The captain of her ship
The hot winds
Blow against her hull
In the hot of the day
It looked like smooth sailing
Until we reached the waves
The high rolling sand
Brings the ship up and down
They brave the storm
Time and time again
Yet the storms never stop
And neither does the ship
They roll over the golden seas
As they watch the dust blow by
They never stop sailing
Until the world caves in...
My name is Seraphine Wailark, first mate of the Imperator, and for the record, I never wanted to be here.
My crew and I are what we like to call âtreasure huntersâ and what other folk prefer to call âdirty, callous unethical pirates.â I donât really see how us taking what is ours is unethical: Once itâs on a ship, it belongs to the sea, and what belongs to the sea belongs to those who have conque...
The treasure was ours.
Resting in the middle of the sea, exposed by the humming seals and resonating with the impossibly large emblem directly below us, exposing the grandiose entrance. The waves began to part, and our journey was finally about to be rewarded.
The map completely failed, however, to warn us about the treasureâs keeper.
A glowing humanoid figure bursts out from the waves, rumblin...
âHeh? Jack Sparrows ship,â Winter questions.
âDoes this look like the black pearl to you,â Katherine asks, as her dragon screeches in agreement.
âWell I'm sorry! It's not everyday that your friend saves you from drowning. Oh and the fact, THAT YOUR DRAGON WAS HIT BY A FLYING SHIP,â Winter yells.
âYour welcome,â Katherine smiles.

âAHHHHHHH WHAT THE HECK,â Winter screams. One second...
As Thailakain came back up to the deck of the ship, he looked around at his surroundings and saw; land.
What happened, thought Thailakain.
As the other crew members came up from the shipâs hold, they were all surprised by the new view in front them. Soon chatter was spreading throughout the crew and some people were getting worked up about it and others were panicking. He saw the captain get on ...
Sand everywhere⊠this is the sea I love.
No cold water soaking you, or a cold breeze blowing in your face. Just smooth warm sand for the ship to slide through.
âCaptain! Weâve spotted them!â
I turned around and walked up to my first mate Cairy, my buckled boots clicking with each step. She handed me the eye glass and I honed in on the trespassers, their ships flag the color of blood.
A growl ro...
Red sand dunes spread out as far as the eye could see. Burnt orange and faded red, colored by both mother nature and the blood spilled over years of treacherous crossings.
The winds shifted and granules blew over each other, hiding the relics of carnage. The mast creaked as the sail pulled along the dusty sea.
âStarboard bow!â
The call came from above where Amber stood in the crowâs nest, avia...
We are unable to move forward.
We are stuck, we suffocate.
The world is too heavy.
The air is too light.
We are unable to sail in the sand.
Yet we keep trying.
We breathe.
But weâre not getting anywhere.
We are unable to live.
