A pirate captain was the heart of a pirate crew. Alex wanted to be an even better captain to those men. They fought together against the guards of the merchant ship, a skirmish that didn't last long, and one Alex and his crew knew they would win. But it still felt good to be winning.
"Grab the boxes and everything of value. Then, burn the ship!" shouted Alex.
"Yaaaaaa!" the pirates shouted back.
All members of the pirate crew started bringing out boxes filled with goods to Alex's ship. He thought about helping them out, but everything had its limit. Helping to grab the boxes wouldn't make him look good to his crew. So, he just watched, observing the horizon, the waves, and the seagulls flying in the distance. Everything was simultaneously beautiful and real, to the point that Alex had a hard time believing it could be a dream.
"Captain," a female voice echoed, "Will we go to the island today? I think we can reach it in time before nightfall."
