THE PIRATE FIREBEARD AND HIS CURSE ON THE HIGH SEAS/PART IV
Previously...
The corsairs inside Firebeard's ship, attacked each other, while they were in the dark, and it was not until the stars began to appear, that the massacre inside the ship was observed.
There were dismembered bodies, the floor was bloody, and at Firebeard's command with a skin that looked healthy, as if it had never been attacked with painful eruptions, they threw the inert ones overboard.
Firebeard further asked them to maintain their focus, despite all that was happening.
Suddenly the ship changed course, taking the crew by surprise, it was speeding towards the shores of the sea, no one had control of the rudder, and the pirate Firebeard exclaimed to the sky, and cursed the waters, "Captain, I can see another ship approaching ours!
-Captain, I can see another ship approaching ours! But what the hell is this? Are we an easy target for attack," Marrath asked fearfully.
-Are you chickening out? Cursing is nonsense, left and right I'll pay a visit to the whole town," there was nothing to stop the pirate.
Firebeard's ship stopped, a few meters from the shore, so the captain gave the order to go down with his guns, and attack without mercy, Hurting was not enough!
Would it make sense what had been happening inside that ship? Was Firebeard keeping a secret?
Approaching the houses, a dense fog covered them, preventing them from advancing. They stood motionless, staring at each other, without saying a word.
Firebeard shouted at them, "Use your guns, you fools! And he thought that the corsairs were afraid and for that reason did not attack.
Until a mysterious woman walked towards them, extending her arms and welcoming Firebeard. The situation was strange, who was that woman? Why was she being kind to that nefarious captain?
-Honorable Firebeard! This is the town you hate so much, she spoke as if they really knew each other.
-Who are you? You pronounce my name when I don't recognize your face. What are you doing to my corsairs that you prevent them from entering," Firebeard perceived that the woman was just another obstacle.
-Shh, speak no more! I have said nothing, all I know is that your evil is coming! The noble town is guarded, don't try to attack us," the mysterious woman added.
The words that the captain heard did not make him bend, it was a trap and only he could continue on his way. Leaving his corsairs behind, Firebeard tried to follow the woman, who was getting farther and farther away from his presence.
Firebeard, you damned scoundrel! You, a full-blooded pirate or a low-down moron," were the expressions of another pirate who was heading towards the seashore from his ship.
Firebeard turned his gaze towards that voice. It was the pirate Thane, his enemy on the high seas. In the past they had clashed, both had lost many of their men, and Firebeard had stolen one of their ships, causing this one to take revenge at some point.

Previamente...
Los corsarios dentro del barco de Firebeard, se atacaban entre sí, mientras que se encontraban en la oscuridad, y no fue hasta que las estrellas comenzaron a aparecer, se observaron la masacre dentro del barco.
Habían cuerpos desmembrados, el piso ensangrentado, y bajo la orden de Firebeard con una piel que lucía sana, como si nunca hubiese sido atacado con erupciones dolorosas, lanzaron los inertes a la borda.
Firebeard les pidió además que mantuvieran su enfoque, pese a todo lo que estaba ocurriendo.
De pronto el navío cambió de rumbo, tomando por sorpresa a los tripulantes, se dirigía a velocidad hacia las orillas del mar, nadie tenía el control del timón, y el pirata Firebeard exclamaba al cielo, y maldecía a las aguas.
—¡Capitán, puedo ver otro barco acercarse al nuestro! ¿Pero qué demonios es esto? ¿Somos un blanco fácil de ataque?.—Preguntó temeroso Marrath.
—¿Acaso te acobardas? Maldecir son tonterías, a diestra y siniestra les haré una visita a todo el pueblo.—No había nada que detuviera al pirata.
El barco de Firebeard se detuvo, a pocos metros de la orilla, por lo que el capitán dió la orden de bajar con sus armas, y atacar sin piedad, ¡Hurtar no era suficiente!
¿Tendría sentido lo que había estado sucediendo dentro de aquel barco? ¿Firebeard guardaba un secreto?
Aproximándose a las casas, una densa neblina los cubría, impidiendo así que ellos avanzaran. Se quedaron inmóviles, se miraban unos a otros, sin mencionar palabra alguna.
Firebeard les gritaba ¡Usen las armas imbéciles! Y es que él pensó que los corsarios sentían miedo y por esa razón no atacaban.
Hasta que una mujer misteriosa caminaba hacia ellos, extendiendo sus brazos le daba la bienvenida a Firebeard. La situación era extraña, ¿Quién era esa mujer? ¿Porqué era amable con ese nefasto capitán?
—¡Honorable Firebeard! Me da gusto volver a encontrarnos, ¿Este es el pueblo a que tanto odio le tienes?.—Ella hablaba como si realmente se conocieran.
—¿Quién eres tú? Pronuncias mi nombre cuando no reconozco tu rostro ¿Qué le haces a mis corsarios que le impides entrar?.—Firebeard en ese instante tuvo la percepción de que aquella mujer era un obstáculo más.
—¡Shh no hables más! ¡Yo no he dicho nada, lo único que sé es que se avecina tu mal! El noble pueblo es resguardado, ¡No intentes atacarnos!—La misteriosa mujer agregó.
Las palabras que escuchaba el capitán no le hacían doblegar, era una trampa y solo él podía continuar su camino. Dejó a sus corsarios atrás, Firebeard intentó seguir a la mujer, quien se iba alejando cada vez más de su presencia.
—¡Firebeard, maldita sabandija! ¿Tú, pirata de pura cepa o un tarado de pacotilla?.—Fueron expresiones de otro pirata quien desde su barco se dirigía hacia la orilla del mar.
Firebeard volteó su mirada hacia aquella voz. Era el pirata Thane, su enemigo en altamar. En el pasado se enfrentaron, ambos perdieron a muchos de sus hombres, y Firebeard robó uno de sus barcos, haciendo que éste otro cobrara venganza en algún momento.
