Death Followed Life

1629 he went to Copenhagen, Denmark (it was also known in medieval times to be the centre of a vast -
Scandinavian empire) - {to search for Enatio and Collison}. Perhaps……….to at the end of his so to speak journey, just discover a new life, a new beginning. He decided to pretend being a human, even though he was not. He was a Crowkan, he just could not get it right to act like a human.
As father walked through Denmark, a little boy came his way and asked if he had some spare change(leftover money) and father said no, but the boy wouldn’t leave him, begging father for money, father probably got frustrated with the boy, as he had become a nuisance to him. Father looked at him and said,” Boy….what be your name? ‘Dexter, Sir’ Dexter SandOver’ Sir,” ‘But that doesn’t seem to be of Danish descent.” ‘Yes, I know ‘Sir, but we had to move to Denmark.” ‘I’m truly sorry Dexter, but you have to excuse me for now.” Bit Sir…….and as he was about to finish his sentence father stopped him and stared into the light blue eyes of the boy and ordered him to leave him alone, controlling the boy with his mind, then the boy walked away, but another boy came, asking also for money, as coming fathers way, he says,” Christoph is the name Sir, Christoph Bardunk,’ might I perhaps be of assistance?” then father said, “No! Leave me,” and again father did the same to this second boy, doing exactly what he did to the first boy; although KillWorld did not want to ask this boy as well, why he had such an odd surname, where he would perhaps give the same answer as the first boy. Father walked on to look for a place to stay. He arrived at a place, but father didn’t plan to stay for very long. Morning came, father went out and there he stood, another boy; not the same boys from the previous day. The boy walked up to father and said, “I want to assist you with your luggage, anything, (but what the boy didn’t understand was, KillWorld had no luggage), even if it is heavier than I can bear and you have to know I also are a great cook and a tour guide in my spare time, anything you want, I can get -
,” father looked at him asked his name and he said,” Jakob Anderson (Jakob was the only one among his friends that was actually born in Copenhagen, Denmark), but every one called him ‘Saint”, yet again stared into his eyes, but as staring into the boys eyes, he threw dust into fathers eyes and as father lost distraction, the boy took the money out of fathers left pocket, he threw the money to Christoph and Christoph threw it to Dexter.(You could say the boy and his ) Although his eyes were covered with dust, he grabbed the boy as he had attempted to run. Father got hold of him and said,” Saint…….you shouldn’t have stolen from me, I will leave you……….for now, but remember, when I shall return, you will no longer exist, but perhaps by that I would’ve found it in my heart to forgive you, if by some miracle, by that time, you would’ve changed your ways and become a good man, now go!.” Father left him and he ran as fast as he could, probably back to his mother and father telling them about what might’ve just happened to him, or maybe he’ll stay quiet.
By this time father had no need to purchase any room, because he wanted to go to England to look for Enatio, but something told him that Enatio and Collison would not even be there. Then he found that there were two ships, the one had been wrecked by the sea, and the other, prepared to go out to the sea. The ship that planned to go out needed one more man, and father was at the right place at the right time. Father asked him, but he wouldn’t accept father as one of his crew members, and he hath insisted father try working in another but father wanted to leave, he had to, but the man would not understand and they hath taken another man. Night came to its due and father hath climbed aboard without the first mates consent but unknowingly of father’ they set out to sail the sea; father became a stowaway on the ship of Captain Shiloh.
-
As pretending to do the jobs humans do, was not so hard at that time, whereas living the life as a human even tough you were not, was tough, yet both exciting. Just to think, he was a king, still to this day, and has no need to live a life as a servant, but then again his mind worked different from others, he had no plans in his life, not any day, not any month, never actually, so his life was not like an open book for all to read, he lived without regrets and lived for the moment.
Captain Shiloh called all his men out and said as drunk as he were,” Men! I feel the need to tell you……….that I get this strange feeling that we are manipulated, I get this strange feeling we have a guest onboard, come on’ lets show him how we bid his time with us.” All the men stared at Captain Shiloh as though they were clueless of what to do, exactly. Then Captain Shiloh yelled,” Get the b*****d and bring him to me!”
