In 1689, 2 ships were built. Neither had figureheads and after the first, the Wicked Wench had been launched and sent to the East india company, the unnamed and unpainted sister waited. The day she was launched she glided smoothly into the water but then the water around her began to roil and she was pulled under without a trace.
       Years later, a captain who had just lost his ship and crew was sitting on a piece of wreckage drifting across the oceans. Suddenly an elegant ship shot out of the water and settled beside him. The ship was painted golden yellow and night sky blue and the figurehead was of a greecian woman with a bow and arrow. As the captain looked at the ship the water beside him stirred and moments later there was an ancient deity next to him, it was Britannia. She told the captain that she had taken the ship to give to her champion, and that this was the HMS "Last Shadow" the fastest and most powerful ship on the seven seas and that she was giving him the ship because of his good heart and bravery. Britannia told him that he was to go out and seek the wrongs on his oceans and destroy them, watching the seas and Britain for all of time in her sted, and with that she disappeared back into the ether, leaving the captain and the ship alone.
        After that the captain and the Last Shadow became the stuff of legend. All accounts of her report that a ghostly ship would appear as if from nowhere in a cloud of mist and attack her prey without warning with the fury and rage of a god and dart back into the mist. They say that she destroyed the entire pirate city of Pinnacle Rock, and single-handedly defeated a French and Spanish armada equel or greater than that of the battle of Trafalgar. The only ship to ever escape her was her sister, the Wicked Wench which had been rechristened Black Pearl.

What has become of the ship of Britannia's champion in the modern age? Nobody knows, but it is said that whenever a thick mist rolls in over the seas and thunder is heard, prepare for the last shadow you'll ever see.
