Jo sent me this narwal, but he's not the one Captain Vix seeks. Gotta keep lookin...* treasure, loot, booty = books
* note from goliath:
cawwwwwww
as ye know, dead men tell no tales.
best think thrice before joining me mistress on this journey.
me bein a parrot and in accompaniment of me mistress since birth, i sees aplenty.
her dagger play has gotten her out of many scrapes, but luck seems to also be on her side.
i bid thee warning.
me mistress is after the narwal for more than just the treasure.
somethin' even more precious was stolen.
who knows at what lengths me mistress will travel and do...
cawwwwwww
