THE PIRATE FIREBEARD AND HIS CURSE ON THE HIGH SEAS/PART VII
Previously...
The past between Reelé and Firebeard was known. She, a beautiful woman with an obsession with the pirate, one in which she wanted to control him completely, make him her slave, and that he could commit unforgivable acts, but that these would not be subject to questioning.
Finding himself back on the ship, the captain wondered, as did one of his faithful privateers who also felt that the real reason they were still at sea was because of a curse that had been placed on Firebeard.
-You shall never leave the high seas, Firebeard! You will never set foot on land again, but neither will you be able to sail, your ship will remain docked," the voice of the specter caused the crewmen to shiver.
The captain expected to find himself face to face with Reelé. Firebeard, blinded by his anger, had given the order to his corsairs to stay in attack position, but not to let themselves be carried away by fear, lest they end up attacking each other.
They began to hear babbling but they did not know where it was coming from, generating in them an uncomfortable feeling...they were not advancing and that was already torturing even for their thoughts.
-How dare you step on my ship, did Reelé send you? It seems it wasn't enough to destroy her place, Marrath," spoke the captain.
-I should have gone back to where she was and ended her life once and for all! A damned witch!" Firebeard continued to direct his words with arrogance towards his privateer.
Marrath began to look puzzled, he watched the captain and shook his head in denial, as if something was speaking to him in a whisper and he simply did not agree.
-Marrath! The rats bit your tongue that you don't speak," Fearbeard continued in his annoying voice, unsettling the crewmen.
-My ship isn't moving in any direction, and that damn rotting flesh smell is disgusting. I'd hate to have those rashes on my skin again," Firebeard was annoyed that Marrath was not reacting as he required.
The sun appeared with intensity, burning the faces of the corsairs and their captain, the thirsty ones looked for water inside the ship, but they had none. They threw a bottle attached to a rope into the sea to get the vital liquid.
Desperately they drank from the bottle, the crystalline color changed to black, disgusted by its taste they spat immediately, they felt strong chest and headaches.
The specter had told them what would happen in the following days, but the only thing it did not warn them about was the way they would spend their lives inside the ship, with unexpected climates, with surprising marine animals.
The purpose was to torment them, but to what extent? No one knew...
The hatred that existed towards all of them was superior to all the forces of freedom.
Running away and leaving Reelé alive brought with it a series of consequences to the pirate Firebeard, but besides, he was not willing to bend and remain the slave of that woman.
SPANISH
Se conoció el pasado entre Reelé y Firebeard. Ella, una hermosa mujer con una obsesión hacia el pirata, una en la que quería controlarlo por completo, hacerlo su esclavo, y que pudiera cometer actos imperdonables, pero que éstos no estarían sujetos a cuestionamientos.
Encontrándose de nuevo en el barco, el capitán se hacía preguntas, así como uno de sus fieles corsarios quien además sintió que la verdadera razón por la que ellos estuviesen aún en altamar, era por una maldición que había sido lanzada a Firebeard.
—¡Jamás saldrás de altamar Firebeard! No volverás a pisar tierra, pero tampoco podrás navegar, tu navío se mantendrá atracado.—La voz del espectro causa escalofríos a los tripulantes.
El capitán esperaba encontrarse frente a frente con Reelé. Firebeard cegado por su ira, había dado la orden a sus corsarios de que se mantuvieran en posición de ataque, pero que no se dejarán llevar por el miedo, no sea que terminen agrediendose entre ellos mismos.
Empezaron a escuchar balbuceos pero no sabían de dónde provenían, generando en ellos una sensación incómoda...no avanzaban y eso ya era torturador hasta para sus pensamientos.
—¿Cómo te atreves a pisar mi barco? ¿Acaso Reelé te envió? Parece no haber sido suficiente destruirle su lugar, Marrath.—Hablaba el capitán.
—¡Debí regresar en donde se encontraba ella y acabar de una vez con su vida ¡Una maldita bruja!—Firebeard continuaba dirigiendo sus palabras con prepotencia hacia su corsario.
Marrath comenzó a mostrarse desconcertado, observaba al capitán y movía su cabeza en negación, como si algo le estuviese hablando en susurro y él simplemente no estaba de acuerdo.
—¡Marrath! Corsario de pacotilla¿Las ratas te mordieron la lengua que no hablas?.—Fearbeard seguía con su fastidiosa voz inquietando a los tripulantes.
—Mi barco no se mueve hacia ninguna dirección, y ese maldito olor a carne podrida es repugnante. Detestaria que esas erupciones estuvieran de nuevo sobre mi piel.—Firebeard estaba molesto porque Marrath no reaccionaba conforme él así lo requería.
El sol apareció con intensidad, quemando así los rostros de los corsarios y de su capitán, sedientos buscaban agua dentro del barco, pero no tenían. Lanzaron al mar una botella sujeta a una cuerda para conseguir el vital líquido.
Desesperados bebieron de la botella, el color cristalino cambió a negro, asqueados por su sabor escupieron enseguida,sintieron fuertes dolores de pecho y cabeza.
El espectro había dicho lo que sucedería en los siguientes días, pero lo único que no advirtió era en la manera que ellos pasarían su vida dentro del barco, con climas inesperados, con animales marinos sorprendentes.
El propósito era atormentarlos pero ¿Hasta qué punto? Eso nadie lo sabía...
El odio que existía hacia todos ellos era superior a todas las fuerzas de libertad.
Huir y dejar viva a Reelé le trajo consigo una serie de consecuencias al pirata Firebeard, pero además, él no estaba dispuesto a doblegar y seguir siendo el esclavo de aquella mujer.
