Ramon accepted the electric shaver, returning to the bathroom to get rid of that itchy beard and return to have that same perfect shave he always has. When the blonde got presented his weapon, he took it in his hands... How was he able to find his weapon ﹖It was secured in the house for the kids to never be able to find them, but it seems that he managed to find them, how ﹖He has to know that...

When he was taken at the gallery by his daughters, he saw his brother and oh, he was so happy to see him as he just Run into his hug

“ 𝙸'𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝚋𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛!!... 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝, 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚜𝚘 𝚐𝚕𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙, 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚏𝚎𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚟𝚎𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗'𝚝 𝚗𝚎𝚊𝚛... 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚜𝚘 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖. ”

Says Ramon as he just sit at the table, his stomach roaring with the strenght of a bunch of lions, but he couldn't help but listen to Minnie's comment... 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧, 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦... 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐞 ﹖

His eyes moved towards the Captain as he tils his head with interest. She wanted to save him, like he was someone she knew....

He will thank her later, as his strenghts were starting to be smaller, he needed the food.

When Ramon finished his shower, he found a fresh set of clothes had been left for him to change into. The Doc offers Ramon an electric shaver if he wanted to tackle the beard he was growing, and returned his guns to him. Once Ramon was done in Doc's office, Tily and Lumlight lead their father to the galley so he can eat something.

When they entered the galley, they would find Rayman conversing quietly with the Black Lum. Rayman looked upset about something while The Black Lum looked defeated. Minnie cleared her throat to alert the two of the newcomers, causing them to silence themselves. Rayman got up from his seat and goes to give his brother a hug. He was dressed differently, not in his purple hoodie. A red bandanna tied around his head and fingerless gloves on his hands that looked similar to Raymona's!

"Glad to see you're okay, brother! When we found out that the robot pirates managed to get their claws on you, we worked as hard and quickly as we could to try to figure out where they were going to take you.

Lumlight's navigation helped us get here. Never steered off course once thanks to her. Tily and Theo both have been a great help too. Theo's grown really fond of Doc and Bertha. He's become like The Doc's apprentice. Grute's taken Tily under his. Lumlight? Never too far from me or the captain.

Minnie? Can you get him some stew?"

"Of course, dear. Go ahead and sit yourselves at the table and I'll get you all some stew. Made it extra hearty when I heard the Captain managed to save Ramon!"

Tily guides Ramon over to the table by his hand. She sits beside him at the table and across from The Black Lum. Lumlight sits herself down on the table next to her father. Minnie places bowls of stew for Ramon and Tily, giving lumlight a smaller helping. There was also bread for Ramon to dip into the stew, and a mug of fresh, clean water.

The Black Lum had a strange fizzing beverage in her hand, and it smelled strongly of starfruit.

Rayman continued to hug his daughter, more, oh he missed her so much, but his eyes went toward the captain when he hears her voice once more to call the name of Lumlight, she was here too!! Oh his two little precious were here!!

Says Rayman as his eyes show panic, he was terrified of what can happen, of what it could happen to her....

He wasn't there.... he was missing and she was missing now too.

Tily didn't mind the feel of her father's hands. She snuggled closer to her father as they continued to embrace. She was happy he was back in their lives. The Black Lum calls to Lumlight, telling her that it's safe to show herself. The lum exited the captain's quarters and quickly flew to her father, giving his cheek a hug. His kids were safe.

Tily and Lumlight look to their father as he began asking his questions.

"We're okay. The crew of The Dark's Dare are very nice. Uncle Grute and Aunt Minnie have been taking care of us since you were gone. So have The Doc and Bertha! The crew has been like a family to us! We came here because we wanted to help rescue you! We help out with the ship! I'm a cabin girl and Lumlight's the navigator! We haven't gotten lost! We might not have arrived here on time if it wasn't for her!"

Tily and Lumlight looked to each other for a moment when it came to the question about their mother. The two girls looked to Black Lum as she headed below the deck and into the ship. Grute watched her and Rayman could see him give a sigh and shake his head. He looked disappointed for some reason. The girls returned their gaze to their father.

Tily seems to think about her answer and all she manages to do is shrug. Lumlight, on the other hand, decided to be more direct with hers.

