[Styr's POV. The Bloodsails Captsiy!]
"Whoever challenge our clan!"
"Kill!"
"Whoever stands on our way!"
"Kill!"
"Whoever dare to resist the Blood on the Sails!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"They think they can snatch the meat from the mouth of the beast! The deserve a thousand death!"
"YEAAAH!"
"Kill the men! Throw the children in the sea! And take the women! HAHAHAHA!"
"Yeah HAHA!"
"Whoever bring the head of Jon Dare, will have his woman!"
"Hahaha! I'll bring it captain!"
"We will sweep through them captain!"
"Kill them all!"
"Gooo!"
These barbarians!
It will turn ugly for the poor town!
Originally, this was a territory of the clan until some fellow by the name of Jon Dare turned the puppet of a Jarl against us and started to build his own power.
I'll admit it! He fooled us and I admire his ways but he is an idiot in the end. He can be swift, smart and 'Dare' all the way he wants but he can't just try to block the tide with brute force.
The Bloodsails Clan may respond a little bit too late but a response will come.
We sent one of our men after him in Dawnstar and he refused to die quietly. He offended our clan greatly by doing so. We wrote his name on the sails with blood.
Those who got their names written are dead people.
Well, not entirely dead people, some of them managed to live anyway.
I looked at the sails and could read some names that are impossible to touch yet our bride never allowed us to remove them.
On the top are the 'Bloody Hilda' and the 'King of Ashes'. If I remember, our clan cooperated with some other clans to kill the son of these two. I think I was just a kid by the time it happened.
Seriously! The clan is just a bother.
They don't stop making enemies with everything in the world.
Now, we are in an open fight with a kid from the College of Winterhold just because he stole territory from us.
And my father told me to stop being lax and go as the head of the campaign.
What is he trying to do?
It is only the first day and I am pulling them left and right!
Some talents could be seen in their ranks though! A red witch and some brutes that can walk on water.
They costed me a ship already.
It doesn't matter to me.
Once the sneaking team attacks them from behind, they are all done for.
I don't know why the mages decided to move against us this time? I know that this Jon Dare is a mage and can't be ordered around by the College's administration because he is being protected by some strong mage.
Lucky for me, that mage can't join the fray because she seems to be a core member of the College. They don't interfere with us hidden clans as they can be considered one.
"Captain Styr! Should we move now?" Some asked me
"Hmmm! What is the situation ahead?"
"Karstag landed with the boats you sent him with! The red witch retreated!"
"How sad! She won't live!" I pondered for a while. "Fine, let's move!"
The main ship started to move! With its appearance alone the enemy will fall into disorder!
*Boooooooooo*
It was as I said, they sounded the horn and all retreated then fortified themselves on the slope.
Just as I thought! It is the best course of action anyway. If they can't stop us from landing, the should stop us from climbing. They have the higher grounds after all.
Well, that would be true if only I haven't sent Karstag to attack them from behind.
"Tell, the front ship to kill those men who can walk on water and prepare to land! Tell them to wait for us and keep dista... Oh! Karstag is here! Tell them to head to the shores immediately! Karstag's men will attack from the back the moment we attack from the front! Hurry, hurry."
I saw Karstag standing above the slope and it seems the enemies haven't noticed him yet.
Good! I was worried a bit from that red witch but it seemed he killed her.
Hehe! This battle is over!
"Signal the first ship to land and secure the shore!"
"Yes! Captain!"
"The Catapult ship! I want it to go a deeper and clean the slope from those rebels!"
"By your orders, Captain!"
"We, the main force in the third ship, will wait to go full ahead once they kill each other!"
"Understood, Captain!"
"Don't disappoint me! Everyone to their stations, we are reclaiming Winterhold!"
"YES!"
That was not a hrad battle!
The rebels showed a good fight but in the end they are just rebels in our territory.
I don't take pleasure in this but they have forced us to do so!
"Captain! Something happened to Karstag!"
Eh! He was fine just now.
He just gave us a signal that he managed to sneak on the town. Now, we have them cornered.
"What can possibly happen to him?"
