Pirates? Anyone else a pirate? Come on, be a pirate.

Slowly, the Merfolk appear, led by the Queen and King. Lady Em kneels down to speak softly to them.
"Please a song, to light the way of the archer who has found Queen Susan the Gentle's bow..."

Almost in unison, there is no answer but the hushed whispers of the wind. Then the King bows in answer and slowly more merfolk appear, swimming in a circle, and slowly a very soft, high clear voice begins to sing.
"La da da aaaaaaaa aaaahhhhh..."
Very slowly, they all begin to sing, their arms outstretched as a haunting melody clearly and softly began to rise from the waters by the Narnian stronghold. Pure and sweet the tones rushed with warmth so that it echoed across the waters and through the castle.
Little lights began to appear, ghostly and soft from the tips of the Merfolk's fingers. Slowly it rose into the air, joining into one large ball of brilliant light. Once it was suspended in the air it rose higher still as the merfolk, still singing, began to jump and twirl in the air as it began to move across the night's sky, coming to rest and illuminate the area above the pirate ship and it's lair.
 
As the sun sets upon the blood red waters, a solitary figure, tall with long coils of dark braided hair, tied back by a red bandanna stands silhouetted against the burning light. As the good ship Dead End sinks into a watchful silence, a murmured song from a high young voice rings across the rushing waves: "Yo, ho, Yo, ho, a pirate's life for me....." Good night from The Twilight Terror.
 
Anyway on to me narrative.... Machiathemarshwiggle woke up this morning to the sound of Jack the Monkey dropping a highly expensive golden jar. Muttering something about 'stupid monkeys' under his breath, the Pirate proceeded to get out of bed. Then he happened to notice that he was the only Pirate still asleep in the quarters. Grumbling to himself about no one waking him up and oversleeping, he grabbed his cutlass and headed up to the deck. The wind was blowing harder then yesterday and some clouds had rolled in. "Arrr..." He said "All that wind be good for arr sailing today." Then he noticed the ever itimadating form of teir captian standing near the bow of the ship. Arrrr... the captian had returned... ARRRRRR!!!!!!
 
{A hundred yards behind the pirate ship, four merfolk loiter in the wake. Two have been following all night; the other two are there to relieve them. They wave briefly at the albatross, who is keeping his leisurely station far overhead. A talking seagull swoops down and lands in the water beside them. Pecking at the surface like an ordinary gull, the seabird reports latest developments to the new mermen, and takes the report of the mermaids. Then he flaps off to the knight's castle to update the Queen.}
 
*Boom*Boom*Boom*Boom*
Th Dead End swing round slightly and Cannons fire at the merpeople. meanwhile men on board also try to shoot at the merpeople.
"Arrr.... If there be anything that we Pirates hate it be Merpeople... arrrrr...."
 
{chuckling to themselves, the mermen dive below the water's surface to listen to the cannonballs splash harmlessly into the water. The more mischevious of the two swims up beneath the keel and pounds on it a few times just to spook out the pirates within.}
 
Arrr.... I was just in the Knights thread and was reading Princeofthewest's morning report.... It be very insulting to us Pirates!!!! Ye should go and read it.... I'll copy some of the highlights....
 
As Captain Kickarse drew his cutlass to fight, he saw Jack the monkey leap into the water, only to be snatched away by a mermaid. The captain shook his hook at the merpeople and leapt into the water to sever some watery heads!
 
First, our enemies. These are without a doubt the worst pirates I have ever seen. They made one brief feint toward the harbor yesterday, but we had not fired ten shots befoe they turned tail and ran. The best we could tell, the only damage they sustained was a smashed yard on their mainmast, but that was enough to make them flee. Hardly the most dangerous of foes to this point. Our intelligence about them reveals that they spend most of their time boasting about their bravery and skill (which we have yet to see), snarling at one another, and seizing their own shipmates on false pretenses. We have learned that they have a theme song, which they supposedly learned from one of their "leaders" while dancing around a bonfire on a beach drinking rum. Everything about their behaviour bears out the truth of their song. They have even named their ship - which is nothing more than a three-masted 24-gun light frigate - the Dead End - and they do not even see the irony of this.

Arrr... this be from PrinceOfTheWest's Morning report.... arrrrr....
 
Well yesterday, we tried an attack on the Knights fortress... but failed.... the Knights captured Jack the Monkey and intercepted a map to our island fortress. We found out that Jimmy, who we thought was a Pirate had given them the map and so we kept him hostage...arrrr.... then we headed to our treasure Island to meet up with Jack Sparrow (Who by far was a worse captian..) And we emptied the island of all our treasure... then we were trying to decide what to do with Timmy the Traitor... we decided that we would return to the castle with Timmy the traitor and demand that the knights (While we have our weapons to Timmy's Neck) rreturn Jack the Monkey...