"Mommy's... not here. She's been... different... since you've been gone."

[limblcss]

Allowing Lumlight to be resting on top of his head, the blonde continued to spoonfeed the child, his smile gentle as he with careful helped Theo to finish his food, before he could listen to Doc.

True, the eating without feeling sick it was for being too worried, oh poor dear, he was worried for him, and he was sure that the rest was too, even tho he was weak still for that whole month, the twin of the hero just spoke once more with that smile of his.

“ 𝚂𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚜𝚊𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞. 𝙸𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜𝚗'𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚎𝚝 𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚗... 𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐... 𝙽𝚘𝚠 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚊 𝚋𝚒𝚝, 𝙸 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚗 𝚖𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏, 𝙻𝚞𝚖𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎, 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚕𝚢 ”

Says ramon as he offers his hand to the little silver Lum to let her stay with the others as he goes to the showers and relax, taking a shower that seemed to be like 30 minutes long as he just gets out from there with his hair clean and being himself again, with the exception of his beard...

“ 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚐𝚘 𝚝𝚘 𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚍𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎, 𝚔𝚒𝚍𝚜 ﹖”

Asked him as he gets more comfortable in his fresh clean clothes... for now, Doc, Grute and the captain with his kids... there ais someone else that he needs to see too ﹖

Lumlight rested herself on the top of her father's head as he began to try and feed Theo. The hybrid child seems to respond to Ramon's voice and perks up almost immediately. He rubs his head against his father's hand as he continued to caress it. He had been wearing the neckscarf Raymona had given Ramon tied around his head.

The Doc breathed a sigh of relief as Theo slowly began to eat the spoonfuls of broth. Tily brought a blanket over and helped cover Theo up to keep him warm.

"Dad... You're here...! You're really here! Tily said there was nothing to worry about but I couldn't help it. It's been so hard to eat without feeling sick."

"That can happen when you worry a little too much." The Doc chuckled. "I'm just glad to see you eating again. Take it slowly, okay kiddo? Ramon? You look like you could really use a shower and a meal or two of your own. Go ahead and use the ones over there. I'll have Minnie bring you some fresh clothes and I'll get you some towels. There should be soap and shampoos in there already. Captain made sure to bring you your things. I've been keeping your guns safe for you.

Theo will be fine in the mean time. Go get yourself cleaned up and fed."

[limblcss]

The blonde continued to hug his daughter, his eyes softened as he hears Grute calls for Lumlight, watching her appear made his smile to grow stronger and stronger, loving each and every second of it... two of his three kids were okay!! Now what Lumlight said, made him to be a bit in panic as he caressed Lumlight softly in his palm, Theo was not doing very good ﹖Was he okay ﹖Please he is not thinking in the worst, is he ﹖

Ramon looks at Lumlight with very soft eyes, this wasn't real, but he allowed his kids to guide him, as his eyes went to the captain, she went to another room, so it wasn't going to check on Theo... but what could have happened ﹖

once they have arrived to the doc's office, Ramon knocked on the door, before he pproached to Theo slowly, caressing his head with careful.

Holding the spoon from Doc and letting Theo know that he was there

“ 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚘... 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎... 𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎, 𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝚊 𝚋𝚒𝚝... 𝙻𝚎𝚝 𝚖𝚎 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍, 𝚢𝚎𝚜 ﹖”

Asked Ramon softly as he just tries to spoonfeed Theo.

Tily continued to hug onto her father, snuggling her cheek into his chest. She was so happy to see he was okay. When Ramon asked about the siblings, Grute called out for Lumlight, telling her it was safe to show herself. The tiny lum exited the captain's quarters and flew over to her father. She gave Ramon's cheek a hug.

"Daddy! You're okay! We got so scared when you didn't come back home! Big brother... He's not doing good. He hasn't done much since you vanished. He's down at Doc's Infirmary right now. I can take you there.

Is it okay?"

Lumlight turned to The Black Lum, and the captain nodded. The lum motioned with her hand for Ramon to follow, and Tily took her father's hand to guide him as well. The Black Lum accompanied him as well, but would turn into a different room. The kitchens, and Ramon could see Minnie inside preparing something in a cookpot. The children continued to lead Ramon further down into the ship until they entered Doc's workshop. They could see Bertha carry over a bowl and spoon to the infermary, and there is where they find Theo with The Doc. The Doc was trying to hold Theo upright and took the spoon from Bertha to try and spoonfeed the child some broth.

