The princess... 

Nolan winced, what kind of person even threatened to harm a child? He followed after Kai to the castle and both men made their way to the royal bedroom. However, upon entrance, they found that it was empty. "They must have left." The cook muttered as he eyed the empty room.

"Let's head out, I think everyone decided to hightail it out of here." If he were an evil pirate, where would he hide a child. Nolan didn't know, so he and Kai exited the castle instead and as soon as they did, a bright red flare lit up the sky. The first thought that ran through Nolan's head was that it was all a trap, however it could also have been his teammates or a warning or SOS sign of some sort. He clutched his rifle to his chest, "do you think it's the others?"

The cook remained hesitant for a good couple of moments before finally deciding to take the risk. "It's this way right?" The more nervous Nolan got, the more chatty he became. It helped chase the fear away. He and Kai made their way around the castle before they finally reached the shore. The captain was there and so was Fenn. It took Nolan a couple of seconds to understand what was going on, but when he did, it rendered him speechless.

He was planning to drown the princess? Oh Gods no...

This situation, it could go wrong in so many ways. If they made the wrong move, the princess would die. If they attacked, Fenn could easily drop her. If he shot the man with his rife, the girl would most likely fall into the water. Nolan's mind went into overdrive and he pointed his rifle at the crazed captain Fenn. "Don't move! We can settle this like civilized people if we tried!" He had gone red due to anger. "If you drop the girl, I'll put a bullet right between your eyes!" Aside from his cooking, Nolan took pride in his aim.

It felt like all the air had been pulled out of his lungs. Hopefully king Fenn loved his life enough to consider the threat.
