CHAPTER 9: We are Vlanakian
/ You just found out that if the Princess or Vlad Cogred go to Craxbort, they will be executed.
Chris: What??
Victoria: I don't care. All aboard.
/ You got to the boat and find a young man standing up there.
Man: Did you find the favorite boy?
Victoria: see for yourself.
Willy: and who the hell is that guy?
Octavia: That is our quartermaster, Samson.

/ You both enter on the ship

/ The pirates detach you. Samson's eyes land on you.
Samson: And who is this?
Victoria: You ain't gonna believe me if I tell yay.
Oliver: He is a thief.
Dereck: And a Luxamy too.
/ Without lose any minute, Samson takes his sword and points it at your throat.
Victoria: We already did that.
/ Samson ignores her and looks at you.
Samson: So Luxamy why are you far from home?
Chris: I have already answer that.
Samson: Not to me
Chris: Okay, I robbed the king of Luxamina.
/ Samson lowers his sword and chuckles.
Samson: The king?
/ You nod. They are getting ready to sail.
A little while. You turn to Silyart.
Chris: why are they after you?
Silyart: I don't know but if we're going to Craxbort. It would be for one reason.
Princess: and what is it?
Silyart: Let just say I had an affair with the Queen of Craxbort.
Willy: Really? Wow.
/ Before anyone speaks again you hear voices.
Mal: Intruder.
/ Everyone heads to the canons. When you get up you see a big ship approach. Captain's hand in the air. Pirates wait for her order. Suddenly, you see cannonballs from the other ship shoots at you. Then Victoria shouts.
Victoria: Fire!!
/ You see both ships start to fire at each other. But your ship doesn't stand a chance. You remembered a video you have seen on youtube *how to make a ship drown fast* You head upstairs to Victoria.
Chris: I know how to beat them.
Victoria: You are a thief, not a pirate.
Chris: Tell your man to shoot the cannonball under the ship, not above the boat.
Victoria: What?
Chris: I also don't want to die here so trust me.
/ Victoria looks at you carefully. Then sighs.
Victoria: We're out of option anyway. Eyo, SHOOT IT UNDER!!
Samson: what?
Victoria: I say shoot under the ship not above it.
Dereck: Aye, Captain.
/ They lower their Cannon and shoot the ship from under while you murmur at yourself.
Chris:(Shoot the ship from under and just run, in the meanwhile, it will drown in 30 seconds)
Victoria: What are you saying.
/ Chris shouts.
Chris: NOW!! We Run!!
Oliver: What?
Mal: Did he gives us an order?
/ Before anyone says anything. Victoria shouts too.
Victoria: Turn and Run!!!
Samson: Aye, on it.
/ You watch the other ship slowly drown. Everyone screams of joy while you speak to yourself
Chris: And that how Carlos.com would have done it!
Victoria: who?
Chris: It nothing just a channel on youtube calls Carlos.com
/ Just then you remember that you're in the past.
Victoria: Is this Carlos your master?
Chris: Yeah, kind of.
Victoria: Then he must be smart.
/ You smile because she doesn't know that she is talking about a group channel and not one person. Until you hear a voice behind you that makes you shudder.
Samson: Damn, Captain what was that?
Victoria: What?
Samson: Are we taking orders from strangers now.
Victoria: If those strangers don't want to die too, yes. And by the way, it works. Didn't it?
Samson: That not what I meant.
Victoria: Then what
/ Samson looks at you and swears.
Samson: If I was the captain...
Victoria: But you are not. I am. Understood?
Samson: Yes, Captain.
/ Victoria turns to everyone.
Victoria: Take some rest. Tomorrow is a big day.
/ Victoria leans forward to Samson.
Victoria: Some time Captain must take tough decisions to protect his crew.
/ Then Victoria leaves and heads downstairs. After a moment, you follow her. And find her leans against the rail with the bottle of rum in her hand. As you approach, you hear her sing.
Chris: Wow, Captain. What a nice voice.
/ Victoria turns and sees you then sighs.
Victoria: It the mood of a pirate, love.
