There she would be safe and sound while Ben come down to the east side of the foot of the hill where Ben and Josefina lived and see what had happened to his men and his fishing vessels. He almost tore his garment, pulled a hair from his head, and sat down with much grief at what he had seen. He looked at the wreckage around him. His entire armada had been destroyed. His large ships had been wrecked and had sunk at the bottom of the sea and lashed-lug wooden planks from his small canoes and ships floated and washed ashore. “That was a terrible storm that night when Maria came. Our fishing boats were wiped out, costing us a fortune. Many wives had nearly lost their husbands and their children

The thought echoed through every mind on the cliffside. ​I watched as the ocean claimed the first of the Southern ships. The pillar of water crashed down on the deck of Julian’s vessel, the sheer weight of it snapping the bone masts like dry twigs. The screams of the Southern sailors were lost in the roar of the surf. The siphons, overcharged with the poisoned light, exploded in bursts of jagged glass and red steam. ​“They are launching the skiffs!” Thorne shouted, his voice a guttural rasp. “They are coming to the shore!”

A spaceship was moving fast through the void near the center of the Milky Way. Behind it were more than a dozen black-horned ships, and they were constantly attacking the spaceship. Although the black-horned ships temporarily could not break the spaceship’s defense, it would not take long for the latter’s defense to fail if this continued. After all, black-horned ships were attack-type ships one tier below the Octagon. Meanwhile, the spaceship was only a commercial-type ship. It focused on defense and did not have a strong attack.

At port one night, heard of the ghost ship along with some other things. Captain Shane Reynolds once was the most feared pirate on the seven seas and most days, he still was. However, there was another pirate whose name was more feared than his own and he vowed to hunt him down. Problem was, no one has ever lived to tell the tale of Captain Reddick of the White Wolf. A few letters had been found telling of a deserted ship. The only life on board is a woman chained and blindfolded in the captain’s cabin. The girl is always rescued, but the ship was now notorious for being a ghost ship. Shane scoffed at this, he didn’t believe in the supernatural. He just figured it was an ugly and disfigured

They reached the deck together to find the crew gathered at the rail, pointing toward the horizon where two ships emerged from the morning haze sleek, fast, flying colors that made Kaelan's blood run cold. Imperial Navy. "They've found us." His first mate, Davin, appeared at his elbow, face grim. "Fast ships, Commander. We can't outrun them, not in these winds." Kaelan's mind raced through options: fight, flee, negotiate. None of them is good. The Navy ships would be fully crewed, well-armed, and acting on orders from the Succession Council. If they'd already seen Liam's photographs, if they already believed the worst

EZREAL’S POV It had been two full days since. Two days filled with nothing but numbers, calls, and problems that just wouldn’t stop coming. I barely had time to breathe, and even when I did, it felt like breathing only made me angrier. The last call ended with another headache. One of my cargo ships—gone. Sank in the middle of the damn ocean. The report said pirates attacked in the dead of night. A million-dollar shipment was lost, just like that.

Entire sheets were blown apart and thrown asunder from the various forces that battered them. The structure beneath was also heavily warped and torn open from the vicious blasts, which exposed multiple decks to open space. Many surprised crew were thrown out into the void, where they froze to death in the cold dark. Others were blown apart by the numerous explosions that resulted from the various systems getting ripped open. Although the Federation frigates were easily ripped apart by the barrage that came at them from all sides, it was the destroyers that suffered the most. Their most devastating gun was forward-facing only, and their broadsides only had smaller caliber weapons designed pur

My whole being trembled violently as the pressure building within me promised to extinguish everything. Zayn Dawson What use was having a $750k yacht when it was somewhere at the bottom of the ocean? Whose bright idea was to have a 3 days boat cruise on my luxury yacht to celebrate my birthday? I tried to remember but everything was still fuzzy. The only thing that was sure to me was the shipwreck last night and how I had somehow miraculously found myself on this island. It looked deserted. Small waves washed shells and debris to the pale sand. Fuck! This was just what I needed. Another fucking disaster.

—thousands of derelict ships, some made of iron, some of glass, all caught in a permanent, silent graveyard around the planet. "We aren't the first to escape," Mara said, her voice hollow as she stared at the monitors. "We're just the latest." The derelicts were a grim mirror of their own history. They saw ships that looked like the Sun-Forge’s spires, and ships that looked like the Great Engine’s older brothers. All of them were cold. All of them were empty. "The Siren didn't just let them go," Audrey realized, her eyes fixed on a massive, shattered vessel that bore a striking resemblance to the First King’s original bunker. "She hunted them. Look at the puncture marks. Those aren't from as

A warning. I grip the railing harder, heart pounding. The cargo ship looms ahead, massive and slow, vulnerable. And then—floodlights blaze from the starboard side. Another vessel emerges from the dark. Sleek, black, marked with a single insignia. The Vitale crest. I exhale, part relief, part dread. The new ship surges between the cargo and the attackers. Its guns roar, tearing into the speedboats with terrifying precision. Engines sputter, hulls splinter, screams cut through the air. Within minutes, the would-be raiders are retreating, limping into the night.
