Summary
Travelling south of the Witch Queen's kingdom, Black Bard hears music from a nearby ship and sees an opportunity to earn some coin.

Offering to entertain the crew with some songs, as a trespasser he is instead tied up by what turn out to be pirates led by the demon captain Sangre Drake.

Observing that Black Bard's left eye is not real, the captain sees a similarity with him as he wears an eyepatch. Black Bard is freed and the crew resume their festivities.

He performs for them and in the merriment his harp is taken by one of the crew. He gains it back by winning a card game and a pistol duel by shooting the corks off bottles.

His reward for the song is an empty bottle with a crescent moon and four pointed star pattern on it, a relic of the old Crimson Empire.

Black Bard comes ashore where he hears from the townsfolk that the ship he was just on had had been drifting at sea for decades and there was just the bones of the crew found onboard.
