Part 1

Leon woke to his children climbing in his bed with him and his wife, Mira. "Hey Dad! There's someone outside, I think they might be looking for you!" Leon opened his eyes slowly to see a worried look on their face. "Looking for me?" He said groggily, looking around the dark room. Over his children's voices he could hear a hum of a propeller or a group of them it sounded like. He slipped out of bed, careful not to wake his wife who surprisingly was still asleep and slipped on his robe, tying it tight and stepped outside telling his two children to stay indoors. As he turned he saw a gigantic shadow completely covering his home. He turned to see a huge airship, he hadn't seen one of those since his days as an airship pirate, in a way he kind of missed the adventures he had. He was approached by a man that looked familiar to him but his appearance changed drastically, This man had a black leather trench coat that flowed behind him as he walked. Black steel-toe combat boots, and shirt and pants that looked tailor fitted. The man was no longer the filthy cabin boy he remembered. His hands brushed against the hilt of his cutlass as he climbed the stairs up to Leon. "Are you Captain Leon Embermane?" He asked, his voice serious, not his usual humor Leon was accustomed to hearing. "Yeah, but I haven't been called captain for a while." He said rubbing his eyes. "Remember Raelix I quit being a pirate along time ago, my family is priority now." Leon said looking back to his house seeing his two children peeking out the window. "No one quits being a pirate, captain. Once an airship pirate always an airship pirate. And it's captain Raelix now." The man said with authority. Leon chuckled in response. "Well good for you, I see you have your own ship and crew now. That's quite impressive." Raelix smiled slightly as Leon looked over his ship. "So what's this about? I was sleeping until I was so rudely interruped." Raelix looked at him with a disappointed frown. "So you don't want to hear about your best friend?" Leon looked at him with shocked eyes. "Vince!? " He asked. Raelix nodded. "He went missing." Leon looked at him, shaking his head. "Still looking looking for the one treasure that eluded us no doubt." Raelix nodded in agreement. So what do you need me for? I have a family now, a wife, and kids. I'm not the same man I was back in the day." Raelix smiled a bit more this time. "Perhaps not but I came all this way to ask for your help, I even brought you a present." Raelix motioned toward the sky as an airship descended from the clouds, stopping parrelel to Leon's cliffside home. Leon gasped as his eyes widened in both shock and excitement. "The Celestial Dawn!?" He said with a shocked voice. To be continued....
