Dawnbreaker
🕑 Added 2025-09-20 21:28:43 +0000 UTCY'know, no ship ever spoke to me quite like that one did. Nor have I ever learnt so much from it's voyages as I did any other. We was a tight knit crew, we was.
I was fresh from the docks when I got my first chance at joinin' the crew. Patrol missions, mostly. Y'see, at that time the republic was at war, and it was up to us to keep the trade routes safe. The Dawnbreaker came out on top of impossible odds on more than one occasion, I'd say. But as time went on and diplomacy changed, well, war was less of a concern. That didn't mean things were safer for us, mind you."The old sailor adjusted his position on his stool, taking another swig out of his tankard with his remaining arm. His new position shed light on the scarred side of his face.
"After the war, well, the plight of the Eastern Coast Turtle Dragon attacks began. The task fell to us and 3 other warships hobbled together from the remnants of the navy. We had us our harpoons strapped to air-filled drums to slow it down and force it to the surface, but all that did was make it mad. We watched as it tore apart one ship after another, all the while filling it with what might as well have been sewing pins."
His face, solemn and grey, began to look even older and more tired as he collected his memories of the voyage.
"Sure, we tired the creature out and we filled it full of holes, but we lost everything in the process. It couldn't dive, and our harpoons gouged out every soft bit we could find. The Dawnbreaker was the only ship to make it back, and I can't even tell ye today if we succeeded in our quest. But I know one thing, nothing could take the Dawnbreaker down after what I seen. If the Giant from Beneath couldn't take it down, I'd reckon that that ship will outlive us all."
