Garared Canao joins the Merchant Navy as cabin boy, under his father, serving on the Red Eight.
In the year 13904, Garared Canao, a young Hangardian, joined the Merchant Navy as a cabin boy under his father, Jormin Canao, who was a seasoned sailor and the captain of the famous flagship "The Red Eight." Garared was eager to follow in his father's footsteps and embark on adventures on the high seas. He was fascinated by the stories his father told him about the wonders of the world, and he yearned to see them for himself.
As they sailed across the oceans and seas, Jormin taught Garared everything he knew about navigation, seamanship, and combat. Garared proved to be a quick learner, and he soon became an invaluable member of the crew. He worked tirelessly, performing all sorts of tasks, from scrubbing the decks to rigging the sails and handling the ship's cannons during battles.
Their travels took them to exotic and distant lands, where they encountered strange creatures and encountered different cultures. They visited the fiery lands of Malondria, where they witnessed the power of the Celevesines, and the frozen wastelands of Norgard, where they faced off against fierce Ice Giants.
Throughout their journeys, Jormin and Garared faced many challenges and overcame numerous obstacles. They fought off pirates, battled sea monsters, and weathered fierce storms. They also made many allies, including other sailors, traders, and even royalty.
Garared grew into a skilled sailor and warrior, earning the respect of his crewmates and the admiration of his father. He proved himself in battle, demonstrating his bravery and cunning in the face of danger. His exploits earned him a reputation as a daring and heroic sailor.
Their adventures came to an end when Jormin retired from the Merchant Navy, and Garared continued to serve the Northland Trading Company, eventually rising to the rank of Commodore. But the memories of their wild adventures together remained with them for the rest of their lives, inspiring them and shaping their destinies.
