| Kynoto and the others arrived on Solomon Island near mid-day. They setup camp and went looking for food in the forest. They didn�t find much though. Kynoto found some edible plants. Rouin managed to find some dead animals but not much else. Triasha found and killed an obsidian monster, but this one was different. It had five Trianchu stones in it and he had never heard of such a thing. Knifes was left in the care of Kynoto and did not find anything. They had enough for a small meal, but not much else. They decided to set out in search of the captain in the morning. They spent the rest of the night discussing the obsidian monster Triasha killed and what it could mean.
The next day they set out to search for there pirates friends home. They found some remains of what looked like they belonged to some foreign creature that none of them knew what it was. �I see you found my handy work.� said a gruff voice from behind the four, causing them to jump forwards in surprise, and causing Triasha to land and crush the creatures� bones to dust. The quartet turned around to see a one-eyed man, roughly 101 years of age with white hair sticking out of his captains� hat. He only stood about 5� 2�, but his stature did not show his sheer will to live and to command a ship. He was the worst, or best from a pirate�s view, seadog that had ever sailed the two seas. He had a horrible reputation for plundering and slaying any who dared cross him. He had been in command of two different ships in his whole career. The one he was most fond of was the Duran, which had been used for the lumber for the house he had built. Then there was his pervious ship The Demon Salvation. He commanded this ship as a wraith that could and would not be silenced. Even the best naval officer could not compare by far to his reign of terror that he wreaked upon the world using that ship as his vital interment of destruction. Then when he thought he was going to conquer the world in a single foul swoop of his cutlass, his crew started to call for mutiny. He was then forced to kill his entire crew, which included all of his siblings, wife, and son. He then was shipwrecked on an island until he was picked up by The Duran. That brings us to present day on the Island of Solomon where the crew of the Duran faced a grueling fate of termination by the Obsidian monsters. Again the house the captain built was of the ship he had previously commanded. �Hey Kynoto you old devil you! How are ya?� he shouted joyously. �Not bad. And you, you old Scallywag you, how are you doing? replied Kynoto, his voice bearing the same tone as the old pirate. The pirate replied with a single word, �Old.� �Well you should. 101 years old, and I still can�t believe you are walking. You really are�� Kynoto had his sentence finished for him. �Stupid. You know what I did Kynoto, I brought a deadly type of spider on my boat with me and when I settled in it drifted off in to the jungle. You know what kind of spider it was; it was a shfolosis kalitosis arcakanesis. You know the species I am talking about. There bodies are twice the size of a normal spider, they have indo and exo skeletons, there poison is so strong that one bite could potentially kill 10 elephants in 2 minutes, they have eight eyes, and thirteen legs. They are the super arachnids, the predators of spiders, insects, and humans, the mighty Monolithius. Triasha had done all of us a favor when he jumped on the skeleton because it was a hybrid of that spider. This is where I was stupid. I let the spider go and it mated with an animal that only lives here. The pirates call it the living skeleton because of the fact that it�s skeleton is on the outside of its body. The resulting creature had an indo and exo skeleton and as both are vital they are super strong when they are a sleep, for protection. The don�t need protection when they are awake. They can blend in with the surroundings. It also has increased survival strategies. It s the ultimate predator. Its venoms� potency has doubled and its fangs now have the ability to spit out poisonous barbs, as well as having grown from half an inch to about a meter long. They can, if they must, cover five leagues in a day. It can swim, burrow, and run. It has not the ability to fly and or that I am thankful. Now that they have appeared all I do all day is to chase them around and kill them so they can�t leave this island and infect the other islands in this part of the ocean.� he informed them. �So what brings to these parts?� Captain Xilot asked them. Kynoto told him the whole story. After he had finished he replied in great astonishment, �So this here boy is stronger than all of you combined, his power can control his body, and Wantene is trying to kill him because he views Knifes as a threat. Many things are happening outside of this island that I have no idea of. Then Kynoto told him of the prophecies and Xilot nearly fainted to be as blessed a he was to be in a prophecy of old. �Sadly I don�t know of any warrior that had powers like you before I meet you.� Xilot replied sheepishly. Then he thought about the prophecy for a while then about the question he was asked of. Then all of a sudden he gave a shout of surprise. He jumped up and grabbed his musket and shot the Monolithious that had just bitten him. He immediately felt the poison flow through his veins, chilling his blood, and turning his skin ice cold. He had barely enough breath to mutter some words. �I �do�know..who you are talking about. His name is fletur��� with his last dieing breath he had gone. |
