Mission Successful, Can I Go Home?

Floating on a plank amidst the ruins of my victory I started to think if perhaps I did the right thing? Like instead of sinking the pirates I should have come up with a way to improve their lot in life so as to keep them away from piracy. I could have taught them all valuable skills and they could have ushered in a new era of specialty product production on their tiny crappy island Nah just kidding I was completely happy with myself and just wish I'd thought of a better way of getting away. I mean you've read the other entries right? At what point do I do anything that doesn't directly benefit myself? EXACTLY!

Still the floating was obnoxious, I mean looking back I got picked up in a couple days (merchant vessel, I did at least position myself in a ship lane, so in a way I did have an escape plan). I created entirely new games to play based on how particular bits of junk floating in the ocean. No I won't bore you with what they involved, just know yes you can lose in your own made up game and complain to yourself about the rules that you yourself created.

As far as young Rowan she actually became one of the most fearsome pirates the world has ever seen. Yes apparently the island really needed the pirates and not so much the fish. So Rowan like a true Lorentino (though not identifying herself as such) filled the vacancy in the market place. Of course because piracy is still a male dominated field she had to pretend to be a man (a tragedy for all equality in the world let me tell you), she actually took my name and went by Trezlan the Red. I'd like to think it was because of how I freed her from the shackles of being a fisherman, but I know it was probably more an insult directed at me that just stuck. It did cause me issues though, I was arrested four times accused of piracy! Never convicted, but still it was an inconvenience!

I did have to laugh that in the lore of Trezlan the Red, I am listed as the hired gun she brought in to sink her rival pirates (legends never get timelines right, so of course in the legend Rowan was a pirate long before she actually became one). So now you know the rest of the story, mostly, I'm skipping a lot of really awful things, kidding! Maybe.
