"Father look!"

I point at the corpses which hang by their necks.

"It's fine, Evie."

"But it says, Pirates ye be warned."

"I said it's fine."

Father takes of his hat in a sign of respect.

"What if we're gonna get hang too?"

"That won't happen."

"What do you mean, father?"

"You're with me, nothing will happen to you when I'm with you."

I smile as the boat floats to a deck. Father holds me close as we step off the boat.

"Excuse me, you there."

"Aye?"

"You have to pay two pieces of silver and give me your name to let your boat be here."

"How about three pieces of silver and forget the name?"

"Welcome to Port Royal, Miss and Mr. Smith."

Port Royal, so this is the place where the governor lives and the fastest ship in the country makes birth.

I thought while walking after my father.

"Dad, can I go explore the Island?"

"Of course darling, just stay out of trouble."

"Okay dad."

I pressed a kiss on my fathers cheek before running into the city.