"C'mon Theo. Will you please eat something? The captain's down in the port right now and I know she'll bring your dad back safe and sound. You'll be seeing him real soon, I know it."

[limblcss]

Rayman just hanged his head with sadness they were going to a place where he will be worked to dead... He knows it, as tears start to fall down his eyes, the hero was mentally saying good bye to his family, his heart feeling the pain of the loss...

but he perks up at those words... his kids are waiting for him, they are waiting for him!! Oh he is not alone, even tho Grute is there, but another question rises up, 𝘩𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑠𝘩𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝐻𝐼𝑆 𝑘𝑖𝑑𝑠 ﹖

That's the question that he needs answers... how does she knows that ﹖She has to be someone they know if they are with her, that is for sure!!

Once they are on the ship, the hero just hears her and just smiles widely as he hugs his daughter, caressing her head with his gloveless hands, his skin wasn't soft but rought for the horrible treatment hat he had, calloused and injured hands wen throught the hair of his child as he smiled with a lot of love to his duaghter, they were here, he could see them again, or at least Tily... where was Lumlight ﹖

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚﹖𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 ﹖

“ 𝙷𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 ﹖𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢 ﹖𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 ﹖”

A lot of questions came throught his mind as he just looked around. He needed answers on everything, he was so confused and lost and scared for everything, please that nothing happened to her... that's all he asks!!

The Black Lum turned her attention to the coffer of coins and jewels. With Grute's assistance, she made sure the Admiral was paid. Every single gold coin accounted for, the admiral waved a hand to dismiss them. Grute closed the coffer and picked it up, ready to head back for the ship.

The Black Lum leads, allowing Rayman to walk beside her as Grute guarded them from behind. He could hear the captain speak to him in a hushed tone.

"Once we get you onboard The Dark's Dare, we'll be in the clear. You're safe now, Rayman. The kids are waiting for you."

They made their way onboard the massive ship, Rayman could hear a familiar voice call out to him from above.

"RAY-DAD!!!"

It was Tily! Tily was up in the crow's nest and began to leap out of it, swinging from the ropes and leaping from the masts with her arms extended to tackle Rayman into a hug. When she hugged him upon impact, her feet wrapped around his body in the same fashion she does when she's excited to see him.

[limblcss]

Ramon's growling ended as soon as he heard the voice of Grute to play along with them and that his children are waiting for him, what does that mean ﹖That they are where they are taking him ﹖

𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭, 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧��𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧... 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧... 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐎!! 𝐎𝐡! 𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡!!

But he was a good actor, and for that, he remained with the same furious face, even tho his feelings were different, he was told to play along, so he is doing, exactly that.

When Ramon went to the ship, and heard that voice, he smiled and looked up with his ahans outstreched to get closer to Tily, welcoming her into his hug once she hugged him, making him fall on the floor with a thud.

“ 𝚃𝚒𝚕𝚢!! 𝙼𝚢 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎!! 𝙼𝚢 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎, 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 ﹖𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚘 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝙻𝚞𝚖𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 ﹖𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 ﹖ 𝙳𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚜𝚑𝚎 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 ﹖”

The Black Lum stood stoic as Ramon began to plead with her for freedom once again. Grute let out a cold chuckle as he reached his hand into the cage to pull Ramon out by the hood of his red hoodie. He set the limbless down in front of him.

"How do you plan to get there? You are far from home lad, very far. Get walkin'. You're coming with us. The Dark's Dare is your new home now."

Grute grabbed the coffer, standing behind Ramon and started forcing him to move in the direction of The Black Lum's ship, as they walked, Grute leaned down and whispered to Ramon.

"Play along if you want any chance to get back home. Your children are waiting for you."

Grute continued to stay behind Ramon, playing the part of enforcer that wouldn't allow their new slave to try and escape. The Black Lum lead the way and guided them to a massive flying ship. It was similar to The Buccaneer, but not as intimidating to look at on the outside. As they boarded the ship, Ramon could see something swinging and flipping across the masts of the ship. He could hear a familiar voice cry out to him.

