On the horizon of the South Sea there was a band of pirates. Ace, the leader of the pirates, was a tal0l, scruffy looking young man, with black hair and blue eyes. He used a cutlass as his main weapon, but also had a dagger and flintlock pistol. Axcell, whom was Ace’s right hand man, was a tall, pale, young man. He had somewhat long, blonde hair with brown eyes, and his ideal weapon was a dagger with a flintlock pistol. Lileigh, the navigator, was a tallish girl with big blue eyes and long, red hair.

She went to the library expecting it to be a small, dainty building, but found it to be a large, snazzy building. It had millions and millions of books lined up against the walls of the building from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Though there were millions of books in the library, it seemed to only have a few books on the rainbow mist, but they were very factual and detailed.
