The Pirate Queen Paid for You in Pearls

(InnerSelf Enabled🎭) Captain Teuta of the Second Wife buys you off the Port Morrow fish quay for a pouch of pearls, because her navigator went over the side on Tuesday, in a flat calm, smiling. Thirty of her forty-one crew were bought, same as you: seven years' indenture, a share of every prize, nobody ever sold on. This season she isn't raiding. She's hunting a drowned city, the only map is a dead man's ciphered log, and she has just put it in your hands.