"RAY-DAD!!!"

When he looked up, Ramon would see Tily had launched herself from the mast and was holding her arms out to grab him as she fell. She tackles her father and hugs him tight with her feet wrapping around him too. Just like she always did when she was so happy to see him.

[limblcss]

The blonde cought the bread and started to eat from it, for some reason something was amiss, why was Grute with this captain, was he hired for this ﹖But the way that Razordbeard talked about him, like he was nothing than a mere object, made the hero to look at the floor, from a hero to just a mere thing... good thing that he is seeing a known face, that brings him comfort, if only a little.

𝑇𝘩𝑒𝑛 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝘩𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑦, 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑔𝑜 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝘩𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 𝑛𝑜 𝑒𝑛𝑑... 𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑦 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝘩𝑖𝑚 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑑 ﹖𝑇𝘩𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑜 𝘩𝑢𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔... 𝑠𝑜 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔.

But he didn't same much but eat the bread in silence, trying his hardest to not cry for everything that has been happening... 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆.

Rayman let out a gasp when his ring was almost ripped off his finger, he made as mush strenght as he could to just close his fist and not let him have it. But he was weakened, he was inside asking to Polokus to help him, to let him see his family even if it's one last time...

the threat against razorbear tho wasn't something that hewas opsed to, he wanted to be out see his family one more time just one last time befoe everything... Nothing much, just that, really.

“ ... 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚖𝚎, 𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎.... 𝙸 𝚋𝚎𝚐. ”

The Black Lum would motion for Grute to approach. He sets the coffer down close to them and pulls out a sack, handing it off to the captain. She took a moment to fish through it and pulls out a bread loaf. She breaks the loaf in half and offers one to Rayman, putting the other back into the sack and handing it off to Grute as Razorbeard wandered over.

"I see my newest stock interests you. Behold, the legendary hero of the Glade of Dreams: Rayman. Blessed by the very nymphs that run the place, he is quite a powerful force to be reckoned with. Strong, resilient, and lots of stamina to boot. He will make a fine edition to your crew. I know you are always looking for prime working men."

The Black Lum suddenly let out a scoff like laugh. Was she mocking him? She rests her hands behind her back as she stood stoicly

"Admiral. Word spreading of you having a legendary hero, and you advertising him as being, in your own words "Strong, resilient, and lots of stamina to boot..." While he looks like he could keel over and die at any moment from starvation and fatigue? You're lucky that he has such a name around him or I'd have you shot for false advertising.

Though, I do have use for him aboard my crew. Let's talk business, shall we? I have a feeling that now I'm here you won't want to bargain with anyone else. Name your price."

"One. Million."

"Maybe if he was in top physical condition, but not in his current state. Two hundred Thousand."

"Eight Hundred."

"Five hundred."

"Eight hundred. Take it or leave it."

The Black Lum suddenly draws a flintlocke and aims it at Razorbeard's forehead. It was an energy gun. The same ones that could fry a pirate's system and take them offline permanently. She used her thumb to draw back the hammer, ready to fire.

"Five. Hundred. Thousand."

"...Pleasure doing business with you, Captain."

Razorbeard slowly backed away, not making any sudden movements. Once he had reached Rayman's cage, he unlocked it and released the limbless. His metal claws reached over to try and slide the wedding band right off his hand.

"You won't be needing this where you're going."

As the two struggled for possession of the ring, a shot was fired from behind Razorbeard. The Admiral suddenly drawing back, a scorch mark newly burnt into his shirt side. Turning slowly, they could see The Black Lum blowing smoke from the fired flintlocke.

"You know my terms, Admiral. I buy them as is. From the clothes on their backs down to the lint in their pockets. You already crossed me once.

Don't do it again if you value your chassis in one piece."

When Razordbeard reached for his ring, Ramon started to retreat his hand and with the other, push the admiral's hand away, using all his strength, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡, 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Threatened Ramon to the Admiral as he just heard the shoot, looking back at the captain, his eyes narrowing more and more, why was she interested in him keeping his wedding ring ﹖𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝘩𝑒�� 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝑡𝑜𝑜... 𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑏𝑒𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑑 ﹖

The Ex-Actor grabbed on the bars again, he will never see his family again at thisrate... he doesn't give up on the idea, even tho it breaks his entire heart and soul, he hopes that they are strong enough to hang in there, he will find his way to them, in one way or another. He will return home.

