Year: 2018 Language: english Author: Paul M. Maher ISBN: 978-1729743980 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 76 Description: Fate feeds on the energy of adventurers and treasure hunters. Fate bends in directions providing them with good or bad circumstances well outside of their personal control. Presented here are true-life stories of the sea, retelling strange coincidence, luck, curses and of searches for hidden treasure! Hidden treasure, those are two words which are calculated to make the sturdiest heart beat faster in excitement and anticipation. They create an emotional longing few can resist, a desperate ecstasy in their need, often compelling men to take desperate risks with an optimism that seldom goes beyond sanity. Often their doom has been set in motion, their dreams divorced from reality. And those Pirates of old were in the habit of burying their treasure, as there was little else they could do, being no finance centres in those times. And if they took it to a port it would only invite many awkward questions. Even if it was kept aboard their ship, there would always be a risk of mutiny or the vessel being sunk in bad weather or captured by enemies. Fate bringing revenge down on them, repaying them for their sins, wicked fools living in a wicked world. For other seafarers and treasure seekers, some were resiliant to survive the cards which had been dealt out to them, released from their actions by chance or merciful providence, becoming free from the burden of doom to continue their lives, either wealthy, transported to a richer world or impoverished, left with their memories of sea roving adventure.
