“But you drew your sword?” Lou asked.

“I never carried a sword. I was a sailor – I mended the sails and steered the ship, I scrubbed the decks and loaded supplies. I wasn’t a fighter.”

“But you beat Captain Hawkins?”

“He rushed at me. His arm was raised high in the air. He thought I would run away. Instead, I ran towards him. I grabbed his sword arm. And twisted it. He was a strong man, but his fine leather boots skidded on the deck and he fell… on his sword. I still hear his cry in my nightmares. He dropped to his knees. His eyes grew cloudy. He tried to pluck the sword from his side, but his hands were shaking too much.”

“And he died,” Lou said.

Red-legs shook his head. “The next thing I remember, the crew were cheering. They threw Hawkins’ body over the side and raised me up on their shoulders. Then they told me I was their new captain.”
