I like swords and I'm a woman

Name's Dianne. Most of the rest of the world will know me as Dino, though. I mean, I'm half running away, half trying to make my mark on the world. Who ever said I had to do it as a woman? Actually, if I did it as a woman, then I'd have already been caught.

By the way... I'm a woman.

And I'm running away.

In case you didn't know.

Anyway, my dad used to own this really awesome armory. I used to help him make some of the shields and swords. It was the best thing I could ever ask for. He recently passed away, but there is this band of pirates after something of his. Something that was, obviously, entrusted to me, before my father dies.

From what I've heard, it could be a huge treasure, meant for me so I wouldn't have to worry about money issues. I don't really think it's that though. I've also heard that my father left me the ultimate weapon. (Now, that I might believe). Either way, all I have is a clue to go to the Island of Macabee and look for Tracabee.

Now, I have a series of problems:
1. I'm a woman... and everyone knows that Roland Myte only has one daughter
2. I have no idea who Tracabee was.
3. I don't know where the Island of Macabee was.
4. I don't know how to physically get across the ocean to the Island of Macabee
5. There ware pirates chasing after me!
6. Apparently there's a war a'brewin'.

Luckily I ran into a strange fellow... and now here I am. Out at sea. Dressed like a man. Acting as the page boy to a would-be traveling magician aboard the SS Matate. It wasn't until later that I realized that meant "kill yourself". Not to mention, we were sailing right in the middle of the battle between the Loyalists and the Revolutionaries.

Ban omen? probably
