Dion was in his quarters reading over the letter he had received from the daughter of Edward Teach. Widely known as Blackbeard, though he had always known him as Captain Teach ever since he met him when he was a small boy and he had fed him when he was in a stockade in Normandy awaiting trial. He had escaped of course but had met him years later when he was a pirate. Dion's reminiscing was interrupted when one of his crew men opened his door and said, "Captain, we will be arriving to Blackbeard's island within the hour, sir" Without looking up form the letter, Dion drew one of his pistols and shot the man right between the eyes, never looking away from the letter. He re-holstered one of his six trophy pistols from the six high born french admirals and said in a very calm tone. "Thank you Mr.Pop, but it is customary that you knock before entering the room of your Captain. Be sure to remember that when you run messages for Satan." He placed the letter down, stood up, walked over the corpse and left his quarters.

The wind greeted him with a fine Bonjour. The sun was half way down the sky and the ocean was as blue as ever. He strolled around the deck of the Loup Garou, making sure all of his men were doing there duties. He saw two of his men scrubbing the deck and he called for them. "You two, come." The two got up as quickly as they could and ran over to him. "Bonjour mon Capitaine! What can we do for you?" they said in unison. "Mr. Pop is bleeding all over my quarters. Remove him from the ship and scrub the floors. If they are not spotless by the time we arrive at the island, I will stab you both through your left hands." He said in a calm serious voice, his intense golden eyes focused on them. "Are we clear?""Oui, mon Capitaine!"they said again in unison, knowing that their captain never made a threat he could not perform. "Bon, now off with you." The two ran past him and up into his quarters.

Dion walked to the stern of the ship up to the helm. He then turned to look to where the island was. "Land, Ho!" the man in the crows nest called. They had found the island of Blackbeard.