I took the spyglass that my quartermaster offered me and looked at his direction...
Dead?!
"H, How? When?"
Oh no!
The first ship is sailing into an ambush!
Dammit! They can't be stopped anymore. We need to rush to their aid.
*mu....c*
Huh!
What is that?
Where is it coming from?
*music: Ride of the Valkyrie*
Music!
Strange? How can there be something like that in the sea?
"Captain, the Sky!"
One of my sailor pointed to the sky...
"What now?"
"These birds!"
Huh?
What's with them?
I used the spyglass once again and what I saw made all my body go tense.
"What kind of sorcery is that?"
These birds are made of fire! And they are the source of that strange music!
I don't understand.
They are flying in formation? Three of them are heading to the first ship, three are heading to the second, and...
*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*
"What is going on?"
"Attack!"
"We are under attack, Captain!"
"Where is it coming from?"
"Captain, it is from that far away ship!"
"How? What kind o..."
"It's fire, Captain! The are shooting fire on us like mages."
Fire? From that distance?
Ah! They are shooting again!
"Take cover!" I shouted to warn the crew.
*music: Ride of the Valkyrie*
That music is nearer louder! The burning birds are already over our heads.
"Captain look!"
One of the crew men pointed at the sky again.
The six birds over the other ships started making weird moves and suddenly changed from their forms into massive chunks of fire...
"NOO!"
... and they fell on the two ships.
*KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!*
"....."
What I saw was indescribable...
The two ships in the front were no more!
The strange ship kept attacking us but my head had already stopped processing what is going around me.
All I could see is the last bird hovering over my ship!
When is it going to fall?
*chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp*
My expectations betrayed me!
Only a blue light with sounds of chirping came from above the bird.
Suddenly! A man appeared over the bird and jumped down from it... his body was giving of blue light as if he was the source of it all along.
Once he was in the air he fell directly on my ship.
*BOOM!*
All the ship dangled from that landing, he fell down like bolt of lightning and caused a massive damage to the ship and the crew around where he landed.
Once the dangling tensed down. I could see a hooded man in a strange fur armor with a sleeveless mage robe on it. He looked like a barbarian warrior and a storm mage both in the same time.
He landed in a kneeling position on his right knee and right fist. He moved his sight to look at us with a fierce smile.
"Superhero landing! Haha! It sure hurts like hell. Anyway! Daddy is home, bitches!"

[Alina's POV, a while ago]
Why?
Why did we have to meet an Aura master here?
He ran like the wind after us and managed to block our way!
Now, he is between us and the town!
If we ran to different directions, he will just go and wreck havoc in the town. If we faced him we will pay a hefty price to put him down. But the problem is that his men who are still coming are not far away.
"Dammit! Take him down as fast as possible. We can't afford him to live." This was the only solution I can think of!
"Hehe! Little girl, don't overestimate yourself!"
The man laughed in a disgusting manner as he took out two swords.
Two swords? Against a Moonblade? You are testing my honor?
I jumped down from the Flame Atronach Horse and cast a 'Bound Sword' on each hand.
"Hehe! Girl, you are courting death!"
The man said as he slashed with his swords at me.
Surprisingly, I could evade easily!
All he can do is just wave around the blades with no understanding to them at all.
How vulgar!
I could slash at him few times but an Aura master is an Aura master after all. All I could do is to delay him for the rest to recover their Magicka!
"Alina! They are coming!"
"I'll hold him down. Take care of them!"
I was not confident but I will at least buy them a minute.
"Play time is over, little girl!"
"Huh!"
The man said so and all I could feel was myself flying backward.
He, he was playing me the whole time?
... How frustrating!
I could hear Yisra fighting the rest of the pirates and calling for me.
Their situation is bad!
I need to...
"You should worry about yourself!"
"Aaah!"
The man kicked me and it felt so painful.
If felt like I am being shattered!
"I would have taken you to the young master but it seems your kind of woman would cause us nothing but headache! Just thank me I am killing you quickly!" The man raised his sword and...
No!
"MIA'A'A'OW!"
Huh?
Instead of taking the stab, I heard a cat growling!
