Arrival at the pirate island

We're still on our way to pirate island.
We're almost there and we'll probably stay there for a while.

There already are a lot of pirates in their own ships close to ours.
None of them attack us. And we also don't attack them. I'm not sure why.
Maybe everyone already knows how dangerous we are.
I've also heard it's common not to attack each other close to that island.

I'm sitting around on the ship. Nothing has to be done right now, so I can just relax. In times like this I start to miss my friends.
But before I think too much, Frederik is already coming.
At least he's there.

Hey!

Hey.

Suddenly some huge central door opens. I never knew what was behind it.
And some guy comes out.
He's very muscular, has black hair, a huge beard and pretty dark skin.

Oh, I haven't seem Moldero in a while.

Moldero?

After all this time you still don't know our captain?

No. I never heard of him. But he looks very strong already.

Yeah, his fighting abilities are outstanding, he's very rigorous, intelligent and cooperative.
No wonder this ship is one of the most powerful ones in these waters.
Oh, and I probably shouldn't forget to mention his addiction to power.

Good to know. I'm already looking forward to get to know him in person one day.

Oh, I think, this won't be long anymore.
He might have heard about your great skills already.
He especially appreciates people like you.

That's exciting.

But don't talk anymore, he usually has something important to say when he leaves his chamber.

He's standing in the middle of the upper deck.
Everyone gets silend and starts to listen.

We'll reach pirate island soon.
So let's have fun, everyone.
But that's not the only reason I went to pirate island.
I recently heard rumors about a great treasure. But we need to gather more information on the island.
So after our party everyone is invited to contribute.
That's all I have to say.

As soon as he came, he disappears again.

So, what do you think about him?

Yeah, I think I already said enough.
He might scare me a little, but he seems fine.

I keep sitting there for a while. Frederik soon leaves me alone.
When I look at the ocean the next time, I see some island in the distance.
I'm already looking forward to be there already.
The other pirates have told a lot of good things about their experiences here.
But until then, I try to sleep and relax. I don't know when I will have another chance to.

Looks like I really fell asleep. When I look out, the ship doesn't seem to be moving anymore and when I look at the other side, people are already leaving the ship.
It must be evening already, but the sun is still up.

Most crew members are already talking about some pub.
Everyone will go there, so I basically have to join them.

I follow some group. They all know, where to go.
And soon we reach the pub. It's a nice pub, maybe a bit dirty.
And despite its size, it's getting cramped when almost all of us are here.

Everyone else I see drinks rum, so I do as well. It's my first time drinking rum, I can't drink much at once. It really doesn't taste that good.

Some crew members, also Frederik, are already talking to the sparingly dressed girls who are here to care for the guests in various ways.
After a while Frederik leaves together with one of the younger ones. I prefer to have fun with some new pirate friends and we party until late at night.
Even if I don't even know their names I start to feel like I really belong to them.

Soon we tell each other stories about our adventures and fights.
And most of them probably just make up stories, and so do I.
I tell them about my relationship with plate humans and how I was able to seduce the princess. In both cases I had to fight large groups of enemies alone.
And the best part, they even seem to believe me.
I don't know if it's just the rum, or if most of them really think that I've always been such a good fighter.

When I wake up in my sleeping room on the ship the next morning I hardly can't remember anything. I don't even remember if I finished my first cup of rum.

I look outside and it looks like it's already in the middle of the day. How long did I sleep?

I decide to look for Frederik.
When I find him, he seems worried.

Good morning!

Oh, do you have an idea where my treasures are?
It took me so much effort to collect them.
But now they're gone.

Sorry, I don't know.

I must have given them away!
I probably started to brag to the girls, and when they wanted to take a closer look, they probably just took them and left or at least I forgot to demand them to give me back my stuff.

Yeah, sounds like something you would do.

When talking about treasures, did you already hear about our next goal?

No, did Moldero already find something out?

It's hidden on a frozen island.
We don't know where it is yet, but I'm already excited!

Yeah, this really sounds like an exciting adventure.

But it's still just a rumor. We don't even know the coordinates yet, so...

Maybe I'll also look for some information about this treasure.
I wanted to explore the island on my own anyways.

Sounds nice.

Will you join me?

No, I'm out. I already have something in mind.

Frederik giggles.

I just get up and leave the ship.
Now I'll really be on my own on this island.
