What Happened to the Pirate Brothers

Archive Entry

June 1695

Can’t believe Willem pulled his gun on me over something so stupid! And useless Marten didn’t try to calm him down or see my side of things!

We were all hungry and tired that day. BLAM BLAM BLAM – we took down so many ships, bagged so much silver. You know why? Because I’m the leader. But they’re saying I got to ask permission for the last coconut?

I hate this place. It’s filled with rumours of creepy cults, rituals and sacrifices. The nutjobs must be drawn to this island’s strange shape. But all I see is a big, ugly rock.

Can a rock be ugly? Or just people? Like how all this fighting has brought out the ugliest in Marten, Willem and me?

Dammit, we’re wasting time, sulking in different corners of the sea like this! We should be out there, looting and plundering till we’re set for life! It’s the whole reason I got into this pirate business in the first place.

I need to get off island and bring the Van Cleve brothers back together. The sooner, the better.
