Silence filled the room, the only thing that could be heard was James's strong and hoarse breathing along with the loud sound of the waves hitting the boat.
The storm had already arrived...
It was obvious that James's condition was not good, he seemed to be close to losing control.
"You should have stayed down with the others so I wouldn't have to wait between deaths"- James said with a hoarse and crazy voice.
He didn't seem to notice his condition.
His face was misshapen in a disgusting combination of man and wolf while his right arm was misshapen in the shape of a wolf's leg.
His eyes were black with red irises.
Quickly coming to a decision, Adryan tried to whisper to Alice and Sarah.
"Ru- before Adryan could say anything he was interrupted by James as he threw the body he was dragging towards them.
Pushing Alice and Sarah to the side Adryan quickly jumped to the other side to narrowly avoid him. Adryan then yelled.
"RUN TO THE THIRD FLOOR!!!"-While Adryan shouted that, he firmly grabbed the revolver....
This was the first time he'd ever fired a gun so the last thing he needed was for the gun to fall from his hands from the recoil.
Aiming at James and firing Adryan missed considerably the bullet hit the wall to the side of James but before Adryan fired the second shot James would not stay still.
James quickly charged at Adryan like a mad dog.
Barely having time to dodge he move quickly to the right again getting James past with his back to him, Adryan wouldn't waste the opportunity firing another shot this time as James was no more than five meters from Adryan the bullet hit him in the lower back.
Although this did little more than anger him even more causing him to lose even more control.
This time his left leg was affected, transforming into a deformed leg causing James to now have to move like a real dog.
Alice saw that James was too focused on Adryan to give any importance to her. She quickly scooped Sarah up in her arms and ran toward the stairs to the third floor.
'How clever'-was what Adryan thought as he watched Alice manage to escape.
James couldn't care less, the only thing on his mind was the wretch who dared to shoot him.
Seeing the way James was looking at him, Adryan could only think of one thing.
'I should have taken shooting classes'-James quickly launched himself at him again and Adryan dodged to the side again, only this time James was faster, managing to scratch his chest.
Holding the wound, Adryan only allowed himself a quick look, luckily it wasn't deep but it would certainly leave a scar.
Putting those thoughts aside, Adryan fired two quick shots at James but missed as James jerked from side to side.
He charged back towards and Adryan was too slow this time receiving a strong blow that launched him across the room to the wall hitting it hard.
This knocked the air out of him and dazed him and James let out a loud yell and charged at him again with his right arm.
Adryan barely managed to get out of the way watching as James's claw went through the wall where he was.
James tried to get his arm out but was stuck seeing this Adryan took advantage and quickly stood behind James he aimed at his head and fired the last 2 shots from his black revolver.
These shots hit James in the back of the head but that was far from enough to kill him after all he was a sequence seven "Werewolf" that was about to lose control.
And these shots to the back of the head were all it took for him to lose it.
James gave a loud yell and quickly kicked back with his right leg hitting Adryan in the stomach throwing him to the opposite side of the room hitting the wall again only this time with much more force.
This caused Adryan to vomit forcefully and all he could see were stars and he couldn't hear anything just a buzz.
Due to the strong blow, Adryan dropped the revolver although it didn't matter too much since it was empty.
After throwing up, Adryan tried to get up again but this failed miserably, his legs were noodles and his vision was cloudy.
Knowing that if he passed out he wouldn't wake up again so leaning against the wall he slowly got up and he turned to look at Jame.
He was writhing like a snake being roasted alive while still stuck to the wall.
His body seemed to be breaking numerous times just to fit misshapenly he began to howl like a wounded wolf and his skin began to fall off revealing the red muscle underneath.
He grew back only this time he grew to about 2.50 meters and was much thinner.
Seeing this, Adryan tried to move quickly towards the stairs of the third floor but before getting close, James freed himself from the wall and while holding his head to try to fight against the loss of control, he began to hit his head against everything, leaving a sinking hole. on the wall covered in his blood.
As he did this James ended up in the hallway in front of the stairs and fell to the ground as he began to convulse.
Seeing this, Adryan could only begin to curse under his breath as his only exit was blocked.
Trying to think of something, he looked at a lit lamp hanging on the wall next to him.
'It seems that the plan is still in place"-was what Adryan thought as he grabbed the lamp and took out his second revolver from its holster.
Aiming at the gunpowder barrels that the three of them had put together, Adryan fired all 6 shots from his revolver at them causing some parts to break and causing the gunpowder to spill out.
He quickly put the revolver in its holster under his left armpit, grabbed the lamp with his right hand, and prepared to throw it.
But before he did, James's screams stopped being replaced by growls...
Looking at where he was, Adryan saw something that made his blood run cold.
James had completely lost control leaving a "werewolf" of 2.60 meters, skinless and sickly thin if one compared it would be extremely similar to the werewolf in Harry Potter.
Seeing how the eyes of that monster were looking at him with foam coming out of his mouth, Adryan threw the lamp with all his might towards the barrels at the same time that James began to move towards him.
Adryan launched himself down the stairs to the fourth floor as James walked past the barrels as the lamp fell on them.
A huge explosion filled the entire cannon room and engulfed the monster James as he screamed.
The explosion was powerful enough to split the old, shabby ship apart.
As the ship sank the thunder rolled loudly.
The strong storm then began to calm down allowing a view of a mist-shrouded island in the distance.