/ You approach and stand next to her
Chris: Is it always like this?
Victoria: No, before we were the happiest and talented crew.
Chris: was? What change?
Victoria: Since I give Samson the title of Quartermaster. It has gone to his head.
Chris: He wants more. Doesn't he?
Victoria: Something like that, yes.
/ Victoria takes a long sip and offers the bottle to you. You take it. She scans you.
Victoria: What part of Luxamina are you from, honey?
Chris: The North.
Victoria: Does everyone there talk like you?
/ You shake your head. Then you both look elsewhere in the ocean until Victoria breaks the silence
Victoria: Am I the good Captain?
Chris: You can't ask me that.
Victoria: well, to bad love cause I want your opinion now.
Chris: Okay, let me resume. You kidnapped us, you are riding us to our death and you almost killed me. I'm gonna say you are a hell of a captain.
/ You both laugh. Then...
Victoria: you may be right. I was cruel to him early.
Chris: No, to me he is an asshole.
Victoria: He is not always like that you know. He is a sweetheart most of the time.
/ She takes a long sip then whispers to herself.
Victoria: The treasure
Chris: What?
Victoria: The thing I want you to steal it will ride us to a treasure.
Chris: What kind of treasure
Victoria: well, that is the question, everyone is asking.
Chris: Which means you don't know what kind of treasure you are following.
Victoria: Not just that. I also don't know where is that treasure. But we are pirates. We live in an adventure.
/ Victoria takes another sip then puts the bottle back in her jacket pocket. She leans close to you.
Victoria: You are something else, Darling. Are you really a Luxamy.
Chris: well...uhh...wait
/ She laughs...
Victoria: I was teasing you love. But thanks for listening to me.
/ She heads to her room and you head to yours.
In the morning. Mal shouts.
Mal: LAND O!! We have arrived.
/ Everyone goes out of their rooms and sees Craxbort in distance. Vlad Cogred turns to looks at the princess.
Vlad Cogred: Here we are. Let hope they don't recognize us.
The princess shivers. You turn to Victoria.
Chris: What happens to Prince Haruna?
Samson: What?
Chris: The prince of Luxamy?
Mal: We know who Prince Haruna is
Chris: He was with us. He was standing guard.
/ The pirates look at each other suspiciously then they all laugh at the same time except Victoria. She just stands there.
Chris: What are you all laughing about
Victoria: Are you sure?
Chris: Of course, we are sure.
/ When you turn, you see everyone's eyes looking down.
Chris: Guys, you saw him too right?
/ But no one responds at you until Victoria takes his sword and points it at your friends.
Samson: What are you doing?
Victoria: I believe what he says but them no.
Willy: I don't know what to say.
Chris: why not start from the beginning.
Jasper: Hey, watch your mouth, Servant.
/ Victoria puts his sword on Jasper's throat
Victoria: what about you watch yours.
Princess: That enough!
/ She screams and everyone cools down.
Princess: Chris is right. We saw Prince Haruna.
/ The pirates gasp.
Octavia: really?
Vlad Cogred: We don't even know if it was him
Aria: What?
Silyart: He is right. What if it was something pretending to be him so it can trick us
Chris: But it was him I felt it.
Willy: Maybe, it was a beast or a monster
Aria: They can't do that.
Edward: What about a witch?
Aria: I don't know but it can be.
/ Everyone goes silent. Victoria puts his sword in the holder then step in front of you.
Victoria: They are right.
Chris: It can not be. I felt him. It was him for sure
Victoria: Do you even know how we found you? I saw three fire arrows shoot in the air. We followed them and find you.
Vlad Cogred: you see Chris if it was him he would never put Katharina or us in danger.
Chris: So, what now?
/ You all look at Victoria.

How are they going to steal the mysterious key? And what will happen between Prince Silyart and the Queen of Craxbort? Find all of that in the next Chapter.