The Black Lum and Razorbeard turn to look at Ramon as he began to plead for his freedom. The Black Lum snaps her fingers and Grute brings over the coffer he was carrying. He sets it down beside The Black Lum and she lifts the lid. Thousands upon thousands of gold coins and jewels were inside.

Razorbeard's excitement began to grow as he began to approach. He reached in to take a coin into his hand. Upon inspecting the legitimacy, he flips it with his claw like thumb before catching it within his hand. The Black Lum's eyes showed an expression of pride, as if a smirk was there despite unseen.

"Let's talk business, Admiral. I would like to save you the hassle of putting him up for auction. I have use for this one, care to negotiate? I'll even start with an offer: One. Hundred. Thousand."

The crowds surrounding the auction let out another gasp, but in amazement, the offer seemed to shock even the admiral himself.

"You are offering all that up front!? This prisoner really did pique your interest!"

"Do we have a deal?"

"Damn right we have a deal!!! Pleasure doing business with you, my beautiful captain!"

The Black Lum began having Grute assist with counting up the correct number of coins to pay Razorbeard. The Admiral goes to the cage and unlocks it to release Ramon. The robot then began to reach over to the wedding band on his finger, trying to slide it right off his finger.

"I don't think you'll be needing that old thing anymore."

As the admiral fought with Ramon to remove the ring, Grute gets the captain's attention by calling her. He motions with his head over to the struggle. The Black Lum suddenly draws a type of flintlocke, firing some type of electrical charge shot at his feet.

A weapon capable of permanently shutting down the circuts of the Robot Pirate, a portable version of Ramon's gun from back home. The Black Lum's voice dropped to a deeper tone.

"I paid for him as is. That includes any article of clothes, down to the lint in his pockets. Don't you dare try to swindle me like that again."

The entire crowd froze in place, including Razorbeard himself. He began to very slowly back away from Ramon, allowing him to approach the one who had just bought him.

[limblcss]

The blonde looked at the Knaarem, oh he remembers that face!! He has seen that face! He remember Grute!! He was here to help him out with someone else!! He was sure of it, he looked at the floor, before looking at his ring, the ring that said that he was married that he was a man with a family and that family was waiting for him, he was not only sweaty and dirty, he has even with breard.... How did it end to be so badly....

He was looking at the captain called Black Lum, 𝑠𝘩𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑠, 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝘩𝑒 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑠 𝘩𝑖𝑚 ﹖𝑊𝑎𝑖𝑡... 𝑎 𝐿𝑖𝑚𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑓𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑒... 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑏𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝐺𝑙𝑎𝑑𝑒 ﹖No no, that would be impossible, but Grute is there and he is from the Glade, more specifically from the dessert of the Knaarens.

Line of thought cut short, when he felt the hand over his face, for a second he wanted to take hhis head back, away from the hand, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 ﹖

Then came the whisper, making Rayman to widen his eyes a bit, nodding his head a little, he survived to the stales foods, but he was starving, his body was hurting, but he was living... He was okay.

The crowds began to part as someone began to walk towards the slave market. Rayman could see a familiar, towering figure growling at people to get them to move away. Grute... It was Grute! Someone had come for him! What was he carrying? Something very heavy by the look of it. The crowds parted more and Rayman could see a figure walking forward with Grute following behind, carrying some kind of giant coffer.

The figure was dressed in dark pirate captain attire, a buccaneer's hat on her head with a white feather sticking out, the hem of the hat trimmed with gold embroidery, their flowing jacket and waistcoat also carried that intricate gold embroidery and wore a white frilled silk scarf around their neck, black gloves and black boots. Whoever this figure was, they appeared to have no arms or legs but the same detachable hands and feet as he does. There was only a black shadow with piercing yellow eyes for a face of this figure.

It was like he was staring at a shorter, pirate captain version of Mr. Dark.

The Black Lum herself.

Grute remained behind the figure as they began to approach Rayman's cage. The Black Lum slowly reached a hand towards his head. She gently rests a hand on his cheek, looking as if she was inspecting his face. Her hand moved, and she would brush it through Rayman's hair in a strangely familiar gesture. She leans in to whisper to Rayman so only they can hear.

