The Wind’s Breath

The cool, nighttime wind blew through my shaggy blonde hair. I stared out at the never-ending, dark sea from aboard Ruby’s huge pirate ship. It was no longer safe within the Great Sea and we were attempting to find an island to relocate to. Even after the demise of trade that had fallen apart within the scattered islands. Everyone was alone, and struggling. Most islands had different traits and skills that the inhabitants had used. My hometown was responsible for livestock for example. But with how scattered everyone was, we had decided to search for one large island to relocate everyone to. It would take years of work, but our scouting expedition was pure fate. I just had honestly wanted to find a new place for my grandmother and sister to rest. There was just too much trade fighting. This would even the playing field out. “TRAVIS!” Ruby screamed. I glanced around the deck, wondering where she happened to be. “TRAVIS! HERE!” I looked up and saw her beautiful smiling face peering over the edge of her lookout. Her blonde hair was blowing in the wind. She had let her pony tail out. She was truly a gorgeous creature, even if she might have an attitude problem. I ascended the ladder and came face to face with the glowing Ruby and an excited Jacob. We had the young scallywag volunteer his services to help us on our journey. I had grown quite fond of the boy since first meeting him on Roost island years prior. I grinned slyly. “What’s all this excitement about?” <a href="https://rosefearless.medium.com/the-winds-breath-c91db2bcc30f">Website</a>
