North America / Kingdom of Yorkania (Crownlands of Manhattan): December 19th, 1517.
It was a beautiful day for the world.The birds were chirping their songs as mankind went about their daily routines with smiles on their faces at beauty of the city, but also sad looks on their faces at the horror of it whether it be financially, emotionally or physically, yet if you were to look closely at a kingdom. To be more specific, Inside of a castle, In a chamber room you can see two luxerious dressed men, one with a serious look on his face, the other with an unreadable one.
The atmosphere extremely tense.
(Charles Habsburg's POV)
"Sir edmund wriothesley, how is your new role…or rather position as ambassador of england been treating you." Asked a very luxerious dressed handsome light skinned man with a diamond shaped clean shaven face, short buzz cut blonde hair, ice blue eyes and 6'0 ripped muscular body.
The chamber was silent
Edmund swallowed his spit a little to loudly and said nervously "Your majesty. I have tried my best."
"Trying and accomplishing are not the same thing sir edmund. The job must be completed and this must be brought to queen morgan's attention before my return to europe." Said charles nonchalantly, his gaze staring out the window at the the ocean that could be viewed from it.
The chamber was silent.The crackling of the fireplace was the only thing heard.
Edmund had a trail of sweat sliding down his face and said with a stutter "B…but your royal majesty. I have tried but she just dismissed me almost Immediately."
"She dismissed him" Thought charles with his eyes squinting and narrowing subtly.
The chamber was silent.
Charles rubbed his clean shaven chin with his right hand for a moment and said nonchalantly "I shall meet her myself then, you may excuse yourself."
Edmund was silent for a moment with a very flabbergasted look on his face and said with a stutter "B…but your maj…"
"See yourself out at once sir edmund." Said charles nonchalantly with both of his arms behind his back as he stared out of the window at the ocean.
Edmund bowed and started taking his leave.
*Boom*
The chamber was silent.
Charles glanced at the door momentarily and went over over to a table full of wine and started pouring himself a glass while thinking "This plan will be successful. It will be, it is for my future conquest."
"Yes….my future conquest." Said charles with a nonchalant whisper like tone as he took a sip of the wine with slanted eyes.
(Lloyd Doward Burttback's POV)
"What a day, what a day Indeed." Said a fat, hairy overweight 5'0 man with a dirty round shaped full bearded face, bald head, dark brown eyes in a black dirty outfit.
The ship was loud and busy.
Men ran back and forth across the wooden deck with ropes in their hands as the cold ocean wind slapped against their faces like an angry woman that just found out her husband had a whore behind the bakery.
"Move faster you useless sacks of pig shit. Do you think the jersey commonwealth pays you to breathe." Said lloyd loudly while scratching his hairy stomach with his left hand.
The ship rocked slightly.
*CREAK*
The wood groaned underneath lloyd's feet.
Lloyd clicked his teeth and looked toward the covered crates tied down near the middle of the ship.
"All this trouble for some old looking box. His majesty better pay me well for this" Thought lloyd while spitting off the side of the ship.
*SPLAT*
^Tak*
Lloyd froze.
*Tak* *Tak*
Lloyd's eyes narrowed and thought while slowly turning his head toward the crates "What the hell was that"
The sailors continued yelling and working.
The wind continued screaming.
The ocean continued beating against the ship.
Lloyd shrugged and pulled out a pipe from his attire with rare tobacco.
*CRRK*
Lloyd's face twisted ugly and Immediately walked toward the crates slowly and seen a cloaked woman crouched beside the largest black iron crate. Her hands were shaking as she tried to force a small blade into the lock.
The crate was covered in thick chains and the mark of the jersey commonwealth burned into the wood.
Lloyd's eyes widened and said loudly with anger at the top of his lungs "HEY."
The woman flinched and looked back at him with wide eyes.
"What in the name of every dirty whore in europe do you think your doing." Said lloyd while stomping towards her.
The sailors nearby stopped and looked over.
The woman stood up quickly and said stutteringly "I…I was only checking if the crate was secure."
The ship wa silent.
"Secure." Asked lloyd with a ugly look on his face as he pointed at the crate with his greasy right hand.
The woman backed up slightly.
Lloyd stepped closer and screamed "THAT CRATE IS NOT TO BE MESSED WITH. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME. IT IS VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT FOR THE JERSEY COMMONWEALTH. IF YOU OPEN THAT THING WITHOUT ORDERS I WILL THROW YOU INTO THE SEA MYSELF."
The deck went silent.
The woman clenched the blade in her hand.
Lloyd looked at the blade.
Then at her.
"Oh. So that is how it is." Said lloyd calmly as his right hand slowly reached for the axe hanging at his waist.
The woman's face paled.
"Captain…" Said a sailor nervously from behind lloyd.
Lloyd did not look away from the woman.
"What." Asked lloyd lowly.
The sailor gulped loudly and said "The water."
The ship went silent.
The ocean around them had stopped moving.
No waves.
No splashes.
No wind.
Nothing.
The ship sat still in the middle of the sea as if the world itself had forgotten how to breathe.
Lloyd's face slowly lost its anger.
"What…" Thought lloyd with widened eyes.
*GROOOOOOAN*
A deep sound came from underneath the ship.
The woman dropped the blade.
*CLANG*
The crate suddenly shook.
*THUMP*
Everyone looked at it.
The chains on the crate shook faintly from the shaking and then died.
Lloyd's mouth went dry.
"Nobody move." Said lloyd hoarsely.
The ship rocked.
Not gently.
Violently.
*BOOOOM*
Men screamed as barrels rolled across the deck.
"GRAB SOMETHING YOU IDIOTS." Said lloyd roaring loudly as he grabbed onto a rope with both of his hands.
The ship tilted hard to the left.
*SPLASH*
A sailor flew over the side and vanished into the dark water.
"MAN OVERBOARD." Said another sailor loudly.
The woman screamed and crawled away from the crate.
The ocean bubbled.
Not like normal water.
Like something enormous was breathing underneath us.
*BLUB* *BLUB* *BLUB*
lloyd stared over the side of the ship.
His heart slammed against his ribs.
Something moved under the water.
Something massive.
Something long.
Something wrong.
"Oh…fuck." Said lloyd whispering.
The water rose.
*BOOOOOM*
A giant black tentacle burst from the ocean with water falling from it like rain from hell.
The deck went silent for one impossible second.
The tentacle was thicker than the mast. covered in scars, barnacles and suckers bigger than a man's head. It lifted high into the air, blocking the pale sky above us.
The woman screamed.
The sailors froze.
Lloyd stared up at it with his mouth open.
"Jersey is not paying me enough for this." Thought lloyd.
The tentacle came down.
"GET DOWN." Said lloyd roaring at the top of his lungs.
*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
…
THE END…
