CHAPTER 1 - GROWING UP
The date was August the 6th1601 when I was born, my name is Roman Red Beard and I was to be the world’s most horrific pirate ever to sail the seven seas...
On my 5th birthday I went to the harbour bright and early, I decided to climb to the top of the crow’s nest on one of the ships- it was on none other than the Katherine Jones. So I say to me self I’ll be sailing one of these beauty’s one day.
You can bet your bottom dollar on that lad.
Said a voice behind me. When I turned around I saw that it was my old friend captain Jim, so he said; My sailing days are over son, especially the adventures I had. But yours are still yet to come, well then seen as it be ye birthday lad I’m going to give you a map to a magical island with my buried treasure. I would never give this to anybody but you ‘cause you lad have a spirit of adventure inside of you-a lot of my foes are after the map, keep it secret and don’t show it to anybody.
Don’t worry about a thing my good old friend.
I said. When I turned around I noticed that he was already gone, so I climbed down from the crow’s nest and headed off home. After the conversation we had I didn’t see him again for a long time, a few weeks went by and still I didn’t hear of or see him. So I decided to go to his house and see what the hell was going on... When I got there I saw that he was very sick and it looked as if he was busy dying, I saw the life fading out of him and his eyes were dim and I wasn’t used to seeing him like this-my good old friend captain Jim.
So he called me closer and gave me his most prized possession-his knife, made from the strongest and purist metal forged by the old original sea hag and the handle was made from rich oak and had a varnished finish to it. Before he died he told me that he would always be with me in my heart and with that he drew his last and final breathe. The very next morning I gave him a private burial behind his house, when I was done I took his young parrot and a few other things that were of value and oh I named the bird captain Jim-my best friend.
As I headed off home I saw a cave that I knew really well, it was called pirates cove. So I made sure that nobody was watching before I turned down the path toward the cave, now from a young age I could and still can see very well in the dark so I didn’t really need a fire torch. When I got to the cave entrance I noticed that the tide was pushing in so I had to make haste. I took everything that I had taken from Jim’s place and into the cave I went and stuck it into a secret compartment in the wall of the cave that I had made so that nobody could take anything.
The only things I took home with me were the map, the parrot and the knife Jim gave me... When I got home I noticed a very distinct smell of smoked salmon which of course was my favorite, so before I opened the door to go inside I hid the map under my shirt. When I walked inside I saw father busy drinking red rum straight from out of the bottle, even though he drank almost every night he was never violent towards us. Although my mother didn’t really like his drinking and getting totally drunk, she still stood by him and they both loved each other so very much...
Bright and early the next morning father and I went fishing and while our line was in the water he gave me something that was wrapped up in a leather like pouch and it was very valuable to him- it was granddads old telescope and when he gave it to me he spoke and said; Son I already know about Jim and the things you took and what he gave you, you don’t have to hide things from me- to be honest is always best and I know about the map he gave you and don’t fret your secret is safe with me son.
Thanks father I really appreciate.
I felt quite comfortable inside knowing that I didn’t have to hide anything from my father, although I still wonder how he knew about the map and other things that I never told him about...
As I lay asleep Jims spirit woke me up, of course I got a fright at first but then he spoke and said; Don’t be afraid it is only me, I have come to tell you how your father knows all he should and things he shouldn’t know.
Suddenly I heard my father’s footsteps coming toward my room and before I knew it Jim had vanished into the night. Just then my father walked in and asked me the question I knew he was going to ask... Who were you talking to my boy?
I just had a dream of Jim when he was still alive father, I’m sorry if I woke you.
Its ok son, just keep it down because you know what the people in this town is like, good night son.
Goodnight old man.
When my father walked out, I waited for about ten minutes for him to sleep and when the snoring started that was the signal I needed. So I got dressed and climbed out my window and made my way to Jims house and that’s where I met her... the sea witch aka sea hag. We looked each other in the eyes and then she spoke, You look like somebody who owes me his soul, He-he-he!!!
I’m just looking for something I had lost here the other day.
What exactly did you lose my boy?
I kept my mouth shut because I was afraid of her for I had heard many a story about her... whoever
