| Pirates Ye Be Warned |
Prince Imrahil metes out the harsh justice of the Seas. MEFAwards 2008: Nominee – Races: Men: Gondor Drabbles |
| The pirates’ leader was finally found hiding in the dank bilge. Brought before Imrahil onto the blood-spattered deck, he bowed obsequiously, pulled a hip-flask from his motley garb of leather and tarnished brocade, and proffered it with a gap-toothed grin. The prince, unmoving, regarded him with stern contempt. “I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates. Whereas you have an appointment with the gallows.” A curt nod, and two Swan-knights marched the pirate to his surviving crew. Imrahil resolutely sheathed his sword, then said aloud, “The ship is too heavily damaged to keep. Collect anything useful, then torch it!” |
A/N: - The title is an inscription on a sign in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”, and Imrahil’s words to the pirate are quotes (the second slightly adapted) from the film. - It seems necessary to emphasise that this is not supposed to be a “real” cross-over; the featured pirate is not Captain Jack Sparrow. 20.10.06 B-drabble for Isabeau of Greenlea, who I know to be quite fond of the combination of Imrahil and pirates. |
