[Fan Fiction] Rise of the Glorious Evolution (part 2)
Day 1
Captain Gangplank has boarded all the crew and all the passengers, I didn't realise we were now doing a cruise service to whoever paid us money. But Captain's word is law on this ship, i cannot go against him, at least so long as i wish to keep breathing. Out of the sheer kindness of his heart, and a large cut off the gold, our gracious captain decided to convoy with a bunch of merchant and civilian ships who are also carrying the fearful on deck. The payment for it was grand, well, grand enough to risk going out into a supposed sea of monsters. Our Captain does not fear them and so neither shall his crew.
Day 4
The cadger's are getting restless, saying they are hearing sounds at night that should not be, scared that they are not as safe as they paid us to be. how dare they insult our captain by losing faith in the security and hospitality that he has provided them! I had to go down there myself to talk some sense into the crowd, and when i say that, what i really mean is scare the living daylights out of them, perhaps they will be less scared of what lurks in the depths and more scared of what lurks on board, they seem to have forgotten our trade, a thought they will not forget again. In other news i hear that crab Miss fortune is on board one of the civilian ships, perhaps her way of warning our fearless leader not to try anything dirty, in other news one of the merchant ships hired the protection of Graves. I am sure they paid more than he's worth.
Day 9
Been over a week at sea and were not even halfway there. Been hearing strange murmurings coming from the hold, something unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. The cadger's are also beginning to make noise again, when i went in to investigate i noticed one missing, yet nobody could tell me where he was, some nonsense about a monster taking him into the darkness. Guff, there are no monsters aboard this vessel, not while our captain still mans it! However, the hold is worth investigating.
Day 10
Went down to the hold on Captain's orders with Dale and Jack, seeing what all the fuss is about, perhaps we would find that missing passenger. But there was nothing of the sort, just some strange fish smell mixed with the stench of rot. Dark stains on the ground in the corner, and a voice coming from deeper within. i dared not go deeper, but Jack did.
He didn't come back out, and neither did Dale when he went in to look for him. I ran out I walked calmly out to tell the Captain the news, he wasn't particularly happy with me leaving them to die strategically retreating from the hold.
Day 14
Fog rolled in this morning, can barely see 20 metres in front of us, but we can hear perfectly fine. We can hear the sounds of unworldly monsters moving around in the depths, we can hear the sounds cannon fire coming from the ships around us, but we can't see what they are shooting. Hours on hours of shooting, soon turned into hours of screaming, screaming i did not want to hear, but it echoed into my skull and stayed with me. I can hear them still, cries of help from behind and to the side. One of the civilians begged Gangplank to help the ships, to make the screaming stop. Our kind captain took this man by the throat and threw him overboard. "Now you can't hear the screaming."
Day 16
20 ships entered the fog, 6 ships came out. there is no sign of Miss Fortune, neither of Graves, their ships never left the fog. The populous on board this ship as also reduced. To make matters worse, we found Fizz, or should i say, he found us, he wasn't himself. He was changed, his Bright blue skin turned a deep shade of purple, his eyes red, with the addition of a third eye. His voice, sounded like was the same voices that i heard down in the hold, it was distorted, but clearly his. It was clear who was taking the passengers, and who killed Jack and Dale. i have no idea whether he was part of the slaughter in fog, or if he caused it. He Challenged our captain to a fight, a mistake he will never make again. Gangplank wasn't without injury, he lost his gun arm to some creature summoned by the Trickster, but it wasn't enough to keep him down.
Day 20
I can see the shores of Ionia, but our captain. did not wake up this morning, he isn't waking up again. We gave him a hero's burial at sea, it's what he deserved. That damned fish must have poisoned our captain, and oranges would not remove the blight. He was in pain, the wound where his arm used to be blackened by the dark magics used by Fizz.
Day 21
We made it to the Shores, but, there was nothing left of the town that was there, just devastation, a look that reflected on the emotions of everyone onboard. A search into the ruins showed a letter. "to anyone who has come here seeking sanctuary turn back, there is nothing left here. The ninja Zed attacked Shen at full force, a fight that lasted days, in the end, Zed stood victorious, but the damaged caused to him was great. He was unable to defend himself against the forces of the Void when they attacked. there was too few Champions to defend the people, Kennen, Yasuo and I took who we could. Turn back. ~Varus"
