CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME I'm not your baby
"Huh gold," one of the crew men said with his eyes widened. "So much gold." "I see it, chests and chests full," another said. The mist had cleared up in a small area and there were two large open chests heaped with shiny pure gold objects; coins, cups, jewellery and so much more. "Don't fall for it. It's not real," Mia said. "Then how come we can both see it?" one of them asked. "I see it too," a third crew man said. "The chests are overflowing with gold. It's everywhere." "Because you all desire the same thing," she answered. "Now stay focused." The ship sailed on and the mist revealed to the captains and the other crew men what their deepest desires were; desires that only they themselves could see unless they both wanted the same thing. The crew men desired chests of gold and women and that was what they saw; chests overflowing with pure gold objects and beautiful women wearing seductive dresses that called out to them, waved to them, blew kisses at them, winked at them and ev
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME Your screams are feeding the fears
Sailing on, the mist had consumed three crew men but the rest had passed the temptation and were still alive and on board, and because they didn’t fall for their deepest desires the mist decided to kick it up a gear and bring on their worst fears. That was how the mist worked, if what a person wanted more than anything else in the world wasn’t enough to lure them in then it would switch and try to do so with what they feared the most and it usually did the trick so on came the nightmares.“Ah!” one of the crew men screamed pointing into the mist. He had seen his worst fear and it made his soul turn cold. The mist had cleared up in a small area and there sat the biggest snake he had ever seen; twice the size of the biggest anaconda and black like charcoal. “Snake! Snake!” he went on.Just then the other crew men started to scream as well; the mist had manifested their worst fears also.One of them saw a large tarantula spider the size of a small car. Another blinked and he was alone in
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME All hands on deck
The journey continued and they were making good time. What they had left was a day and a half and each one of them hoped that they were going to make it; not only because what they were out there to do was very important but because they were eager for their portion of the treasure, they would have earned it so why not. The helmsman was back at the helm and the three pirate captains were by the forecastle deck looking out into the horizon; taking a little breather from what they had just been through in the mist for it had taken a good bit out of them. “Please, please let us never do that again,” Capt. Mohlenar said. “Agreed,” Capt. Grovergane seconded. “Agreed,” Mia said and they quietly chuckled to each other. “It was a lot but at least we made it out . . . Well, most of us.” “No one said it was going to be easy.” “I know it’s just . . . That was really a lot back there.” “It was,” Capt. Mohlenar said. “They don’t call it the mist of death for nothing.” “Well it was without a
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME We can't give up
The ship got completely swallowed by the giant whirlpool and underneath it was broken apart, with everyone on board, along with a few broken pieces of the ship, being sucked through the whirlpool spiral at such tremendous speeds they didn’t even know what was going on, all they knew was to hold their breaths. They couldn’t even open their eyes to see what was going on because they were moving way too fast; almost with a speed of a bullet. Suddenly, they stopped moving and when they opened their eyes they saw light above and swam for it. They broke through the surface of the water one right after the other taking in the hugest of breaths, with some of them even coughing from having swallowed a few cups of water, and got into looking around as to just where the whirlpool spiral had spat them out. There was a gorgeous waterfall behind them and all around was a thick and lush green forest, like they had just been spat out in the A****n. They then swam to the shore, with the pirate captain
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME Let's find a way out
Mia and her crew swam to the shores of the lake and looked around at where they had fallen. They were in a cave with an intricate network of irregular shaped tunnels in it; tunnels that looked like they had been made by something burrowing through the ground.“Goodness, now where are we?” Capt. Mohlenar asked as he and his fellow pirate captains shook the water off of their hats and put them back onto their heads.“I don’t know but by the looks of it . . . I’d say nowhere good,” Mia answered.“How are we going to get back up there?” Mr. Bear asked.“We can’t we’re just going to have to find another way out.”“How? We don’t even know where we are,” Capt. Grovergane said.“We just keep moving until we find our way out.”“Through these tunnels?” Capt. Mohlenar asked.“Yes.”“I don’t like the look of them.”“Neither do I,” Capt. Grovergane agreed.“Neither do I but we can’t get up there so the only other chance we have at getting out of here is through the tunnels,” she said.“What if the
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME Piece of cake
Mia and her crew faced up to the creature and it was a tough fight. It kept swinging its tentacles at them to either grab them, hit them or crush them and they kept slicing at them with their swords and knives, dodging them and moving out of their way respectively. With how it had been grabbing them and pulling them back they knew that because they couldn't outrun it it would have continued to do so until it eventually feasted on them all and so though it was a crazy option fighting it and killing it was the best chance they had of making it out alive.They fought on against the odds and were actually doing something; despite the crew men being hit hard against the walls by the creature’s tentacles. Their knives were not big nor were they sharp enough to defend them as well as the swords were defending the others and so they got themselves quite the beating, with four out of six of them being hit so hard that when they dropped to the ground they stayed down, with the others still cons
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME Everyone stay perfectly still
Mia and her crew managed to escape the bats, with no one else succumbing to being eaten, and continued trying to find their way out of the cave and back onto real ground; turning left and right through another network of tunnels and coming to another cave, a much smaller one this time, with large roots poking out of one side of the walls, large roots they quickly began to climb as they led up to their way out, a big hole in the ground. They made it out and they were back in the forest; looking in all directions to make sure there was no creature anywhere near them to attack them. “Does anyone see anything?” Mia asked as they looked on. “No, it’s clear this way,” Capt. Grovergane answered. “It’s clear this way too,” Capt. Mohlenar said. “I think we’re in the clear . . . For now,” Mathew said. “Alright, we keep making our way to the coast,” she said. “To flag down a ship and return home?” Capt. Mohlenar asked. “If by home you mean going to see the time keeper and telling him that
CAPE HOOLERTHUND; THE HANDS OF TIME Someone did cross the glitch
Mia and her crew reached the coast of the island and managed to flag down a cargo ship and all the way back to the cave of time they went, as the thunder roared on and the green lightning flashed on in the stormy skies. They had gone back to rescue the others that had been caught by the trolls spit balls and so their number was back up; with each one of them shaken to their bones over what was going on. Some damage had clearly been done but the question was what was the extent of said damage? Was it something that they could be able to turn around or was what was happening a done deal? Only time would tell. They reached the stone platform in the middle of the ocean and because the storm was more on the calmer side than it was the wilder side, they managed to reach there with no trouble at all. The ship came to a stop and Mia and Mr. Bear made their way down the staircase and then the walkway to the cave of time as the rest remained on board. They were the ones that had been summoned b
