On an autumn day, marking five years since our beloved June transformed into the notorious pirate captain , Julie Rogers.
The sun radiated its warm rays, casting a vibrant ambiance over the bustling port town of Mashora. Melodies filled the air as the townsfolk meandered through the streets, engaged in various activities.
Merchants sold their wares, while port workers loaded and unloaded cargo from ships. The local fishermen, having braved the tempestuous seas overnight, rejoiced in the embrace of their waiting families. Amidst this sea of people, a distinguished lady runs anxiously. She appeared disoriented, probably escaping the confines of her home.
Draped in an elegant white gown crafted from delicate fabric, her face remained veiled beneath an ethereal chapel. It was evident that she found herself in an unfamiliar and precarious environment. Suddenly, the young lady approached a beggar, extending a generous coin.
Seated upon the ground, the beggar looked up at her squarely in the eyes.
"May God repay your kindness," the beggar uttered.
"If you could assist me, I am plagued by a gnawing hunger." Said the young lady. Without further ado, the young beggar guided her towards a close tavern.
The naive girl perched herself on a barstool, casting fearful glances at the commoners who frequented the establishment. Meanwhile, the beggar clandestinely maneuvered his way towards a group of boisterous, inebriated men seated in the corner of the tavern. Their conversation alluded to a nefarious agreement.Having received his coin, the beggar hastily departed.

A man of considerable height, close to two meters, stood up from his seat and approached her. His build was sturdy, he had a few missing teeth and a noticeable limp in one leg. Extending his hand, he held a strand of her wiry, red hair. Her wavy locks beautifully framed her olive green eyes, which showed nothing but fear.
"How dare you, sir," the lady exclaimed, attempting to stand from the stool.
"Where do you think you're going, my daring one?" Said the man.“ I bought you,you legally belong to me now”
And so he effortlessly lifted her onto his back as if she were a mere sack of potatoes. Desperately, the lady struggled to break free, screaming and striking him, but her efforts were futile against a man of his stature.
She called out for help, her voice filled with fear, yet the others dared not meet her gaze, all equally terrified of the man bearing her weight.
Eventually, she relinquished her futile attempts and surrendered to her fate.
"Consider yourself fortunate, my dear. The captain has a particular fondness for redheads, or else your mouth would be too occupied to let out a scream," the toothless man remarked, sporting a yellow smile.
Exiting the tavern, they ventured a short distance beyond the Porto's outskirts. The man guided her towards a canoe, and together, they made their way to a pirate ship. Thrown into what appeared to be a cramped cell aboard the vessel, she found herself trapped within its dark confines. The only sounds accompanying her were that of scurrying rats and her own cries for freedom.
Not long after, the captain's voice echoed through the ship.
"A present?! For me!!! Haha ha. "
“Sure thing,Captain Macaster. A noble lady, a redhead. A rare gem, yet to be tamed,"
“ Bet still virgin, make your bets man, cause I’m soon to find out”.
The old captain stuttered as he approached the cell.
“Bet she’s a screamer” -another man shouted.
