"Okay we were trying to rob your island as you know." he bit his bottom lip in shame before he continued. "Captain Teach decided the best way to do this would be to have the cabin boy." he pointed to himself. "Marry the loveless Princess. That way the whole island would be distracted long enough for him and his sister to get in and take the treasure then take me back and escape silently." he sighed. "I'm not sure why he took you but if it was me I wouldn't put you through any more Hell than you've gone through already." Luke said sounding sincere.
Molly gave a quick smile. âWell at least you arenât proud of kidnapping like that pheasant headed captain of yours.â She looked off to the side and realized that the ship had already begun to move. She felt panicked. âOh no, weâre moving now! Iâve got to get out of here! Luke Please let me out!â Molly stood gripping the metal bars of the cell. Her eyes began to tear up.
Phillip B. Gottschalk
As Phillip sang in a strong voice that echoed through the ocean tide it alerted the attention of his Mer brothers. They were rouge mermen that Phillip once lived with in the Caribbean. There were four of them that Phillip would call his brothers and they were the ones who rescued him from his captors that brought him from the Baltic Sea. They would spend their days carefree in the waters surrounding the islands causing much mischief and trouble. They would sing and lure ships into rocky areas of the sea, killing sailors and pirates alike. They would attack boats and drown humans for the fun of it. Phillip had lived with them for several years until he grew tired of such a rouge life and moved to Priodas. However they still remained brothers and would always beckon to their brotherâs call.
The four mermen lounged around carelessly at the Mermaidâs Lagoon which was not far from Priodas. They could hear Phillips song being sung passionately. They knew he was in need of their help. âYou hear that boys? Itâs Phillip!!â Noel shouted. He was a pale Caucasian Merman with dark short cropped hair and a long black tail and fins. He looked to the others as he was half submerged in the water of the lagoon.
âGood ole Gottschalk!? I knew he couldnât stay away for too long! Heâd miss me too much.â Kaioh said in a cheery manner. He was a pale merman of Asian origin; he also has a slick black tail and fins. He leaped from a lagoon rock and into the water.
âDonât get your hopes up Kaioh. Phillips song sounds like there is trouble about. Letâs go do in whoever is screwing with Philly.â Vincent, a merman of African origin with a beautiful white tail, said in a deep voice. He turned around from the rock he was previously leaning against and dove into the water.
âOh wonderful⊠I was beginning to feel bored. I hope this is really fun I havenât drowned anyone in a whileâŠâ Umio said in a lofty tone. Umio was a Japanese merman from the Sea of Japan. He has somewhat tan skin, mid-cropped hair, and an orange tail and fins. He was initially lounged on a smooth lagoon rock but at the mention of fun he leaped into the waters and swiftly followed his brothers toward the sound of Philipâs song.
Phillip noticed Selena redirect her trajectory. She began to charge madly at the pirate ship. He was confused as to what she was doing. He then faintly smelled the blood of a harpy and his pupils began to dilate. He quickly snapped to his senses and swam further out of the range of the harpy blood. This was what got Selenaâs attention. Phillip began to hear the returning sound of his brotherâs song. They were indeed on the way. Phillip began to smile. He felt more confident now that his friends were in route.
