The Saga of Captain Wereshark , Part 6 Content . After Neramo set the lizard bull on fire , the trident - wielding monstrosity charged . The Wereshark ordered us back onto the shoals , where the lizard beast ' s footing became treacherous . The Snowclaw twins filled the beast with arrows but could not bring it down , and I wished desperately for some of Hard - Scales ' s deadly poison . That ' s when Vimy sprang into action , sprinting so fast I could hardly follow . The beast swung at her with its trident , but Vimy slid under the strike and vaulted herself onto its back with no more effort than mounting a horse . Moments later the lizard bull had knives sticking out of both eyes . Blinded , all it could do was roar and swing its trident as Neramo set it once more aflame . With a fierce cry , the Wereshark called us to action . He and the Snowclaw twins fell upon the beast with axe and blade as I called down spells to aid and heal them from afar . Blinded , burning , and exhausted , the beast fell , but not before a blind swing tossed Baldor Snowclaw across the beach . Fortunately , the blow only hit his head , the hardest part of a Nord , and I ensured he didn ' t bleed for all that long . Beast dealt with , the Wereshark ordered us to search the huts one last time . We found absolutely nothing of value , just those egg shell fragments , and so the Wereshark wisely ordered us back to the boats . The growling hadn ' t stopped , which meant more massive lizard bulls lumbered through the trees . An island filled with empty huts and lizard bulls was not the place to risk our lives . There were other pearls to be clutched . We returned to the beach to await the others , and when we reached it , we found an army of glistening Sea Elves . They surrounded our boats and had Hard - Scales , Bugnose , and the Cliff Racer survivors hostage . I learned later the cat - hating bastards gutted One - Eyed Bahzi for sport . Cloaked from view , the Wereshark took our counsel . We couldn ' t leave Hard - Scales and Bugnose in chains , and besides , the Sea Elves had our ships . A Maormer warship was just visible anchored between the Pale Spirit , the Silver Arrow , and open sea , which would hinder our escape even if we did manage to somehow return to them . After a moment of consideration , the Wereshark made his decision . We would " negotiate . " He ordered us to wait in the shadows and to attack only if he shouted " Stendarr ' s Blood ! " Understand , dear reader , we are pirates , and all pirates know the fate of one taken by Sea Elves . Any of us would gladly embrace a death gutting those knife - ears over being carved up as a storm sacrifice . If the Sea Elves refused to negotiate , the Wereshark promised , more than a few of them would be floating home . The moment the Wereshark announced himself , over four dozen Sea Elves drew blades and bows and turned to him , milky eyes wide , but my captain sauntered toward them as if strolling down any crowded street in Abah ' s Landing . He kept his hands visible and away from his sword hilts , and the Sea Elves let him come . No doubt Hard - Scales had told them of our captain ' s many exploits , as instructed . When they moved to disarm him , the Wereshark made no protest as they removed his swords , and then the daggers from his boots , and the dagger from his belt , and those up his sleeves . That was when the slimmest of the Sea Elves , a pale - faced fool in golden armor that glinted in the sun , approached my captain and backhanded him across the face . The Wereshark spit at his feet and grinned wide . I glanced at Vimy , who rolled her eyes . Not a good start to the negotiations . Mighty Flicka chose that moment to charge from the forest with her Nords , all howling like a pack of enraged welwa s . Eight trident - swinging lizard bulls rushed the beach after them , chased by a gleeful Galena Two - Scars .
