《Sad Water Sailors (Horror-adventure)》Esperanza
Advertisement
Luckily, all the boys on deck were doubly focused on their watch duty thanks to the yell he had given them before climbing to the helm.
"Do you really think, that we have the most miserable possibility of surviving with a fucking merchant ship in black waters" Paulo said, looking at the men on the deck as if they were walking corpses
"All sailors in these waters only drag out the inevitable..."
"Many times we were lucky, friend, but it seems that finally it was our turn to be the dead"
"Let's get on with it…" Ron said, cautiously trying to keep the conversation as private as possible, "…like we always did"
"It's just going to be another great anecdote to tell in the bars, when we get to the mainland" Ron said approaching and taking the helmsman by the shoulder to show him the distant horizon, as he had done with Lucas, when he was assigned as cabin boy
"Imagine when we tell those whores from Los Alamos, that we navigate these waters…"
"Old Ana, the merchant ship that crossed the black waters and managed to get out alive..."
"We will be legends, Paulo!" Ron said, trying to encourage the helmsman.
But unfortunately for Ron, Paulo didn't seem very inspired by the motivational speech.
"45..." Paulo said, slowly resuming his smoking routine "45 are the crosses on the map over these waters…45 are the exploration ships sunk in these waters"
"We are not even worthy of a cross on the map if we sink here"
"That's how insignificant Old Ana is"
"But that is also our best weapon, we are insignificant also for the dangers that haunt these waters" Ron said looking at the infinite waters that covered the ship "Layers an exploration ship cannot cross these waters, but our small merchant ship can"

"Dear friend, we've known each other for a long time..." Paulo said with one hand on his pipe and the other on the back of his friend, "... I love you like the brother I never had"
"Even though you became a grumpy old man over time, you were always there to encourage and support the sailors on this ship"
"If the fat man was the spirit of this ship when we touched port, you were at sea"
"Although the boys often seem to be afraid of you, deep down they respect you because you are an incredible sailor..."
"I love you too, Paulo, that's why I'm worried that you'll lose hope, you have to believe that we're going to make it out alive…" Ron interrupted, somewhat happy at the change in tone of the conversation.
"There are not many, those who manage to survive in these waters until this age"
"We are old sharks of the sea and somehow we are going to make it!"
"Deep down, they respect you because you are an incredible sailor…" Paulo repeated to continue "… But, unfortunately, you have zero talent for reading sea maps"
"Royer Durand Moreau - Captain of La Revanche De La Mer"
"Did you read the name engraved on the map?" Paulo said, while he laughed softly as if explaining his mistake to a young cabin boy.
"A noble?... We also have a cabin boy and there's nothing special about it" Ron said, trying to minimize the problem with the surname on the map.
"Well, we could say that being the son of the governor of an island is not the same as having the surname Moreau, but ignoring the question..." Paulo said, while he handed the pipe to his friend so she could smoke a little.

"The name matters little if I'm honest old friend, what matters is that it is engraved on the map"
"… and what does that mean?" Ron asked as he accepted his friend's pipe and took a drag.
"Not much…" Timonel said, looking at the rising sun beginning the new day on the horizon.
"... Only that an entire fleet of the Moreaus sank by these waters"
*Glup* the sound of the pipe falling into the ocean could be heard in the water
"Enjoy these two weeks you have left an old friend, meditate on your past and try to accept your mistakes…" Paulo said slowly, not caring that he had lost his pipe.
".....because this time we have no hope"

Shura Saga: Burn and Slay - Cultivation, Lightning Bolts, Monsters galore
“If it lives, we can slay it. And then burn it, just to make sure it doesn’t come back from the dead,” she said. “...does that happen often?” he asked. “Slaying? Yeah, duh? It’s what we're here to do in the first place, dummy.” “I meant the coming back from the dead part.” “Eh. More often than you’d like.” “Great. Just great.” Walking away from a life drenched in senseless bloodshed, Raksha embarks on the Warrior’s Pilgrimage. In doing so, he strives to hone his mind, spirit, and martial skills, and he swears to abide by the Ancient Code’s tenets of honor and compassion. He definitely did not expect to run into Sadea, a powerful sorceress who loves silk, jewels, and killing things for fun and profit. Neither did he expect to be stuck with her as they fight murderous mutants, vicious monsters, and demons. She calls their entanglement a beautiful partnership, but it’s the last thing he needs. Or so he thinks.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
