The Merchant ship incident actually happens here!
This isn’t my magnum opus, the backstory need a little clean-up. I told it in a rather lazy, oversimplified and almost abridged way when I was writing it down, as I didn’t expect somebody to be actually interested.
For continuity sake, Nicholas was 17 at the time. They gained some fame and they were the talk of the local sea and beyond, the story was published to the Agora after all. Their mind still wonders about the old dreams sometimes. Perhaps it was fate, but they REALLY hate the concept of fate, doing their best to change the future. If fate is set, then chaos can’t exist, right?
Also, they still talk to their master/teacher (Simon Torres), who is at a rather advanced age these days; not being able to join their crew of merry men or sail anymore, he spends his days retired in Sameria at Al-Jahili, occasionally being commissioned for help with ship design.
