(I suppose so. :P)

"No, it's defintely not the Dread or Iceborn Pirates." Shav yelled down when he heard Ash's comment. The ship was vastly different from the ones those crews used. It was larger than both combined and was of a completely different style. "Though I still can't exactly make out the flag." And just what in Mephala's name is that darkness around their ship? He wondered.

It took the enemy ship getting another kilometer closer before Shav could make out enough detail on the flag to recognize it. When he did...he wished he hadn't seen that infamous jolly roger.

"No...." He wiped his eye his the back of his hand and shook his head, then took another look. "...it can't be! The Abecean Pirates....no no no no. That's not possible, they were wiped out centuries ago. It must be a copycat crew. It has to be that! There is no way they are the real deal!"

Shav was knowledgeable about pirates, but any sailor worth his salt knew about the Abecean Pirates. They were an old myth, a ghost story told to scare green boys. Though the tale was rooted in truth. From the 2nd Era to the early 3rd Era the Abecean Pirates were the scourge of the seas and their leader claimed the title of Pirate King. It was only when their captain vanished suddenly that the Empire was able to wipe out the rest of the crew. Their Captain's name was Velehk Sain and men feared even uttering it, because blood on the water always followed him.

"Shav, what's the matter?" Alesan yelled when he heard the Dunmer's ramblings. "Did you identify the crew?"

The First Mate didn't reply. His throat was dry with fear. He looked at the ship once more and examined the darkened water around it. "Blood on the water...Azura save us." he prayed.