It was already daylight on the island and the fog had disappeared.
Looking at a beach on the side of the island one could see that it was littered with pieces of a ship.
Suddenly on the shore, a person came out of the water and then walked to the beach to drop on the sand.
The person was a man with red hair and a torn shirt, brown pants, and a holster with a revolver under his left armpit.
This was Adryan Kenway who had spent the last three hours swimming his way to the island.
He was alone and there was no sign of anyone else on the entire beach.
'Shit, I didn't think the explosion would have been that big,' Adryan thought as he sat up holding his stomach.
Peeling off his shirt, Adryan checked his injuries.
He had a large number of scratches and bruises all over his body from the explosion, a large scratch on his chest, and a huge black bruise on his stomach which would be where James kicked him.
'And I thought Tames kicked hard'- he said with a sigh, he couldn't check his back but it should be the same as his stomach.
Sighing again, Adryan put his torn shirt back on and then took the revolver out of its holster and opened the cylinder, removing the casings and putting in new bullets, he still had 11 bullets left.
Now he was going to check the remains of the ship that managed to reach the beach.
Hoping to find some new clothes since he couldn't meet people the way he looked now.
He spent an hour going through the remains but couldn't find anything of use.
Giving up and thinking that he would have to steal clothes, he was about to leave when he saw that the tide was washing something black on the beach.
He looked and saw what looked like a body that was so burned that it was no longer recognizable, the only thing that could be said was its great size of 2.60 meters.
Holding the revolver firmly, Adryan pointed at the body, approaching slowly but when he got closer he proceeded to put the revolver back in its holster.
It was James who lost control but he was dead.
He said that because there was a huge piece of wood impaling him from his right hip until it came out of his left shoulder.
Analyzing his body there was nothing useful if there ever was, the explosion destroyed it.
He looked at James's left arm and noticed that it was covered in fur.
A little puzzled, he looked at it a little better but then he felt a strong pang in his head.
Realizing what it was, Adryan quickly moved as far away from the body as possible.
When a Beyonder loses control, it leaves a sealed artifact behind when it dies.
James's left arm was one of them and Adryan, being a normal person, had no way of dealing with it.
'I shouldn't touch it, but it's an artifact from a sequence 7 Beyonder, it will be very dangerous for someone to find it and touch it' Quickly thinking of what to do, Adryan looked at the body from a good distance away, but something behind the body caught his attention.
It was a blue suitcase that was floating on the surface of the water so Adryan quickly went back into the water to pick it up.
Back on the beach away from James's body, we can see how Adryan was trying to open the suitcase.
Being one with a lock with a four-number combination Adryan wasn't going to spend his time trying all the combinations so he was hitting it with a rock.
After the fifth blow, the lock finally broke allowing him to see what was inside.
It was a black suit with a white shirt, shoes, and a cane.
There was also a wallet that contained 6 pounds and 13 solis.
This caused Adryan to burst into laughter and tears finally a bit of luck for him.
After the shit that happened as soon as he woke up, this certainly made him happy to tears.
He quickly dug a hole behind a tree and buried his old clothes there.
And then he quickly went into the water to wash off the blood better and changed into the black suit.
Picking up the suitcase, Adryan looked out over the ocean, trying to see if he could see Alice and Sarah.
But nothing else washed ashore so all Adryan could do was bow to the sea in honor of Alice and Sarah and the people who stayed inside the boat.
Hoping that their souls would find peace in the Divine Realm of their Gods and also hoping the blonde sisters survived but ended up on another island.
After that, he quickly left the beach in the direction of the port...
After not a very long walk, he finally managed to get there, so quickly moving between the houses and towards what seemed to be a restaurant, he entered and sat down at one of the free tables.
The people there looked at him strangely but after that they ignored him. This calmed down Adryan greatly and once again he blessed his luck with the suitcase.
After a while, a waiter came to his table with a notebook ready to write down this redhead's order.
"Good Morning Sir Welcome to 'Green Lemon Restaurant' Is there anything you would like to order?"
When the waiter said that, he could see how the gentleman in front of him turned pale and his eyes widened.
Surprised by this, the waiter quickly spoke again, worried that the gentleman would go into cardiac arrest.
"Sir, are you okay, if you like, I will bring you a glass of water"
Adryan, still very stunned by the waiter's words, simply looked at him and asked.
"Sorry yes I'm fine but what did you say the name of the restaurant was?"
"Sir, this is the 'Green Lemon Restaurant', the most famous restaurant in all of Bansy Harbort"-
Was the proud response of the waiter.
"I would like lunch for the day and a glass of cold water please" - was Adryan's mechanical response.
The waiter noted down Adryan's order and bowed slightly.
"Perfect sir, I'll bring you your lunch in a while"
With that said the waiter went to deliver his order leaving Adryan alone again.
'Wasn't it that my luck had improved? Why of all places did I have to stop at Bansy Harbort?'-asked Adryan in his head, cursing his luck and thinking that as soon as he had lunch, he would try to buy the first boat ticket to get out of here.
Thunder and heavy rain started suddenly outside the restaurant and the waiters stopped everything they were doing and went to close the door and windows and put up barricades.
A man suddenly raised his voice.
"Listen everyone until the storm passes no one can go out so please those who have a room go to rest and those who do not have one will be provided by the restaurant"
'I'm an unlucky bastard' -was what Adryan thought with disdain
