"Dead men tell no tales" was a saying that everyone in the Alteya archipelago knew but what if there was more to it? What if tales were the only thing that could save the world and an evil being from the deepest abyss was snuffing out humanity to make sure no one could tell them? Bones had lived his life proudly as a pirate before he'd died in is latest travels but fate had other plans for him. Gifted a second chance, he was given his old body back, despite it being nothing more then a sun-bleached skeleton at this point, and a task; collecting 99 stories of the seas, freely told by the living. And so Bones embarks on his craziest high-seas adventure yet, armed with a rusty blade and a magic quill that tries to boss him around with written demands and derogatory comments, all while the world itself hung in the balance. No pressure. *Writing this off the cuff without an outline for the magazine contest. Don't expect timely updates.
