Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 52
Back Home
Captain Desmet’s fears were unfounded, and we encountered no ships during the journey to Kapri. My heart was joyous as we neared land. We waited offshore until nightfall. Then we approached the port. That night, I said my goodbyes to the crew and entered a rowboat with Captain Peanut Butter and Stout. They rowed me up the canal and stopped short of the village. We climbed out of the boat to say our final farewells.
“I am glad to see you safely home but sad to think I may never see you again, my friend,” Captain Peanut Butter said.
“As am I. But I feel it in my bones that we will meet again,” I replied.
“I hope it is true.”
“Stout grabbed me in an embrace and said, “Take care of yourself. And Andelbert and his new bride. I will miss your company.”
“I will miss you also, my friend. Watch out for the crew.”
“Aye, I will.”
With that, they got back in the rowboat and rowed silently back toward The Jellyfish. I watched as they disappeared into the night.
