Mha Cursed Ships Novels & Stories

Liam pulled a long, brass spyglass from his belt and offered it to Dante. “Our western coast outlook just sent out a mayday," Liam said, his expression etched with sheer severity. "The fleet just entered the harbor, Alpha. They didn‘t arrive from the Nightlands; they crossed the ocean.” Dante’s jaw tightened. "Humans?" "No." Liam shook his head. “Wolves. Yet not as we are. Alpha...hoards of them, in hundreds of huge armored warships. And they bear a sigil I have only seen in the pages of the oldest, deepest history tomes.”

"Proceed." "A heavy freight vessel registered under the Maurice network ran aground in the third quadrant of North Port thirty minutes ago," Drake explained, pausing briefly. "The official public bulletin claims a localized collision with a subterranean reef. However, internal tracking indicates that the 'proprietary biological cargo' transported from their initial laboratory sector initiated a massive systemic containment breach within the lower decks. The security detail failed to manage the volatility; three handlers have been terminated."

Clyde growls, his voice a subterranean vibration that makes the pebbles around the runner's fingers rattle. "The... the lower shipyards are already dark, Alpha," the runner stammers, his face pressed so hard into the mud his words are wet and muffled. "The Western captains... they didn't wait for your column to reach the shelf. When Malakai’s flagship returned empty, they didn't prepare the automated docks for a siege. They initialized the scorch-protocols." My heart skips a beat. I step past the line of iron shields, ignoring the warning growl that clicks in Clyde’s throat as I move to the front.

Not once have I lost control like I just did. This is bad. More than that—this is the the start of the ticking clock. The curse. At fifteen, I hadn’t known or cared what a fated mate was. Hadn’t cared at twenty, either. I was too busy grinding out a living on crab boats in Alaska, trying my damndest not to die in the middle of the Bering Sea. I care now. I lift my hand with the utmost carefulness, taking every pain not to cut her. Then I lie down on my side of the bed, not touching her. But I don’t count on what my body does while I’m sleeping.

It wasn't the hum of the 'Legion,' and it wasn't the song of the 'Saints. It was a mechanical roar. A fleet of modern, iron-clad warships was appearing on the horizon, bearing a flag Panni had never seen: A white lotus crushed by a black gear. "The Third Family," Vera whispered, her terror genuine now. "The Engineers. They didn't want the 'Silence' or the 'Fire.' They just wanted the Energy." A single, massive shell whistled through the air, striking the black junk and turning it into a fireball.

Through her spyglass, the scene at the shipyards was a vision of absolute ruin. Three massive, copper-plated Draconian war-barges had bypassed the outer reef guards entirely, using the Dawn-Gild's leaked coordinates to slam their white-hot reptilian prows directly into the grand merchant vaults. The dry-docks where the secondary hull lines of the Royal Navy were being laid down were already ablaze, the seasoned northern pine timbers turning into lines of running charcoal under the pressure of the Saurian Janissaries' magma-weapons.

"Hmm... I believe we are talking about a different captain then. To be honest with you, I am not the only one sailing with a ghostly ship in this vast water. There was this one before me with a far notorious reputation than mine. He who add an agreeable sense of macabre in any delirium; if I might add. But consider yourself blessed that ye never had dealings with him who collects the souls of sailors and binds them to service before his ship. Maybe you've heard of it?—the infamous Alec Romanov and his accursed ghost ship. The same terrible vessel whose very timbers are cut from the bodies and souls of doomed seamen." "I can assure you that the crew of this vessel was only guilty of one drea

The deck of the enemy ship became their new battleground, and the odds were as dire as ever. Captain Marcus Drago, with his scar and milky eye, watched their approach with a cold, calculating stare. He showed no fear, only a cruel amusement that sent chills through Amelia. As they drew closer, he raised a weapon unlike any they had seen. It glowed with an ancient, terrible power, a light that seemed to pulse with malice. He sneered at them, a voice that cut through the clash of combat. "I know why you're here," he taunted. "I know your quest to break the curse."

She morphs into an owl and flies off into the distance. “The cold ones.” Brea hisses as they all look over the horizon at the huge ships coming from across the sea. “Cursed ones,” the leader of the natives announces. “We call them cold ones,” Brea explains. “They are cursed.” the leader of the natives maintains. “If you look closely you will see the spell reflecting on their wooden water house.” Brea looks at the ships closely. Her eyes widens as she sees the signs. The curse is barely visible but it is there, contaminating even the ship.

The air vibrates with thunder, each clap shaking the very water around me. I struggle to stay afloat, coughing and spluttering, trying to make sense of the nightmare unfolding before me. Another ship, claimed by the Cursed Gulf. Another sacrifice to the Sea of Storms, destined to rest at the bottom with countless others. The mast, now broken, drifts by against the tide.
