<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Catherine smiled when David said he could handle any misfortune she could bring. Shaking her head, Catherine laughed a little. She didn't believe women were unlucky on a ship. She knew pirates believed it, though. But in that point she did not agree with them. In everything else, she would accepted whatever her mystery visitor said. But not this. Catherine knew that she was just as capable as any man, and that she would not bring bad luck by boarding a pirate ship.<br/><br/>And of course, if David was to be the captain, nothing more natural than for her to be his first mate. She listened while she talked to himself, not bothering to correct her friend. She had told him enough stories about pirates for him to know the structures.<br/><br/>When he asked how they should name their crew, the girl stood up and picked up a stick, starting a mock-sword-fight with her friend. <span style="color: #BF00BF">"I like the Crimsom Swords"</span>, she replied. <span style="color: #BF00BF">"But where are we going to get a ship? Or shall we have a small one built for us and then take over a bigger one?"</span></span></div>
