She Sets Sail Again

All my friends are dead and gone
I'll join them soon, it won't be long
Whether lost at sea or far ashore
To the ocean return forevermore
We're down, downed and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found...
Down, downed and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found...
Down, downed and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found...
Down, downed and drowned
Downed and drowned and never found...

“Captain, what’s the adventurer doin’ here still?”

You smile at the pirate, noting he was the one organizing everything and would probably make a great quartermaster once you were all ready to set sail again. “Well… What did you choose for a name?”

“Jonas Rattler, sir.”

“Well Jonas, turns out the lass is interested in what we are planning on doing here. Wants ta see if we actually manage to make good on our ideas and become actual pirates. And she said if we manage to succeed, she’ll join the crew. And you and I both know how good it would be to have a spellcaster on deck.”

He gives a small nod before leaning to the side to look at her. Currently she was looking over the ship while trying to stay out of the way of the other pirates. He then gives you a smile and a bit of a wink. “Plus she’s certainly something to look at, Captain.”

You give him a short laugh and a slap on the back. “That she is! And frankly, I could use her as something to look at when I get tired of your ugly mugs.” The two of you laugh before turning to look at the supplies. “So, what have we got here, Jonas?”

“A decent amount of stuff. Some cannons, though they are quite dirty and will really need to be cleaned. Some sealed boxes with sails in them, wood of all kinds to patch up the ship, and even a figurehead that a couple of the boys managed to pull from another ship.” He points to the item in question, a sculpture of a busty mermaid holding what looked to be a skull in one hand and a sword in the other.

“Brutal and sexy. I like it.” You say with a smile before a tap on the shoulder steals your attention. Turning around you come across another one of your crew, this one being a rather large drowned with a patch over one eye and no shirt to hide the many scars across his chest.

“Captain.” He says in a low growl.

“Yes…?”

“Pete. Salty Pete.” He says, almost grunting out his words. “I talk to th’ fish.”

“Yeeeah I bet you do.” You say, a bit off-put by his shortness with words. “Did they enjoy the adventurer?”

He nods. “They said they ain’t eaten that good in months. Wanna know if you plan on feedin em more.”

You are about to say that you didn’t plan on it, but then think about it. What if a team of adventures tried to swim up under your ship and sabotage it? Or board when you were all tired from battle and killed you? You would have to protect the bottom of your ship somehow, and to be honest you were impressed by how quick those little buggers manage to turn that adventurer from fighter to skeleton. You smile at Salty Pete and nod. “Actually, if you could be so kind, would you talk to the fish for me? I have a proposition for them.”

He grunts and nods, before turning around and giving out a sharp whistle. Instantly the two swarms from earlier, as well as another swarm of snappers swim by. The other drowned do seem a bit spooked but keep working. Meanwhile Anna just gives a yell of surprise and dives into the hull of the ship, hiding behind the main mast.

“Can they understand me?”

Pete gives you a small nod. “I’ll translate what they say.”

“Fantastic.” You say before addressing the fish. “Well, so glad to see you guys are eager to sink your fangs into another adventurer, and I think I have a proposition that will be for both of our-”

Pete puts a hand on your shoulder, interrupting your monologue. “They want to know if she’s next to be eaten.”

“I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!” Anna yells.

“She’s not.” You affirm.

He nods and looks back to the fish. You honestly have no idea how he is understanding them, but after a moment he turns back to you. “Then what’s your deal?”

“Glad you asked.” You turn back to the fish. “See, I plan to raise this ship and sail the seas again like a proper pirate. And as a proper pirate, I am going to be fighting loads of adventures and making plenty of them walking the plank. And it just so happens that I would love to have a few swarms of fish keeping the water around my ship safe and clean of adventurer gunk. Savvy?”

The fish look at you, Pete, the ship, and each other before Pete looks back at you. “They’re in.”

“Fantastic.” You say with a nod. “Then once we get this ship up above water, your jobs will be to just patrol the ship and make sure no adventures manage to sneak onboard. As payment, any adventures that go overboard that we didn’t tell you not to eat are all yours.” You point back at Anna. “She is to expressly not be eaten. Even if she falls overboard.”

