Uh oh

Well, Heavens and I spent three days with 5 Days of Darkness. He taught us the basics of shadow style martial arts, which is always handy to know I suppose. Then we headed back to the dock to await pickup, but apparently our Captain had been detained for smuggling Firespice! A guy named Captain Panther told us the predicament, and said that since we were travelling with the captain that they were looking for us too.
 
Heavens and I decided to make a quick decision and agreed to travel a roundabout way back to the Blessed Isle on Captain Panther's ship. It will cost us an arm and a leg but hopefully we should get back safely - or so we thought.
 
We woke up one morning and the sun and sky were the wrong colour! Upon asking the Captain, he said that his roundabout way back to the Blessed Isle made a path through the underworld. I didn't like the sound of it, but there wasn't much we could do unfortunately. Then we couldn't reach the rest of the family in our usual dream meetings, so I feel like it was even more ominous.
 
And then? Something giant attacked the boat, and when Heavens and I came out onto the deck we saw the Captain fighting off a giant squid. Suddenly he had a mark on his forehead - the mark of a deathknight! This is really really bad, 5 days of darkness told us that the deathknights were more than likely responsible for mother's death!
 
When Heavens probed the captain about his mark, he said that he was given powers by his boss, but wouldn't say who his boss was. The captain complimented Heavens on his knowledge, saying that he didn't realise there was much written about Deathknights. The captain said he knew we had been dropped off on this plane and that we were movers and shakers. He said we wouldn't like how he knew we were dropped off, so he refrained from telling us. Could it be he knew because they had killed mother? I don't like this one bit.
 
We continued on our journey, but I had an ominous feeling that something bad was going to occur. And sure enough, we were met with a giant creature who had a castle built on his back as well as a fleet of ships. Captain Panther said it would be a good idea if we met his boss, who lived in the castle. So we have started sailing in that direction.
 
I'm worried that the Captain won't keep his word and return us to the Blessed Isle. I'm worried we won't see our family again. I'm worried that if these deathknights were able to kill mother so easily, that they will make short work of the rest of us. I don't like this at all, not one bit.
