Cap’n Fokke, a mermaid and the devil...
Old Bernie, they claimed, must’ve made a pact wit the devil ‘emself! He be known for his legendary speeds sailin’ the Atlantic, shattering records held by the Spanish Armada. Being a lowly swab at th’ time, I had no say in his ill-fated deal to sail through the treacherous and cursed sea rounding the Cape of Good Hope. But the Captain swore an oath and refused to let the devil get th’ best of ‘em. Turns out, the ensuing maelstrom swallowed th’ ship, sending it straight to the rotten stink of Davy Jones Locker. Even th’ sailors that did survive were torn apart in the feverish shark infested water. The lone survivor I be, lucky to stay afloat on the bosom of the ship's figurehead prow.
