The Pick Up Line Game #2

We haven't played this game for a while.


The Pick Up line/Opening Line/First line Game

Post the first line of the main story or stories that you are working on.

Then, those of us reading them can reply with:
Does it or doesn't it make you want to read more?

And for the fun of it:
Guess the genre?
Guess what happens next?

oooh...I wanna read more. Makes me think of fantasy. What happens next? Something odd takes place in the tavern that leads Nerie on an interesting quest.

It is historical fantasy. :)

Nerie is the captain of a merchant ship in Etruscan Italy circa 474 BC. He's about to make a lot of money on his next shipment, so he refuses to believe the omen is for him and sets sail. His ship runs into a storm, he's washed overboard, and he drowns. Then he makes a deal with the god of the underworld to come back to life for a price...and the rest of the story follows from that.
