Killian's POV

It was another day at the village as my brother, Liam, and I strolled through the dusty streets filled with loud, annoying people. We had just came from a journey through the seas retrieving a jewel called the Eye of the Storm. We had lost our crew due to the storm and had permission from our king to look for new recuits among his kingdom. Our king was very pleased at our work and was determined to upgrade our wages, which made us happy.

Liam was my older brother and my only family that I had since our father abandoned us and our mother died from a terrible sickness when we were young. I missed my parents hoping that we all could just be one big happy family, but for now it was just Liam and I, so we had each other's back through our rustic adventures through the sea.

It was our dream to one day have our own ship and be captains of our own crew, but we had to take that as a daydream since we served the king now. We were the best of the best adventurers that the king had and he wasn't going to let us go that easily knowing that we were always by his side since we were at a young age. I didn't mind it at all, but I think Liam wanted to make some changes in our middle - aged life.

Anyway, Liam carried a slip of paper for anyone who would want to be in our new crew and so far we had 19 men willing to sign up and so we just needed one more signature...one more person, but who?

Liam knocked on so many doors, but no one signed up. Liam asked random people strolling by, but no one signed up. Liam tried giving a speech for having a new life, but no one signed up. We finally gave up and just went with what we had until I heard our names being shouted out like a woman's voice coming from behind us and I looked at Liam and we both turned around.