“They understand.” Pete says, and as he does the swarms disperse to swim around the work area but stay out of your crew’s way.

“How the hell do you manage to speak fish?” You ask the man, earning a grin from the large sailor.

“Just can. Lots of free time waitin’ for adventures. Got bored.” He then swims over to one of the replacement yards, easily lifting it and swimming it over to the pile with the others.

“That’s one helluva crew member.” Anna says, swimming closer to you though keeping her eyes on the fish around the ship. “You swear those fish aren’t going to nibble on me if I ever fall in?”

“If they do, I’ll kick them out. Then no more easy meals for them.”

“Good.” She sighs and looks back at the ship. “So. You gonna do it?”

“Right.” You reach into your pockets, pulling out the two crystals and looking at the ship. “So… uh… how do you-”

Just as you say that, the crystals start to spark and sparkle with red energy, and a small pop up appears in front of you.

Use Claimant Crystals to Claim Ship?
Nameless_Wrecked_Sloop_3.11_location_5
Yes / No

You grin and quickly hit the yes, only for another pop-up to appear in front of that one

Error! Ship Extremely Damaged!
Use nearby materials to repair ship?
Yes / No

Again, you hit the yes, and this time you feel the crystals disappear from your hands. Red magic quickly jumps out from where they just were and onto the ship and spare parts. As soon as the magic touches the parts, they start to float into place and stick themselves into the ship, undoing every bit of damage the ship has undergone over the years it has been down here. Then the ship itself starts to levitate, slowly raising up with sand and small critters falling out of the quickly sealing holes.

“BRACE YOURSELVES!” You bellow out before grabbing onto the ship, noting that Anna has gone back to the main mast and is holding it for dear life. The rest of your crew, meanwhile, has figured out what is going on and has congregated on the deck all holding onto various parts.

You feel the ship picking up speed as it goes up higher and higher, more and more light filling your vision as the ship shoots its way to the surface like a cannonball out of a cannon. You close your eyes as you feel gallons of water pass by you, pushing you into the deck of the ship so hard that if you weren’t dead you would be sure you were dying.

You can hear the screams of your crew as the ship goes faster and faster, spinning slightly from the yards hitting it as the last repairs are made. You start to feel a bit sick as you spin and ascend faster and faster and faster and faster-

And then everything is still.

Absolutely still.

You slowly crack your eyes open and wince, the light of the sun being something you hadn’t seen since you were last alive.

Wait. The sun.

You open your eyes further, ignoring the slight pain and look around. You find yourself lying on the deck of your ship, the wind softly blowing through your hair and the sound of seagulls off in the distance. You can see your crew all starting to come to, as well as Anna, who all look a bit rattled but alright.

But that isn’t what catches your attention the most. No, what does capture it is the sight of what is beyond your ship

You see the horizon. The meeting of sky and sea, clouds and waves meeting in an eternal blur of blue and white. You see… the surface.

You did it.

You can’t help but feel a huge smile come over you face as you look out at the horizon. For months… no, YEARS you were confined to the grave of the sea. Doomed to live out the rest of your existence on the sandy surface of the seabed, with only the grim reminders of **** and failure surrounding you. But now… you can feel the wind in your hair. The sun shining on your face. The smell of salt and sea and wood and-

It was like you were alive again.

“You… You did it Captain.” You hear Jonas say as he walks up beside you.

“We did it.” You say with a smile. “We’re… We’re-”

“We’re alive again.” One of the other members of your crew says.

“Or at least close to it again.” Another one chimes in. The lot of you look at each other, all stunned but smiling like children at christmas. Then, all at once as if possessed by a shared madness, you all give out a loud cheer and holler of joy.

“WE’RE ALIVE AGAIN!” You all scream out, and quickly the men start dancing around and singing a shanty on the deck of the ship. However, you don’t join them as you quickly walk up to Anna who is smiling but clearly surprised.

