The Zodiac Contract
While the Captains were staying in the palace, both Sheng Hai's and XueYa's crew stayed on board, sleeping and gambling their days away.
It was early in the morning. A few birds flew above the docked ships, chirping a distant song. The sun had just peeked behind the horizon, painting the ocean in shimmering gold and red, as if set on fire.
The crew on both ships were still fast asleep, but not for long, since one particular little pirate could not keep his mouth shut, mumbling and bumbling under his breath like a madman.
"Name, need to think of a name...."
Tao leaned over the railing of the main deck. The wood dug into the soft flesh of his elbows, but he wasn't paying the sting any attention. He twirled his finger in the air, sending leaves dancing in circles over the surface of the water.
A name.
