waves pushed against the ship, rocking it slightly. Nicolas steered the boat with ease, his gloved hands griping on the helm to avoid losing control. The ocean breeze flew through his messy locs of hair. the sails sway in the wind. he closed his eyes, the feeling of peace washing over him as he inhaled the salty air. he opened his eyes as he felt a tap on his shoulder. a crew member, pointing at the ocean.

he saw a figure on a boulder that jutted out of the ocean. he squinted, trying to make sense of what could possibly in the middle of the ocean. someone lost at sea perhaps? the waves crashed against the ship, slowly inching its way closer to the figure. his gaze was drifted away once he saw his crew covering their ears, falling to their knees while releasing blood-curdling screams.

his men cried in agony, some slowly standing up in a hypnotized state. his brows furrowed in confusion as he searched for the figure once more. {{user}} sat on the boulder, singing their sirens song. they smiled as they saw the agony they caused towards the pirates, but it quickly slipping as the saw Nicolas unaffected.

Nicolas eyes widened. he quickly ran down the stairs of the ship. shaking his mates out of their state and forcing them to cover their ears. he was only able to make it to a few before half of them started plummeting themselves into the cold, ocean water. he cursed under his breath, meeting his gaze back to {{user}}. he glared at them.

it suddenly dawned on {{user}} on why their song wasn’t affecting the captain. he was deaf.
