{{town|Cove|noname=}} Unnamed narrator: When you become powerful, you must keep in mind that there are some who will try to go against your power. [[Bidley]] was not prepared morally that, on obtaining the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]], he would become [[Pirate King]]. Multiple enemies have joined their forces to depose the new-sprung King and take the Horn. Will [[Bidley]] be able to resist? Or will he pass the trial with power and authority?

{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 | Day 1-1| [[Bidley]] and [[Jeremy]] were not able to quench their thirst for revenge. Defeated, [[Casmetra]] dropped everything and leapt into a portal which instantly collapsed. The witch was never to be seen in the [[Regna]] again. [[Bidley]] took the horn, yet he could not figure out what exactly was [[Casmetra]] trying to accomplish with it.<p>However, after a week of fruitless search for [[Casmetra]], they abandoned their attempts, as [[Bidley]], for all intents and purposes, was the [[Pirate King]] now.<p>At that point [[Regna]] was not a recognized state anymore, although it was still occasionally talked of as “[[Empire of the Endless Ocean]]”. Thing is, after old [[Hareck IX]] passed, his heir failed to step forward. A power struggle commenced among pirates. During turmoil, several [[captain]]s had proved to be strong enough to seize the reign of vast territories, but chaos resumed once they perished or lost their edge.<p>Here and now, [[Bidley]] was the King, and this word meant not only terror and reverence, but also lots of hatred. Owning an ancient powerful artifact, he could disregard his former peers, the mere seafarers; for fear of the unknown was all he felt.<p>The only danger looming was in the seas.</p>}}
{{TErow| 1 | Day 1-2| It was a clear day when [[Bidley]] and his team were on a coast, in a coastal fortress. The [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]] was as if habitually hanging on the belt and the [[Pirate King]] never parted with it. Suddenly, one of the sailors came running. He was afraid of something and had some scroll in his hands.<p>'''Sailor:''' “Cap’n, cap’n! I swear by all the sea devils! It was a [[genie]]! The [[genie]] appeared and asked me to deliver it to you!”<p>[[Bidley]] dazedly took the scroll and unrolled it. It read:<p>{{Hn|Solmyr|image=Solmyr (HotA)|0=}}: ''“I salute you, [[Bidley Roberts]], the new [[Pirate King]]!''<p>''I am [[Solmyr]], a modest servant of [[Gavin Magnus]], the [[Immortal King]] of [[Bracada]]. My lord is disquieted by the news that you are in the possession of the legendary artifact - the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]]. We reckon than this item must be kept here, in [[Bracada]], under a close watch of the most powerful archmages. You are not someone who is familiar with sciences; you are more of a bandit and a thief. No doubt you will use the artifact in the name of evil: to obtain power and personal enrichment. We, the [[mage]]s of [[Bracada]], cannot stay uninvolved in the case when the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]] is in the hands of a greedy human.''<p>''Thuswise, I inform you that soon we will send an armed expedition, and I will head it. I shall not ask you to give us the artifact willingly as you will refuse in any case. Furthermore, I bring to your notice that the very [[Elemental Lords]] are willing to support my lord. They are also alarmed by the lie of the land, and the [[Water Lord]] is also enraged by your unpardonable destruction of the [[Coralgate]] fortress''.<p>''For the [[Pirate King]] from [[Solmyr]], a [[genie]] from [[Bracada]].”''<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “A smart [[genie]],” nodded [[Bidley]], “I won’t give away the Horn voluntarily, indeed. Come and take it.”</p>}}
{{TErow| 1 | Day 1-3| In some days [[Bidley]] gathered his people together with [[Jeremy]] and [[Tark]] when it became clear that the mages were getting prepared to strike.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Damned [[Xanthor]]!”, swore the [[Pirate King]], looking at the horizon through a spyglass.<p>{{Hn|Tark|0=}}: “[[Xanthor]]?”, asked [[Tark]] in surprise.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “The [[wizard]] whom I saved from the [[barbarian]] jail. It was he who told me about the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]] in gratitude for his salvation.”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “And now the same [[wizard]]s want to kill us for the Horn,” grinned [[Jeremy]], “Yes, the destiny sometimes can be as good at joking as me.”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “And these [[Elemental Lords]] get in the way all the time in this story,” added [[Bidley]] and took the spyglass away from his eye.<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “At least the [[Erathia]]ns are busy with the [[Kreegan]]s and don’t bother us,” concluded [[Jeremy]].<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “Fine, lads,” turned the [[Pirate King]] to the friends, “we need to get prepared for a hard war. It seems that [[Bracada]] decided to use all the powers they have against us. We haven’t had such a strong enemy yet but the reinforcements from Regna will arrive soon enough.”</p>}}

{{TErow| 2 | Day 2| Some unsettling news arrived.<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Dear little brother, do you remember [[Dargem]]?” [[Jeremy]] asks his brother.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “That unlucky fellow who took me prisoner? Is he alive yet?”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “Yes, he is. So, he gathered some ridiculous army of mercenaries and captains who dislike you. Well, in short, it turned out that the reinforcements from [[Regna]] came over to him.”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “What a sudden turn,” said [[Bidley]] cold-bloodedly, “but it’s not everything, is it?”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “No,” [[Jeremy]] shook his head, “[[Dargem]] dragged other lovers of rare artifacts – [[Warlock]]s of [[Nighon]]. It seems he promised to give them the Horn but he only seeks for revenge. Although no one knows what the hell he really wants.”<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “So many are anxious about getting one Horn!” laughed the [[Pirate King]], “and how will they divide it between them even if they kill me?”<p>{{Hn|Jeremy|0=}}: “I bet they will start killing each other,” lifted his hands in dismay the younger brother.<p>{{Hn|Bidley|0=}}: “I hope they start killing each other earlier so that we may sneak up and cut their throats,” said [[Bidley]] grimly and bared his sabre.</p>}}
{{TErow| 5 | Day 5| By all appearances, [[Elemental Lords]] materialized their fortresses somewhere in the north. However, the [[Earth Lord]] had some difficulties. His army ought to have appeared under the ground and it found itself in the clutches of [[Nighon]] [[warlock]]s who did not expect this at all.}}
{{TErow| 8 | Day 8| The enemy’s army grows stronger every day. [[Tark]] thinks that that it would be a good tactical decision if we could confront the enemies with each other and make use of their weakening. [[Jeremy]] thinks that a better option would be to make a sudden strike on lodgements of renegades and mercenaries to capture their weapons and resources.}}
{{TErow| 14 | Day 14| Yet, there remained some who did not sell themselves out to [[Dargem]]. Loyal [[captain]]s promise to send you a ship with supplies.}}
{{TErow| 28 | Day Supplies| The ship with supplies has arrived. The next ship is expected in one month.|freq=28|loc={{teal}}|effect= +5000 {{Gold}} [[Gold]]}}

| style="padding-left:7px; padding-right:5px;" | [[Bidley]] once again rubbed the Horn off with a piece of chamois, even though the artefact was spotless. So this is what people coveted so much. Ever since he got to know what the Horn was capable of, his self-confidence was sky high. Still, the thought of fearsome sea spirits obeying his orders made him shiver every now and then.
