There she was, living the princess life. A castle filled with maidens, guards, and roses.

She has always dreamt of going out in the sea, living her best life as a pirate. 

One abrupt night, her grandma came to her vision. She showed her a map towards a hidden island that claims to have perfect happiness.

Awoken, she sets a purpose to reach that island, to reach her happy ending, to get away from her castle and reach the one dream she had always wanted. 

Without much thinking, she ran away with her finite resources. Hoping to find the way to that island from her dreams, she sets sail.

She rowed, rowed and kept rowing until her supplies were running low. She was exhausted. 

Suddenly, a great ship comes from a distance. She panicked, knowing she couldn’t row away fast enough to escape.

Captain, watch out! There is a tiny boat blocking our way

Is that so? Blow the man down.

The woman screamed desperately in the distance, frustrated but also concerned for her life. After much consideration, the pirates decided to take pity and help her. 

After taking her onto the ship, they came to a promise to help her, but for a price. If the adventure is not daring enough, they shall take her life and feed her to the sharks. 

Gentlemen, shall we get started?

After many days and weeks, specifically two weeks and four days, two hours and twenty-seven minutes, filled with fights, squabbles and frustration, she was devastated. They haven’t found many hints and are slowly giving up.

Shedding tears at the edge of the boat, she wonders what is she doing wrong? Where is her happy ending? Slowly, a familiar face showed up. 

I’m not very good at comforting people but I know this is hard. Where was that ambitious girl I found while sailing the sea?
