As I was escorted through the castle I got looks from a few nobles who were aghast that a ‘filthy bum’ like me was allowed in the palace. “Hold on I want to make some small talk.” I said as the guard stopped on a dime.

“Okay sir.” The guard said.

“Hey Blueblood.” I called out “You still have that debt to the Pirate King?” I asked as the nobles all looked at him and me.

Blueblood looked devastated that I blurted that out when he was keeping that a secret for months all he could say was. “How did you know about that?”

I smirked. “Because the debt is being payed to me.” I laughed. “I’m the Pirate King, Kain Black Heart.” I shouted as the Nobles all looked at me worried as I knew that some of them had done things on my island kingdom that would probably cost them their houses.

“You’re The Pirate king?” He gulped as he backed away slowly.

“Don’t worry I’m not here for the debt yet.” I said as he sighed in relief.

“Then why are you here?” He asked.

“Business.” I respond with and walked with the guard to my appointment with Celestia.

I trudged through the jungle looking for this temple that was on my map that we stole from that treasure ship. “Just a few more miles and we should be there” I said as my crew looked tired. “Okay take five.” I said as everybody sat down.

“Just what are we looking for?” Grata asked.

“I told you before the temple of Orisa.” I said looking at our map. “This should be the the place.” I said as I moved a few leaves and saw the temple. “Come on, the treasures await.” I said, all excited.

“Have you ever seen the captain this excited?” Jonah a Minotaur asked.

“No I haven't, this treasure must be something.” Greta said as I combed through the pages of the captain's journal.

As we got to the door I looked through the journal, ‘Just like uncharted’, I thought to myself as I saw the answer in front of me. “Just turn this dial here and Kronk pull the lever!” I called out to one of the griffons. ‘Hopefully it won't be like Emperors new groove where he pulls the wrong lever’, I thought to myself as the doors opened “Okay Greta, Kronk and me will head into the Temple while the rest of you stay out here guarding it and making sure that the doors don't close.” I say as we entered the temple.

As we entered the temple we saw the previous people that tried to get the Eye of Orisa. “Ugg.” Kronk said in disgust of the corpses.

“Lets focus on the treasure.” I said as Kronk triggered a trap which sent me to the wall.

“Captain!” Greta said as the trap reset and I was pulled off the spike’s from the wall. “Are you okay captain?” Greta asked as i got up.

“I’m fine, but that hurt.” I said rubbing my head. “Anyway let's head further in and ‘This’ time watch for traps I don’t want to be a part of a trap I can’t get up from.” I said as we explored further in tripping more traps and getting me hurt. “what did I say?” I asked at the last hurdle.

“Not to trigger traps?” Kronk said

“And what have you two been doing?” I asked

“Triggering traps?” Greta said.

“Correct now let...” I was cut off by me setting a trap and a giant hammer falling on me and crushing me. As the hammer retracted back into the ceiling. As I laid flat like a pancake like something out a loony toons cartoon as I started to inflate myself I simply muttered “Not...a...word.”

“Umm... Look there, is the Eye.” Greta said.

“Good.” I said standing up. “let's grab it and use it to find the treasure here.”

“I thought the eye was the treasure.” Greta asked.

“No I’m going to have to study the hieroglyphics here but the book says the Eye is a key to treasure.” I said as I looked in the book that got damaged by all the traps. “Okay if I’m reading this correctly it says ‘Here lies the saint Orisa guardian of Celestia and Luna’ who ever Celestia and Luna are they must have been important.” I said as Kronk and Greta looked at me.

“You don't know who Celestia is?” Greta said.

“I’m I supposed to?” I asked.

“She’s the princess of the Sun the one who raises the sun and the moon.” Greta said.

Before I could speak a voice i’ve never heard spoke out of nowhere. “Why have you disturbed my temple?”

“What?” I asked as the two griffons looked confused.

“We didn’t say anything?” Greta said confused.

“Not you the voice it said we disturbed the temple.”

“What voice?” they asked.

“Hold on.” I said. “Where are you?” I said out loud as they looked at me like I was crazy.

“I am in the eye.” The voice said as I walked towards the eye.

I grabbed the Eye as the temple began to shake. “What's going on?” Greta asked.

“The spirit of the Eye is Waking.” I said as a shadow flew out of the eye.

“You wish for the power of Orisa then you must prove yourself worthy Pirate.” The spirit of Orisa said as everybody could hear her now.

“Okay the two of you run I’ll deal with this ghost.” I said as Greta and Kronk bolted for the exit.

“Not so fast.” the Spirit said as the door closed on them.

“So what do you want Orisa?” I asked.

“I want you to die.” The spirit said as three shadow clones emerged from the eye.

“HA Joke’s on you i’m Immortal.” I said as the shadows attacked.

