Chapter Text
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) A [First Mate] whose body was half-starfish saluted a Drowned Captain. He was half-Eel. His name and title was Depth Captain Therrium Sailwinds of the Undersea Crews. And his ship, The Passing Shadow was feared above and under the sea.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) But the cursing was short-lived. Captain Therrium, a man who had three sons, a ship to his name, and quite a lot of gold, was used to risky ventures. He just hated it when they fell through.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Therrium moderated his tone. He sighed. And only then did he hear the muffled obscenities coming from his left. The half-Eel Drowned Man turned his head.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) “Damn you, Therrium! Three weeks it’s been and not a sight of treasure!”
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) “You don’t own the ship until you’ve sunk it, Therrium! We have a right to the sea!”
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Disgruntled, Therrium turned his back and motioned for the [Helmsman] to take the ship away. The other Drowned Ship drifted back as well.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Two ships were following The Emerald Signet. Two that Therrium was aware of, including his own. More than one person had heard Yerranola and Venaz’s careless slip of the tongue about the Titan’s treasure. But it was turning out to be a fruitless endeavor.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Nevertheless…the other [Depth Captain] was pulling back, but she was no doubt making the same calculation Therrium was. Was it worth the risk of following this ship underwater? Spending time and thus, food and coin on a worthless endeavor?
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Therrium held the course. But…it was a funny thing. Wil Kallinad didn’t know it, but more than one person was hoping for his success. And waiting for that moment.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Captain Therrium of The Passing Shadow had seen it all, of course. He’d let the jellyfish attack The Emerald Signet—the [Storm Captain] had the resources to fight it off, even if he was an air-breather.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Therrium growled at his First Mate. She frowned.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Therrium swore. He looked up, sharply.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Captain Therrium saw the six undead vessels surrounding The Emerald Signet from below. And he had been told at least two more vessels floated in the fog.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) His crew was restless. Drowned Men and Women were ready for a fight. They didn’t fear the numbers. Nor did Therrium. He glanced at the other Drowned Ship. If they joined the [Storm Sailors], they’d put a hole in the undead fast enough.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Six ships versus one. Therrium knew that. He spat.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Captain Therrium Sailwinds turned. He snarled.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Light. It burned through the fog. A bright, brilliant yellow light. Like some gigantic lantern. It filtered down through the sea. Captain Therrium shaded his eyes.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) In the deeps, Captain Therrium, listening, slapped his face and groaned. Captain Rasea Zecrew beamed. She was indeed one of the most dangerous [Pirates] on the sea. Famed. Dangerous, unpredictable, and deadly.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Two ships sailed out of the waters around the Kraken’s Pass. Well—four. Therrium was cursing blue streak. He knew Rasea. And her ship spelled trouble.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Underwave, Captain Therrium scowled.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) But then—it happened. As the Illuminary began to turn, as Therrium waited for Wil to hopefully find a treasure. As Wil Kallinad wondered at his luck—someone pointed.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) A vast cloud of sand filled the sky. The mortal [Sailors] and students looked up. Captain Therrium stared up through the water. And the clouds began to coalesce.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 2) Under the sea, two Drowned Ships clashed. Captain Therrium of The Passing Shadow led his crew through the waters. The Drowned Folk swam out of the magical field protecting their ship. Into another pocket of air. They hit the decks, showering water, and locked blades with the enemy crew.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 2) In near-silence. The two ships fought in the dark waters. Therrium, half-Eel, swung his sword with vicious grace. Each time he locked blades with another enemy [Depth Sailor], an electrical current shocked his opponent, running though his enchanted blade.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 2) The fighting was short, fierce, and bitter. But not bloody—at least, not as much as it could have been. The other [Depth Captain] surrendered, presenting her blade to Therrium. The Drowned Man grimaced, counting the wounded; the other ship had surrendered rather than be slaughtered.
