The four entered were met with two things that were impossible to ignore; The thick scent of blood that sickenly polluted the air and the large holographic image of Ardyn Croft looking upon them from the transmission stand before them. Besides the lantern set on the ground by the ladder, the live transmission served as the only other light in the pitch darkness that surrounded the rest of the hold. Even the source of the blood was difficult to pick up. Why did that even matter in the face of infamy? 

Vellen was nowhere to be seen, likely escaped while he had the chance to. He knew he could not face this crew alone without a significant advantage on his side. With the rest of the crew already dead or worse, he chose cowardice.

Ardyn Croft, the man looked upon the four with eyes of interest. He barely recognized one of them. Nym. He’d heard more than he’d seen but he was sure he recognized a one-eyed shark when he saw one. 

[Color=red]“Wow… I like this group, Captain”[/color] His eyes fixed on Lizzie. Vellen had filled him in on much of what had happened on the ship. His eyes shifted towards Helio. [Color=red]“Dark fairy. The first I’ve seen which is a shame. A damned shame indeed. You know I don’t want to kill you, right? But I have to now. I simply must, especially after what you’ve done. The cargo is ruined. My crew was murdered during a parlay.”[/color] He shut his eyes with a disapproving shaking of his head. [Color=red]“A fucking parlay.”[/color] He sighed. [Color=red]“You turn over the dark fairy and kill the helmet-headed fuck right now, and I’ll call it [i]even[/i]. It’s a good deal. I’m only asking for two. You killed or captured what? A dozen or so.”[/color][/color]
