Next day, a wooden ship was prepared for us. We were ready to depart. Thousands of people came to see us off. I did not know that the word will be spread like a wildfire. How the hell they all came to know about our departure to the great black sea in just a day? Anyway, I felt overwhelmed.
We were at the Bambai sea port. My friends were saying their last goodbyes to their families. I didn't know how they managed to convince them to go on a suicidal journey. Well, I don't care about that. The king was also present there with his minister Induvir and his bodyguards. I went to him, touched his feet, and asked for his blessings.
They kept food and resources worth a month in the ship's storage. They gave us weapons like swords, bow and arrows and even spears to counter any kind of danger.
They even gave us a sailor who was convicted of a crime few years ago. The king promised to set him free if we all return alive. He was an old man, must be in his sixties. He was wearing a green fur coat with gray fitting pants and black high boots. He had a thin body, was bald with little hair left on the sides, had wrinkles on his face and was short heighted. Maybe around five feet and three inches.
What if he attacks us in our sleep and runs away to some other country? We had to be on our guard every time. The king whom I thought as great was becoming an idiot in my eyes. Well, who knows what he was thinking? We were going to die, anyway.
My friends were saying last goodbyes to their families. They were all teary-eyed and were hugging each other. This scene was making me miss my family too much. I climbed the ladder and reached the deck. I cannot describe the emotions I felt after watching the scene from up there.
I could see all the people who came to see us off. I could see the crying faces of my friends' families. I could see the king standing gracefully. I could see Subham's father standing at a distance.
"This could be your last time looking at them like this," Someone said to me. It was that sailor. He was standing beside me. I turned my head and looked at him.
"This could be your last time too," I responded.
He smiled. "I already spent years in prison. I have become old now. I would not live longer even if I survive in this journey."
Whatever he said was right. This old man had no purpose to live. He was already halfway to the coffin. Maybe, he wanted to do something meaningful in his life, that is why he chose to go on this journey with us.
"People don't have to live a hundred years to have a long life. They have to do such a thing in their short lives, so that their names will be remembered even after hundred years," I said.
I had heard this dialogue from my father. I just copy pasted it.
"You seem smarter than your age," He said. "I hope our journey together would be great."
He did not seem like a criminal at all. But who knows? "Yeah, I hope so too," I said.
Now my friends started climbing the ladder one after another. One by one, they all reached the deck. We all were wearing similar fur coats, tight pants and high boots because there was a rumour that The Great Black Sea has cold weather.
We were all on the deck, looking at our beloved people. Wait, I did not have one. My beloved people were with me. They pulled the weights out, and the ship started moving. The land was getting far and far away.
The king looked at the ship until the very last moment before it vanished. "Do you know who is a real hero?" He asked his minister Induvir.
"No, my king," Induvir said.
"One who puts other's lives before his," The king said.
"You are right, my king."
"Induvir, those children are the real heroes. And their parents are even bigger heroes who raised them to be like that."
"Yes, my king." But Induvir was again confused by something. "My king, why did you let Ghosavasu to go with them? Isn't he a criminal?"
King Rajavarma smiled. "There is a reason for that."
"My king, if you don't mind, can I know that reason?"
"My Induvir, you are always curious, aren't you? But I cannot tell you right now. Besides, one of them will betray the others."
"What?" Induvir was surprised at his words. "But my king, who will it be? And how do you know this?'
"A few things should be left untold, Induvir. Our ambitions are something we must keep a check on. It would not make a difference even if I tell you. Besides, this is their journey. Let them face everything by themselves."
"My king, I always get amazed by your wisdom."
King just smiled and said nothing. They went away.
We were slowly moving closer to The Great Black Sea. Sailor was controlling the navigation wheel. The rest of us were looking at the map given to us. The direction to reach the entrance of The Great Black Sea was in it. We had to cover a long distance. It could take weeks, even a month.
"How did you all convinced your families?" I asked my friends.
"It was our king," Bhaskar responded. "Last night, while I was having an argument with my mother. A soldier came to our door. He showed us an order from the king which stated that we should be allowed to go to this journey."
I was a bit confused after hearing this. Why would the king be this eager to send us to our deaths? What was he thinking?
The king was considered a God in the kingdom. The people could sacrifice their everything for him. Therefore, it was understandable that their families could not deny his order.
"Did the same happen to all of you?" I asked everyone.
They all nodded to say yes.
We were slowly moving ahead in the sea. I believed we could overcome any obstacle if we are together. But...
I never knew that these friends would bring me the greatest disaster I ever faced.
It had been two days since we left. I and Surya observed the sea from the upper deck. Rest of them were sleeping in their rooms. The cold wind and the deep fragrance of the sea were making me enjoy the journey. The weather was not as cold as I thought. The warm sunlight falling on my skin made me have orgasms. "It has been two days now," I mentioned. "Yeah, still a long way to go," Surya said. "I don't know what we are going to face there. We not only have to be careful in The Great Black Sea but also around that old man Ghosavasu." I looked far in the sea. "He has not done any suspicious activity yet. Let's see what he does when we reach there." Surya picked up the spear which was kept leaning by the wall. "If he tries to do anything, I will shove this right into his ass." He showed the tip of the spear when he spoke. Surya was a childish guy. He always tries to have fun in any situation. Despite being an adult, he loved to play with toys. He was the mood maker of our group.
