William Sunshot
Honorable Pirate
Shipwreck Cove was an interesting place.
Hundreds of wrecked craft lay strewn across the shores of the island, with sharp rocks jutting out from the foam at unpredictable intervals and spaces. It was a nightmare to navigate the bulk of the War Frigate through, but we made it. The town of Shipwreck was another thing entirely. For a pirate town, it was quiet, nothing like Tortuga. We dropped anchor and made for the town in a rowboat.
When we arrived, we met with a man who called himself Eoin. He was of a sturdy build, not too tall, not too short. His clothes were clean, and dark in color. His hair was the color of a flame, and there were a number of scars on his face. His bright green eyes shone of intelligence, and I quickly understood that this was a man who knew what he was doing.
"Good day mate, m'name's Eoin. Pronounced like 'Owen' if you must, but do the Irish in me a favor and get to saying it properly. 'Preciate it." he smiled and stuck out his hand. His toothy grin set me at ease, as this seemed like a guy I could get along with.
"G'day Eoin, my name's William. I'm here to see Captain Teague."
He looked worried.
"Now see, that's a problem right there. Normally, I'd be all for that, you being a notorious pirate and all, but theres a little snag in the way."
"What's that?"
"Well, the good captain set out about a month ago in the Troubadour and never came back. We don't know where he is exactly and haven't heard from him. Went off with a full crew of the best men around... not a word."
"Where was he going?"
"Well, he said he was going to check out an old shipwreck off the coast of Raven's Cove, but our ships found no sign of him or his ship. We sent a few men ashore, but they came back with nothing."
My mind began reeling. The Raven's Cove shipwreck... could that be where the chest was? What of that ship? Did El Patron really have what I was after? Was it even his ship? Was Teague going after it as well?
All of a sudden, something strange happened. More thoughts exploded into my mind. There was an image of a shipwreck, a burning, flaming shipwreck. A man crawled out, barely making it away in time. The man in question walked away, towards the moon hovering in the distance. The beach was quiet, the forest off to the side was thick. Something made a noise. The man wasn't alone...
