Quin rounded the corner of a coven her eyes set onto the open sea as her crew was singing some song about a druken sailor she smirked the air whipping her golden hair in a frenzy of whirling wind when out on the horizon she seen it.. the naval officer that had been following her for about 10 years now it was rather sad really she supposed she have to get over the fact the boy never got over her she was quiet something right? Beauty and grace all in one package but fiery as a smolder hot coal... She turned her attention to the crew,"Boys we have a ship up ahead and we know who it be", she laughed,"Lets explain that we can't have him following us lets see if he can catch the mercy maiden", with that they pulled out her full sails as she turned her ship back into the rocky coven allowing the chase to be more interesting...

Christopher was spying through his spy glass rather prudely when he noticed her taking a turn,"Damn...", he commented slowly trying to think of a good way to chase her in such dangerous waters,"She keeps doing this to me.. but at least I have a rat cornered...", he countered turning he walked along the deck as he snapped for an assistant,"See if you can gather me a messenger pigeon.. I need a few more naval ships if her majesty wishes for this intruder to be taken out I think the only logical way is to use brute force she is to sneaky to counter head on", he confirmed they walked back into his captains chamber,"Now let me see...", his assistant took a seat...
20 minutes later after some well written letters a pigeon was sent out to the base town hoping it reached its destination soon he told the boys,"Alright lets set Anchor she can't move anyways..", he informed them as they did as they were commanded.

Captan Jacky as people have come to calling him was standing on deck behind the wheel as his men worked the sails and rigging and those under deck opened the port 12 gun ports and six deck guns got loaded."Full sails mates we are pulling up beside them."He yells over the yells of his crew and once his ship comes up beside the Spanish Galen and both ships unload a full broadside and wood flew as the canon balls made impact but the devil's reach had beater aim and the large mast came crashing down and with that Jacky's men though claws over to the other ship and pulled her closer to board and once it was in range his men jumped aboard and started to cross swords with the other crew and soon the fighting died down and then Jacky came aboard the other captain was tied up along with there other men and his own men have already started to plunder the ships hold."You lot wont get away with this."The first mate spits and Jacky looks over at him and gives him a smile and he walks up to the man and kneels beside him.":Would you rather be dead mate."He then smacks the mans back before he joins his men and soon after the ships hold was cleared out and all of them re boarded the Reach and set off leaving the men tied on the deck of there ship.

Draven was making port in a small island town. He needed to stop for supplies, and he heard of an old legend of some pirate burying his treasure somewhere on the island. They called the island Whale Island. He was going to find out it's secrets even if it took him weeks to do so. "Go out men. Bring back food, drink, and anything else you could desire." He called out to his crew. "Just remember that we don't kill the kiddies. Everything else is fair play!" He called out as he stepped off the ship. "Also I need me some info on old legends of this isle. Anyone who gets the right info will be greatly rewarded for their time." He added before walking towards the town in the distance.

Quin heard her crew men shout,"Captain he is making Anchor!", quin turned her head,"Eh?", she looked back to see his ship set right at the entrance of the coven,"Damn.. that can only mean...", she growled seeing as the chase wouldn't work so well now that he was going to be out of it,"Boys we be having a problem..", she told them driving her ship deeper into the dangerous cove until they were out of the ships sight for now she told them,"Listen.... we are going to have to turn back and attack to get away... he is waiting on reinforcements.. they will be here before next dawn..", she yelled at her crew,"Ready the cannons we are going to have to fight and then fly to a pirate town if we wish to make it out alive boys!", they all shouted in agreement running about the boat

Christopher was enjoying some afternoon tea when a sailor burst through the captains quarters,"Sir she is turning to fight", the man produced a small chuckled before informing the sailor,"How fortunate lets see how her puny ship does against the queens naval vessel hmm?", he smiled as the man nodded and raced out to inform the crew they were preparing for battle. Christopher doned his captains hat on this time and took out his sword and gun.. if it was a war she wanted it was a war she was going to get... And he was going to win this time.

The Devils Reach was making good headway as they cough a good wind and as the men started to sing and Jacky joined them as the ship moved swiftly across the water for its size and soon after a few more songs one of the men in the crows nest yells out."Masts on the port side captain shes flying queens colors but it looks like she hasn't seen us."Jacky looks over and grins."let her be boys we have a hold full that needs spending her sails are reffed she would never catch up to us like that."He says but regardless he turns to wheel to starboard to give them a bigger birth.

Draven's men rushed passed him on their way to town. He calmly made his way to town and started looking through some books. He was reading an old newspaper when he heard the whispers of some of the townsfolk. "A massive navel Galilean was spotted sailing after a pirate ship earlier today. They say it's still close by. I don't think they could ever catch that smaller ship though it was way too fast." Said some of the people drinking at a pub. Draven was surprised that his men seemed to be taking a more stealthy way of procuring the supplies. He smiled. A navel ship was bound to have some pretty good stuff on it. He walked over to the guys who were talking. "Which way was the navel ship spotted going?" He asked them. The men pointed in north. Draven nodded and thanked the men. "Alright listen up men! Get the rest of what you need and get back to the ship. We have to go pay a visit to the navy!" He called out as he made his way back to his ship.

