Bia's antics- the ghost pirates story

First, I need to tell you about how it was actually written in the treasure book because it will be very different from how I will tell you the story.

The next pages were written all a sequence of information:

A name

A date

A place

A sum of money

A note

The treasure book was used to register the loot of every person in the crew. There were also conflicts, deaths, riots, and things like shipwrecks or storms listed. In short, everything that required the crew's salary to be reduced.

Bia also heard a lot more of details from her parents and She told me them too, so this will be a good completely story. But I still have to keep it short, for this is not Bia's family story. I chose two good tales for you, the first written and the last.

The first name in the book was Captain red. He was originally a British navy captain. When England said that he would steal Spanish ships, he gladly obeyed.

He was given a small army of fifty men to accompany him on his journey. He envisioned a bright future and to make that future a reality he created the leather book. The first serve was in the Pacific. On a stormy day, the mast was broken by the waves, there was no hope for the ship. And then the Spanish fleet was sighted. The pirates didn't waste a second and flipped their ship to pieces. When they arrived aboard the cargo ship, victory was easy. There were only supplies and hardly any soldiers. The cargo ship was made to withstand storms, and with it Captain Red returned victoriously to the shores of England.

Unfortunately, when he docked the ship in port, he could already hear the screams of the British guards. One of his men who stayed ashore was waiting for him and told him that the queen had died, and the new regime did not tolerate piracy. He will not return as a hero as promised but as a lowly sea thief.

Enraged, Captain Red and his men returned to the sea. They continued their piracy and made the Spanish pirate islands their home.

The Red Captain continued as a notorious pirate who gave birth to a long tradition of the pirate family, The Ghost Pirates. They were called ghosts because in one of his forays, Red encountered a prominent mage who was making his journey to study the magic of the wild continent. He was a difficult opponent for the pirates, but as they were more, they ended up beating the peaceful travelers and the mage. Many pirates died that day, but the reward was invaluable. Red found a camouflage spell that once used the spell would be passed from parent to child. The spell was not yet complete and since Red had just slit the mage's throat, no one alive could complete it. But red doesn't give up so easily. From that day forward, he and his troupe focused and captured and plundered mages. They kept him prisoner, and Red took everything he got about magic from them. Red was an intelligent man and learned fast, with a lot of effort and dedication he treated every piece of information like gold coins and learned everything he could about magic. In one of his pods searching for completing the scroll, he found a beautiful magician with whom he fell in love. Together, they then set out into the wildlands, where they found the key to completing the spell with a shaman from an isolated tribe. After becoming acquainted with the tribe, they gave him gifts and formed a deep friendship.

When they got all the information they needed, they murdered every member of the tribe so that no one but them would have the magic. With wizard blood in their veins and magic that made them disappear at sea, they gained the reputation of the greatest pirate band of all time. All ghost pirates captains wore red hats honoring Red.

Many generations later (and a few pages in the book) we got to the story of Bia's parents. To be more exact, from Bia's mother. She was the only daughter of the captain and an excellent pirate, merciless, strong, fast, and a born leader. Everyone from the crew was happy to see her becoming the next captain. But one day she met a very handsome Spanish boy that worked at the port of the pirate island. Every time they got to that port, Bia's mother would secretly( which is effortless for a ghost pirate captain) bring him to the ship at midnight. When her father discovered it, he was about to explode. By the lawns of Red, it was forbidden to bring lovers onboard, forbidden to lie to the captain, forbidden to the captain to love someone who was not a teammate or a mage, and forbidden to let the lights on after 9 pm. The minimum punishment for breaking all those lawns was abandonment. To the surprise of all, she happily accepted her fate and abandoned the ship at the pirate island port. What they just discovered some days later was that she had stolen the leather book and that the captain could not have any more kids! This made all the difference. Because it means they would be out of the captain's camouflage magic and nobody on board could take his place! They also did not have the book anymore, so they did not have all locations where their hidden treasures were. The younger, less loyal ones just abandoned the old captain and followed Bia's mother. The old pirates who had grown with the captain followed him till his last days.

And so, we come to the last page of the leather book, the one that should be written by Bia herself.
