It's best a Pirate's World. Chapter 1
I am slightly concerned, that I am too alone. I am concerend I have sailed my life narrowly through dire straits to this abandoned bay, and have done too little to fix my ship apart from slap on some pitch and paint. So I've hired a different captain and crew and became the sole passenger instead. Well, me and a couple cats, they're for the fat rats aboard. The cats are terrible at their job, but a great comfort.

It turned out hiring this crew was probably the best decision I'd ever made! They've fixed up the boat and know exactly what to do with it. The crew I met in this ghost town's local tavern by this abandoned bay, had their ship stolen by a nasty gang of pirates. I said I had money and a boat and no direction in life and the Captain said nothing but squinted his eyes more than they are constantly already, turned his crew, grunted a chuckle and waved them to come aboard and inspect. I really have not much to talk about with the Captain nor his crew, they're too busy working, and I just pay them from my vast inheritence. They'll keep me privy to their schemes. I pretty much let them have free reign, and they do the job excellently. We are sort of freelancers, finding opportunity here and there, they pitched a flag of their own however and handed mine back folded as if for a ship's funeral. Nothing to conern myself about, I'm sure.. Their flag reads, "Mackie's" with sabers behind a fearsome red skull. Mine, I've unfolded and hung in my room, it has a few tears and the beautiful brass on blue caligraphy does look quite sad now, "Othello's Legacy". huh. Perhaps this is best a pirate's world.