Quin kept herself steady as they approached the ship Christopher had been chasing her since the boy could get a damn ship and refused to let up on it,"Didn't think humans were so petty..", she concluded, as they approached her she spotted another pirate ship in the distance,"Captain! Its the Devil's reach!", they shouted as quin pierced her eyes against the setting sun and frowned,"So it seems", she thought quickly,"If we are lucky boys he will help us out abit but I suppose we have to drag him into it..", she smirked,"Hurry lets go!", they were nearing the naval vessel so close in fact that Christophers guns were ready,"If it isn't the prince of justice himself!", yelled quin embarking in a loud chuckle,"Can't be having me as your wife so I guess i'm your enemy now hmm?", she grinned,"Your a nave", she then pulled her sword with her other hand and shouted,"Fire!!", the cannons went off into a round.

Christopher blinked as he heard someone shouting on deck he quickly ascended to the wheel and found her screaming at him about being an idiot,"Oh foolish woman I'll have you hanged..", he yelled back before a blast of gun fire and he quickly ducked as the spiltering wood flew,"MEN FIRE", he yelled above the blast as their gun tore into the maiden mercy just as harmfully the problem with Quin's ship was she was fast but did not have alot of fire power,"You won't last a 3rd round..", he grinned.

Quin found her predicament at such and knew what to do she had her ship swing in close beside the devil's reach she smirked this was perfect he hit the Devil's ship and they would have to fight with them and the naval vessel wouldn't hold up anymore after a few rounds and this would mean he would have to retreat if he made it out alive. Joy lit her eyes as she hide on the opposing side of the ship,"Good Evening boys", she shouted over to the opposite ship,"Mind if a lady be passing!", her sails were in full swing now and she was gliding pretty fast.

The navy vessel were about to turn a second round of fire when he halted them,'No boys! Two pirate ships and we will be done for thats no ordinary one..", he thought quickly she would probably reply in the next pirate town and if he left now..'Retreat! We will make our way out now!", the others agreed fire cannon ready they did this for assurance as they all prepared the sails for a quick retreat.

Jacky was at the helm of his ship when he heard canon fire and he turns around in time to see a few rounds land hard into the aft of his ship and he growls as the ship it was fireing at came along side his."You damned elf are you not right in the head."He yells as his men ready the 12 canons and he starts to come about and all 12 of his deck guns now had clear line on the naval ship and with a scowl he yelled out."All guns fire send them right to the locker."As the order left his lips all 12 gun opened up some missing and some landing clean shots on the ships stern and aft,it was clear he wasn't trying to sink her as all shots landed above the water line but the aim was to cripple her.

Draven set sail quickly, and made excellent timing with the wind helping him. Soon he heard cannon fire in the distance. "Captain there be three ships dead ahead. Two pirate and one navy!" The scout in the crows nest shouted down. "Can ye see which pirate ships they be boy?" He yelled up to the guy. "It look like The Devil's Reach, and I think the one beside it is The Maiden Mercy Captain!" The boy called out. "Ah so The Reach is out in these parts again eh? What of that other one? I don't recall no Maiden Mercy." He said to those around him. He shook his head and got back to the task at hand. "Prepare the two forward cannons for firing!" He ordered. "I want that navel ship crippled with the first shot you hear me?" He bellowed a chorus of aye aye captain could be heard from the entire ship as they got ready to fire their cannons.

Quin blinked slowly as she finally seen the captain of the Devil's Reach,"Oh how cute a kitty...", she cooed winking at him,"I'll be calling you later My roaring tiger", she waved smartly at the pissed off captain and headed past his ship rather quickly into the open sea snickering.

Christopher found himself quickly outnumbered as it seemed they had hit the pirate vessel either way,"Turn back to the cove!!", he yelled to his men,"We will have to lose him in the coven! and hope that our ship makes it throught he rough rocks", he turned back to see another ship on the horizon,"We only have to wait til dawn.. we will have reinforcements then...", he knew they wouldn't be able to outrun and if worse came to worse him and his men could make it on the rocks until dawn of the next day.. it was a rocky terrain but it would be that or the sea to float in if they were chased.

Jacky was pissed and it took a lot to get him pissed as his crew knew that damn elf was going to pay for every peace of wood that this ship was going to need replaced ."FULL SAILS BOYS I AM GOING TO HANG THIS SHIPS CAPTAIN BY HIS JIMMY."He yells and the starboard side guns roll out of the gun ports as he starts to catch up."All hands prepare to fire aim for the masts,ready FIRE."His Gunnery says and all the starboard 18 inch canon's open up.

Draven laughed as he saw the Devil's Reach fire at the navel ship. "We're turning around men. We're not needed here, and frankly I don't like the looks of this. Navel officers usually don't travel alone." He told them. "Set sail east. We're headed for the mountains over that way." He told his navigator. He went to his chambers to look over a few things. He had info on every pirate ship on the ocean. He needed to know what this Maiden Mercy could do.
