Journey of the Acolyte

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Vesperos knew he was in for a hard life, and that it would begin before he was ready. In slavery to piracy and all that he endures, he is determined to maintain his integrity - whatever the cost.
Meanwhile his best friend is in tow with a wizard desperately trying to track him down and unbeknown to them all another party seeks his life. A friend in need is a friend indeed, but does Vesperos actually need his friends?
