Gutt knew he hated that mammoth.

He told himself it was because he destroyed his ship, his bounty, the loyalty of his crew- but he knew deep down it was something else.

The land lubber wouldn't stop going on about how nothing was going to stop him from getting home to his precious wife and daughter.

Nothing.

The fact filled him with fury. Those words- family, wife, daughter...they kept reminding him of something he'd rather have stayed forgotten.

And it had. For years; More than he could keep track off. Commanding a pirate ship, stealing bounty from all over the world and singing sea shanties (something that idiot Flynn was such a fan of)

At first it had been fun, drawing out the mammoth's misery, watching his eyes widen with worry while he held his daughter hostage but every second that passed filled him with more and more anger until he almost couldn't handle it.

But he was Gutt- The undisputed master of the sea. He could handle it.

Or at least, that's what he thought.

He also thought that he could forget what had happened all those years ago.

The family he had failed.

He also thought they would vanish again along with the mammoth's life.

And hee had been wrong.

But one thing he did know, though he would deny it, was that he really wished that it was his wife he'd seen, alive, instead of a siren ready to kill him.

That, he did know.
