(Story from the past, Pt 5)
Aaron Pov:
Because Emma was down we decided we would recontinue the story.
Jake the Survivor Pov:
As I had lived in the village for two years I had needed new clothes. When I left on my journey thirty three years ago I only brought one pair of clothes. Those clothes were my Baggy, Camo, Cargo pants and a White nylon long-sleeved shirt. With those I had a brown Coleman jacket from my uncle made for cold weather.
I looked at myself in a Mirror in the village My pants were still baggy, but my shirt pressed tight from muscles. You could see every inch and fiber of it so when I had time I made new ones. I put my old clothes in my Item box to save for another time. My old clothes were pretty torn up.
I made furry pants that would normally be found by Vikings in their time. I made a cloth shirt that fit perfectly on me, and I made a vest and Jacket. My old Jacket was still alright, but it needed stitching so I stored it for later. The vest would go over my shirt and the jacket would normally by left down tucked into my pants at the bottom, not on my arms or shoulder.
I made my way across the continent until I reached a port city, taking my time. I like the outdoors and enjoyed taking in the view a lot. I am glad we decided to make vehicles forbidden, because then this would not be fun. The city I arrived at would eventually become a famous one in the country. I don't know what will happen after my lifetime but it was the second biggest to the capital at the time.
I entered the port city to see a multitude of shops, the weather was perfect for how my clothes were in the cold climate. Since it was winter there were icebergs around the continent, but during the summer they would go down a lot. By that I mean south away from the continent.
But the second I entered I was arrested because I seemed, suspicious? They took me to the guard building and the captain of the knights came to interrogate me. I wasn't going to break out as it would make me a fugitive and suspicious as they said. But I also had no reason to leave as I was innocent.
The second the captain saw me he gaped and backed up. The men had asked why to which he had told them what I did two years ago. I was a fifty five year old man who had defeated a great demon by myself. At that I was immediately let free and they tried to repay me for doing something wrong. So I asked where the federation of trade was.
They told me it was on a island to the south. There was also a town called Aqua town in-between two sunken ruins that was interesting. When they told me that I laughed and they asked why. When I told them that when I was younger I helped build that island, they were flabbergasted. Why was a builder adventuring around the world when he built the impossible!
Anyway I left the town since it was the wrong port to get there and got to the closest point. When I arrived I was beside a forest and I decided to do something I hadn't since I was eighteen. That was to build a Viking ship, but this time by myself instead of with my father. By now he must be in his late eighty's, I am a bad son if he died and I missed his funeral.
First thing I did was carve a grave stone in case I did and put unreadable runes on it. The only ones who can read it would be my council I created. I had taught them Viking for times of need to send unreadable messages. It was a lost language that I had revived by myself for fun.
Then I built a ship over the next year. As I did no-one came to see what was happening to the forest. I was a man who was by this world considered old, but to me, I was not even thirty! I was brimming with life and would not die that easily. I was one of the most powerful people in this continent section.
I had originally used a small rowboat to go around the continents. But I had sold that when I went to the glacier since I did not know when I would see it again. Back then I had shoulder length hair, a mustache, and beard. Now I was a man with waist length hair, and a mustache, and beard down to his chest! This is more like a Dwarf than a Human as I think about it.
I finish making the hull and add the mast. All that is left is to sow the sails of the ship now. As I do so I think about the insignia that I should put on it. As I do I think back to those beasts that I had seen before in the dungeon. I put the insignia on and hang it on the mast. I look at it and I am quite happy with myself, even if it is copyrighted technically.
I sail off to the town called Aqua town in my ship with the Dragon insignia sail.
