Seeing that you didn't flinch, the captain was filled with a great fury that he unleashed by releasing an impressive amount of ferocious flames. The sound of the fire filled the place and its brilliant incandescence illuminated it.

When the fire ceased, the boy was unharmed. Captain Fuego had shot his flames overboard into nowhere.

-Take this filthy worm to the cells -ordered Fuego.

Two of his pirates grabbed Kaleb roughly by the arms and dragged him into the ship's cells.

The pirates threw him into the cold, damp cell, closed the door and locked it. Finally, they withdrew with laughter and derisive comments.

-Enjoy your stay, huachi boy -said one of them.

The noise of the creaking boards as the ship tipped, a sporadic dripping in one of the other cells, and the slight muffled sound of water against the ship was drowned out by Kaleb's heavy breathing, and he turned to look at you angrily.

-You knew that that bastard wasn't going to do anything to me, right? -he told you angrily. The boy kicked a wooden bucket that was on the ground to release some frustration-. Of course... he needs me alive to communicate with you. But I won't lead that damn killer out of this book. No matter what happens, I won't.

The boy picked up the bucket and threw it at the gate, causing it to crack. Desperate, he sat in a corner of the cell, leaning against the wooden wall.

-I hate this place... -his voice began to crack-. I curse that... filthy thing for having created a place like this, where it locks up innocent beings like Nango and the huachis with deplorable scum like that damn murderous pirate. And Tabet...

The boy, sitting on the ground, began to sob as he remembered the cruel fate of the huachi warrior.

 

-Maybe you want to give the boy a few words of encouragement. >
-Maybe you'd prefer not to give him any more false hopes. >
