Arkol's Logbook: As Told by Rusty, the Battle Penguin

Entry 1: The Great Firework Heist of Wizard Wharf

Ahoy! Rusty here, the brains and the beak of this operation. Today, we've outdone ourselves. Arkol, the "honorable merchant" (read: pirate with a penchant for dramatics), decided we needed a bang for our next trade. Literally. So, we've "acquired" a stash of fireworks from Wizard Wharf. The night sky lit up with colors as dazzling as my feathers during a courtship dance. Arkol grinned like a kid who'd stolen cookies from the cookie jar. If only the wizards knew their magical pyrotechnics were now in the hands (and flippers) of the Runiverse's most daring "merchants."

Entry 2: A Chill Voyage to Penguin Capital

Next up, our voyage north. Why, you ask? Because even pirates miss the cold embrace of snow under their feet—or in Arkol's case, the thrill of a good bargain. Penguin Capital, here we come. The journey was as smooth as my sleek feathers, save for the occasional squabble over the last fish. Arkol's got a nose for treasures, and I've got an eye for gourmet. We traded tales of the sea for the choicest cuts of glacier wurm brains. Delicacies that would make a red wizard weep! Our cargo hold now smells like a mix of victory and, well, wurm brains.

Entry 3: Adventures in Culinary Smuggling to the Red Wizard Capital

Our journey to the Red Wizard Capital was less about the destination and more about the culinary contraband we had stashed below deck. Glacier wurm brains, a rare delicacy that could turn a hefty profit, or at the very least, an interesting dinner party story. Arkol, with his usual flair for the dramatic, insisted we dine on them first—“To ensure quality,” he said. I suspect he just likes the taste. The wizards were none the wiser, and our pockets a little heavier. Or, in my case, my belly.

Entry 4: Miscellanies and Misadventures

It wouldn't be a logbook without mentioning the oddities and ends of our travels. From outsmarting a siren with Arkol's off-key singing (a tactic so dreadful, it deserves its own ballad) to racing mermaids under the moonlit sea (they didn't stand a chance against our ship, the S.S. Sneakthief). Each day brings new adventures, new treasures, and of course, new chances for Arkol to claim he's a legitimate businessman. But between you and me? We're pirates, through and through. And life on the sea, with a captain as bold as Arkol and a first mate as dashing as myself, is exactly where we belong.
