Keep her steady!" The captain bellowed from the bow of the three-masted ship.
The sailors hopped around, heeding the captain's commands. They were very much familiar with the process, but what was this heavy feeling that loomed over them?
Before them were tumultuous mountain-like waves that made even a ship like the Knuckleback tremble with fright. The ship swayed furiously, tossing a few of the sailors away from their positions.
"We've seen worse, falter not!"
"Strike the royals! We're taking her into the heart of the storm!"
Like spilled painting on a canvass, lightning dabbed the sky with a fierce blue hue, accompanied by thunderous roars. The slithering streak of blue struck fear in the hearts of the sailors on the ship.
Should a single bolt of lightning descend, neither of them had the durability to withstand such damage.
The third-mate, four-eyed Iago, landed on the deck with a loud thud and called to the captain.
"Captain! This is no ordinary storm!"
