“Avast, you slimy slugs. You rat-tailed scallywags,” yelled what could only be the captain of the Dreadful Wellington.

The captain, of course, was a she. Her sword sliced through the air so fast, light couldn’t catch the blade. She saw my shocked face and laughed. The most terrifying laugh I’d ever encountered. And I sail the Sea all the time. That should tell you something.

“You’ll not be threatening the good people of this city!” Isolde yelled, standing on the edge of the bow.

“Isolde, get back here!” cried Lulu.

“Ah, let her go, Lulu. She’s up for a good fight,” said Janie.

“Isolde, NOOOOOOO!” I screamed into the night.

She flashed me a quick smile, then turned away and leaped over into the Dreadful Wellington, brandishing her sword and crying out, “Which one of you cockroaches is first?”

There was fighting everywhere. Pirates were landing on houses, jumping in and stealing, while others ran through the streets setting fire to whatever they found. The smoke soon surrounded me. I couldn’t see where I was going.

It was the most frightened I’d ever been.

The smoke entered my lungs, and I began coughing and coughing. I fell onto the deck of my boat, only to feel something, perhaps an ill-aimed curse, slam into my boat, giving it a hearty shove and sending me spinning far, far away from the fighting.

Far away from Isolde and from Nodnol altogether.
