S3EP2: LUCK RUNS OUT

We made it to the island in the sky. The storm was behind us — for now. But Eurylochus... he wasn't celebrating. "Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do." "You've heard the legends of the island in the sky. This proves they're true. We're in the home of the wind god." "We don't know for sure." "How many floating islands have you seen before? This is the home of the wind god." "And what's your plan?" "I'm gonna climb to the top and ask 'em for a hand." "You could be caught off guard and lose your life. Or piss off this god and infuse us with strife. Don't forget how dangerous the gods are." "Have faith, friend. We've come this far." But Eurylochus shook his head. The crew behind him looked uneasy. "Yes, but how much longer 'til your luck runs out? How much longer 'til the show goes south? How much longer 'til we all fall down? You rely on wit, and people die on it." "I still believe in goodness. I still believe that we could be kind. Lead from the heart, and see what starts —" "And what will we do when it tears us apart?" "Where is this coming from, my friend?" "I just don't wanna see another life end. You're like the brother I could never do without." "And suddenly you doubt that I could figure this out?" The crew stepped closer. Their voices joined his. "Captain, how much longer 'til your luck runs out? How much longer 'til the show goes south? How much longer 'til we all fall down? You rely on wit, and people die on it. How much longer 'til the snake breaks free? How much longer 'til your great days cease? How much longer 'til your strength takes leave? You rely on wit, and people die on it." I took a breath. "Thank you for the concern, but brother, I can assure you — our journey is almost done. I understand that we're tired. I understand that we're fazed. But don't forget how much we've already faced." I stepped closer to him. Lowered my voice. "I took six hundred men to war and not one of them died there. In case you needed a reminder. If you'd like to speak more, let me pull you aside then. I need to talk to you in private." I looked him in the eye. "I can't have you planting seeds of doubt. I can't have you disagreeing each route. I need you to always be devout and comply with this — or we'll all die in this." He paused. Then — "Okay." "Thank you." --- [Haiku] Eurylochus doubts"Your luck runs out," the crew singsI silence them all --- I walked away. But I could feel his eyes on my back. And somewhere in the back of my mind... I wondered if he was right. Epic: the musical — The Ocean Saga
