I lost touch with her for a while. She left Brest on the Fortuna, as her own ship was still being built. I heard rumours about her and her companions in the meantime though, and when she came to Brest to get her ship – the infamous Ienne – I met her again. She wasFortsæt læsning “20. Hard times”

Well, how to tell this? We roamed around in the city that day – looked at what we should bring back home with us, making deals, and I visited a temple with the Captain and had an eerie experience there. He showed me the crystal-thing that the old man that showed us the way throughFortsæt læsning “19. How to befriend a dragon”

After weeks and weeks at sea it was decided that now was the time for laundryday – of both men and clothes. Being a disgustingly clean person myself (by maritime standard), I had no urgent need to wash or do laundry at that particular day, so I was sent to the crow’s nest to lookeFortsæt læsning “18.

As soon as we were out of sight of Abbas Point we hoisted our black sails. That did slow us down a bit, but made the timing of our entrance into the strait close to perfect. I took the crows nest, Jean Luc and the Captain were alert on deck, while Hawk was at theFortsæt læsning “17. Between corsairs and sirens”

While I was being operated on – the doctor demanded the operation took place before we left harbour, thus setting us back a bit – a ragged and dirty man showed up on shore and demanded to be let on board. The lot on guard was somewhat new on The Fortuna, and they didn’t realizeFortsæt læsning “16. The Far Eastern Traderoute”

“Ah, Stevenport, yes…” Fiona picks up the tale quite willingly at this point. “We arrived in Stevensport, and within the first hour both Hawk and I were arrested (Jean Luc came along for good measure) by soldiers and brought to The Henrietta – a lovely fast little ship with ample cargospace – an ideal smuggler.Fortsæt læsning “15.

As soon as Fortuna was ready we left port and headed north-east. Our next port would be Ravensmeer where Grandpa Blackwell’s treasure was waiting. Fortuna seemed weary in the water. With all the repaires she was like a wounded pyrate, who had been patched up, but still waited to heal properly. It was almost painfulFortsæt læsning “14. Legacies”

The Fortuna set out for Jamestown. The Captain Enrique Velasquez had for a time been increasingly concerned about Cousin Phoebe’s safety in Jamestown. We sailed there as fast as the sails could carry us – I think that if it had helped to get the men out and push, the Captain would have ordered itFortsæt læsning “13. In her Majesty’s service”

Fiona’s accounte of the adventure on the farthest island are somewhat incomplete, as her remembrance of the place is somewhat hazy and nonsensical. I have tried to question Hawk and the sailors who accompanied them on shore, but there are still gaps and odd inconsistencies in the story. So bear with me if the followingFortsæt læsning “12.

Truth is that Goldmouthe’s reputation never quite recovered that flight. The remains of his men where hung, that is those who actually survived and didn’t manage to flee into the jungle. The rumor where soon spread that Goldmouthe had fled from a personal fight with Fiona Blackwell; that she had no quarrel with his men,Fortsæt læsning “11. Brotherhoode of the coast”
