Chapter 1: Marine Based - 1
The waters were turbulent as always. The clouds hanging high above in the sky were dark and stormy.
As they always were. From dawn to dusk.
Still, Kaden, a young freshly graduated marine of fourteen years in age sat atop the ramparts of the marine base he was stationed in, staring out over the churning waters that threatened to rise up into a wave of titanic proportions and sweep over the base.
That was just a typical Tuesday for this place though.
The New World was like that.
"Aaaaah! Please, stop, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" the shrill scream of a pirate being burned alive down below him echoed.
He hid a wince and stared out into the murky horizon, lips pursed still. Pirates screaming for mercy was a daily event here for the most part after all.
Marine Base G5 after all, was just like that. The Marine Base where the toughest, roughest and most cruel...or problem children marines were sent.
Like himself.
Or at least who he used to be.
The reason actually, why he was sitting up here and not down there joining in with his fellow marines tormenting some of the fresh loads of pirates that had made their way into the New World and quickly found themselves ill equipped to deal with it.