All the men searched the ship to find the guest Captain Shiloh was talking about and just as his predictions were, they found a boy, that same boy, Jakob who stole the money of our father. Captain Shiloh looked at the boy stared into his eyes and the boy threw that same dust which he threw in our fathers face, also in the face of Captain Shiloh. Now Captain Shiloh became furious at the boys actions and he slapped the boy repeatedly in his face. He ordered the men to tie him against one of the poles and they punished him with their whips, beating him repeatedly in his face with their fists and Captain Shiloh hit him with his whips. Captain Shiloh ordered the men to release him yet as releasing him he saw our father, he looked our father straight into the eyes, almost as if to say, father just sat there and did nothing to help him; when they were done, they threw him overboard for the sharks yet as throwing the boy overboard……..he heard a noise, a very small noise. The men looked again and found another boy (Dexter SandOver) but he the -
Captain just punched him in the face, hitting him out cold but he didn’t throw the boy overboard as he had a feeling that there might’ve been more, so to speak guests on board. The men tied the boy to the pole where they punished Saint. But Captain Shiloh was still unsure if his predictions were due, then he said,” Men… (Shouting)I don’t think those two boys were the only ones, my prediction are there’s more, so what is the punishment if we have guests?” the men answered,” Mutiny! ‘Mutiny!” the captain ordered the men to look below and they found another boy (Christoph Bardunk) they held the boy in front of Captain Shiloh, he took out a knife and made the boy a scar near his left eye on his cheek almost reaching his mouth, then Captain Shiloh said,” now you look decent, but I think, I’m missing something here.” He walked to Dexter, took that same knife and made him a similar scar as the one of Christoph, but only…..his was on his right cheek and they tied him next to Christoph. Captain Shiloh went to sleep and so did all the men. Two weeks have passed, since they threw the boy overboard and on that specific day, that hot day all of the men craved for drinking water, as they had no options, they jumped, half of them went to go swim, when they had pleased themselves they returned to deck and sailed south as Captain Shiloh always kept at south, nevertheless night had fully reached its point and the men all went to sleep; father looked at all the happenings in front of him as it was quiet, father walked towards them but as reaching them, one of the men of Captain Shiloh halted (stopped) him and asked him what his reason were, walking around so late but father gave no answer and killed the man and as sucking the blood of the man, the boys both opened their eyes and saw father, but it bothered father not a bit, yet it did when he heard a strange noise coming from the sea, so he threw the man overboard and hid himself again. As father was hiding, he thought to himself, how humans could be so mean to -
one another. But so was the sea as well, they were as mean as the sea clashing to the rocks whilst in a big storm. The voices came from the sea, voices’ of men, whispering. Father saw them climb onboard and they were not fishermen, they were Pirates and as you may have heard of Pirates, they were not actually forthcoming as decent men with even, any decent behaviours.
They were the meanest of mean, craziest of crazy men, Insane, Sadistic, chaotic and heinous minds. He has never encountered the likes of such men in ages.
Captain Shiloh woke up and saw his ship being taken over by Pirates, and as wanting to attack, the captain of the Pirates kicked him in the face making him lie on his back. Then all was silent and the captain of the Pirates said,” I am Benjamin Gold……these are my men, they will be staying here for quiet a while so show them respect as they came from far………to set sail with you fine gentlemen.” Still it was quiet then he added,” Those who wish to leave, may do so.” And all the men of Captain Shiloh jumped overboard but he himself refused to go because he believed a captain never abandons his ship. All his men were gone, only he remained then Benjamin Gold asked,” What is the business of these two that are tied to this pole? Captain Shiloh gave no answer and again Captain Gold asked the same question but still no answer, then father came out of hiding and Captain Shiloh looked shocked then said,” I assure you, I do not know this man, he’s probably a stowaway.” Captain Gold looked at Captain Shiloh and said,” Shut up!” Captain Shiloh had fear in his eyes, then Gold said,” Speak, mate” but father gave no answer and that frustrated the captain. Captain Shiloh said,” Captain………. seeing that he is a stowaway, I think it will best be he be the lunch of great white. Again Captain Gold looked at Captain Shiloh and said,” Shut up before I kill you and don’t think I won’t!” father thought nothing at that moment at that time; -
Captain Gold then said,” who be ye standing in front of me?” father said nothing and again when tempting to ask that same question father stopped him and said,” I am Lord KillWorld, father of many and leader of the Ravellion.” Captain Gold said,” never heard of you………and never heard of any such society you be calling the Ravellion, whatever that might be.” the men laughed, then father said confidently,” look at those two souls, they done nothing to deserve such pain, at such a young age, I bid you to release them and leave them in my care.” The men laughed again, Gold stopped their laughing as it might’ve perhaps have irritated him in such way, then he said, “if I do so, what do I get in return?” again the men laughed, Gold did not stop them then father said,” you get ever life.” Then Gold said,” what on earth might that be?” soulful eyes were shared among Gold and our father “Immortality,” father said, then Gold agreed and they tied father with the two boys to the pole and Gold said laughing,” now you can take care of them the whole time,” Gold laughed so did the men, father just smiled and Gold along with his men and Captain Shiloh laughed at our father then walked as they probably went to go sleep, of course, Gold slept in a separate accommodation.
Morning reached its point. father was still tied up to the pole along with the two boys, as he spoke to the boys the whole night making jokes, they laughed and it irritated Gold and as coming fathers way in a load of frustration, he slapped father in his face and held a gun to his forehead that looked similar to a double-barrelled wheel lock pistol but without the wheel lock, so to speak. Gold yelled,” ye better stop with this laughing; I don’t like it at all.”
They were pests that didn’t deserve to live as humans, he could’ve killed all of them if he wanted to but he didn’t. Gold was so angry he released father from the pole and -
made him stand on a plank; there were sharks everywhere, Gold gave father a knife he pushed him into the water so that the sharks can feast on him. There were about five sharks and very bloodthirsty, father fell and he turned whilst falling, and stabbed one of the sharks, in its eyes and as they stood there watching him, he killed all five sharks. He was still inside the water, and when all the sharks were killed, he took the knife and cut their skin off their bodies. He returned to deck, with the sharkskin, all the men were shocked. Gold was not even pleased and walked away, as walking away he signalled the men to shoot him, they shot him and he fell then Gold came back and shot father in the head and said,” So much for Immortality.” He went back to his separate accommodation and so the men also left, it was nearly at the point of nights due; father had laid there since the morning to evening, then suddenly he woke, and he entered Captain Gold’s separate accommodation, he saw Captain Gold lying on the bed. It was night and father was furious at allowing this to happen to him. But father controlled himself and hath decided not to kill him yet.
Gold was a treasure hunter, also a greedy man that was more vicious than his own men. He had no love for any person of any kind, perhaps he would not even have for his own flesh and blood.