"Did he hurt you?"

I don’t normally draw New Year art, but I was inspired to draw the lads sharing a toast ;)

I am SO ready for 2025 to be the Year of Rayman ;)

[limblcss]

the blonde looked at the captain, his hands grasping the bars of his cage as that hand careseed his hair again, his hair being full of grase and dirt, he couldn't shower in a whole month, his body was more thin, that strenght that he usually has was more away for the lack of good meals, for just eat enough to not die of dehidratation and starvation.

But when the captain started to talk, it was like some fmiliarity was there, why was Grute with that Captain ﹖What was happening ﹖He doesn't know but he didn't care.... he was happy to see a familiar face.

He didn't like how she was talking about him, like when he was in Eden.

His voice showed dispair, a bit of despair, that gesture it made him remember Mona, their wedding day, how happy he was, he wanted to return home!! He needed to see his family, hug them all. He needed it... as they needed him and he was sure of it.

The people would start to part as someone began to approach the slave auction. Ramon could see a towering Knaaren brute growling at people to get them to move, he appears to be carrying something in his hands. When the crowd parts enough, Ramon can see a mysterious figure approach followed by that knaaren carrying a large coffer with him.

The figure was dressed in dark pirate captain attire, a buccaneer's hat on her head with a white feather sticking out, the hem of the hat trimmed with gold embroidery, their flowing jacket and waistcoat also carried that intricate gold embroidery and wore a white frilled silk scarf around their neck, black gloves and black boots. Whoever this figure was, they appeared to have no arms or legs but the same detachable hands and feet as he does. There was only a black shadow with piercing yellow eyes for a face of this figure.

This must be The Black Lum.

The captain would try to reach for Ramon to touch his face, but would hesitate as he retreated. Instead of pulling back, they slowly reached over and ran a hand gently through his hair, then down to his cheek. There is where it would rest before the captain just stares at him, almost like they were inspecting him. He could see the figure nod and slip a wink to him. They slowly pull an apple out of thin air and gives it a polish against their shirt before offering it to him. The first food he's had that wasn't just stale bread and water.

The Admiral Razorbeard made his way over and bowed graciously to The Black Lum, tipping his hat and all.

"The Black Lum herself. You honor me with your presence. I was rather hoping my goods would interest you. He's a fine one. Ruthless, cruel, a heartless killer and a very hard worker. I have a feeling he will serve your crew well for the right price."

The Black Lum stood stoicly with her hands resting behind her back. She turns to look at Ramon for a moment then back to the Admiral.

"Do you take me for a fool? Look at the condition he's in. Do you not feed him? Not feeding your slaves that you intend to try to market for top coin and allowing them to wither or fall ill, demonstrates to me that you have no idea how to the slave market really works. You want to market a hard working slave? Why would you display him like THIS,

you inept imbecile."

The crowd gasp in horror as they continue to watch. Razorbeard recoils a little and removes his hat anxiously.

"No offense intended, dear captain..."

Oh if he could he would have done that long time ago, he had no mercy inside his soul, not anymore, not when he was kidnapped and used again, th vicious cycle of hate is repeating itself.

The days passed and he just ate the food for spite the pirates, but of couse he just showed them his middle finger and made visual threats that he will kill them all.

The month went out and he was being sold... really, sold... with a signal that said ruthless killer, this was now insulting to him, when his face was grabbed and his chin touched he did his best to bite the hands off him.

“ 𝚃𝙾𝚄𝙲𝙷 𝙼𝙴 𝙸 𝙵𝚄𝙲𝙺𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙴 𝚈𝙾𝚄!! ”

He has lost the warmness in his voice, eyes cold as the eyes, same with his heart. Closing it to protect himself.

Then everyone left out of fear of the Black Lum, he growled more. retreating his head from the hands at first he didn't trust nodoby not now... 𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧...

“ ... 𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚟𝚎. 𝙳𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚝𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚑 𝙼- ”

His voice got cut in mid setence, he for some reason felt a known presence... squinting his eyes, the blonde tried to stay calm, but how those hands ran throught his hair, he just leaned into them, with a gesture it was like he wasn't the same man a moment ago.

