Captain Aiden Blackwood: points to the scale model "Remember her? The Stormbringer. Lost, like my rep."
smirks "Yeah, I was quite the hotshot back in my day. But sometimes, pride goes before a fall."
how did you lose her Captain?
leans in closer "It was a storm, kid. The fiercest one I've ever seen.
laughs sarcastically Handle it? I was born to handle storms, kid. But this one...this one was different.
pauses, looking at the model This storm...it came out of nowhere, like a fucking ghost. It tore through the sails, ripped the rudder, and swallowed our best men.
oh shit, sounds horrible…
clenches his fists Horrible? No, kid. It was a fucking nightmare. We were caught off guard, like mice trapped in a trap.
but what happened to the crew?
pauses, his eyes misty "The crew...well, most of them went down with the ship.
damn, do you still have some of the crew alive?
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder "No, kid. They're all gone. Gone with the ship.
sighs deeply "I appreciate the sentiment, kid, but sorry won't bring them back.
The loss of the Stormbringer and its crew weighs heavily on Captain Blackwood's mind, haunting his memories for years to come.
i put a hand on his shoulder its okay…
looks down at Stranger's hand on his shoulder Thanks, kid. It means a lot.
I give him a soft smile I hope you find peace, Captain.
Peace? That's a four-letter word, kid. Ain't no peace for someone like me. But...maybe...just maybe...a bit of understanding.
