How I Lost Me Leg
by russruss1234

Before ye' goes on in this gruesome and vicious tale, I would like ter' dedicate this book to me crew, who if hadn't been there I should have lost quite much more then just me leg.

Back in the day I was one of 'dem pirates that smuggled all of them purty weapons to ol' Smugglers Cove. Me'n'me crew sailed the seven seas for many an' age lookin' for only the finest battledome weapons. However, there was one place we dare not tread. It was directly above the ol' city o' Maraqua. Yes, Maraquans and we pirates were mortal enemies we were. I figured if me crew'n'me stayed away from them, they would stay away from us. However, one day that changed.

Rumor had it that a new shipment of these 'super vegetable' weapons had come from outer space. We decided this was too great of an opputunity to miss, so we went bought the 2 bags of 100 frozen 'Attack Peas'. The strange green man who sold them to us said we had 24 hours before they unfroze, and that we DID NOT want to be there when they did.

The route we had taken to get there took a good 36 hours, in order to get back we had to go directly over Maraqua, it was worth it because we could sell the peas for big dubloons.

The night was a dark and stormy night and bloke couldn't see two inches infront of him. All of the sudden a huge wave came and took our ship under water. Thousands of glowing weapons came up from below, the rest of me crew was scared out of their minds, but not a fierce experienced pirate like me. They came up and as they neared I could see many aquatic creatures shouting "Fear the might of Maraqua and Maractite!" Next thing I new I was fighting hand to hand with their warriors. I was doin' fine, even though their weapons were much faster than mine in the water! My crew saw I was on the brink of death and came and save me. Next thing I knew me leg was gone. I had enough so I swam to the top and got on a large raft with the frozen peas.

I was ashamed of what I done next, I was a true scaliwag then. I abandoned my crew and steered towards the cove with my bandaged stump.

When I got back to krawk island I sold the peas for a high amount and with the money build a training school to train young warriors how to defeat the Maraquan Scum that killed me crew.
