13. Seahorse/Warning
Out in the middle of the sea, a ship sailed freely and headed toward Stormwind. The sails were black with a red wolf emblem prominent in the center of the mainsail. The sailors, different men and women of either faction, were mopping the deck and several were singing and laughing as they cleaned the ship. At the ship’s wheel, the captain looked down at his men. They were a rowdy bunch this time around, but something made him rather uneasy.
His second noticed and the goblin jumped up upon a rail and took a seat. “What the fuck has your attention?” the goblin said, looking down at the rugged bunch of sailors.
“Something’s not right,” the captain said. He locked the wheel in place and walked toward his companion. Red strands of hair flowed around his face as his blue-green eyes peered at the deck below.
“Well, no shit. Look at that scum we hired. Bunch of fucking losers!” the goblin shouted and the sailors below cheered. The goblin chuckled, but the captain wasn’t amused.
“No…” He took his spyglass off his utility belt and looked down below. “One of these is not… One of these is a Rat.”
“A rat. They’re all scoundrels, Wolf.”
Captain Seawolf shook his head and closed his spyglass. “A Rat. One of those Ratz.” He turned to look at the goblin. “Ziggly…a Rat.”
The goblin grimaced and looked down once more. “Fuck. I thought they were going to leave us alone.”
“He’s not spying on us, but he’s here.”
“How the fuck did you figure this out?”
Captain Seawolf smiled and walked away from his friend. “A seahorse warned me before we set sail.”
“What the fucking hell, Wolf? A seahorse? I mean, ok, you communicate with animals with this fucking weird talent of yours, but seriously…a seahorse?” He jumped off the rail and followed the Captain down to the main deck as another sailor ran up to the wheel. “When the fuck do you have time to talk to seahorses?”
Seawolf laughed and he stood on the deck before the main one. “Back at the tavern, before we set sail, you were fucking flirting with the whores.”
“Aye, and I could have fucked them if you weren’t all ‘Let’s get the fuck out of here.’ So?”
“So, I was talking to one of the ladies there…and she warned me.”
Ziggly furrowed his brows as he tried to remember every single whore he flirted with. His eyes widened and he chuckled. “Wait, wait…seahorse. That blonde with the seahorse tattoo on her boob?” The Captain nodded. “OH! Well, ok then. She said there’s a Rat here?”
“Pointed him out and everything.”
“And we’re going to exterminate some rats today?”
“Let’s see what the fuck he wants and if it’s not worth our time, we’ll see how well a Rat can swim, hm?” Captain Seawolf chuckled and placed a hand on his pistol as he walked down to the main deck. “I don’t want any fucking Rat King shit on my ship.”
Ziggly laughed and rubbed his hands together. “I love seeing Ratz walk the fucking plank!”
