Falling through a blanket of white petals, each fleeting past my delicate skin. I begin to fall faster and now the petals begin to slice my flesh and draw blood. I try to scream but no sound emits from my lips and the once pure white petals become stained crimson after tasting my blood.
They swirl violently and continue to hack into my body and soon enough each petal evolved into a weapon. From swords to spears, axes to arrows; in the end they became humanity's killing machines. I tremble in fear at realising how far we have come in life, we are nothing more than the dogs we claim not to be. Humans are still just petty monsters of nature deep down, none of us can deny that or claim that a God made us special. Look at us and you'll see that no God could ever exist, in reality we are the just the twisted ideas formed by a Devil.

Kouji twitched and writhed in his bed, screaming out words and lines from his nightmare. His cries were swiftly heard by Rui who set to work upon waking Kouji up from the night terror. "Kouji! Wake up!" Rui growled as he shook Kouji by the shoulders. The young pirate stirred but slapped Rui across the face. Rui squeaked but he turned his gaze upon Kouji and gripped him by the throat. "Don't do that ever again." Rui spoke in a calm and collect manner before realising Kouji. He left the boy to dress alone and headed up on deck.
The day was sunny with calm winds and all seemed quiet on the docks. The problems Rui's crew had been facing seemed to be taking a break in the meantime which allowed the pirates to relax. Rui was glad and soon Kouji appeared beside him. "Kouji, I see you're looking as beautiful as ever. Your wounds are healed now." Rui chuckled causing Kouji to blush. "Yeah... whatever." Kouji growled as he remained by his captain's side.
"Rui... do you think we can protect the rights of pirates? In the eyes of everyone we are just vermin, why do you continue to challenge those thoughts?" Kouji inquired as he looked at Rui. The captain laughed a little and sighed. "Because I want to make a new species of pirate, I want people to take a little interest within us rather than turn away without a second glance." Rui replied as he continued to look up at the sky.
Rui didn't want to remain the scum all his life, he wanted to be out there in the world and show that despite his condition he could become something great. Though he could not turn his back upon being a pirate, afterall he had been told he could never succeed as a pirate ever since he fell ill but so far he has shown that he could survive and even became captain. Though a captain needed a loyal crew and so far he had met Wei Ning and Asa Khan, both being powerful warriors showing potential but he still needed more to survive.
