Lance lay in the warehouse that he had been in for the past few days since the incident happened with his Father Noir had killed his father and yet he did not feel sad or mad at her for what she did. He felt like a weight had been lifted off of him. He sat up in his little cot and leaned his back on the wall. He gripped his staff with his hand as he stared at the ground. It was silent in the warehouse but with all the chaos that had been going on it was better this way. Just then the door slammed open and Drake came running in “Lance, I was walking around the docks and I heard some people talking about a ship being spotted on an island near the town.” Drake said out of breath. He had ran all the way over to the warehouse in order to inform Lance that something was up. The white haired mage picked up his staff and smiled a bit “What does this ship look like?” he asked Drake. “Black sails sir.” he said in a low voice. Lance chuckled and closed his eyes, bringing his staff to his side and pushing off the wall “Indeed, it does sound like trouble…” he nodded and started to walk towards the door “Amber, make sure she doesn’t follow.” he told Amber to watch out for the other mage who had been present the day his father finally died. Amber nodded at him as he and Drake walked out of the warehouse and headed for the docks.
Once they reached the docks he heard some commotion coming from a few sailors “What shall we do?! They may attack us!” The Sailor said. Lance approached him and bowed “If I may, I would like to use your boat to investigate these rumors.” the sailor looked at him for a second and scratched his head “Are you sure? No offence but you don’t look the the type of guy to fix these types of problems. You seem kind of suspicious… like you would enjoy hurting someone…”. Lance’s eye twitched for a second before giving a innocent chuckle “I assure you. I have done harm to no one.” he said with a kind smile as the sailor thought for a second before shrugging “Very well. You may use my boat.” he had a bit of hesitation in his voice as he allowed the two men to climb on the boat. Before heading off, Lance saluted to the sailor “Don’t worry we will have your boat back to you in one piece.” Lance untied the rope as he said this and they headed off towards the island where the ship was supposedly sighted.
On their way the the island Drake and Lance decided to have a little talk. “So, what do you think about Noir?” he had a sly grin on his face when he asked. Lance did not turn to look at the boy as he talked. “I mean she is a cool girl. Strong one at that.” he said in a calm tone. Drake laughed and shook his head “No I mean your feelings for her.” Lance blushed a bit at Drakes question and looked down at the floor of the boat “W-What?! I- I mean she is cute and stuff but I don’t hold any feelings for anyone! I am an evil man for crying out loud! I kill in cold blood without a problem man! I don't need things like love!” his protests just made Drake burst in laughter “Mmhm sure you don’t Lance.” he said as he laughed. The boat got silent for a second before Lance muttered under his breath “You’re right… I do have feelings for her…” he muttered to Drake. Drake smiled calmly and nodded “I thought so.” he said with a smile as he looked up and saw that the island was in sight “Land Hoe!” he shouted in a bad pirate accent. Lance groaned a bit at the failed attempt “You’re so dumb.” Lance said with a chuckle.
The Island was lush and green but yet it didn’t seem like there was anyone on the island and Lance probably would have thought that were it not have been for the huge ship that sat near the beach. He looked around for a bit before sighing “Hey Lance, there is a cave up there. How about you go check it out while I go and search the island some more.” he said and Lance nodded to him and started to hike up a hill to reach a cave that Drake had spotted. The inside of the cave was lit up by a fire and he heard some laughing up ahead. He ventured deeper until he saw a group of pirate clustered up near the fire. He hid behind a rock and listened to them talk for a while “So we planning on raiding the fishing town right?” a scruffy pirate said as the young one next to him laughed “Yes but we must wait for our other members before making the plan.”. Lance closed his eyes and the orb on his staff started to glow “Not if I have anything to do about it…” Lance muttered as he slowly stood up “Hey guys!” he said as he cast Flame Strike. He swung his staff though the air, creating a crescent like flame that shot towards the scruffy pirate. The sudden appearance of the mage and the flame caught him off guard and he was hit with it. The pirate stumbled backwards and screamed like he was dying “W-What the hell?! My body is burning up!” He said as second-degree burns had appeared in multiple spots on his body before falling. Lance laughed a bit as his staff started to glow again “That’s what fire tends to do.” he said to the pirate who he had taken down. The four other pirates looked at the body then back at Lance for a second before two pirate drew their swords and charged at Lance with a battle cry. When they got close enough to Lance the orb on his staff gleamed “Can’t have you touching me with those filthy things” Lance said as he cast Fiery Aura. Lance’s body pushed a wave of blazing heat off of it. One of the pirates Parried his attack while the other one was met with the same fate as the first guy. He started to scream and fell down to the floor. Lance laughed at the two who had fallen before getting hit by an arrow that flew his way. It caused him to bleed from his arm a bit and opened a wound that hadn’t yet healed from his father the other day. He winced and held his arm “Shit…” he muttered as he shook his head “That hurt a little…” he chuckled as he stepped back. He looked at the three remaining pirates with a grimace before gripping his staff “I will take you all down!” he yelled.