I almost peed in my pants after witnessing that pirate's strength. Bhaskar was lying in a pool of blood. Pirate Agnitejas was having a smirk on his face. "Let's see who is next." "Stay back!" Ghosavasu shouted to us. "He is more dangerous than you think!" "Do I know you?" Agnitejas asked, looking at Ghosavasu when he heard his warning to us. "No, but I know you," Ghosavasu answered. "I once fought you and your crew while travelling in the sea." "Oh, then I must have massacred your comrades," Agnitejas said with a smirk. "You..." Ghosavasu looked furious after hearing this. His red face and clenched fist were clearly showing that. "Hah, it seems I was right," Agnitejas grinned. "I must have tasted their warm blood too." "Stop..." "You were not able to save your comrades back then. I will massacre your comrades again. And you will not be able to do anything again." "Stop..." This was bad. I could sense Ghosavasu's anger. I knew Agnitejas was trying to provoke him, and he wa
It was night time. I, Surya and Rahul were tied together to a mast, while Ghosavasu, Ashok and Govind were tied to another. Agnitejas and his crewmates were drunk and were having a party on our ship. Seriously? And we just watched them eating away all our food and resources we from the king. "We have to think of something to get out of here," I whispered. "And where would we go? We are in middle of the sea," Surya said. "There is no way we are getting out of here." Whatever he was saying was correct. There was no way for us to get out of there. Still, I did not want to lose hope and die a miserable death. "There must be a way." "Arsh is right." Rahul agreed with me. "We should not lose hope. We should think of something." I was the one who had the most negative thoughts a while ago. Now, I was the one motivating my friends to not lose hope. I did not want to die... Not yet... Not like this, at least... They were singing, dancing and jumping here and there. Agnitejas sat on h
I still could not believe that it was happening in real. She was still holding my thing. But now... She was headless. I was terrified as hell. I could not think straight. It took me moments to realize it happened in real. Agnitejas removed her body that had dropped on mine. The feeling of her hand leaving my thing gave me chills. The smell of the blood was turning my mind blank. "Men!" Agnitejas shouted. Two of his crew members came running. They also got a bit scared after looking at the situation in the room. "Dump these in the sea," Agnitejas ordered, throwing her head on the floor. They picked her body and head and went out of the room. I was still lying on the bed with a terrified look on my face. The moment when her head fell on my chest revolved around my eyes. Agnitejas walked out of the room with his women. Pirates came to the deck with a head and a torso with them and my friends spotted at them. "Oye, isn't that head..." Rahul mentioned with a shocked look on his
I was lying naked on the bed, and did not want to stand up or do anything. I just wanted it all to be a dream and lie there on the bed. For the first time in my life, I was terrified of someone. I was terrified of that Pirate Agnitejas. "How could we beat him even? Bhaskar was no match for him, even that strong old man Ghosavasu was beaten," These thoughts were going on in my head. "And... And he just killed the girl I was about to lose my virginity with." As I was thinking all this, I heard someone's voice. "Son, do not fall to despair yet. It is too soon for that." I sat up and looked around to look if someone was there, but there was no one. "You have to find the wish fish and break the curse. Do not lose your hope until you do it." Where was the voice coming from? What curse was he talking about? "Who are you? Show yourself," I called out. "I am not there. Only you can hear my voice right now." What? Is something like this even possible? I thought. "Who are you?" I as
Govind, Ashok and Ghosavasu observed their surroundings with keen eyes. The pirates were drunk and were not in their senses now. They had a chance now to carry out their plan. "Govind, Ashok, we need to get our hands on any kind of sharp object, so that we can cut the rope," Ghosavasu said. "But where would we find a sharp object?" Ashok asked in return. "Look ahead," Ghosavasu said. "That pirate is drunk and he possesses a dagger. If somehow we manage to get our hands on it, we will be able to break out from here." "But how would we get our hands on it?" Ashok asked again. He was not the sharp one. "Just wait and watch," Govind said with a smirk. I was now alone. It was my chance to save my friends. I had to think of something. I slowly walked out of the room hoping those pirates do not spot me. "Sheesh, where are my women!?" Agnitejas shouted just at the moment I was about to come out in the open to look for my friends. I heard him and ran back inside the room. Agniteja
We were fighting tirelessly. Someone was approaching Govind from behind in the meantime. It was one of those pirates. Agnitejas saw him and smiled. "So, you are not going to leave her that easily." "No, I am not," Govind responded. "Hm, okay," Agnitejas said. "Why does he look so carefree?" Govind asked to himself. "What is he scheming?" The man behind Govind lifted his sword to swing it. Agnitejas was now having an evil grin as he was sure of his victory, but suddenly, his grin vanished and turned into shock. The man suddenly fell down on the floor before he could manage to even do anything. It was Bhaskar who hit him from behind as saved Govind. Govind sensed something behind his back. He turned and saw a guy lying on the floor, and found Bhaskar, holding his chest from one hand and taking heavy breaths. Govind smiled at him. "It is good to see that you are okay." "Hah, what are you talking about?" Bhaskar said sarcastically. "What can happen to me? Do not forget, I am the
Agnitejas took his women to the room, to our room, to be precise while the rest of the pirates were asleep now. They were drunk, that is why I managed to inflict some wounds on many of them. We could hear the moans of a woman coming from the accommodation. "Oye, we should think of something to break free from here," Rahul whispered. "But how would we deal with the genie?" Surya said. "What if we get our hands on that bottle and throw it in the sea?" I gave an idea. "There will be no genie left to protect Agnitejas." "The idea is great but how would we do it?" Govind mentioned. "We somehow have to break free from here first," Ghosavasu said. Someone approached us amid the darkness when we talked. We could clearly hear the taps on the floor in the silence. It was no one other than Alambusa. "Why are you here?" I asked, looking at her. "I am here to help you," She replied. "Do you take us as fools?" Rahul rebuked. "Is this some kind of trick?" "Rahul, let her finish, a
