Ragging waves go wild as they beat against one another. But from under the water it sounds muffled, and there is nothing to be seen. Until the surface is broken.

A lonely plank of wood is drifting though the water. A young boy is gasping for air as he breaks the surface of the raging waves, grasping the edge of the board. His feet kicking desperately to not go back under.

A burning ship fills the view as the boy hold on for dear life as a wave knocks into him, pushing him under.

Below another suken ship is seen. As the boy regains his hold on the board, he gasps and cower into himself. Right in front of him a monstrous sound is heard as something goes under the waves.

The views shifts farther away from the boy showing him alone, with no one around, except for the monster under him that's larger than a whale. Then darkness.

"There was a time when children dreaded the night," a group of young kids surround the girl reading from her book by candlelight, "for the sleeping hours brought visions of horror." The book is called 'Tales Of Captain Crow'. A page of a huge green monster with tentacles and tusks is jumping towards a group of people. "The dark times when those terrible sea beasts would ravage our shore," the group of kids were eagerly listening, faces full of wonder, "and no ship was safe on the sea." The page is turned to show a warrior woman holding a spear and standing tall and proud. "But thanks to the hunters, those days are over. Today, these valiant warriors battle the beasts far beyond the horizon," the girl's voice is filled with pride as she reads on, "risking their lives to rid the seas of those nightmare creatures." A young boy listening let's out a gasp of awe. "And the greatest of the hunting ships is the Inevitable-."

A boy jumps up dressed like a pirate takes over. "And the greatest of the hunters is Captain Crow! Yar!" He hits the pillow and feathers fly as the group of kids yell out this 'Captain Crow's name while laughing. "I'm Captain Crow. Smelly old beast!"

A feather falls onto the girl's curly, puffy hair that has been reading as she gives the boy a mix of an amused and exasperated look. "Hey." She blows the feather off. "Who's reading this story?"

A door opens and a voice says, "Oh my word!" All the children look over and see the matron. "What's this? Lights-out was an hour ago."

The kids groan and get off the bed as she says, "Oh, you'll be the death of me. Come on. Along. Along, you pop. And, Miss Maisie," the matron approaches the dark girls candle-lit bed, "the king and queen care for you hunter orphans out of their kindness." Above the door she entered are pictures of the king and queen.

Maisie has a fake look of paying attention as the matron continues. "When you disobey the house rules, you disrespect them. So we're not going to have any more attempts now, are we?" She puts emphasis on attempts, and gives Maisie a pointed stare.

"Absolutely not." She responds with a blank voice.

The matron gives an unconvinced hum and walks away. The door closes and Maisie's book follows. She jumps off her bed and reaches under, grabbing a satchel filled with her things. She grabs her shoes and puts them in, looking up at a window that was above her bed. One of the other kids jumps into her bed and she tosses them a coin for them to be her.

She moves a dresser over to below the window and climbs up with ease. She turns to look down at the other kids. "Fair travels, me swabs." She grabs a hammer from a bucket the kids lifted to her and breaks open the window. She places the hammer back in and dramatically continues, "And remember, live a great life and die a great death."

As she leaves the kids say their byes. "Bye-bye, Maisie!" "We'll miss you!" "Tell Ms.Bandi we said hello!" "See you tomorrow!" She zips down a rope and rushes away from the orphanage, heading steadily towards the town, and the great open sea.
