The Finding of Daccat's Map
Chapter 1 : Supplies
Sailors Island, a fairly safe haven for all sailors and travellers, to stock up on supplies and to rest their bodies and minds. It is here where Vyse and his Friend Aika set off to make their legendary rescue of their friends and family from the Valuan Empire.
However our story takes place before this, a long time before this, about 30 years before this. This is the story of Pedro and Gonzales and their important place in history, even if they will never realise it.
"1000 gold pieces and that's my final offer"
"I can only pay 500"
"That's not my problem, I am only letting it go for 1000"
"But no-one else will want it, that things old, real old"
"Why do you want it then"
"My ship just happens to be real old too"
"So?"
"Anything much newer than this will tear my ship apart if fired"
"… Tell ya what if you pay what you have already then I'll keep it aside for you until you get the money. But if someone else comes and offers more than you for it then it will go"
"I'll think about it"
Pedro exited the weapons shop, more than a little annoyed. Gonzales ran up to him. The pair were young both at 27 years old and were wearing typical pirate style clothes. Pedro wore mostly red and Gonzales green. They had known each other since they were children ad had grown up together up in a village near Windmill Island. *
"I got the crystals and the moon stone fuel did you get any weapons?" said Gonzales
They had both just set off from their village in search of great riches and adventure, mostly riches. This meant they were both a more than a little short of supplies.
" 'Fraid not. They didn't have anythin' handheld better than what we have already, and the only useful cannon was way too much. The shop keeper said he would keep it to one side if we pay him what we already got."
"WHAT we cant afford that"
"I know! I heard in the Sailors' Guild that Nasr is in a bit of a financial rut"
"You mean they don't have much money?"
"Yes"
"So?"
Pedro sighed; he was the smarter of the two so this happened a lot.
"Sooo, it means that we can pay less for stuff and get away with it"
A gust of wind kicked up a trail of dust as it blew across the street between the inn and weapons shop, Gonzales had disappeared. Pedro looked around the bustling town, from the old lighthouse across the construction site of the new inn and over to the sailors guild. Still no Gonzales, This is when the shout came.
"Hey amigo lets get goin'"
Pedro looked over to the docks just in time to see Gonzales start the small ships engines. Pedro ran as quickly as fast he could and jumped aboard the rotting deck just before the ship left the docks. This would have looked quite spectacular if he hadn't slipped on a patch of moss. Gonzales' face appeared above him.
"This is no time to be restin' on the job" he said
"I hate you"
