Chapter 2 by Drakin929
What does Mila decide?
Special 1
The coins aren't all the pirates are seeking. In truth there is another set of magical items Darius has his eyes out for, but for different reasons.
In addition to 'The Wizards Treasure', he seeks 'The Sorceress' Runes'. A magical set of eight rune stones created by a sorceress attempting to channel the darkest natures of the world.
Seven of the stones are rooted in the Seven Deadly Sins: Greed, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Envy, and Gluttony. Each was meant to be a focal point for all of that sins influence in the world. The eighth is unknown. Rumored to be a 'control rune', the exact nature of what it was meant to be was lost as the sorceress was killed by a good knight before she could complete it.
The runs, like the coins were scattered across the lands. Darius seeks to find them and destroy them, believing if they're destroyed their grip on the world of mortels will be lost forever. However, the legends also say whoever collects all eight would have the magical powers of a dark god.
RUNE RULES:
Each of the runes, once touched, will bestow a small amount of 'taint' regarding their sin.
Individuals can be 'tainted' multiple times.
Some physical changes may occur regarding taint. The lusty might get more 'endowed'. The greedy might show some dragon hoarding traits. The envious or the wrathful might get a little more 'monstrous'. Etc.
The goal is still the coins, but now the runes are in the mix too.

The Pirate's Fate
Expanded Universe
Before anything else, be aware this Interactive is based on the visual novel 'The Pirates Fate' available on Steam. So if this at all piques your interest... ===================================== GO BUY IT! ===================================== Seriously, it's only $20 and it's worth it if you're into this sort of thing. ===================================== http://store.steampowered.com/app/553480/The_Pirates_Fate/ ====================================== Ye be warned, there be (slight) spoilers ahead. ===================================== Here's the plot. ====================================== In a world of wooden ships, pirates, enchanted lands, and magic we follow the character Mila. A young feline spice merchant who had the happenstance to buy a necklace with a gold coin in it before setting sail. As the story opens Mila's ship has been sunk in a storm and she awakens, rescued by a group calling themselves The Dread Pirates. ===================================== They are led by captain Darious. A tall, strong, brown furred canine with a short mat of redish-pink hair pulled back into a short tuft. Darious goal is a noble one. Despite the name of the crew, he repeatedly states it's just a name, and they're more akin to treasure hunters. In fact they are on what other might perceive as a 'noble quest' were their situation different. (See below) ===================================== His first mate is Morgana, a tan hog-nosed bat with long, curly black hair. She's dangerous and vicious, but that's something of a facade. She was born in jail (a subject she's very touchy about), ran with a group of pirates that were extremely nasty and did things she regretted, and then when Darious found her abandoned by the pirate he called his rival, he took her in and showed her kindness. She's still very rough, but that shell has begun to crack given the right encouragement. ===================================== The last member of the pirates at start is Leeko. A short corgi who, like Mila, also used to be a merchant. However he admits he wasn't very good at it and somehow wound up with Darius and his crew. Just because he's very good with maps they made him a cartographer. He's timid and shy, but open and honest and really speaks as the rational counterpoint to Morgana's brash blustering. ===================================== As stated, Darius claims their goal is a noble one. Long ago a powerful wizard sought to rid the wold of the ills and troubles that filled it. He summoned all his magic and channeled it into golden coins intending to use them to reshape the world. However he died before the final step in the process and the coins were lost, scared across the many lands. ===================================== Mila has found one of them. The inscription reads 'Become what you seek'. ===================================== All the coins have powers to reshape the ones who touch them. But for good or ill remains to be seen. =====================================
