Watching this little girl reminded me of the past.
If I recall I was a little older than Lucia at the time, because I had just began my life after mother retired from her role as captain.
My mother ruled the seven seas with her own pirate crew and huge boat.
But if my mother said the ocean was vast, then there was no doubt.
The sky was just like the ocean.
I remembered what my mother told me.
"Even if we don't have a home, our place will always be-" I placed my a hand on my chest. "Here."
Forever in our hearts.
I stared at the ocean while carrying my stuff on one shoulder. Heading off to find some food in the marketplace, I soon come across a girl roughly the same age as I was. Arguing to the person selling fruits.
"Listen here! If you don't lower the prices of these fruits, you're going to make the biggest mistake of your life." She sounded pretty arrogant. "Challenging my family's guild-"
"That's enough Matilda." A man bearing similar features to the person known as Matilda stepped in.
Matilda huffed. "I was only making a point."
