You finally return to the Island of Guyot after all these years. What a sight to behold! The tiny port welcomes the Sweaty with the hope of fresh caught fish or other valuable trade goods- but strangely, another ship is already docked. It's sailing white flags, which means they would have a Lady Death aboard. Why would one of them be here?
---
Your father, the Coralman, suffered an accident. The splinters of fire coral that he handled found their way into his veins, and up towards his heart. He cannot speak anymore, but he can listen and feel as all the near-dying do. He has been denied the other deaths- and lays unmoving in his bed.
"Normally, we follow in the path of wars of slaver campaigns... But when I got the news, I had to come."
Your Aunt, one of the Lady Deaths, has come to relieve your father's suffering. She moves to embrace you, but you flinch.
<span class="mu-r">"Is it safe to touch you, Lady Death?"</span>
"Do you truly wish to stop living? Are you ready to pass on?"
<span class="mu-r">"No."</span>
"Then I cannot hurt you if I tried. Come."
You hug her. She is cold. The timing couldn't be more perfect, but the moment is still sad. You feel guilty; not even a week ago you were partying with the lads over a recent catch, all while your father was suffering for months since his accident. It is clear he is not going to recover, this is the fate for all the unfortunates who do not die gruesomely enough to sate the thirst of the Deaths. Now, it comes down to mercy. Your mother is crying at seeing her Sister's all white eyes, but she seems happy too. She tells you that the Pink Lady was just finished before the accident, and your father couldn't be prouder. It is time to say goodbye.
>Promise to become a great Captain
>Tell him you'll take care of Mother
>Thank him for finishing the Lady
>Say nothing
You also now have a chance to change your name. With your Father soon to be gone, your new identity will no longer be tied to parenthood. Of course, Sylvester will always be your <span class="mu-i">real</span> name, but you will be the captain of your own ship. What name do you wish to choose?
>Captain Sylvester is fine
>Captain Sly
>Captain Redbeard
