The story of the sea. A prince make a decision that changes his life, but was it the right one?

This book will hold the history of my ship, The Olympia. I am a prince. My name is Naferyes and, I have bought an old cargo ship. She’s a fixer-upper but she will have to do. I am upgrading her to a steam and sail ship. It was expensive but very much worth it. War has started. I will reinforce the hull and give the ship more guns. I am naming her “The Olympia”. May my ship live even past the end of this war.

This tell is a work in progress. I also need some people who have artistic skills.
Never the less enjoy!

Dear Naferyes,
We need to find our little sister, but I have something more important at this time. I think we should hire pirates to attack the Zrinthyan trade ships. Please go to a pirate port so you can try and see if you can. Please be careful.

Love, Salinsea

The Port

Dear Naferyes,

            We need to find our sister, but I have something more important at this time. I think we should hire pirates to attack the Zrinthyan trade ships. Please go to a pirate port so you can try and see if you can. Please be careful.

Love, Salinsea

Captains log.

            We have made a flag. We are almost to the pirate port. This will be hard but, I believe I can do it.

           We raised the flag so they would not fire on us and it actually worked. We lowered the white flag as we docked. I put on a cloak and ventured into the pirate port town. I was stopped by one of the port guards who said

“Stop. What is your name, where are you from, and what is your business here?”

            “I do not know who you are and my business is my own, but I am honored to have met you.”

            “I am Edd, captain of the Emerald, and I am honored to have met you, Captain?”

            “I am Naferyes, Captain of the Olympia. I am here to hire pirates to attack Zrinthyan trade ships.”

            “Well, you not only have some good ones to hire, you have also made a friend.”

           As I pulled out the flag and showed it to him I said

“Well then, keep an eye out for this flag.”

            “I will.”

            “Alright, until next we meet.” I said

            “Agreed.”

Then I continued on my way and he on his.

           I walked into a shop, went to a corner, and used a little levitation to set up. Now, I know what you are thinking. I’m not an Alicorn. I can do some levitation spells, but nothing too complicated and not super long. I set up, placed a paper, a quill, and ink. A captain walked up and asked what I was doing. I said I was there to hire pirates to attack Zrinthyan trade ships.

            “How much does this job pay?”

            “It depends on how many ships you sink and how many you bring in.”

            “I see. Sign me up.”

            “Alright, sign here, how we can contact you here, and that should be all.”

           He signed up, said goodbye, and walked away. A few more pirate captains signed up as time went on. There’s always that one pirate that wants money immediately. It was about an hour away from the shop’s closing time. The captain of the Marauder walked up and said “What are you doing here?”

    “I am here to....”

    “I don’t care,” the captain said “where are you from?”

    “Well, that is undisclosed information.”

    “WHERE ARE YOU FROM?!” he yelled.

    “I am from The United Provides.”

    “How are you going to pay us pirates?”

    “The princess is having me do this for her.”

    “And what exactly makes you so trusted?”

    “Salinsea is my sister.” two members of his crew walked up. “I don’t want any trouble.”\

    “Surrender yourself and there won’t be any.” he said.

    “Now you know I won’t do that.” I said as I put away the flag and list.

    The captain began reaching for his pistol and said “I guess you are about to get it.” I got all of my stuff put away and the captain said “Where do you think you’re going?” Right after he said that the captain of the Emerald walked in. Edd grabbed one of his two pistols and yelled “CATCH!” as he threw it towards me. A jump, a flap of my wings, and I caught the pistol. Edd grabbed his other pistol. Then my wings flapped again with a sudden burst of movement I rushed toward the counter as Edd fired his pistol and missed. The captain of the Morauter spun around and watched me jumped off the cabinets as Edd ran out the door with me following close behind him. Edd ran a little to the right stop as I landed and we turned around at the same time. I saw my ship rite down the road and seeing this I yelled, “CODE 24!” and if you lined carful you could hear code 24 again rite as the captain of the Morauder was ran out of the shop the cannon ports on the Olympya opened as the cannon extended. As the captain of the Morauter came out of the shop. BANG!  Rang out from the 1 of the cannons. Whish! As the rock hard muffin flew past him. BAND! The cry of the Olimpya’s cannon rings out as clear as day. Thud! It hit his 2 crew ponies as they came out. A cry of pain rang out as the rock hard muffin hit them. As the captain of the Morauder looked back to see what just happened. BAND! Rang out from the pistol I had in my hooves. The captain of the Morauter looked back at me, he had been galloping towered us. His pace was slowed, but he hasn’t stopped. BANG! BANG! Rang out from 2 of the town’s guardsman’s muskets. Both of the rounds hit, but he still keep coming. “Naferyes!” Edd yelled as he pointed towered the shop window and the ran towered the left of the shop. I started to run towered the shop window.

I got rammed by the captain. I flapped my wings quickly. Then I flow up, glided as fast as I could then land, and ran the rest of the way to the window. The captain quickly turned around and chased me. I jumped off the window and over the captain. The captain stopped rite before he hit the window. Edd swung his legs and. Thud! The sound was clear as the captain of the Morauder broke throw the window. The 2 guards quickly jumped throw the broken window and quickly grabbed the captain. As the guards picked him up, I could see that the cheery seeds had finally taken effect, but I had a feeling that this was not over. I walked over to Edd and said, “Thank you.”

“Hay, what are friends for.” Edd said with a grin.

The captain was arrested. The 2 crew members were taken to the hospital, and as it turned out they had a few broken bones. The captain was put in jail for disturbs of the peace. After all that Edd and I went to a gun shop and I bought my self and a few members of my crew pistols and some ammo for them. We went back to the docks and went to our ships and met up outside the harbor. I all ready know how to reload muskets so I all ready know how to reload a pistol.

Dear, Naferyes

I now have a list of jobs and how much we will pay for most of the equine mint. Thank you Naferyes for leading the way.

Love, Salinsea

50 bits per cannon from ships

10 bits            for the rock hard muffins shot

15 bits          for chain rock hard muffin shot

15 bits          for grape rock hard muffin shot

20 bits     for cannon ball shot

25 bits        for chain ball shot

25 bits   for grape shot

1000 bits for completing the job

You get to keep the gold. There will be some things that we might ask you to get. If you get the staff we ask for you will be rewarded greatly. To if interested look for this flag.

I sent my sister a letter in retune saying thank you for getting me the information. The pirates that send up had been sent jobs that they could do. In the mean time Edd and I were heeded out to Zrinthyan trade routes to stop them from trading with other canters. We are attacking the trade routes.

Owner attacks have been successful. We attacked several trade fleets. We returned home with the Emerald following us. We had cap shred 17 ships, 272 crew, and over 10,000,000 gold or bits. We would have cap shred more if the medical ships did not pick them up. Edd and I split the money. We made a plan to sell off the ships and to restock on food, ammo, and water.

When we got home I went to the post office and found a letter for me with the ladders A.S.D.D

Dear, Naferyes

This is the Air Ship Dry Dock. We now have estimated how long it will take to complete the Olympus to your specification. It will take at least a year, and it will cost 2,250,000 bits to build.

Thank You

I flew over to the Emerald after reading that letter and talked to Edd. Then after that I flew home where I had a wear welcome home by my sister. I sleep in my old bed that night… …It was wonderful to be home. The next day I woke up to a great breakfast, main wail Edd went and sold 4 of our 13 war gallons. He made 2,250,580 off of the ships. He also sold 2 of our 4 trade ships and made 65,000 bits off of those.
