704. The Battle Of Caddock

The battle in Caddock harbour had lasted for several days with neither side wanting to retreat or give in the caravels of Lord Carabus repelling the continuous attacks of Prince Dracul's dragon horned ships Many of the decks were blazing with magical flames clouds of thick smoke rising to blanket the sky blocking out the sun and moon the burning deck providing most of the light as fireballs rain down from above Sails hung ragged and useless from their masts the wind would not save them from their fate the ships too close to each other to use the oars as the hulls started to split and break apart sending their sailors down to the depths No side could be considered to be the victor as both side had suffered huge losses Prince Dracul escaped under the cover of darkness with just a single ship remaining of his huge force never to threaten Caddock harbour again
