Wacky´s tale

Sitting on the couch in her room while one of the storms that signalled the arrival of the rain season was razing outside, a young Princess Ira were telling a story to her littlesister Princess Eza.   There lived a small girl in one of the small coastal villages; when she was little, she dreamed about becoming a sailor and seeing the wider world as she felt she was trapped in the small village, but her family kept saying that she should be satisfied with her life and settle for the fisherman life.    The little girl was sad that her family didn't support her and, for the longest time, tried to forget about her dream of seeing the world until one day after a storm had washed a warship up onto the beach just outside the little girl's village. The village helped the wounded sailors back to health and helped make the ship seaworthy again before saying goodbye to the sailors who, once out of sight of the village, got a small surprise in the shape of the little girl that had sneaked onboard the ship and hidden herself away, she told the sailors about her dream of seeing the world, at first the sailors wanted to return to the village with the girl. Still, the wind picked up and took the ship further from the village. Reluctantly the sailors agreed but demanded that the little girl write to her parents and tell them where she had gone.   Several years later, the little girl had grown into a fine young woman with ashen-coloured hair and eyes as blue as the sea, and she had taken the name Wacky and had probably visited every major seaport on the continent.     No one knowns what happened to the young woman, but legends say that she went down in a storm, not unlike the one that had first taken her to sea. Likewise, Another legend that seems to be connected to Wacky´s tale is that of the Dercian warship HMDS Anzio as one of the legends that surround that ship is that of a young woman with ashen coloured hair and with a fire burning in her eyes that every time the ship goes into battle raises from the sea and follows.

This is fun story. Those poor sailors ended up being babysitters for a few years, I guess. XD

Nice!
I hope Wacky also passed home once or twice in those years at sea.
