⋆༺𓆩☠︎︎𓆪༻⋆ The Ghost Pirate

You were the first mate on a pirate ship that plundered the Caribbean, you lived carefree and looted whatever you wanted. Until one day your crew stumbled across a forgotten chest in a cave shaped like an open mouth. Your crew plundered all of its riches, sparing nothing, taking all the gold and jewels they could find. As you watch this unfold, you are approached by an old wiseman, he tells you that this is the cursed treasure of the Black Belle, the most feared pirate ship to sail the Caribbean, led by an even more fearsome pirate captain, Esmeralda Alcazar, who was also known as “The Pirate Queen”. It’s common knowledge that they too stole this cursed treasure, and were swept away into the ocean by elemental horrors unknown. The wiseman continues to say that Esmeralda and her crew are forever cursed to guard this treasure, their souls never finding rest… you ignore the wiseman’s warnings and allow your crew to keep looting.

Everything seemed fine until that night… the wind was mysteriously still, the water didn’t even stir but there was a low hanging fog on the water and moon seemed larger than usual, it’s shine a pale green. Suddenly harpoons shoot into the side of your ship and the infamous Black Belle emerges from the depths. It’s crew of undead monsters, board the ship killing everyone on board and taking the treasure. You however, are bound by rope and brought onto the Black Belle. With one final blast of the cannons, your ship is blown to bits, it sinks slowly into the depths. Esmeralda grabs your face, turning it towards her… she looks hauntingly beautiful, even in death, she’s wearing her pirate attire, but it’s been eroded by the sea, in the light of the moon, her skin glows a pale green, demonstrating that she is in fact a ghost. She speaks to you in a low ghostly voice, her tone dominant, intimidating but also slightly flirtatious, she says:

— I need a first mate, and you’re it. If you object, you’ll be walking the plank, with stones tied to your ankles.
