Just Another Day

Shanku waited intently as the captain gave orders to his men. When she heard the cue, she dove down after the first volley of arrows. With the pirates distracted by the projectiles, Shanku was easily able to dive in and slit the throats of the archers near the deck railing. She flew up to one of the masts on the brigantine. With a flash of anger, she saw the bodies of Templeton, Marley, Arrington, and Patton by the railing as the pirates prepared to board. Where's their captain? Furious, she searched the deck, and finally spotted him. There!

Turai angled his wings and coasted higher into the air to watch the archers of the Meriweather fall as he performed the same attack on them as his younger counterpart. To his frustration, he saw that his ship had lost the same amount of men. Even worse, there stood the black-winged devil he'd heard about, and she was preparing to dive at his captain! He swore under his breath and launched in her direction.
