S3Ep1: Storm
These waves and tides have grown in strength and size.<p><br/></p><p>Is it nature or divine, or a blessing in disguise?</p><p><br/></p><p>Our home's in sight. This storm's our final fight.</p><p><br/></p><p>"There's no time to die. Comrades?"</p><p><br/></p><p>"SIR!"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Brace for a storm, storm — the likes of which we've never seen before! Brace for a storm, storm — with home so close, we must keep pushing forward!"</p><p><br/></p><p>"Full speed ahead!"</p><p><br/></p><p>I pointed toward the island. "Head towards the island, but avoid the crashing waves. Tread where the tide is flat and then you will be safe."</p><p><br/></p><p>Eurylochus grabbed my arm. "Captain, we will capsize with these waves. Our fleet will fail."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Have them follow my ship. I'll ensure that we prevail."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Storm, storm!" my crew chanted.</p><p><br/></p><p>"We're taking too much damage to survive!" Eurylochus shouted.</p><p><br/></p><p>"We'll beat this storm, storm!"</p><p><br/></p><p>"At this rate, we won't make it out alive!"</p><p><br/></p><p>Then —</p><p><br/></p><p>"Captain, look!"</p><p><br/></p><p>We both turned.</p><p><br/></p><p>An island in the sky.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Eurylochus, grab the harpoons. As many as you can find."</p><p><br/></p><p>"What do you have in mind?"</p><p><br/></p><p>"We're gonna shoot for the sky."</p><p><br/></p><p>"WHAT?!"</p><p><br/></p><p>"STORM, STORM! Everyone grab a harpoon and aim it HIGH! Storm, storm — we're shooting for the island in the sky! IN THE SKY!"</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>[Haiku]</p><p><br/></p><p>An island above</p><p>Harpoons aimed at clouds above</p><p>We shoot for the sky</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p>
