It's now time for me to set off on my quest for my missing parents. The odds are slim, but I know they're still alive somewhere. I can feel it in my bones. The teachers whom I once called mother and father, aid me when I told them of my desires. After giving me a map, a staff, a bag of supplies, and goodbye's kiss, I began my search starting with Skull Island. An island filled with various pirates seems like the best place to start when looking for information scattered about. With luck on my side, I found a ship setting sails for that island and I aboard. I look back at my home for one last time, never knowing if I'll return or not. Part of me is sad and nervous by my leaving, while the other is calm and ready for what lies ahead. I ignore my negative feeling and press on ahead.

"Well now, aren't ye a little young to be traveling these skies alone?", A sailor asked me.

"I'm old enough to start my own adventure and seeing where the skies take me", I told him.

"You best be careful about these skies youngling, they can be dangerous at times", he warned me.

"I know, one nearly cost me my life"

I still remember that horrible unfortunate day that beheld us. Black clouds thick as smoke, never ending rain, harsh winds, and violent lightning surrounding us in a merciless storm. A memory I dare not to think about, for it gives me a bad headache. Hours have already passed since my leaving from home and already I am here, in Skull Island.

"Hmm… not much to look at", I spoke out loud.

Wasn't pulling my own leg here, this island hardly looked the place for info. The buildings aren't bad, but this island looks so old and empty. But I digress and brushed the thought aside and began with the island's tavern to seek out any information about my parent's ship, the Sailing Nova, and anyone on it.

"Excuse me sir, may I have a word with you?", I kindly asked the Pelican Bartender.

"Ah! A new face, what can I do for ye?", he question wiping the counter.

"Do you happen to know anything or anyone who was on a ship called the Sailing Nova?"

"Sailin Nova? Hmm…sorry doesn't ring any bell of mine", He shrugged.

Dang, where do I go from here now? The shops? Random people maybe? Oh boy, I know this wasn't going to be easy. But…

"If you want, you can always ask Captain Avery", he suggested, "He might know what you're looking for".

I asked the location for this Captain Avery person and he kindly directed me to his court. Upon my arrival I was surprised to see a court filled with pirates young and old surrounding each area and run down buildings. The place is more lively than I gave it grant for, even with itself old stone structure style. Everyone seem to be getting along very well. I hope this Avery as nice as them and I hope he knows whe-

"AH!", I shout after something hit me.

"Oh sorry!" A girl apologized before running off.

Before I knew it, she was out of my sight quicker than a ghost, it was both strange and shocking. This was no time to get side track, so I focused back on my quest and head for Captain Avery. Just when I thought the outside was amazing, Avery's house proved me wrong the moment I stepped inside. Incredible, it was as if his home was a museum with every relic and treasure from different parts of the spiral. But, the inside could look a little better. My wondering eyes finally lead me to what seem to be the Captain by his desk surrounded by more pirates. I fear he hasn't the time for any of my questions with what he's dealing. Do I wait till the next day or should I wait here? The idea of waiting a day makes me even more impatient. Waiting here it is.