{Starter for @limblcss's Ramon}

Raymona had sent Ramon to run some errands for her while she took care of some chores back at home and looked after their three children. As he began the journey to return home, he could overhear the bushes on the path rustling, and even a stick cracking. Next thing he knew, he was ambushed by a group of Robot Pirates. Tossing him into a cage, they drag it to one of their flying boats to transport onto the pirate prison ship, The Buccaneer. His cage was dragged to a cell, where he was relocated. Free from the cage, but now in a larger cell with no way to escape.

He must have been in that cell for weeks. Any notches left in the cell would show it had been almost an entire month since he's been captured. Did anyone even know where he was? What would become of his family? Raymona, their children, his brothers? Would he ever see them again?

He felt the ship quake a little as it docked. Two Robot Pirates would enter his cell to place him back inside the cage and dragged him out of the ship. He was now in a massive trading port city. He was far from the glade, his home. It was like he was torn away from the life he knew all over again. Like a cruel cycle. The cage was set near some type of stage. There were various creatures with signs hanging from their necks.

Slaves. He was at a slave auction. The Admiral Razorbeard places a sign near his cage, showing that Ramon was going to be auctioned. Many strange humanoids he's never seen before would gawk and laugh. Commenting on how he was a clone or copy of Rayman, wondering if his cost would be more given he was being advertised as a ruthless killer. A few interested buyers would put their hands on him, holding his head by the chin to inspect his face and head. They would be interested in the limbless features too.

Everyone would freeze and turn to the port as they see an extravagant air ship dock at the port. They began to gossip amongst themselves.

"The Black Lum!" "The Black Lum has arrived!" "Something must be on sale that caught her interest!" "The richest captain!" "They say she can use lums to possess you like a puppet!" "I hear her very gaze can cause you to combust!"

Razorbeard's attention turned to the ship as well, he let out a dark chuckle as he began to rub his hands in a greedy fashion.

[limblcss]

The hero was just in a cage like an animal, barely fed and completly messed up, he could not fight back, he was both, weak and too much hurt to do something, he couldn't move himself like that, at leat not now...

The blonde had to endure that, being in a cage and being treated as a circus show... Oh he hated this so so much, but he can't hurt anybody, and he wasn't violent, not at all. He needs to get out of here and fast... But how ﹖He didn't know, he could just hope for the best as he was just wanting to be able to see his family again, he didn't want another thing than that.

His eyes saddened as he didn't have the strenght to look away from the eyes that looked at him... But now the rumors got at him, he was not only away from his home but being bought as a slave, it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair at all he just wanted and needed to return, but when that mysterious pirate came he just looked at the floor, defeated...

“ 𝙸'𝚖 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎... 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚎, 𝙼𝚘𝚗𝚊... ”

Said him in a weak voice. Trying to not cry but it was difficult not to cry when he was in such a vulnerable state.

{Starter for @limblcss' Game Rayman}

The hero of the glade had been captured by the robot pirates once more. Once again he was kept imprisoned on the pirate prison ship, but in a different cell. There was no way for him to escape this time, even with his powers still being active. The days turned to weeks before the ship would finally dock itself.

The pirates locked Rayman in a cage to transport him out of that cell, they dragged it across the ground as they took him outside. He was in some kind of port city. A massive trading hub of some kind far away from the glade and his home. It was a land so unfamiliar to him. The pirates dragged his cage over to a stage of some kind. He could see rows of different species lined up with signs hanging from their necks. This was a slave auction. The Admiral Razorbeard let out a cruel chuckle as he set a sign down next to Rayman's cage. It was a notice of sale. He was being put up for auction, and it seems to attract a large crowd that began to inspect him. Some commenting on how strange he looked, some of the others commenting on how a hero like him would fetch a hefty price.

Hours he had to endure of being displayed like some kind of freak of nature or a desirable trophy. The crowds suddenly hushed as they see a massive, fancy airship of some kind dock in the port. Everyone began to utter the name "The Black Lum." Gossiping about how "The Black Lum must be highly interested at something being put for sale at the port if she's arrived." This even seems to have gained Razorbeard's interest as he began to rub his hands together in a greedy fashion.
