Sorry this is late I was traveling and I couldn't publish before I left because I still needed the name of Annice's town.

Calypso's Rage
Three
Jack guided the ship with an expert hand avoiding the sunken buildings that were beneath us. he took us to a small island that looked deserted from a distance but when we enter the bay, its easy to see that it is not deserted at all.
Little shacks made out of various materials are scattered around the island, the one thing that was similar about them was that they were ready to be removed at a moments notice. The only building on the island that wasn't like that was the one that had been build long before we found the island. It had the best view of the bay and was where I lived when we weren't on the ship.
The crew cheered when we docked, and set to work unloading the cargo and checking over the Calypso's Rage to see if anything needed to be repaired or replaced.
Once Jack had let go of the wheel I asked "Anything of note since I've been away."
"Captain Garrison sent a message saying he wanted to talk, we sent one back saying that you were currently busy." He replied as we walked down the deck
I sighed "I dislike dealing with Garrison. We'll see how long his patience lasts."
Jack's mouth twitched in amusement but he continued with business "Lady Annice said she is expecting a visit from you and said to "not be wearing that foolish boy outfit" she was quite serious."
"Fine, I won't show up in a boy outfit, I'll wear my captain one."
He rolled his eyes "She's not going to like that."
"To bad, I'm a captain so I'll be dressed as one."
We got off the ship and walked down the dock. "We got a good haul for that merchant the crew will be glad to go into town." Jack mentioned
I nodded "Then we can go tomorrow, I suspect that I am not the only one that she summoned."
"While you're talking to her I will sell the goods we don't need and pass out the shares."
"I suspect that the others will want to talk so we will probably be staying the night."
He stops in the road "I'll tell the lads, you go sleep. You're going to need it if you deal with the other captains tomorrow."
I rolled my eyes and walked up to my house.
The next morning, I dressed in my normal captain attire. When Jack came to get me he just chuckled and shook his head. We set off no to long after that the ride was uneventful, until the crew realized we were headed to Vale, a town run by Annice, and a safe place for pirates to relax. We docked and I jumped off the ship and I left Jack to deal with the crew. As I was walking towards Annice's house, I spotted a pirate waiting for me.
He was decked out in red and black, by the way he carried himself it was easy to see that he was an experienced pirate. "I thought that I saw Calypso's Rage coming in and it looks like I was right. Nice to see you again, Caspian."
I put on the devilish smile people expected of Caspian and said "I'm assuming you were summoned too, Kane."
He laughed and nodded. "Aye lad, I just arrived myself. We can greet the Lady together."
