Chapter 1

After years the village was returned to normal and the boy lived alone with only a few friends to talk to. Hunter had grown strong from all the work he's done around town. He was always happy and always caused mischief around town. Hunter would always talk about going out to sea to explore and have great adventures to his closest friend Xavier. Xavier sat next to him looking out at sea with his warming golden eyes. His brown hair was long enough to cover his forehead.

The two boys looked out at sea from Hunters house that resigned at the top of a cliff overlooking the sea.

"Let's go into town for a bite I'm hungry." Xavier complained listening to his stomach growling.

"Ugh fine but you're paying this time." Hunter smiled standing up and stretching his arms.

The sun stood high in the sky leaving a reflection of bright yellow in the sea. Hunter smiled at such a great view.

"Well let's go." Xavier said running to town which was down the trail behind Hunters house.

It took about ten minutes to get into town and another five to get to the town pub where people had gathered for drinks and food. The boys walked in seeing regulars and travelers talk about adventures or stories. Standing behind the counter was Jay, a young woman who taken over the pub from her passed away mother.

She had long brown hair and a soft expression on her face. Her bangs seemed to be a different color of blue and went down the side of her face. Her eyes were a comforting hazel that with the right shine would make her look stunningly beautiful.

Once Jay got a look at the boys she smiled welcoming them. "Why hello you two finally come down from that house aye?"

Hunter smiled back at Jay. "Hey Jay whachya got to eat today?"

"Well we got a nice catch from the fishermen for all to have." She said pulling a pot of food out from under the counter. When the lid was open the aroma of stew filled the room.

Xavier's mouth watered getting a good smell of the stew.

A voice came from the door that echoed through the pub. "Well ide like a bowl of that then!"

Hunter recognized that voice from the night when he was little. He turned around to see the same pirate that killed his people years ago. The tattoo of the golden toothed jolly roger on the pirates arm that was imbedded in Hunters mind.
