Here Be Dragons

Joke (don’t ask him why his name is Joke) is the ruthless pirate captain of the finest sky ship in all the eight worlds. When he tries to double cross the pirate queen, she sends him on a quest (call it exile if you want) to find the ninth world.

Joke hopes to finds dragons out there, because he intends to tame one. He hopes the partner he’s been lumped with falls overboard. He hopes his ship’s shape changing figurehead turns into something more dashing than a penguin, which rather spoils the effect of the majestic galleon cutting through the stars...

I hope you enjoy the story.
