Old man walks slowly on road, his feets are dirty, covered with mud and blood. He slowly walks to inn and asks drink from innkeepter. Innkeeper looks at the drunk old man and gives some ale to him. Old man sits down and starts telling a story.

When i was young i was in hes ROYAL army, we sailed almost everywhere, where ever he asked us to go. We all where very desent at the begin but inside we all wanted honor,higher ranks and money we where so ambitious that we didnt scare anything not even death himself. Days passet away we fight against the pirates,sea dragons and many horrible creatures that are hard to even imagine. We did get huge fame at the seas we where crew of Glorius Fire.. Yes that was the name of the ship.... Glorius Fire...

*Old man drinks ale and asks for new one. Inkeeper sitts down next to old man and gives another ale.*

So days did past we lost men and got new one, but still we was crew nothing more. Everything else was famous and rich, our king hes servants and even our own ship was finest lady what i have ever seen. Our captain was a brave and most of all honorable man, everytime there was a fight he was first man who attacked and we followed him. Now when i think that time again im sure he was blessed or god protect him or something. He was furious fight best what i have seen, hes blade was sharp and he was strong like bull...... NO STRONG LIKE A SEVEN BULLS.

*Old mans gets excited and starts to cough* *old man drinks ale and asks another... Innkeeper is so intrestid at the story that he brings new bottle to table*

Anyway he was the finest man in earth and true friend of mine hes name was Captain Antonio Sivaldi... Oh yes Anton was the best, he saved my live like thousand times. Once we was heading to Britain to sell some cloths and carrots it was reguest of our king it was dry season at Britain that time.. When we was near to Britain storm started to rage, we was forced to go near shore. Lightnings everywhere it almost feeled like someone would have pissed the gods,sky was pitchblack and waves where like 35 feets high, water falling down it was insane. Well we was near some random shore, before we realized it was too late. We where shore of the famost piratebay NINE huge pirate ships spotted us, and they was getting near to us. We where HEAVYLY out numbered i was sure we will die there. I remember i was paralyzed at the deck, i could move it was too much to us, nine huge ships world baddest pirates against us. Well i just stare those closing ships, when Anton craps to my arm and screams to my ear " SON IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE AND SEE SUN YOU GOTTA RUN DOWN AND MAKE THOSE CANNONS FIRE!!!" Suddently i was under the deck loading those cannons.... I was fearless.. So was everyone else, we didnt care anything we wasnt scare all we know was that we must keep fireing with those cannons. Night was raw and brutal blood swordfight everywhere i was fighting with my sword and the same time i fired with cannons, our deck was in pieces. Mast was down dead bodyes everywhere, i killed more than hundred pirates that night. One thing what i have always wondered how did our captain survive at up... Because he was alone only with hes sword.

*Old man drinks rest of ales and asks a new one. At that point Innkeeper says "this one is from the house" and serves new ale*

Well anyways it was dawn when fight ended, somehow our ship was till sailable, when i did get up to deck it was a mess, there was holes everywhere,deck was filled with dead bodies, blood,guts, brains and other orgins. Our captain was still standing covered with blood and guts, hes sword was broken... *Caugh* First thing he said when we get to deck was: "son that was a good fight." First time in my live i really feeled that im alive, even i was hurted on fight. Anyway we quickly trowed dead bodies to water and leaved that shore, wind was favoring us that morning and sun was shining, it was hard to think that just last night there was such a storm.. *Inkeeper stares his mouth open and asks " What about the rest of your crew?"* Almost everyone was dead, there was just enought many to get ship to britain. Some time after the fight, before we get to Britain our captain wanted everyone to deck. We all wondered why he wants us there and why wont we just sail to britain. His said something like this: " Men im very proud of everyone, you showed unintelligible courage and honor, but i want you to shut your mouths about this.. I mean NO word what happened there, if someone asks where did our mens go you will say that they have taken by sea." At that time i didnt know why he said us that but we all keeped this secret...

*Old man stops and looks the Innkeeper, did you know that when i was just a kid i did have boat, a small boat near to my parrents lake... Oh boy i sailed... *sigh* Yes i sailed almost everyday... Well anyways i thank for the ale and company... Old farts like me is hard to get sleep... So i must leave now and see if i still know how to do it. *Innkeeper stands up and says: Wait wait dont go yet what happened to the captain and what about your ship the Glorius Fire ?? * Old mans sees in Innkeepers eyes that he loved the story and wanted to hear how it ended.. Old man says: If you want to hear the rest of the story i can come back at the same time, but only if here isnt anyone around.*

*Old man leaves the inn and waves to innkeeper.*
