The main realm — A place where people just shows up:
The cadaverous Captain Hook and the calculating Captain Blackbeard.
Those two normaly fought against each other, but now fate had placed them together, and they were to stop two children from getting water over their head.
…
Karinne and Kylo hurried towards the mountain that were on the edge of winterland. They knew they would find what they where looking for there.
Or it was rather someone…
A eponymous pirate… or rather king of the seven seas.
Legend said that a ancient saber, and a giant creature with only one tooth, was the reason for the most fearsome being in the realms, known as…
«I can’t remember his name…» It came from Kylo.
«His name ain’t important.» Karinne reasured him, «Anyhow, I’m glad you don’t do, because we must not mention it.»
«Because he will come for us? Before we can get to him?»
«Yeah. And…»
«What’s the difference?»
Karinne shaked her head,
«If only you would…»
«Toothycat! Toothycat!» it came from Dora who walked ahead of them, «Toothycat, where are you?»
«Toothycat?» The two others repeated in unison, kind of shocked, «Who is that?»
«Its my talking buddy from wonderland, where my sister once lived.»
«And who is your sister?»
Dora turned around to look at them, kind of surprised,
«Why? It’s Alice, of course. I thought you knew that.»
«No… you never told us. But things aren’t what they seem like.»
«Stop right there!» it came from a dark voice further down road.
The children looked up to see two pirate-captains, blocking their way.
Dora vanished just in sight of them, and where nowhere to be seen, when they approched the pirates.
Captain Hook and Blackbeard.
«You will go no further!» Captain Hook continued, «It will only result in heartbreak and misery.»
«Who are you to stop us?» Karinne snapped back, «We are looking for the only one who might know something, how to bring people back from that other dimension…»
«We are also looking for my father…» Kylo cheamed in, «I haven’t seen him since the storm…»
«Then this is your lucky day!» Hook said, looking down at him. He recognized the boy, but because he was in disguise, Kylo couldn’t see who it was.
Captain Hook went by many names: When he was at the academy, he called himself for Captain Youthful, and to people who were close to him, he was Killian Jones. He was Kylos father, and he hadn’t been taken to that other realm. But at this moment, Kylo couldn’t see that it was him, and Killian didn’t want him to.
«This is your lucky day!» he repeated.
Kylo wrinkled his brow,
«What do you mean?»
«Just follow the trail up to the mountain, and the legend and the gold might be there, but watch out for…»
Karinne interrubted him,
«Thank you!» she said in a hurry, «We must be on our way.»
«Wait!» Kylo began, «Your voice, it’s sounds familliar. What’s your name?»
But Hook shook his head in silence,
«I promise you, son. You will find your father. In due time. Bye for now.»
The kids parted ways with them, and when they had walked one quarter of a mile or so, Miss Dora appeared again,
«What was that?» she asked, «The pirates, I mean?»
«How are we supposed to know?» Karinne answered.
«A distraction.» Kylo stated, «They wanted to lead us astray, but we won’t listen to them.»
Dora nodded,
«Right!»
But Karinne looked uncertain,
«Are you hundred procent sure?»
«Trust me, princess. Kylo know’s such things.»
And then they continued on untill they came to the bottom of the mountain where they could see a cave which they where to enter.
But Dora had a creepy smile on her face, as she slowly moved to walk behind them.
At the cave’s opening, she stopped, as the kids walked in.
«It’s the end of the path!» she thought, «This is where some real fun begins!»
