Seven Islands: Island One: Seavine

Prologue

It was early in the afternoon in 1656, when a man walked through the crowded path towards the big town. He had seven sacks and a mat on his shoulders. He went straight to the path with stores and rolled the mat on the dirt. He took out a rock from every sack and placed it on the mat. People looked at the man with curiosity, or they just wanted to see him get arrested. A soldier ran towards the stranger and looked at him with glaring eyes. They kicked the mat and whispered into his dirty ears,

You're not supposed to be here.
The man looked back at the soldiers. He responded with a trembling voice,
Bu But I I thought I was allowed hehere.
This is your second time selling rocks at unlicensed places. You don't own this place, Bryce.

Before Bryce could finish his sentence, the soldier kicked him in the head. Bryce let out a loud cry and fell on the dirt. Before anyone could hear his small mumbling words, the soldier tied his wrists with a thick rope and pulled him to the dock. He handed Bryce over to a man with a long orange beard. The bearded man took Bryce in a gigantic wooden ship and Bryce was never seen in town ever again.
