The crowd of gossiping and groggling pirates grew silent almost instantly as a new set of boots thumped along the planks of the ship.<br/>The captain, a vampire old enough to stand the light of day strode out from his quarters.<br/><br/>The man had unruly blueish-purple hair that seemed to change from either to or in the sunlight.<br/>His eyes were a bright green, almost like a felines, and he carried a gold pistol on his belt, having left his rapier in his cabin.<br/><br/>Cerious stopped in front of the sea creature, not bothering to show fear of something that so obviously couldn't even stand well, if at all.<br/><br/>He tapped it lightly with the tip of his boot, tilting his head and frowned in annoyance.<br/><br/>"What are you, boy?"<br/><br/>He was a no-nonsense captain...if someone stepped out of line, there was a punishment...if it happened again.......it would never happen again.
