Rookie Beginnings

"Uhh, Thane was your name right? Are you sure you want to travel with us traders to the next island? You know trading ships are attacked and looted all the time even here in the South Blue. We have to defend ourselves every time we trade from island to island and it gets hectic. Are you sure you don't want to just get off now?" The captain of the trade ship said to Thane who was laying down on a bench with a towel over his face. "Yeah Yeah whatever, I don't really care as long as we get to that next island its fine. Just wake me up when we get there or you all are having a bit of trouble." "Umm, yeah sure alright Thane. Can I get you anything like...." The captain was interrupted by the snoring of Thane as he quickly went to sleep. "Sir, why is he here exactly?" A crew member said. "He said that he wanted to travel with us to learn the way of trade or something like that, said he'd offer protection too so I just let him come along, shouldn't be too much trouble." The captain responded.

"Alright men, set sail, should take us several hours to get there. Luckily with the winds and beautiful morning, I think we'll have a swift and pretty luxurious travels today." The ship took off from the docks of an island in the south blue, a couple of hours into travel the crew was far enough that they couldn't see any islands around. Just fellow ships on the sea traveling along like they were. A beautiful day it was, clear blue skies sprinkled with clouds here and there. The sun shined bright but the weather was pleasant. A day that people should be enjoying to the fullest, the trading crew surely were. They laughed, played music and had a good time on this day while Thane, was still just sleep, missing out on this seemingly joyous day.
