The Lady Lesya was putting out to sea. A light but steady wind filled her sails, pushing her away from Puerto Seguro. Gentle waves licked her hull, kissing the ship goodbye as she slid out of the wide cove of the harbor and entered the open sea. From the dock, the view of the lonely vessel, caught between the clear blue sky and the dark blue water, was beautiful.

Beautiful, but quite unfortunate.

"Merde!" shouted Flow.

Then he dove into the sea and started to swim.

Here ends Stranded, first part of a longer Pirates' Tale.

I finaly started working on the direct sequel called Map, Coffer & Keys. I will publish rough drafts as often as possible (which means every month or so considering my pace of work...).
The very beginning is already available on my profile.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to redo my black and white make up, pick my nails with my dagger and meet the crew to empty some barrels of rum.

Cheers,

Oliver
