Chapter Text
The Depthless Doctor But today, the arguments between the [Captain] and [First Mate] of the ship came perilously close to breaking that rule. The two sometimes [Sailors] and sometimes [Pirates] strode along the broad deck of the ship, talking in hushed voices.
The Depthless Doctor Some might have seen the [Captain]’s tendril-like arms as a weakness, but the poison contained in the [Captain]’s body made up for any defects in appearance. He could paralyze a whale with a touch and his body could heal from wounds that would cripple normal flesh. Now he was staring with no little ire at his [First Mate].
Interlude – Chess and Ships The [First Mate] of the Drowned Ship was half-starfish. She had survived a half-beheading, and regrown her limbs more than once. It was true that Captain Lasc was a good [Storm Captain] and his crew was hardy. But every Drowned Folk on this ship had sunken at least eight ships before.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) They saw a [Storm Sailor] glaring at them. One of many on the ship. They had names. Personalities. Some of them were probably people. But they didn’t make a point of getting to know Wil and his friends. Wil was familiar with the [First Mate], Delivan, and Captain Lasc, but all the others were a blur of ‘don’t touch that’, or ‘captain’s orders’, or ‘you’re in the way’ to him.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) It was mainly friendship that made her speak. The others shook their heads. Slowly, Wil, the [First Mate] and the Selphid walked off.
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) Captain Lasc and his [First Mate], Delivan, chortled. They were having a cordial drink with some of the [Strategists] and Lasc had lent the students his cabin. Actually—they were having a miniature lesson there.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) The [First Mate] looked calmly at Wil. So calmly, the young [Lord] calmed.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) The [First Mate] was looking worried. But Lasc was glancing around.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) The [First Mate] gritted his teeth. He had a navigation Skill that helped him see underneath the boat. He moved them forwards slowly, adjusting the ship, swearing at the changing wind. Wil stared at the precipice of rock.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) The [First Mate] was turning the ship. The crab followed as The Emerald Signet shot away. The crew was cheering, aiming, waiting for the thing to get onto land. The crab was obliging them, climbing onto rock precipices after the ship.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) The [First Mate] nodded. He was armed. Captain Lasc turned his head.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) Lasc turned to Delivan. The [First Mate] shook his head.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) His [First Mate] looked at him.
Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 1) He gestured at the other Drowned Ship. The [First Mate] grinned. Slowly, the Drowned Ship began to move. Air was conjured, negating the effects of the ballast. The ship was preparing to rise suddenly.