“You… You actually did it.” She says with a smile.

“Ready boys?!
The mate was drunk and he went below to take a swig at his bottle-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!
The bottle-o, the bottle-o, the sailor likes his bottle-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!”

You pull her close to you, quickly closing the distance between the two of you with a kiss. She tastes a bit of salt, but mostly hints of vanilla.

Gods above you could TASTE again.

“A bottle of rum, a bottle o’ gin, a bottle of irish whiskey-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!
The baccy-o, tabaccy-o, the sailor loves his baccy-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!”

Anna pulls back with a look of surprise. “Wow. You’re… you’re warm. I figured you were… you know, undead. So cold.”

“Oh trust me, darling. There are a lot of things about me that still feel alive.” You say before taking her hand and placing it right over your hardening cock. “Chief among them…”

“A packet o’ shag, a packet o’ cut, a plug of hard terbaccy-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!
The lassies-o, the maidens-o, the sailor loves the judies-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!”

“Oh I can most definitely feel you getting… lively.” She says with an almost purr. “I take it you want me to.. Start paying?”

You nod, pushing her a bit towards the door into the interior of the ship. “You can give me a full payment later. But for now… Let’s see what those pretty lips of yours can do.”

“A lass from the ‘pool, a girl from the Tyne, a challah so fine and dandy-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o
Tread on me coat and all hands in, a buttle good rough and tumble-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o!”

She grins, pushing the door open and letting it swing closed behind the two of you before quickly taking her to her knees.

“Well, get it out, Captain.”

You waste no time, reaching down and lowering your pants just enough that your hard 7-inch cock quickly bounces forward and almost smacks her in the face. However, this does not deter her. If anything it just spurs her further as she purrs and reaches up to start stroking you.

“So hard… all for me.” She smirks at you. “You know… I may not be a slut but I do enjoy a good cock now and then. Let me show you what I can do.”

She then backs up a bit and places her lips softly against the head of your cock, giving it a soft kiss that makes you shudder in pleasure. She continues this, peppering kisses all along your head and shaft all while softly stroking it with her hand. You look down and see the blush in her cheeks as well as the way she is rubbing her thighs together showing that she is enjoying this just as much as you are.

Then, right as she was about to reach your balls and kiss them as well she pulls back and quickly engulfs the head of your cock in her mouth, moaning in pleasure as her tongue starts swirling around your sensitive head. You give out a moan, your hands going out to grab at her hair and pull her a bit closer. She relents at this, letting you softly fuck her face.

You know you aren’t going to last long, as it has been ages since you last managed to do anything sexual with a woman, and you can tell she knows that. She looks up at you with eyes that are just pleading for you to cum, begging for you to fill her mouth with seed.

You grunt and start fucking her face harder and faster, your hips now matching the movement of her head so you can fuck her a bit faster. You do keep your cock out of her throat for now, not sure if she can do that properly but noting in your mind to try that out later. However, for now, all you want to do is fill this woman’s mouth with cum till that is all that she can taste.

“Holy fuck Anna!” You moan out before holding her head in place, the head of your cock right on her tongue before you shoot out your orgasm. Instantly her mouth fills with cum, and you can hear her moan in pleasure and just notice now that her hands had moved to between her legs and were fingering her pussy while you fucked her face. You sigh in relief as you empty your balls into this mage’s mouth, and after what feels like an eternity you manage to pull your now softening cock from her mouth.

She looks up at you, opening her mouth to show a pool of cum before closing and swallowing. You feel a small twitch in your pants, and can’t wait to collect your full payment later. But for now… You reach down and help her to her feet.

“Not bad.” She says, smacking her lips. “Saltier than I would like, but I assume spending less time under the sea will change that.”

“Hopefully.” You say, opening the door. “I can’t look forward enough to when I get to see how good you taste.”

She giggles and winks. “I look forward to it, Captain.”

“A sing song-o, a sing song-o, the sailor likes a sing song-o!
So early in the morning the sailor likes his bottle-o
A drinking song, a song o-love, a ditty of seas and shipmates o!”
