in a single day and night of misfortune

The pup looks down the tunnel, knowing he heard a sound but unsure if there really is someone there. A small sneeze escapes and he almost yelps as a tall, pretty lady, suddenly steps out from the shadows further down. Jack’s fur hangs heavily on his frame, filled with the salty water of the ocean he had just swam. Grateful for the company and seemingly nice lady, he offers her warm, albeit slightly uncertain, smile as he moves forward while he silently hopes she isn’t one of those wolves who hates pirates and kills them on sight.

Still, he isn’t going to allow the cold and possibility of murder dampen his spirits, he is here to explore! Nearing the big lady, Cal happily says, “ ‘Ello! I’m Calico Jack! I just wanted to see what this island is all about. Kind of… misjudged how cold and long the swim was.” A chuckle bounces off the dark walls of the tunnel before a sneeze quickly follows after it. Stepping forward, the boy is eager to see what this island has to offer. From the shore he seen mountains cloaked with snow and the heads of tall trees had even poked up from the center.

With a bounce is in his steps, he moves along, happy to be out explore even if he is just in a tunnel for the moment. The smooth rock is slippery under his soaked paws but the smell of those trees draws him onward, making him unafraid of slipping and falling flat on his face.

"Calico Jack"
