Vagabonds Chapter 4

I wanted this chapter to focus on Gel’s pov again, this time aiming towards his own inner thoughts on leadership, and what makes a captain.

Vagabonds: A practice in Frustration.

So I figured I’d start this off with a failed project that had me tackling several things I wanted to try.
