Here I am following the footsteps of my father. My mother begged me to stay. You will vanish in the sea just like that old fool, she said. Maybe she is right. She was never the same since the storm hit this ship. The ship came back, she is a marvel, but my father has never returned. It is amazing that I am on the same vessel and going to an adventure that might take my life, but why should I care? There's not much life left in the old town. And even though I do not want to worry my mother, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This men has got to see the vast sea, to live the legends and to fight the storms so maybe stories will be told where I am the main character.
One can only hope.