"Ah! Ah! Aaah! Let go! Let go!"
"Help the Captain! Hurry!"
What's going on?
"Wha! Undead? Run!"
What is happening?
I could open my eyes and managed to see the scene around me!
"Eeeeeh!"
The man I was fighting is being bitten and scratches by... a large black cat?
It's almost at the size of a wolf?
The man's legs and torso were riddled with arrows!
Where are they coming from?
And why are there undead around me?
The undead are armored and attacking the pirates!
"Are you okay?"
A feminine voice called for me!
I looked at the direction and it seemed like a girl in a hood with grey skin and one sharp eye. The other eye is hidden under her hair.
So cool!
She is so beautiful.
She had a bow in her hand so I guess she is the one who shot the pirate man!
Amazing!
She put down an Aura master with that strange cat!
"I am fine! Thank you!" I took the hand she offered.
"Looks like everything is over here, Yisra!"
"Eh! Jullanar!"
Jullanar? Jon Dare's follower?
"Where are the 'Cannons'?"
"Ah! They are behind the bathhouse!"
"Fine, Ongeim has arrived with the new ship. Take this staff, with it you can command these undead to carry the connons to the ship!"
"Undead! Staff!"
"Team leader orders!"
"Oh! Jon said so?"
"Yes! There is no time! A big ship is coming and we need the weapons to stop it!"
I heard the conversation and my head had some hard time to process it!
"Wait! Where is Jon Dare?" I interrupted and asked.
The girl called Jullanar and the cat froze at the same time and looked at me!
""Making an appearance!"" They said.
The cat... said?

A/N: Skyrim Weakley Extra: 1/2
Enjoy~♥
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Jon's POV]
This looks bad!
The pirate commander is one crafty son of gun! He played my men left and right.
I've sent Jullanar and Nefertiti to help Yisra, Mahran, Morbagog and that Red Girl with them, the enemy they are facing is troublesome.
From what I saw with 'Far Vision' spell, the team of four was being chased and got stopped by an Aura master. Soon they will be flanked and get overpowered with numbers, that's why I sent Jullanar with some Wrathmen to finish things and pick the 'Cannons' up.
Ongeim seemed to have arrived but he couldn't go near the shore as the battle was already hectic enough. He barely has enough men to sail the Gunship.
On the other hand, the pirates were getting prepared for the final assault. They were probably planning to assault my men from the front and the back by a surprise attack from the sneaking.
Oh! They are finished already.
Jullanar is helping the Red Girl to stand up in a super cool way.
That should have been me but... Oh! So jealous! Hands off my Jull.
Never mind that now!
I am preparing for my grand appearance. I am arriving to the battle this late so I should look as cool and majestic as possible.
Hmmm! Many scenarios in my head right now. Can't even decide which music theme to go with.
Should I go with some 'death metal' or... no, the world is not ready for that yet!
'System! Any suggestions?'
<168 Results!>
Oh! You are even making it harder.
'Show me the top five results!'
◆■◆■◆■◆■◆■◆
▶ TESV: Skyrim Theme Music
▶ Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Music
▶ Victory is Ours - Warthunder
▶ Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
▶ Ride Of The Valkyries - Richard Wagner
◆■◆■◆■◆■◆■◆
Oh! Nice choices.
Hmmm! Skyrim theme? Nope, not this time.
Pirates of the Caribbean theme? Can do. What else?
Victory is Ours? Nah, too Russian.
Immigrant Song? Thor has already used it in Ragnarok.
Ride of the Valkyries? Hmmm! That one is dangerous. It will make the men go crazy.
Hehehe!
Fine, let's use it.
I used a spell similar to 'Magelight' and called it 'Magespeaker'. It can produce the sound I want wherever I attached it on. By linking it to the Media Player of the System, I can make it as loud as I want.
And all what is left is the entrance. I prepared seven Flame Atronach Hawks for solely for it.
Speaking of the Flame Atronach Hawks, my reckless action of going down the 'Throat of the World' proved to be very beneficial. I could gain a lot of understanding about flying now.
