Hazar, who needed to learn to be a Weaver to become a swordsman, wanted only to become an Explorer and seek revenge. Müge, who was experiencing the same things as him, remained silent.

From the very first sparks of his life, Hazar possessed a spirit that dreamed of pushing the boundaries of the world. This dream was nourished by the stories and adventures his mother had told him. However, one day, the borders of his homeland were breached by enemies, and Hazar narrowly escaped the clutches of death. Grateful for having survived, Hazar and Müge stepped into a new chapter of their lives. Their greatest support in this endeavor came from Master Korkut. To pursue his dream of becoming an explorer, Hazar began learning weaving in his new home and then training to become a swordsman. Müge, who had endured similar ordeals in a harsher way, watched silently as events unfolded. No one could know what she was truly thinking. Which paths would Hazar and Müge choose to reach their goals? What decisions were they ready to work for? For this reason, Hazar especially wanted Verzemeg to teach him swordsmanship. Yet Verzemeg did not share the same opinion. How would the conflict between Hazar and Verzemeg resolve? This was only the beginning of their story.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18
44 parts Complete
It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

Fighting to stay alive as her father sailed on a merchant ship, Deana learned many skills to get food or money even if it was pick-pocketing. She kept an old rum bottle to store what she could save and vowed to become the best sailor in the ocean to prove to her father and everyone else that her gender wasn't what was holding her back. Deana Blake, a woman serving as a cook aboard the ship Petrel, is not really getting anywhere closer to her dreams of being a well-known captain. Her skills in the kitchen are extraordinary, but her skills with a knife were just as known to anyone who dared enter her galley. She bribed her way onto the boat while manipulating the Captain to keep her aboard. Deana wouldn't do anything she didn't have to, and she wanted to earn the right to be a captain rather than take it, so that was how she spent years cooking for an ever-changing crew on the Petrel until the ship was attacked and sent to her watery grave. Deana Blake, a woman to be feared. Date Published: Nov 28, 2017 ✨~Ranks~✨ #1 BlackSails- 11/20/2021 #1 CharlesVane- 8/5/2023 #1 Piracy- 3/4/2024 #12 CanonxOC- 11/22/2021 #148 Pirates- 11/20/2021
