It was like this, I just finished grabbing meself a bounty skull and raised anchor away from Krakens Fall. I thought to myself I'll aim for calmer seas from the wilds and set course for Ancient Spire outpost.
Not neary halfway in the journey did I hear the waves behind me start to gather, the great beast had set its eyes on my ship and my haul. I manned a canon and fired 2, but it didnt sway the menace.
The Spire was in my sight and I thought I was on the home stretch when the jaws leaped out of the water and sent me into the ocean, I saw the great shark swim beneath me as I tried to swim back to my ship. By the time I reached it, water was filling up the hold and I had no choice by to tend to her needs.
During the bail, i heard the meg find me again, I went on deck and steered the ship back towards the Outpost, so close I could swim there myself if it wasnt for my collection of skulls onboard. The shark had no remose as it attacked again, I locked the wheel, hoping i could crash the ship into the outpost and be free of this creature.
I went to fill the holes and came back to check, AH the wind had thrown me past the island! It was of no use. I had to think on my feet.
I grabbed my most valuable skull and jumped, swimming to the outpost as my ship along with the other 3 or 4 skulls went to the depths.
The wound was cut deep and i cursed the shark that grieved me so, as I thought my day was lost a passerby offered me to join their alliance.
I've never joined one before, so i took the chance and together with another ship we raided a skull fort and relished in its treasure. My loss was compensated and then some. I thank the brave sailors I got to share with,yet I didnt get a chance to get their names. Alas, I hope to run into such folk again on the seas.
