::::It is a stormy night on the Crescent Island. The Captain of the Blackguard runs up the dark staircase of the Pirate Fort, carrying a torch in hand. With each foot he takes up the stairs, the intensity of his breath increases. He comes knocking on a large wooden door at the top of the stairs. There is no response. He continues pounding on the door desperately with his might.::::
Blackguard Captain: Sir, are you still in?! I bring urgent information! Please sir, we are in a state of emergency.
::::Finally, the Blackguard Captain places his torch upon a rack on the wall. He then runs his shoulder in the door. The door shows to weaken. He does this again. The door now is almost completely off. The Captain then simply kicks down the door. In the Governor chambers at the top of the Pirate Fort, the Blackguard Captain finds Governor Raghnro Diomora standing by a window, facing out. The Governor sees what seems to be bright yellow spots in the distance. He knows this could only be a crowd carrying torches...a mob. There is no expressed pleasure in his face.::::
Raghnro Diomora: So it has happened...
Blackguard Captain: Milord, we must leave at once! The word has spread throughout the land! The pirates bring rebellion toward you! They come now in large numbers and their intentions are unknown...
Raghnro: Ahh...dirty pirates...they will never learn any means of civilization. We come, we deceive their foolish minds...and now we go? What has happened, my friend...
Captain: Milord, there is no time to ponder the current situation! Your safety is my responsible! We must evacuate the castle immedietly! Lord Rathma would surely have me tortured to death if I were to allow any harm to come to you!
:::Ziro leaves the window and paces around the chamber room.:::
Raghnro: Hmm...do you plan to flee and never fight? We were never ones to flee... The Syntex always somehow managed to fight back...
Captain (sighing): No, however, Lord Ziro... I must say the best course of action we can take now is to escape the pirates before they attack us.
:::The sound of voices is now heard. There must be people nearing pirate fort or entering.:::
Captain: And we must go now! They will be entering the castle soon! Retrieve any possessions you can and let's be off!
Raghnro(Ziro?): Very well...I will take what I can.
:::The Governor begins searching through all the possessions he can in the chambers. Some, he sets in a pile, others he places into a chest for his personal keeping. He then grabs the torch outside the door and sets fire to the possessions in a pile. He begins setting fire to many things around this personal chamber of his.:::
Raghnro (gesturing to the chest): You must carry this with me. We will need it and make use of this.
Captain: Very good plan... let's have this done with then. I have a secret escape route to take to exit the pirate fort. I thought we might be trapped in our own fort one day, so I had our previous architect, Orlando, build an escape. Though I never thought we would need to use it to flee from our own men though.
:::The two men carry the chest down the stairs a few steps. Then, the Blackguard Captain stops on the staircase. He begins to knock on the wall. Then, he draws his sword from his back after knocking around on the wall. He shoves it into the wall and begins taking it apart.:::
Captain: You see, Ziro? Though you may have had all the time a man can ask for to plot your actions carefully, you can always make use of comrades- new or old.
Raghnro(Ziro?): I see...rather than having stone in this part of the wall, you had weak wood put in and disguised it...
:::The two men carry the chest through the hole the Captain produced in the wall. They walk through a path this hole leads to. Finally, they come to a window at the end of the castle which faces the sea.:::
Raghnro (dropping the chest to the ground): What now?
:::The Blackguard Captain shoves the chest into the sea with a few kicks.:::
Captain: It should float just long enough. Jump!
:::The Captain pushes the Governor into the water, several fort-levels below. He then jumps in as well. The two men come afloat for deep breaths. They then harmonically dive back in and retrieve the chest. However, Raghnro falls back into the water and the Captain then does not see where he goes. For a good long while he searches the waters around looking for him. Finally, Raghnro dives back up and appears to be just fine.:::
Raghnro: I apologize for the dissapearance. I simply had to take care of some things first.
Captain: Be carefull! I have a boat not too far out from here. We can swim there. I had the ship master Kerith Jordan produce a ship special for emergencies such as this. It can be sailed easily by just the two of us, yet she is not armed.
:::The two men hear the vulgar pirates climbing the stairs of the pirate fort, cursing and shouting for the Governor. They create a mess in their way, destroying things along the trail to nothing.:::
Captain: Let's be off! They may catch on to our escape...
:::The two men swim off into the north with their precious cargo. After not too long, they come accross a boat. They mange to push the chest onto the boat. They proceed by boarding the boat themselves.:::
Captain: Yarr! Ye foolish pirate won't find our whereabouts now! Yer bound to destroy yerselves in time without the right governing!
Raghnro: Hah hah...Aye! Yer all bound to the same fate! Seaslugs!
:::The Blackguard Captain takes the wheel and the men begin to get the boat sailing to the north.:::
Captain: Ahh...I suppose we can cut this foolish act now. I suppose that means you can remove that ridiculous monocle from your eye as well, Ziro.
Raghnro(Ziro?) (removing his monocle): Ahh...yes. Perhaps now I can also get myself some decent garments to clothe myself with. The world shall never see Raghnro Diomora again.
Captain: That is true! No more act for us! Now there is only Ziro Vitrudestec...
Ziro (removing his boots filled with water): That is fact. No more need to hide who we are...perhaps we should seek out Rathma...
Captain: Maybe one day... but untill then, at least we know the king of the lost kingdom of Armageddon, the lord of war and domination no longer has to play the role of another in a world of people who do not even know of him.
:::The two look off into the distance. They then see the shipyard at the north end of the castle, where Ziro swam into after retrieving the chest, burst into explosive flames. They continue sailing to the North..:::
Ziro Vitrudestec: To the north, my friend...where we will greet our old friends...and take our journey from there. And if that does not work, we will continue north,past the Zormite lands and to unexplored lands. We will reign again...sailing to the north...always, to the north...
