1 Dark Comes after Ligh (2/2)

He cried until the sleepiness got the better of him, and he fell asleep.

Midnight

BOOM

A massive explosion could be heard from the middle part of the ship. He woke up and ran outside his cabin barefooted. Several sailors were on stand by on the cannon of the ship. They loaded the cannonball and put some gunpowder inside of it and fired it.

He continued to run, and he saw a hole in the hull of the ship. It penetrates so far that the cannon hit his parent's cabin. In a panic, he ran to his parent's cabin to find that a blood pool had been formed in their room.

In shock, he shook his parents and used a healing spell on their body, but to no luck, nothing happened. His parents were laying down in the bed full of blood and the fragments from the cannon. With bloody hands, he closed their eyes with a tear that was falling down from his eyes.

Still barefooted, he ran in desperation to the captain's cabin. He opened the door and such luck that he found the captain. Full of blood and a knife was stabbed into his heart. He tried to wake the captain up and used a healing spell on him, but the same case as his parents, nothing happened.

”FUCK,” he shouted as he grabbed the captain's sword and left the captain's cabin with a sword on his left hand.

He got out of the captain's quarter, and he found several people that looks aggressive. They were holding a flintlock pistol, blunderbuss, and their boss on top of all was dual-wielding a rapier. Their boss slaughtered every guard that was guarding the ship with his rapier. When someone with a musket tried to shoot him, he grabbed one of the guards and used him as a meatshield.

His goons had far worse skill than him, but that didn't matter since he was coming to Lawrence. Lawrence's hands trembled when he was facing that pirate's boss that was wearing a hood on his head.

He swung his sword at the boss's direction, but he parried it with his rapier and kicked him in the nuts. He dropped his sword in pain, and the boss bashed his head to the railings of the ship and threw him to the open ocean.

He tried to swim back to the ship, but the moment he decided to, the ship exploded and leaving him and the pirate's ship as the only survivor. The pirates used him as target practice, and he swam away as far as he can. He knew that he will die, but he didn't know when. He swam further and further from the sinking ship.

At one point, he reached an island. An island in the middle of nowhere that had no inhabitants at all. He looked for a place to sleep, but he didn't find any. He walked around the beach with a dull sensation on his left foot.
