⛵️ The memories to the chest

"Write about a pirate captain obsessed with finding a mythical treasure."

Legends are made to be followed. Stories to be singed. Fables, to be shared, and myths, myths to be proved. The myth which in Saboga, the only city in the Atlantic ocean where potable water could be bought, goes like this:

One day, on a cold night of winter, a miserable and mighty pirate hid thousands of Californium coins in a chest under a powerful spell defined as "Kiturus Magnus." Said money was enough to buy the entire city of Saboga—the Pachacuti's living place. Before sailing on his last trip, the pirate Usturiun studied with a merciless wizard for years. The result? The hidden location of the chest was never discovered. The imperium lasted for centuries. About the half pirate half wizard and his wealth, nothing else was ever heard.  

"In the Americas, everybody knows the myth; however, no one believes it is true; dozens of generations have lived in peace. Many more will do the same. Besides, stupidity is not welcomed in my reign." By The Great Pachacuti Arwen notes.

    "The location! Panama! The coins! Arwen!" jolted awake Jafari. "I somehow remember its spot, the perfect path, the weather, the food, that day! But wait, what is this place?" 

    "Holy pearls!" a nurse passing by the bed muttered.

    "Excuse me, who are you, and where am I?" asked Jafari after prolonged coughings.

    "Ocu, Panama. The doctor's city. Welcome, Sr. to the Legolas imperium," the same girl responded. 

    "Your clothes are weird. What are you using?"

    "My job clothing, Sr." walking backward to the striped white-and-blue wall across the exit door, she touched an alarm button on the wall. "My name is Calliope, and your name is Jafari, Jafari Usturiun. 

    "Oh, oh, I see—"

    "You've been sleeping for two hundred years. My job, as well as that of all my ancestors, has been looking after you. We have never found a comma like yours. That's why we have you in a maximum-security fortress."

    "Besides, you are the most wanted man on earth. Every ruler in the world needs what you have in your memories. Particularly, the location of the chest."

    "Oh, oh, yes, I recall the place and the experience. The Pachacuti Arwen tried to kill me that day. The beverage he gave me had something on it. He remembered the accident that sent him to Ocu's city and what the doctors did to him after he arrived.

    "I was going to die of hypothermia," added Usturiun. He heard a lot of noise in the hallway next to his room. 

    "Yes, my great-grandmother's great-grandmother," her gaze looked to the floor. A troop of four soldiers broke into the white chamber.

    "Wait, stop! Where are you carrying me?" 

    "You are going to lead us to the chest...We will buy the imperium! I won't be a slave anymore!" Calliope said. Her creepy smile and wide-opened eyes made her look scary.
