Chapter 3

Bonk!Bonk!Bonk! The ship was finally repaired. Cal woke from his tent. As soon as he boarded the skyship, he was immediately ordered to go collect supplies.” Oi you, Cere get over here!” captain Kestis commanded. Cere hurriedly scurried over to her: she was desperate to discover what she was needed for. Cal – who was still annoyed that captain made him skip breakfast – walked without hurry towards the glade, ready to equip himself with many coconuts.

Deep in the valleys of the vegetation was a loud rustling. Cal felt like he was in an infinite maze; every turn felt the same. All of a sudden, a high-pitched growl occurred upon him, emitting from behind him. Cal( who was racing with thoughts) slowly turned around only to find a man with a long, white beard and blood splattered up his face. Was this man safe?

“ I come to you to warn you of the dangers that lurk here,” groaned the man. All of a sudden, he was snatched into the darkness of the trees, screaming with fear. Cal froze: shocked to see that the man he met 2 minutes ago had disappeared. Cal- who was now in a hurry- bolted back to the shoreline, gathering crewmates with no explanation. With their newly found supplies, they boarded the ship. “Star the engines, inflate the balloons! Just trust me!” Cal yelled. Everyone ignored him as they only took orders from the captain. “Please captain tell them,” Cal said with hurry “NO!” captain Kestis yelled. Cal explained that there was danger upon them and that they had to undock from the island, but it was too late. A man(who had no shirt) raised from the trees, snatching many crew members with his vines. It was the lost explorer but gone crazy.” If I, Alexios Odin, can kill my entire crew, then I can destroy all of you!” he explained with anger. What will he do?