I managed to put some minor edits on the Hawks by making the wings longer and wider as well as fixing the tail a bit, I managed to make a Flame Atronach Hawk that can fly higher than I could do before.
Now, I guess I can fly over the altitude a hundred meter with no problems.
I also added a new function to the Flame Atronaches. It was already there but I made it more intense.
Whenever a Falme Atronach gets destroyed, its body explodes. So I thought why not to tweak it a little bit?
It was an old idea but I could do it better this time now that I have a spell like 'Meteor' and a Hawk form for the Atronach. So instead of the crap function that causes a simple explosion in with destruction, I can now make the Flame Atronach Hawk self destruct by gathering a lot of Magicks and transform into a Meteor.
With that, everything is ready for my grand entrance.
Now, it's Jull's turn!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Alina's POV]
I think I heard the cat saying something but it was my imagination. I am sure of it.
I must be too exhausted!
"Stupid cat! Leave that man's corpse intact! We need it to look whole!" Jullanar was speaking to the large black cat which seemed to understand very well.
"I will be taking the man's corpse for the ambush! You guys help Captain Ongeim to fix the cannons on the Gunship."
Yisra and the rest nodded right away.
"Wait! I will come with you!" I spoke before she leaves.
"Eh! Won't they be needing your help?" Jullanar asked me.
"You gave them enough undead to carry the cannons and I don't understand magic machines anyway!"
"Fine! We should move fast." She said that and evoked a conjuration spell. So she will conjure a Flame Atronach Horse, huh? I shouldn't lose in that.
I also conjured one but when both appeared, I felt something can't be compared.
Her horse was tall and nimble much different than my bulky horse. So Jon Dare didn't share the full spell, huh?
It is a very useful spell but no one could decrypt it at all. Jon Dare is taking a full monopoly over the runes of the spell.
Anyway, I rode with Jullanar to the edge of town then she jumped from her horse, dragged the corpse down and cast spell on it.
The corpse moved and started to stand up.
Necromancy! In the open like that?
She sure is bold!
The corpse seemed to be hard to control as Jullanar was using a lot of magic to control it.
I guess the corpse of an Aura master should be a bit hard to control. It is still filled with residual energy from the soul.
Just as she could control it, she made the corpse walk to the edge of the slope and waved to the pirate ships!
"Wait! What does this mean?" I suddenly freaked out.
Why are they telling the pirates to attack us.
"Just wait for it! Any time now!"
She was so focused on something and didn't look at me.
*music: Ride of the Valkyries*
Ha? What is that?
Music?
"What is going on?"
"He's coming!" Jullanar said.
By he, could it be...
"Jon Dare?"
"Yes! The music is his first move."
"How, how can he make music by Magic?"
"A spell he calls 'Magespeaker', the same idea of 'Magelight' but the aspect is 'Sound' not 'Light'."
Wait! What?
Is, is that even possible?
My head hurts! I knew Jon Dare is a genius researcher so I should try to not get surprised from now on.
*music getting louder*
The music sounds nice! To produce such music with magic, I don't think that is actually possible.
What secrets are you hiding, Jon Dare?
"EVERYONE! THE BOSS IS BACK!"
Suddenly, Jullanar let go of the corpse that collapsed and shouted at the men on the slope.
By that time, the first ship of the pirates started moving to the shore!
But some strange phenomenon occurred! The men were...
"The Boss! He is back?"
"Finally!"
"We are saved!"
"*sob* *sob* I thought I was a goner!"
"Let's show these pirates!"
"Hey, listen! That sound!"
"Wait! Is there a bard?"
"I don't know! I just hear it and I want to fight!"
"Look at that!"
"By the Gods! Burning Birds!"
"Yes! They are making the music!"
"Burning Birds! Like the Burning Horses the mages use!"
"I know! I know! I used to live in this town before you guys! The first one who rode the Burning Horses was the Boss. He then taught it to the other mages!"
"Wait! You are saying..."
"Those Burning Birds are the new creatures the Boss can make?"
"Gods! The Boss became stronger once again?"
"Ysmir's Beard! We will sweep those pirates like nothing!"
"Yeah! The Boss is back we can't be afraid!"
