Intro What has become of my life?-a series 💰🪙🪙🪙 ×× dear diary, today, the 14th of April 1702, I'm writing you because I have to say something that has been bothering me for a while. I need to take it off my chest. They don't allow women like us on board. "You're too soft and fragile," they said. "them" being men, of course. pirates, to be exact. I want to be on a ship soooo bad... to feel the wooden deck under my feet, the sea-wind in my hair, to hear the sound of the waves crashing at the front of the boat, everything is so.. magical, so exciting, about being a pirate. but I can’t be one, I'm not allowed to. a woman's purpose is to marry into a descent family and give her husband an heir, not to follow her ambitions and travel the world to explore the secrets that it hides..... sigh, I wish I was a man. You know what? I might not be a man, but I can trick them into thinking I am. hmm, which persona should I take... how about... a cleaner boy! I'll cut my hair, wear baggy clothes and smudge some mud on my face to hide my features: a perfect disguise! okay okay, I gotta go and start with my plan. I can't wait for it to work! talk to you later, my diary!! yours truly, Daniel ×× ((the third day: getting to know the mysterious blacksmith)) The past two days were so hard to manage. I got to know Captain Matthias and his right hand man Alejandro, who was surprisingly friendly, but also pretty rough and... kind of stupid? he's definitely less intelligent compared to the captain, even when I feel like he's much stronger. but from running around, trying to prove myself to the crew, to cleaning the ship, I'm already so tired... but today we finally set sail! we arrived at the harbour city like fourty minutes ago, and are now taking a break before going to the blacksmith for some weapons. actually I'm very curious about him. some say he's over seven feet tall, others say he lost his eyesight battling with an ancient dragon. ah, I'm so excited to meet him! wish me luck!!
