_The Pacific waters

1120 Words
Pacific borders: Morning was fast coming as the night went as fast as it could. Captain Mardock used to say that nights lasts longer at sea untill the storm fades away then the morning comes most likely. They sailed past the famous horizon borders where bandits and looters patrolled with boats and wretched ships to disarm travellers and Messengers of their valuables. It would have been a bad night for them anyways if they dared cross paths with the ship from the Empire fully loaded onboard with swordsmen and a deadly Assassin. As the approached the biggest stirs and whirlwind of water where the Pacific borders stood, the warriors were selected in pairs to keep watch and alert the Captain if there was anything strange in sight. Meanwhile, inside the cabin, most of the warriors kept chattering and keeping wake, some sharpening their swords, some eating salvage food brought onboard. Sandy was up too, the candle light and torches in the room was going faint as the darkness seemed overwhelming to the room. For some reason she couldn't close her eyes. She was scared of what's out there but not too scared to want to see it. Sandy feels like she was living a dream where she had to confront her fears and she has this wild flare for the dangerous life and a very static consistency in pursuit of her day dreams. She went on her first sail at very tender age and proudly did well. She was a surviver and the greatest swimmer in her family. Her swords skill was bad but she was smart enough to knock out a skilled swordsman with ideas and innovation. Grandpa Mardock taught her alot and she spent most times with him. Her mother always kicked against her going on voyages and taking sails with Captain Mardock too much, she feared Sandy was growing up to be like him. A Savage and a sarcastic savant, fierce, fearless and brave. But amongst this she really didn't want her to end up as miserable as her Grandpa. She spent time fishing, hunting and going to lakes and skinny dipping like it was not a big deal for a teenage girl. Sandy found it hard maintaining relationships with people her age, she kept to herself alot and yearned for an adventure out of her world. Waking up in a world after a ship wreck, where anything was possible, where the moon was brighter than the Sun, where people worshipped powerful Emperors and Where she first felt what it's like to float in the sky with absolutely no barriers except her slight fear of height. She slept in a tall castle and now she was going to save a royal blood with a league of brave warriors. It was a dream come true to her but to what extent. At the expense of her happiness, mental health, her reality and her family.  Alot was going through Sandy's mind and she couldn't stop thinking about her mother and her baby brother. She worries for what became of them after the Storm at the Atlantic. Her thoughts were caught up with her heart beat suddenly skipping a split second and then another. There was a hit on the ship and the effect was a great vibration that lifted most warriors out of their bunk beds down to the floor. It hit again and this time it felt like the ship was about to capsize. Sandy held unto to her bed tightly as she was left hanging on the edge of the top bunk bed. There was a sudden panic in the room and there was no word from Ibinabo. It then came to a calm as the ship returned erect and kept sailing smoothly. The muffles of confusion and post panic yells filled the atmosphere. Ibinabo opened the door and all eyes were on her in need of an explanation of what just happened. "We just passed the border, we are in the Pacific now. The hit happens when we pass through worlds. Brace yourselves and come out, the search begins immediately we find a shore to anchor." How she managed to keep a straight face and a still pass a subtle message was commendable. The warriors took to their heels, geared up and lifted their heads high in hope to find the prince. As they all stepped out to witness the Pacific waters the sun hit them hard, really hard they had to look for shades and squint their eyes to see each other. "This is but another dimension, the moon doesn't even exist here, there is only day and no night here. The Pacific realm is a strange land to us so we must act quickly and find the prince and the ship as fast as we can before the powers that be notices our arrival. By law we are to serve them a notice for approval before crossing their border. Now we will be treated like trespassers. It's urgent business. May your search be fruitful!."... Lord Nathan had a Stern look with a charming confidence and a certain tone in his voice to boost the warriors Morales. The longer the warriors stood outside on the ship the easier it was to adapt to the bright light. An island was spotted north ahead and ibinabo signaled the Captain who navigated the ship alongside Lord Nathan to heave ahead as they would dork there and begin their search from on there. As they got closer a Ship was spotted, as one of the warriors atop the flagpole yelled to alert the warriors down. A flag was on the ship and it was the same on the empires ship. It was definitely the prince's. As the ship sailed further close they noticed the ship was deserted and there was a split in the Chambers. Meaning, the ship didn't anchor it crashed to the shore. Ibinabo sensed something was wrong and pulled out her sword. There was a great midst in the air and it was difficult to spot what came from afar from where the stood. So some warriors jumped into the water and swimmer ahead to do a scout of the island if it be safe to dork. The gave a signal in affirmation. The island was large and hallow. There were woods everywhere, forest, hills and echoes. It seemed lifeless but they had to take charge and find the prince even if it means searching the whole area.  The Prince was the sole objective for their intrusion into enemy territory, no turning back and no one stone would be left unturn untill the prince's whereabouts is within knowledge and his safe return to the emperor guaranteed.....
