584. The Fate Of The Sidero Poem by Jaden Knight

They were said to be the most feared pirates
that ever sailed the seas
inspiring fear wherever their ship The Sidero went
leaving a trail of destruction in their wake

Commanded by Captain Chesed
a man with a heart black as midnight
it is said that he revelled in mindless slaughter
his clothes dyed with the blood of his enemies

There was no quarter given in their attacks
as almost all their victims were slain
only a couple were allowed to survive
to spread the terror of their ordeals

Then one night during a storm
the Sidero was sheltering under a cliff
it collapsed around them creating a cave
trapping them forever in darkness

It took some time for the crew to die
of disease and the injuries sustained
Captain Chesed was said to be the last to fall
his drawn cutlass still in his right hand

The legend is still spoken of by many
although the reign of terror has come to an end
people still picnic on the top of the cliff
completely oblivious to the Sediro buried far below
and her undead crew that now walk the cave
until the ending of the world
