The Adventure of the Legendary Sword

I used to come to this island often with the ship and my teammates. In the ship, some people had lots of treasures and experiences. However, I didn’t know most of the members. I didn’t even remember the rules of sailing and how to be a successful adventurer at that time.

We used to came here every month but I didn’t know why at first. Every time we came here, the leader would look at the map, point to the trees and ask us to take our digging tools. Then we walked around the island and headed into the forest. Every time we went back to our ship we left nothing but tree limbs and a lot of holes.

I once asked my only friend there, ‘Do you know why we come here?’ He thought for a while. Then he shook his head, said nothing, and stared at his telescope again. I became more curious about the mystery from that on, and I would sometimes stop fixing the ship and thought about it. Maybe there was some treasure on the island. Or the leader might want to see someone important. Another reason I thought was there were some rituals and he wanted to catch them, but who knows? I thought about it until the leader stared at me furiously. I stopped my thinking and went back to work.

Until one day I knew the reason.

That day the leader was sick and my friend took the job of being the leader temporarily. He leads us to the same island and we started working again. Suddenly, a group of people ran towards us. They wore black hats and each of them had a knife. They ordered us to give them the treasure.

‘Treasure? We don’t know if there is any treasure!’ we replied.

They took an axe and chopped down one of the trees.  The fallen tree limb suddenly transformed into a gleaming sword. When they were trying to take the sword, I had an idea to stop them. I took a rope and tied it on their captain’s right foot. I pulled the rope and the captain fell. When they were in a panic, we successfully took the sword, tied the pirates up and sent them back to our ship.

When the leader saw us with the sword, he told us that we went to the island is because of the treasure - the legendary sword. The leader gave us a lot of rewards, including giving me a ship and the legendary sword.

Now I am a great adventurer, with my adventure team and ship. We travel a lot and we are one of the best adventure teams in the world. Although I am successful, I still remember my old teammates, and now we are good friends.

And here is my story.
