Sao Feng’s Successor
Elizabeth stood in Sao Feng’s cabin, dressed like some sort of goddess. She was confused about why Sao Feng had wanted her, and terrified of what he planned to do to her.
“By this time tomorrow we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove, and you will be free… Calypso,” Sao Feng said.
“Excuse me?” asked Elizabeth.
“Not the name you fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have, but it is what we call you.”
Elizabeth chose her words carefully.
“We being who?”
“You confirm it,” Sao Feng said triumphantly.
“Confirm what?” Elizabeth asked. “You’ve told me nothing.”
“The Brethren Court, not I, the first Brethren Court, whose position I would have opposed, bound you to human form, so the rule of the seas would belong to men and not—“
“…Me,” said Elizabeth, choosing to encourage Sao Feng’s belief that she was Calypso. If she revealed that she was not Calypso, Sao Feng might kill her.
“But one such as you should never be anything less than what you are,” said Sao Feng.
“Pretty speech from a captor,” said Elizabeth, trying to sound more like she imagined a goddess would. “But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm.”
“Can I be blamed for my efforts?” asked Sao Feng. “All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be.”
“And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes,” Elizabeth spoke regally.
“I offer simply my desire.”
“And in return?” Elizabeth questioned.
“I would have your gifts, should you choose to give them,” Sao Feng declared.
“And if I should choose not?” asked Elizabeth.
Sao Feng grabbed her face and cried, “Then I will take your fury!”
He leaned in and kissed her roughly and passionately. Elizabeth could not deny that it was a good kiss, full of passion and desire, but it was not Will’s soft lips that were pressed against her own, and it made her feel disgusted.
She pushed Sao Feng away, just as a great blast rocked the ship. A cannonball burst through the side of the ship and through the captain’s cabin, sending splintered wood everywhere.
Sao Feng was flung against the far wall of the cabin as a large piece of wood skewered him through the chest.
Elizabeth, having not seen what happened to Sao Feng, called out for him. The reply sounded weak.
“Here… please.”
She rushed to him and kneeled beside him.
“With all nine pieces of eight, you will be free,” Sao Feng said, holding out his strange necklace to Elizabeth. “Take it! You are captain now. Go in my place to Shipwreck Cove.”
“Me?” Elizabeth asked incredulously.
How did he expect her to sail the ship and take the title as Pirate Lord of Singapore?
Suddenly, Tai Huang burst in.
“Captain the ship is taken, we cannot…” he stopped when he saw Sao Feng dying.
