The Night Rose Chapter 248
Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w

Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth

“Shoot them down! Shoot them! If you don’t, they are going to blow us up!” A terrified captain deafeningly commands echoed within his troupe like his life depends on it. It was just his cursed luck that his airship is now being robbed by the most infamous ship that gives a dreading experience to any airship it encounters. Why of all the days and all the airships out there should it be now and them? The captain was furious with a sense of trembling in his knees. He knew he would lose everything by then. Its pitch-black exterior conceals the scars and bloodstains that marks its victorious history of killings. Some people call it ‘the bloody rose’ for it is said to leave a bloody trail of death and chaos behind, just like a poisonous rose petal that is enchanting, but lethal. This airship is too fast for anyone to catch, and it seemed to know its way around the skies hiding within the clouds to avoid the kingdom’s airship and wyvern patrols.

“Captain Arwin, the hull is damaged, and the shield is almost down! It will take at least half a day to charge back to maximum!” One of the Night Rose crew reported. “Everyone repairs the ship immediately! We are leaving now before we receive more hits! Load the motors at maximum and hold on!” Arwin, the Night Rose Captain, ordered while trying to rescue what’s left off her airship. However, before she could do anything, they were already surrounded by small and medium-sized airship wyvern patrols that are backed-up with knights’ airship from the kingdom. Some of the small airships suddenly crashed on their side, causing an explosion, which further damaged their hull and shield even more. “Night Rose, this is your last warning! Surrender now, and we can promise quick and painless death for you! For those who can give the Captain and the information about the Bloodied Fang Bandit Group will be spared and will be given a chance to live as sl

“We cannot let this happen. We must save our captain.” The middle-aged man whispered to a few of his crewmates while on the deck, despite the attacks that their ship is continuously receiving. “But how can we do it, especially when he sees us as his family? He would rather go down with us than let us save him.” One of them replied to the middle-aged man, “What are you planning?” “I have a plan! I will knock him out, even when it sounds terrible, then I will pretend to be the captain and will surrender. I will plead that the men should not be executed or marked as a slave, but instead, be sent to the Shadowcoast.” The middle-aged man seriously said as he watched the other ship preparing for their next attack. “To the Shadowcoast?! That is even more horrible than a death sentence!” One of them suddenly gasped, baffled. “What kind of place is a Shadowcoast?” One of the new crewmembers asked while loading up the cannon. “It’s a frontier that

“Argh!” Arwin groaned after someone, splashing cold water on her, suddenly woke her up. She felt intense throbbing pain in her head. Half asleep, she slowly tried to stand up but immediately stumbled down and realized that it was because she was shackled on the wall. Arwin was chained, both her arms and feet, with a normal and rusty metal. She protested, “What the―” Before Arwin could see what else is wrong with her, someone suddenly hit her on the head, and the pain woke her up completely. She then finally realized that she wasn’t alone inside that reeking place. She started to look around and saw that there were at least twenty others, shackled, in the same manner as her in the dim room. The place looked like a cave with nothing but stones and metals binding them, but why couldn’t she get out? By now, her crewmate must’ve rescued- Her thoughts were cut off and soon turned to worries, where’s the rest of her crew? Their ship? She tried
The Night Rose Chapter 5
Arwin just watched carefully how the land was getting closer and closer. She had only heard rumors and some published facts about the dreaded Shadowcoast when she was a pirate, but she didn't know more than that. But now, a dark and terrifying island looms in front of her, waiting to eat her alive. The name came from the mountains that laid massive shadow to the never-ending coast. Otherwise, she didn't know what to expect from the place and what she would find out from there. "Oh right, as we have traditions here, every one of you will get one pistol and one close combat weapon when we get to the island. We will also provide you a limited amount of ammunition, but if you shoot at the airship, our guards with rifles will happily pick you up from the coast and use you as a ranged practice.” The guards smirked as he continued, “But of course, as we are in prison, we will make it more exciting to you, and everyone one of you has to draw two sets of paper

Some of the prisoners left. They thought that they could survive without hearing any advice and guidance while some were trying to find local contacts that could benefit them in their survival in the continent. "I see. The five of you are the only lucky ones who decided to stay and listen to the poor old me. Congratulations! You will be keeping your life for a little longer!" he said with fake happiness while clapping his hands. He then continued, "As I said, I'm Sam, and now when those who wanted to leave are gone, we can start our exploration from the bottom of this city.", Sam said and started to explain the city's history from the beginning to the current day. He explained how the first people came to the continent and how there was a history of numerous massive fights for the ownership of the continent. Then he started from the natives and local fauna around them and how the kingdoms were stuck in the dilemma of choosing between the people and royalties
