The Guards stood on the edge of Crane Port. The sea was calm after several storms over the winter. Suddenly less than a mile away from the docks a tidal wave broke. A large galleon made of coral emerged from beneath the sea. Its sails made of interlaced seaweed, and the entire boat glistening in the sun.
As the sails were furled a dozen sea horses emerged, tied to the ship by chains of kelp. They slowly dragged the Ship into dock. The guard rushed to meet this unexpected visitor, friend or foe they were not sure. As the plank lowered an Alfar stepped off. He had large horns of coral, and worse armour that seemed to be made from a strange pearl substance, like an oyster. “Do you serve Woodrow?” The Alfar asked “I serve Lady Dansu of the Crane” “And does she serve Woodrow” “She serves the most honourable Jade Emperor who Lord Woodrow serves” “Excellent, and you are trustworthy?” “Do you doubt my honour?” “No, I just ask. Please give this to your Lady and ask her to return it to Woodrow as we promised” The alfar handed the guard a simple box of wood that was wrapped in a jade silk cover. The alfar turned to return to his ship. “What is it” “A statue, we agreed to find it as Woodrow and his friends helped us” And as quickly as it had arrived the ship was dragged out of dock, its sails unfurled and it sunk beneath the waves. -------------------- Will Power - will@labyrinthe.co.uk
