Chapter 146: Pokemon World’s Fury - The Unforgivable Cursed One!
The white snake slithered in and out of the skull as if it was running for its life; such was the power of the wind hammering at the flag.
It hadn't taken long for Kai to guess why no one had come behind them.
They had already been warned about the coming storm. The strangest thing was there was no talk of this storm among the sailors when they had left the harbor. It was almost as if someone had put the storm over the Narrow Sea just for Actaea alone.
The Red Woman!
Kai had realized bitterly. Melisandre must have seen this storm using her sorcery. That's why she made the freeriders and the bounty hunters delay their pursuit, thinking that by the time they caught up to the ship, the crew would have already died or been on the brink of death.
A reasonable assumption.
Cog was a ship that wasn't built to survive the storm. Not a storm like the one Kai was seeing, at least. The bulging clouds had brought darkness with them, and within that darkness, white-purple thunder was booming, the crack resounding in the crew's ears like whips of death. They wouldn't live to tell tales, the crew must have thought, for now, they were shivering like naked men walking on glaciers.
The best course of action was to steer the ship back to the nearest landmass and beach it, praying the storm would show mercy on it.
Well, there lay the problem.
The nearest landmass was Dragonstone.
An even bigger problem was that they had come out way into the sea for them to avoid the storm with only 12 men on board. None had anticipated this storm's arrival, despite this crew's frequent voyages between Pentos and Westeros.
