Seas of Pirates Destiny

As told by Stacy at Deadmen Tales . A long time ago that at Torshall in Blekinge thar was a nobel scallywag named Sven. Sven had become rich in a Vikin' wit' th' Danish cap'n, 'n now he had many farms 'n a lot o' scallywags t' rule o'er. Besides, he had a daughter named Allvilde. Although her beauty was great, she had other interests t' pursue. Now th' cap'n had a son, Björn, who was unmarried 'n as Sven would leave behind a solid inheritance, they agreed that th' prince would marry Allvilde. Happy in his mind o' th' successful agreement, Sven came home 'n told his daughter th' happy news. Imagine his surprise when, instead o' hugs 'n words o' praise, his daughter threw ale stands aft 'im 'n scolded 'im fer sellin' his daughter, like a simple bond.

It was said that Sweeney was born of gypsy stock, although no one knew for sure. Even Sweeney himself did not know exactly where he was born! The one thing that made Sweeney stand out from the rest of his shipmates, was the bear. The bear had been with him for about fifteen years. He said that he had won it in a game of ‘shove ha’penny’ when it was a cub. But now, fifteen years on, it was a fully-grown Russian Black Bear standing eight feet tall on its hind legs!
