?" he asked tsuru to the woman who had just left, proving that he was the ship's doctor, "very badly, he doesn't want to talk, that child went through a horrible thing to lock himself in like that" replied the doctor
tsuru I look at the cabin door with a melancholy look.
