The Sand Dunes

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 ship’s 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 the quarterdeck and look at the view.

“Calm down savvy’s!! Yes, this is land and a place of unknown but we will survive! I need some people to scout the area, see what the terrain is like.”

A few people raised their hands and were sent off.

“We also need to have some people to check any damage done to the ship and fix it. All others start cleaning, aye?!”

“AYE!!” Shouted the crew.

The next hours were full of cleaning and preparing for the worst. They all knew that they would have to travel through this land to get away from this heat. People were preparing bags and the crew members that had gotten off the ship to fix the damage realized that it was pointless because they could not move this ship.


Thailakain prepared himself a bag quickly full of water, food, clothes, and a sword by his waist. He didn’t know would happen. What had happened to get them in this place but he suspected something abnormal had happened; like teleportation. If not that then he didn’t know.

The scouts didn’t come back that day worriedly and the captain sent others to see where they were and those one didn’t come back. Thailakain was then sent.

He didnt’t object because it wouldn’t do anything. He got off the ship by a ladder and started walking north. He climbed many hills and saw no signs of the lost crew members. After a while he climbed over a big hill that hid the view of the rest of this land and saw a magnificient view.

He saw a massive land full of trees and a lake in the middle. There were somesort of shelters that surrounded the lake. He saw people walking and talking to each other or doing something else.

Thailakain walked down and approached a person.

"Aye, you!" said Thailakain.

The person approached him, with a confused look on his face.

"I need information. Where are we? What is this place?!"

The person didn't seem to understand, and started to move his hand toward his spear, and Thailakain put out his hands trying to show he meant no harm. The person took this as a threat and stabbed at him, Thailakain tried to dodge but the spear got his right shoulder. It pierced through and he back up. He took out his sword and fought him.


Thailakain walked towards the ship slowly. He had been stabbed in the shoulder, and his left leg. As he approached, some of his crew mates took him up the ladder and sat him up against the mast. The captain approached him and he told him what had happened and what was there. He told him that they would probably have found the body by now and would be coming for them.

The captain emmediately started shouting orders to the crew. The ship bustled with energy and they prepared the cannons and sharpened their swords. Thailakain was carried to the hull and taken care of briefly. Thailakain listened to the footsteps and shouts that came from the deck until he passed out from the pain.


When Thailakain woke up, he took it as a good sign. he didn't hear much noises from the deck, so he was a little worried. He stood up and put his body's pressure on his right leg. He limped his way to the stairs and slowly climbed. He reached the top and looked around. He saw his captain and others walking around trying to clean to deck. Thailakain emmediately took the rest of the steps and saw the damage. there were bodies covering the floor; thankfully there were less crew members than the enemy.

"What happened?" asked Thailakain.

"We fought! That's what happened!! And we won too!!" said the captain.

"How many of us died?"

"Too many, I say. There are only 23 of us left including you."

"What are we gonna do?"

"Well, we plunder their land ofcourse!!"

They prepared and Thailakain led them to the land. They reached it in about an hour and they took the land for themselves. They lived there till death came upon them, on one unfortunate day, when a sandstorm came.
