The King's Command
“Well, we seem to have found ourselves in a shitty situation,” you break the silence. “Any idea how to escape this hell hole?”
“Friend, you’re better off accepting your new life. Lady Myrr is the most powerful person in all of Miranna. And in Miranna, the powerful dictate the law,” the Librarian, Harold, answers.
“What about you, big guy? Any ideas?” you address the hairy man.
The man stares off in the distance before responding, “There is no escape. Only suffering.”
“Quite the couple of optimistic cellmates they put me with. For once I’m regretting not paying enough attention during history lessons. Care to inform me on Miranna?” you ask.
“You’ve never heard of Miranna? It’s only the most notorious pirate island in the Daen Sea! There has never been an established government on this island because the pirate lords have always overthrown whoever tried colonizing it. Doesn’t matter which major superpower tries: Rath, The Jeika Dominion, even the Kingdom of Brelia hasn’t been able to control Miranna. Her land promises fortune and her seas bring destruction! Lady Myrr has the most influence and no one wants to be on her bad side. The last house that opposed her vanished in the night... The occupants did at least. The building is still there,” you see the excitement in Harold’s face as he gets to share his life study.
“So let me get this straight, the island is run by pirates, but somehow the most powerful person is this ‘Lady Myrr’? Why hasn’t some bad mother fucker with a giant hat and peg leg taken charge?” you question.
“Ah you mean Captain Myrr. Yeah, he used to be in charge. Before the Lady slit his throat in front of his crew, that is. She may be pretty looking and lady-like, but she’s bat-shit crazy. Don’t let her polite manners fool you. She’s a devil. She was royalty in some faraway land before getting kidnapped and sold by her usurping uncle. She spent years as a slave doing god knows what before catching the attention of a certain pirate lord. She’s a dangerous mix of noble intelligence and slave ruthlessness.”
“She does sound the intriguing character.” you say. “I think I’d very much like to meet the Lady.”
“Your funeral.”
