The Great Life and Journey of Marco Polo Come to an End.

    The year was 1295, and after 17 wonder filled years of working  for Kublai Khan, my family and I started to feel homesick. Although Kublai wasn't to happy that his most dependable men were leaving, he had to say goodbye. But with that goodbye he had one last request. He wanted us to escort a Mongol Princess to where she would marry a Persian Prince. This time we traveled by sea, with hundreds of sailors and passengers wanting to get back home. There were terrible storms on the way. The result of the cramped ship lead to deadly diseases. By the time we had reached the Perisan destination only 18 other passengers, including myself, my father and uncle and the princess were still alive. Finally after two years of travel, we reached home and returned to Venice. We've been gone for over two decades. Our absence only made it harder on our family in Venice. Our face suddenly looked unfamiliar and it was hard for us to communicate with them the way we use to.     I sent out a war ship to Genoa and was later thrown in prison. I became friends with a fellow prisoner and writer and told him all about my journey to China. Soon my journeys were published into a book The Description of the World, later known as The Travels of Marco Polo. My book of travels was read world wide including all over Europe and China. In 1299 I became a celebrity for being a fictional author. Still no one believed me. After I was released from prison, I returned to Venice. I met and married a girl and with her raised three beautiful girls. I grew old and died in my own home in Venice in 1324. From 1254-1324, I lived a long life and I wouldn't change it for the world. The next time someone says Marco Polo, don't think of the game. Think of my great adventures.
