Fryda's Freedom is a fantasy short story. Giacomo only looks out for himself, ever since he was a child in his home city. Being in and out of prisons, he is no amateur at committing crimes. After going to prison for a robbery and murder, he leaves the place he's known for years and joins a trade ship to start a new life. He joins Captain Fausto and Quartermaster Paulo as a deckhand, hoping he could make some easy money to help get him started in a new city, but he never could have expected what would happen during their journey.
After being attacked by a monstrous deep-sea octopus, only Giacomo, Captain Fausto, and Quartermaster Paulo survive and find themselves in a new and unknown land. The three are saved by an unknown civilization of reptilian beings, the Andritan people. Paulo makes friends with an Andritan woman. She helps Paulo and Giacomo escape to their home city, only to find herself trapped in a world she didn't understand.
