Captain of the Guards- Prologue

Hi. I live here, in King Ember’s empire, a large kingdom that lives in peace, undisturbed. At least, we used to live in peace. The future for our empire is unclear now, ever since King Firebrand died. His kingdom is nearby, and the only other empire we know of. He and King Ember were good friends, and their friendship tied the two kingdoms together. But now, I’m not sure if this harmony will last.

King Ember told me about his meeting with the new king, King Slate. It is a custom for fellow kingdoms to do this--to express their sorrow for the loss of the old king and to welcome the new. King Ember told me that the new king did not seem grievous at all, and seemed merely to be pleased to become leader. Slate was also hostile, and had several bulky cats with his, apparently his guards. Slate requested for Ember to come to see him the following midday, bringing a few of his own cats.

Anyway, right now Ember is telling his cats about this. Five of us are to join him and see what Slate has to say. But I’m worried. I don’t think that this meeting is going to be a very pleasant one.

Anyway, our kingdom is a very easy target. We have developed no weapons whatsoever, and none of us, save me, have received any battle training. Why is it that I have? Because I am the entire empire’s only ninja spy. Yep, I always thought that my job was useless. I mean, why would an empire that has never even seen a trace of a war need a ninja spy? I always thought that my future was clear--that I would merely continue life as it was; hunting prey for myself, finding a nice cozy spot to sunbathe atop a den (cave, whatever), mingling with the cats every once in a while. But now, I’m not so sure its gonna be so clear anymore.

Ember’s finished telling the cats about King Firebrand’s mysterious death and Slate’s new leadership. I’d better go, or they might leave without me. Those cats couldn’t fight a mouse, and they need me. Ah, it’s a shame too, the sun is bright today. Oh, and by the way. The name’s Fleck.

Famous Pirates

Blackbeard, also Edward Teach:

Blackbeard is one of the most well-known pirates, and one of the most terrifying, at that. When he was about to pillage a ship, Blackbeard would light fuses in is large black beard to strike fear into the hearts of the crewmen abroad the fellow ship. He strapped pistols to himself as that he would be able to quickly kill. Many people that saw him thought that he was the devil!

Blackbeard was killed on November 22, 1718 in a fight with the Royal Navy of Britton. It took five gunshots and more then twenty sward cuts to kill him!

Calico Jack, also John Rackham:

Calico Jack was known by this name for the calico coats that he would ware. He has mostly been remembered by his work with two famous female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and was only moderately successful in his life as a pirate.

Calico Jack was caught by the British Navy. It was much for the Navy easier then it normally would have normally been. Calico Jack's crew was drunk, so the fight was lost quickly. On November 16, 1720, Jack was sentenced to being hung. This was carried out the next day.

Mary Read:

Mary Read was a tomboy girl who dressed and acted like a man. She ran away at 13 to sail away abroad a ship. A few years later, she enlisted in the army. It was then that she fell in love with a fellow soldier. Mary Read was wedded to him, began to dress like women did, and opened a hotel with her husband. Later, when her husband died, she went back to sea. Calico Jack then captured her ship and she befriended him and Anne Bonny. She became a pirate along with her two friends.

Many Read was captured with Calico Jack and Anne Bonny by the British Navy. She and Anne escaped being hung due to their possibly feigned pregnancy. They were both imprisoned instead. Mary died, still in prison, not long after this from sickness.

Anne Bonny:

Anne Bonny was a courageous, independent and headstrong woman. Like Mary Read, Anne Bonny married a young soldier by the name of James Bonny. She was stolen from her husband by Calico Jack, resulting to her unlikely friendship with him. She, Mary Read and Calico Jack. Anne Bonny disguised herself as a man and joined Jack in a life of piracy.

Later, as described above, the three of them were captured, and she and Marry said that they were pregnant (which was possibly untrue), and their hanging was postponed and they were put in prison until they gave birth. Anne Bonny mysteriously disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.

Cat Facts

• Purebred cats normally have amber eyes.

• Cats can see well in just a sixth of the light humans need to see in.

• Cats always will blink when you touch their hyper-sensitive whiskers.

•Milk is not good for cats, most are allergic to it. Feeding milk to your cat can cause him or her to have diarrhea. Cats can have Soy milk, Almond milk, and Coconut milk without any allergic reactions.

• Unneutered male cats may be less affectionate and may spray household objects such as couches and chairs and may also develop cheek jowls and thick neck skin.

•The sound of bats fluttering their wings sounds like a drum roll to a cat's ears.
