One sunny day on the Caribbean Sea, floated a Jolly Roger. A crew of pirates were lazing around but the Captain, Victoria who always wore black clothes was counting the treasure they had stolen, there were 175 gems, 2,097 bucks and 1634 coins, but it was never enough. Then she stood on the deck holding up a sword, with her parrots Paul and Perry perched on her head pecking her tricorn, yelling
“Hoist the sails, we’re going to find more treasures!!!”
Everyone stood up in an instant shock all except for Ella because she was used to the captain’s loud shouts and she replied
“Yes cap!”.
“Our next adventure will be at the North Pole!!” Victoria announced.
“But the North Pole has a obstacle maze of icebergs to pass through, it’s fatally dangerous!” Henry murmured.
“Hey Ella,” Victoria grinned, “you remember the legend of The Forbidden Sea?”
“The icebergs wrecked many ships!” squealed Henry, clutching his leg .
“My great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great uncle George was shipwrecked after hitting a humongous iceberg.” Victoria explained, smiling, “And he lost everything except his map! The map tells us where to find the MAGIC SWORD!!!! ”
“The Magic Sword?” Everyone shocked, “ the sword can grant wishes… What if the legend isn’t real???” chimed in Henry.
“I bet it’s going to be exhausting,” Talia groaned.
Ella (Unicorn) played their Strength card “Good instincts” and wrote:
Land Ahoy! “ cried Victoria,”Everyone get off except Henry.” Unforseen, Henry forgot to steer the wheel of the Jolly Roger and he fell asleep on his old hammock. After that, the Jolly Roger started moving. Meanwhile the pirates with the Captain Victoria were in the North Pole and then Ella spotted an enormous iceberg. Suddenly, it started to rain and the crew hurried back to the Jolly Roger, but it wasn’t there. Ella suddenly spotted The Jolly Roger in the distance, with Henry fast asleep on his hammock. She told Captain Victoria. They started to wave madly and shout. Ella was prancing around, when she tripped over something wedged into the ground. She searched the icy ground and found a handle. Ella used her hands to uncover the object a bit more. Soon, Ella could make out a sharp and gleaning blade. It was the magic sword! The whole reason why the crew of The Jolly Roger had come to the North Pole. This was the treasure which had been lying in these icebergs for centuries, hidden and buried. The rest of the crew were hastily called over. The all gasped at the shining blade that rested in the hand of Ella. Then the Captain spoke up,” I think this ought to be Ella’s since she doesn’t yet have a sword and it’s only right that this sword is hers, since it was her Great-Uncle George’s.” The pirates cheered as Ella held up the gleaming blade towards the sun. Then Ella spoke up,” I think that my Great-Uncle George buried the-bit-more-than-just-a-paltry amount like in the legends in this area.” “Well, lets get digging then,” cried Victoria. The pirates looked out expectantly at the edge of the iceberg they were standing on, forgetting that The Jolly Roger had drifted away with Henry. “Oh no!” cried Ella, “Our spades are aboard The Jolly Roger!” The crew groaned. “ How are we to find out whether there is a paltry amount of treasure or not?!”cried the Captain. “Wait, can’t we use our muscular arms and hands instead? There are 6 of us and we could take it in turns,” said Ella. A jovial atmosphere soon spread once again throughout the pirates. They commenced work immediately . Everyone sat down on the icy ground, elated with the amount of work accomplished. Not everyone was so glad though. Victoria, the Captain, had expected dozens of treasure chests, but instead all they had found were just a few rubies in a leather pouch. Ella, being the one who was observant noticed a ship advancing towards them. “It’s Henry, it’s Henry, he’s woken up and he’s come back to save us!” shouted Ella. The rest of the pirates couldn’t believe their ears. They jumped to their feet and checked for themselves. Indeed it was! The pirates leapt with joy. As the ship came near, Ella looked at the name of the boat. It read The Ghostly Galleon. Ella froze. It wasn’t The Jolly Roger. It was Blackbeard’s ship, the most feared pirate who ever set sail on the seven seas. To make matters worse, they had captured Henry…
Ella (Unicorn) drew the Strength card “Good instincts.”
Henry (Bangbang) played their Flaw card “Secretive” and wrote:
Not surprisingly, the entire crew of the Jolly Rogers had gotten captured by the Blackbeard after a fight. They were thrown into a dark dungeon with all hands and feet fastened by thick ropes. In a faint glow of a distance light, they saw Henry lying at the corner, seemed totally losing his consciousness. Ella, being Henry’s confidant, was so glad that Henry was still alive. Besides, she knew there’s a hope for them to escape because of Henry – The sail master always carried a knife with him. Nobody else knew this except her. Moving slowly like a snail, Ella crawled towards Henry to check on him. No one knows how long it passed. The ship finally docked at a beautiful island. Everyone was woken up by the loud noice of the docking. Henry opened his eyes and thought he was in a dream when he saw Captain Victoria, Ella, and all the other crew. Ella was sitting beside him and told him what happened after they got off the Jolly Rogers. “The Blackbeard also plundered our magic sword. We must get it back. Where is your knife?” Ella asked. In the blink of an eye, Henry pulled out a hidden knife from his dirty boots. By now he became fully awake, quickly cutting off everyone’s ropes…
Victoria (Emma) drew the Flaw card “Untrusting.”
Victoria (Emma) played their Flaw card “Arrogant” and the scene’s Setback card, “You’re all exhausted,” and wrote:
“Hooray!” Everyone cried, all except for Victoria who then whispered,
“Shhhhh… we don’t want to let old Blackbeard and his crew to hear. Now, how do we get out?”
All of a sudden, Blackbeard opened the cellar door and sneered “Hey Hey,” everyone froze to the spot. “I see you nasty little rascals are trying to escape, but .. you’ ll…NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Haw haw haw!”
With that, he slammed down the trapdoor and walked to his hammock then fell asleep.
“Well I know a way out,” Henry tensely grumbled, “it just under the…”
“Shut up, Henry!” Victoria broke in, “you such a trouble maker! Let’s tie our ropes onto the door!”
Everyone obeyed, “and then each of us will pull one, until the door opens.”
15 minutes later… the door finally opened, everyone climbed out but Blackbeard was ready for them again. He rushed towards Victoria and grinned not-very-honestly saying, with a sword in his hand, “Here’s your Magic sword!”
“No way!” Victoria frowning, reaching for it.
Suddenly, Blackbeard quick as a flash, drew his sword holding around Victoria’s neck.
“Surrender or die!!” threatened Blackbeard.
They had no choice and surrendered. Leaning on each other, exhausted.