*Music getting even louder*
"Ah! My soul is burning!"
"The Burning Birds can make such a beautiful singing!"
"You idiot, the birds are called atro..something they can't sing!"
"The Boss is making the sing with his magic?"
"Is it like the Battle Bards and the Skalds of old!"
"I knew the Boss is mighty!"
"I can't stop! I want to kill a hundred pirate now!"
"Here he comes! The Boss is riding a Burning Bird!"
"Shor's Bones! The Boss is flying!"
"Follow the Boss!"
"Yeaaaaah!"
"FOR THE BOSS!"
"SOVNGARDE!"
What in Oblivion is happening?
The men who were fighting since the morning are getting crazy?
What's wrong with them?
"We can't stay lax!"
"Leave me! I am all healed!"
"Follow the Boss!"
"SOVN *cough* *cough* SOVNGrade *cough* *cough*"
Wait!
These guys were in the infirmary?
Why are the coming out? They are all beaten up!
"HAHAHA!"
Oh girl!
"DID YOU SEE THAT MEN? THIS IS YOUR BOSS, THE MAN I LO... ehem! THE MAN WE FOLLOW! CUT HIS ENEMIES TO PIECES! ATTAAAAAACK!"
Even Jullanar who was calm like a silent hunter a moment ago became like this?
Was it Jon Dare? Or the music?
This is dangerous!
This town is nuts!
"Red Girl!" Jullanar looked at me with a fierce smile.
"It's Alina!" I refuted.
"Alina! Beautiful name! I feel you are a strong mage! I am Jon's partner but he is going to make a strong attack from the air now! Let's support each other!"
What sort of fighting spirit is that?
She is even crazier than the other people!
"Y, Y, Y, Yes! Let's go!" I was shaken by her fighting spirit!
"MEN! FOLLOW ME!"
She shouted and rushed down the slope!
"It's Jullanar!"
"'Lady Jullanar' you idiot!"
"Follow the Lady Boss!"
"KILL THE PIRATES!"
"KILL THEM ALL!"
I followed Jullanar and part of her madness started getting to me.
At first I just wanted to defend the people but there was something missing!
When I led the men with Wulfur and the others, we were focused on defending the town! But Jon Dare and Jullanar offered the people another alternative.
Don't kill the enemies to repel them! Kill the enemies to annihilate them!
This is... This is just crazy!
It may seem wrong to needlessly kill but it is more wrong to kill half heartedly!
I was wrong, huh?
I looked at the girl in front of me who was shouting at the men to rally up! I looked at the man who is riding an Atronach Hawk!
I get it! I so get it!
That is what I am looking for!
They are strong! So strong!
They are as strong as Darth Vader! Maybe even stronger!
I want to see it!
The Flame Atronach Hawks flew after Jon Dare's hawk in a formation where Jon Dare was in its center and then flew near the enemy ships.
Suddenly, the six of the Flame Atronach Hawks around Jon Dare slowed down and strated changing then turned into huge chunks of fire. They fell on the two ships near the shore.
*KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!* *KABOOM!*
You've gotta be kidding!
The ships are no more.
The ceased to exist!
This power! No mercy! No forgiveness!
I was shaken to my core!
I felt it in my soul!
The pirates who managed to jumb from the ships and reach the shore were all massacred by the arrows of Jullanar and the axes of the men.
I didn't even have the time to cast magic.
To think his appearance wouldn't just turn the tide, but sweep the whole damn rise.
What more can you do, Jon Dare?
Show me!
In the name of Kyne, I, Alina Moonblade, shall witness it all!
As if he heard me, he turned his hawk and flew to the main enemy ship! Alone!
So tyrannical!
He is going to do it like...
*BOOM*
No! He jumped and used shock magic to fall like a Bolt of Lightning!
The ship he fell on shook and screams echoed!
This is madness!
"He is facing them alone?" I wondered out loud.
"It is useless to outnumber him but let's take no chances!" Jullanar replied then looked around. "Trudvar, bring us a ship!"
"Eh! Lady Jullanar! The Alexandria is there!"
"Good! We are going after Jon!"
