It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

In a world of magic, legends, pirates, and mythical beings, Fiore is a kingdom long forgotten. Within the deep blue of its ocean, the Obsidian, lies a lone mermaid by the name of Lucy Heartfilia. She has run from home, a home overrun by her corrupt father, and now roams the seas with her best friend Plue, a shapeshifter in the form of a white dolphin. One day, she dares the forbidden, and climbs to land. There, she possesses the legs of a mortal, and can roam as something she is fated to never be. However, when Trackers kidnap Lucy and try to sell her for her magical abilities, she manages an escape and is now on the run from the Trackers, being put under a spell that no longer allows her tail to reappear until nightfall. Stuck in a foreign place with Landwalkers, she must return home to have the curse lifted by her father, but she needs help to do it. However, she didn't expect a pink-haired sea captain to be it.

But the pink-haired adventurer isn't in it for the money; no, that is a simple bonus. Natsu is in it for its wishful properties, able to grant a one and only wish to whoever takes it from the bearer. The only problem: he has no idea what it looks like, or where to find it. All he knows is that he needs it desperately. But, a beautiful maiden with the wish to return to her home in the middle of the Obsidian Sea, with Trackers after her thirsty for blood...that might be a good place to start. With an adventure full of sirens, fairies, cats and mages, the Captain and his Mermaid may just be caught by their enemies...while falling in love in the process.

* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me. "I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes. Scratch that. In the mask. He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong.

Eryx, a deckhand aboard the Iron Heart, has long accepted the harsh life at sea under the fearsome Captain Blackhart. Keeping to himself, Eryx knows his place-until the crew captures a mermaid. Stolen from the waves, the mermaid becomes a prisoner, unable to return to the ocean. Her presence is said to protect against sea monsters and sirens, but Blackhart sees only the wealth she could bring as a prize for the King of Kaldur. In exchange for her freedom, the mermaid strikes a deal with Blackhart: she will lead him to the long-lost wreck of the Fidelis, a ship fabled to carry unimaginable riches. The crew is eager for the promised treasure, but Eryx, the only one who notices the mermaid's quiet suffering, finds himself drawn to her. As he secretly tends to her wounds, a bond forms between them, forcing Eryx to question his role on the ship and his loyalty to a captain consumed by greed. As the Iron Heart sails ever closer to the treasure, the journey becomes perilous. The sea grows restless, its winds carrying whispers of curses and ancient powers. Eryx senses a danger far greater than the treasure they seek-a force stirring beneath the waves, tied to the mermaid and the Fidelis. Torn between his duty to the crew and his desire to help the mermaid escape, Eryx faces a choice that could doom them all. With the Iron Heart on the brink of finding the fabled wreck, Eryx must decide where his allegiance truly lies-whether some treasures are worth the cost of freedom. But the sea never forgets what it's lost, and it always demands a price.