As my shadow stabbed my chest it I grabbed my cutlass and cut the head of my shadow casing it to disappear. “Guys just stab them they disappear”

“Easier said then-” Greta was cut off by me shooting both her and Kronk’s Shadows before being tackled by Kronk.

“KRONK WHAT THE HELL!” I shouted as Greta looked worried.

“Sorry captain, but you almost shot First mate Greta.” Kronk said.

“Yeah to get at the... there were no shadow clones were there?” I asked.

“Shadow clone?” Greta asked

“Greta now the eye’s just messing with...could you let me go?”I asked Kronk.

“Ah, sure boss.” he said getting off of me.

“Good, now.” I said taking the eye and throwing it in the air before shooting it.

“Captain what are you...” she was cut off by my kiss.

“Trust me I know what I’m doing.” I said as she began fanning herself. “Now let's find the real eye.” I said as a door in front of us opened. “My guess it’s there.” I said as Greta composed herself.

“How did you know it was a fake captain?” she asked.

“I didn’t I just know that when you didn’t hear or see the shadows that something was up with the eye so I destroyed it.” I said.

“But it could have trapped us in there forever.” Greta said.

“... Let’s move on.” I said not having a retort for that as we continued on through the temple.

---

“Hello Celestia.” I said greeting the Princess. “And I take it this is your daughter.” I said as said daughter choked on her drink.

“I am Princess Luna and I will not be insulted by a pirate like you.” She said as Celestia grabbed her collar.

“I apologise she’s still getting used to dealing with people again and add the fact that she doesn’t know our history.”

“Yes she doesn’t know of the nights we shared.” I joked as Celestia simply laughed.

“You dare defile our sister?” Luna screamed as she lunged at me.

“Luna down.” Celestia said pulling at Luna’s shirt collar. “Sorry again, she isn’t use to your jokes.” she said as Luna calmed down.

“Come on you know we’d be the power couple that would shake the world.” I said.

“Yes but our hearts wouldn’t be in it and you know what they say about a loveless marriage.” Celestia said as Luna just sat there aghast that her sister was so casual with the pirate.

“Anyway shall we start working on the rework treaties.” I said as we started to get to work.

---

Further in the temple we found the real eye “be on your guard” I said as I pulled out my pistol while Kronk and Greta pulled out their weapons.

“There is no need for those here.” the voice said as I rolled my eyes.

‘Not going to fool me’ I thought as greta asked. “What was that?”

“OH come on, now you can hear the ghost?” I said as a spirit showed up.

“You have done well to survive my test and for that I show you the eye of Orisa.” The spirit said as the temple moved to show us where the eye was as well as some hieroglyphics on the wall.

“Let's see.” I said pulling out the book of the captain again i translated the hieroglyphics on the wall. “It says how to use the Eye to find the tomb of Orisa.” I said.

“How do we use it?” Greta asked.

“Well give me a moment.” is aid as I went to the eye... “This is gonna hurt.” I said.

Greta asked, “why is it gonna-” but was cut off by me grabbing my left eye and ripping it out of my skull.

“GAH” I screamed as I jammed the eye of Orisa into my eye hole “If i’m right this my sight should return...now” I said as my sight returned. “well I’m glad that worked.” I said.

Greta looked at me concerned “Boss your left eye is glowing.” she said.

“Really?” I asked as she looked at me.

“It's gone now.” she said.

“Oh well now we should find-” I was cut off by a beam coming from my new eye and landing on a map. “Is that our?” I started.

“Island I think it is?” Kronk said finishing my thought.

“Okay then let's head back out and tell the others that we need to search our island” I said as the doors opened behind us.

---

As we made it back to our ship we were stopped by a unicorn “Excuse me but we’re going to have to inspect this ship.” He said.

“And why does our ship need to inspected?” I asked feeling like this was a set up.

“You’ve been randomly selected to have your ship inspected.” The Unicorn said as I realized this was a set up.

“Sure just let my crew be on board the ship we’re planning on leaving as soon as the inspection was over” he said as I realised there were minotaur guard surrounding us this probably was a trap.

“Unfortunately you and your crew are going to need stay off the ship while we inspect it.” The unicorn said as I figured out the trap.

“Okay we’ll get out of your way.” I said as I knew this was a trap but I couldn’t prove it and If I was wrong it could land us in big trouble that we didn’t want.

The inspector went on we all waited for an hour before he came off my ship. “We have finished the inspection.” The inspector said carrying out something. “Seize them!” It was a trap.

“What why?” I asked.

“Simple, you have illegal substances on your ship” The inspector said.

“What substances?” I asked.

“This.” he said as he lifted the bag.

“We’ve never...screw it.” I said as I shot the bag out his hand and shouted. “EVERYBODY ONTO THE SHIP!” as my crew ran for the ship.

The guard captain overheard my shot and raced to see what was the noise.” Whats going on here!” the guard captain asked.

