Chapter 10 - EXTRACTED Captain of The Pequod Blake

"Welcome aboard, greenhorn! The Pequod is ready, but are you? Raise the sails higher!"

Appearance:

Blake stands tall as a figure of authority and resolve. She dons a dark green captain's coat with golden trim, worn over a loose, untucked white button-up shirt that reflects her rugged yet commanding presence. Her darker green pants complement her outfit, with one leg tucked neatly into a black-and-gold prosthetic peg leg that begins at her left knee.

A crooked captain's hat adorned with a singed feather rests atop her head, casting a shadow over her determined golden eyes. Her harpoon, a weapon nearly as tall as she is, has a transparent cylinder behind its tip, containing a flickering flame that grows stronger during moments of heightened emotion. Blake exudes the aura of a leader who would go to any lengths for her purpose, inspiring fierce loyalty from her crew.

Identity story:

Blake: "TO YOUR POSTS, YOU LOT!"

The sharp clang of Blake's harpoon striking the deck silenced the rumble of the crew's chatter. She stood at the ship's helm, her crooked hat tilted slightly to one side. Her golden eyes, glowing like twin beacons, swept across the faces of her sailors.

Blake: "Are your ears stuffed with seaweed? I said, TO YOUR POSTS!"

Yang, the tattooed Harpooner, didn't miss a beat.

Yang: "AYE, CAPTAIN!"

She hefted her harpoon, its sharpened tip glinting in the crimson twilight, and stomped a foot onto the deck.

Blake: "And the rest of you? Has the lake swallowed your courage? Speak up, sailors! Show me what you're made of!"

The crew exchanged looks before their voices rose in unison, loud and raucous.

Sailors: "AYE, CAPTAIN!"

Blake let a sly grin creep onto her face. She paced forward, the rhythmic thunk of her peg leg punctuating the moment, and leaned slightly on her harpoon.

Blake: "Do you know what lies ahead? Do you realize the beast we are hunting? Tell me, my crew—do you fear it?"

The deck fell silent, save for the creak of the ship as it swayed on the turbulent lake. But the silence wasn't one of hesitation. It was a silence of resolve.

Blake: "Good. Because there's no room for cowards on my ship."

Her voice lowered, taking on a dangerous edge.

Blake: "The Monstra awaits. The Leviathan Whale, with limbs like iron chains and suction cups strong enough to rip apart this very vessel. It will try to crush us, to drag us into the depths where no light can reach."

She paused, watching the fire ignite in her crew's eyes.

Blake: "And yet, I see not a shred of fear in you. Only anticipation. Only fire. That's why you're mine. That's why you're the crew of the Pequod."

The sailors roared, their voices crashing together like waves in a storm.

Sailors: "AYE, CAPTAIN!"

Blake planted her harpoon firmly on the deck, its flame roaring to life.

Blake: "Good. Now, follow my lead. Follow my compass. Because at the end of this voyage lies the one thing we all desire and at the end of that purpose, there is only victory."

Her words hung heavy in the air, igniting something primal in the hearts of her crew. She turned sharply, her peg leg striking the wood with authority.

Blake: "Ren!"

Ren, her first mate, stepped forward. Calm and precise as always, his hands were clasped behind his back.

Ren: "At your command, Captain."

Blake: "The wheel goes to the Second Mate. Tell them to hold the course. Once that's done, arm yourself and meet me at the bow. Understood?"

Ren: "Consider it done."

Her gaze shifted to Yang, who was already pacing at the stern, harpoon in hand.

Blake: "Yang! You'll take the rear. When the beast shows itself, wait for your moment. I trust your aim will be true."

Yang grinned, her harpoon gleaming under the crimson sky.

Yang: "At your command, Captain."

As the commands spread through the crew, the lake began to boil. The water turned red as blood, bubbling as if the very depths were alive.

Sailor: "IT'S SURFACING!"

The crew turned their eyes toward the lake, the ship creaking beneath their weight as they leaned toward the railing. The leviathan's shadow rose from the depths, its monstrous form breaking the surface with a roar that sent sprays of water across the deck.

Blake: "Steady yourselves! Keep your eyes on me!"

She lifted her harpoon, its flame blazing bright. Her voice cut through the chaos like a knife.

Blake: "SAY MY NAME!"

The crew bellowed as one, their voices shaking the very air.

Sailors: "BLAKE! CAPTAIN OF THE PEQUOD!"

Blake: "Monstra! You'll learn that name tonight! You'll remember it when this harpoon carves your name in the history of this lake!"

The leviathan's tail smashed into the water, sending waves crashing against the Pequod. But Blake's voice carried on, steady and unyielding.

Blake: "Let the flames of my harpoon light the way! Let tonight mark the end of your reign, Monstra!"

She pointed the harpoon at the leviathan's gaping maw, her golden eyes burning with determination.

Blake: "ALL HANDS!"

Blake: "CHARGE!!!"
