Chapter 11.7- The Seadragon's Roar
Added 2025-07-20 16:09:31 +0000 UTC—
We were going to be facing one of the first Pirate ships on our radar today. The pirate known as Bloodwail, famous for cutting off the tongues of his victims before tiorturing them into releasing screams that were barely held back by the blood pooling in their thoughts. Fromthere, his enemies and friends alike had taken to calling him Bloodwail. And impressively enough, he was one of the more reasonable pirate Kings that called this place home. He ruled his stretch of the sea from a pair of islands that were so close that it was only a few minutes by boat that separated them on one side.. Individually, they were nothing to write home about, but together they straddled one of the straightest paths through the Stepstones. That was how he fed fat.
From Igneel’s back, I watched as the pirates scurried about. Unlike the Tyroshi, they were not rushing to face us. Instead, it was clear that they were rushing to flee. A fact that I communicated to the Velaryon fleet by blowing my horn three times. That also alerted the pirates as to my presence, but what was there to really worry about.
I received a return signal from the fleet and nodded to myself before I tightened my hold on the saddle.
“Igneel, dive” I ordered as I prepared myself for another battle.
A/N: We get to see the pacification of the Stepstones and why it ends up taking a while— if measurably less time than it had taken in canon. Watch and wait, because this is going to be fun.