“I don’t know we were just doing a routine of inspecting ships when we found some illegal substances on a ship we were about to bring the captain in for questioning when he used a mini cannon to fire the bag we found then ran to his ship with his crew.” The unicorn explained.

“Not on my watch.” The guard captain said as he motioned the other guards to close the sea gate.

“Aw crap they're locking us in.” I said. “FULL SAIL!” I ordered as the sail as we went full speed bursting through the gate as it attempted to close on us. “Okay now let's get out of here.” I said as we sailed .

---

“That should wrap this up.” I said stretching.

“Yes this was a very long session and we must get ready to have Luna raise the moon.” Celestia said as Luna looked at her all huffy.

“You don’t need to treat me like a child Sister.” Luna said all huffy.

“Anyway I should head off I have a show to see.” I said wanting to see what movies were playing at the theater.

“Oh before you go Princess Twilight wanted to meet you.” Celestia said.

“I’ll meet go meet her then” I said as I walked to the door. “So where should I meet her?” I asked, opening the door.

“Ponyville, She lives in Ponyville.” Celestia said.

“That backwards town last I heard they were hiding from Zebras because they were ‘different’ ” I said.

“...Yes Twilight wrote to me about that once” Celestia said face palming.

“Anyway tell her I’ll come tomorrow.” I said as I walked out.

---

As we made it to our island I took some time to admire what it had become since we found the little hidden island grotto, We had to hire then blindfold some carpenters and raid a few ships to get the money to pay them and when they were done we had to find people with connections to the black market and whom would keep our island a secret, while finally we had to find and hire women to work at our brothel. We also had more ships than the one I started off with and two more captains which was good I gathered the two other captains to have a meeting one was a unicorn and the other was minotaur. “Good to see you two I trust that the jobs I gave you went well?” I asked.

“Well we have a doctor now so I’d say my job went well.” Silver tongue said.

“And We have successfully raided two more Slaver ships and freed their slaves.” Stronghorn said.

“Did any of them join us?” I asked.

“A few, the rest wanted to head for land.” Stronghorn said.

“That’s good I don’t want to force the Pirate life on anybody that doesn’t want it.” I said. “Anyway with these we should have enough for a third crew. But who to be the captain?” I asked out loud.

“What about Greta?” Silver tongue asked.

“No I already offered her a ship, she said she wants to be at my side.” I said.

“Anyway I’ll find a captain later, captain Stronghorn my sources say that an Equestrian treasure ship will pass through the the cost here.” I said pointing at the map. “And Captain silver tongue you are going to bring supplies from the mainland of Equestria to our little island, the gold to pay for it will be placed on your ship.” I said handing him a list of supplies that we need.

“Captian Black heart sir why do we need to buy supplies when we can just steal them?” Silver tongue asked.

“Good question it's that this island ever gets found out we can fake innocence and just say it's a hidden colony.” I explained.

“Alright then anyway what are you going to be doing sir?” Silver Tongue asked.

“Simple I’m going to explore the island and find this tomb of Orisa.” I said.

“What's the tomb of Orisa?” Stronghorn asked.

“If it's what I hope it is a treasure trove and if it's not a good place to hide things.” I said walking out.

---

After about an hour of walking and looking at my compass I finally found the tomb of Orisa “Finally.” I said looking at the door, as I was looking at it I saw a small little hole that I placed my left eye over to see what was inside and a small spike came out of it and stabbed me in the eye of Orisa. “Gah, son of a -” I was cut off by the door opening. “Well I guess I just opened the door.” I said. The inside of the tomb was a lot like the temple only without the traps which was a plus if I was going to reuse it as an emergency bunker. As I headed deeper in I saw some structural differences compared to the temple. “So I’ll need to make a note of this and this here.” I said inspecting a rather weak wall.

“Why have you come here?” A voice said.

“For the treasure.” I said going back to the wall looking for anymore structural weaknesses.

“You are not like the others that invaded my temple you remind me of them.” The voice said.

“Who's them?” I asked.

“Celestia and Luna.” the voice said.

“Who is Luna?” I asked. “I was told who Celestia was by my crew and they didn’t know who Luna was.”

“Luna is guardian of the moon, the one who raises it and lowers it.” The voice said.

“I’m going to call bulshit on that my crew said that Celestia raises and lowers the moon.” I said as the tomb rumbled.

“What do you mean Celestia raises the moon.” The voice said.

“That's all I know now could you stop with the rumbling I need this building to act as a safe house for the non combatants if this island becomes attacked.” I said.

“This island should be protected.” The voice said.

“Well it was hard to find.” I said.

“That's because it was meant to be hard to find.” the voice said.

“And yet we still found it. Anyway is there treasure here because my crew is going to be disappointed if there isn’t.” I said.

“Just follow the hallway to find the ship Ventum.” The voice said as it took me to a hidden grotto where an old ship laid in wait.
“Yes this will do.” I said as I climbed down to see what was on the ship.
