Hector looked at the dreary night sky from atop his ship's mast. Hector reveled at the thought of getting out of the Black Sea, according to his navigator they were just a couple miles north of Constantinople. Hector, or the Dark Angel, Captain of the Devils of the Deep was on a search for his arch enemy, the dreaded Azaneal. He had assembled quite the deadly crew to fight him, including his own adopted progeny, the necromancer Serena and the Homunculous Werebear, Zero. Rumors where that Azaneal was somewhere in the middle east, and wherever there was a hint of Azaneal it was a guarantee that Hector would be hot on his trail. He could never forgive him for what he did to his family and for making him destroy the sacred city of Carthage, the crowning achievement of the Prometheans who forged a city where humans and supernaturals coexisted. The Prometheans that he had now forged an alliance with.
Hector activated his demon form and black feathered wings sprouted out from his back as he jumped from atop the ship's mast and landed on the deck below. He walked through the ship, ensuring that everyone was doing their jobs. He was quite solemn looking as the fodder of the crew looked on at his true Demon Form in awe. The form dissipated as he reached the quarters and entered. There, he saw Serena pouring over some magical experiment. He approached her and Serena spoke to him.
"Zero and I got in a fight once again. He keeps complaining that the spirits are scaring the cabinboy. Like I give a shit about him! When are you going to do something about Zero?" Serena said.
"Zero is just as important to me as you are, Serena." Hector said.
"Hmph. I don't know what you see in others but it's not there. Living beings are just pawns for the chosen, like us." Serena said
Just then, a loud BANG interrupted the conversation as one of the crew members barged in to the Quarters.
"Captain, Sir, there's trouble! A ship commanded by the Society of Leopold is heading our way, I think they're going to board us!"
Hector thought this might be trouble, but he was sure his crew could handle it. If not, he could just sink their ship with but a thought with his powers. He rescinded that thought, however, thinking he might want to keep their ship for a fleet one day.
"Let them come, we will slaughter every last one them and pilfer the spoils of conflict!" Hector said.
Hector and Serena exited the quarters and saw the ship approaching them, ready to board. Anchors were weighed, and battle was soon under way. Serena summoned an army of Zombie Warriors onto their ship, which caught them by surprise. The half of the enemy ship that wasn't fighting Zombies boarded onto Hector's Vessel, and Hector summoned a shadow cutlass and ran into the fray. Hopefully he wouldn't need to go all out for this battle.
