At last the Falcon was ready to leave the docks of Crucia, after several months of trading and auctioning off the best quality items, the mast was repaired and the sails hoisted. I stood up on deck watching my crew members busy themselves tying coords, hauling cargo, and herding animals into pens. Checking the direction of the wind I yell to my crew "Haul anchor, its time we head off for greener pastures!"
The anchor hoisted and the sails dropped, a strong gust of wind blew the Falcon on the beginning of its next journey!
Giving my navigator the wheel I told him to set a course for the Wizard Tower and I proceeded to do a check of the cargo hold. As I walked in the smell of Baked Potatoes wafted heavily in the air, at one point Crucia had lived off of the potatoes, but the trade for them quickly died when the market was flooded with cheaper potatoe chips. Now I had a cargo hold full of them, but there was also some quality arms and armour stowed away safely in the back that could be easily traded away. I walked back out and noticed Olix chewing on a few potatoes, I moved past ignoring him, a few potatoes wasn't going to make much of a difference. Walking back up to the main deck my newest engineer DrGemMiner was heavily seasick on the rails. A man was conforting him but I knew it wouldn't stop till we hit shore. At this point I could see the tower in the distance, who could miss that massive tower in the first place? But then many a sailor had complained of a magical aura that hid the tower on certain nights. Although some of the rumors about the tower worried me, the trade they offered was some of the best! I was sure that nothing could possibly go wrong with a quick stop. As we arrived in the port we were welcomed by the Head Dean roobarb pie, with whom I spent the rest of the night sorting out trade negotiations. Apparently the Wizards had plans to use baked potatoes in some strange new magical experiment, I had no clue what experiment this was and didn't ask. After the trading was complete I returned to my ship where the crew were drinking away the night. Two of the more shady members of the crew were just coming back from below deck, unfortunately I had no idea what they had been up to, nor did I notice them. As the sun rose the next morning the crew proceeded to load up a large shipment of TnT, redstone and Gold, and a few weeks worth of steak for the crew to eat. Making sure that the TnT was kept well away from any of the redstone, I then put men in charge of keeping watch of the new cargo. As we sailed away from the tower heading towards the Port of Concord, I had the feeling that something very important had happened that would eat away at my very being if I did nothing to stop it. I shrugged it off, blaming the wierd aura that surrounded the tower as the cause. Little did I know that the two people I had gotten to watch the cargo, were the same two shady characters that had come from the hold last night. As we sailed to Concord a fierce storm came upon the ship, I had not seen a storm of such intensity since we had been forced to make port in Crucia after that particular storm had taken down our mast. The rain poured and wind blew, I stood and yelled directions to me men above deck to get everything sealed off and lower the sails. Below deck the two men I had set to guard the cargo were not at their posts, they were hiding behind the TnT examining a crate of potions they had stolen from the wizard tower. Of course they had decided to examine them directly behind the crates of TnT, the rough waters rocked the boat heavily jerking the cargo around. Back above deck I was trying to keep the ship on course, but the fierce winds were forcing us in a new direction, trying to force the rudder to turn, I was fighting a losing battle.
Whatever happened next is a mystery, below deck two things happened, the two man lost a hold of the crate of potions which went flying into the crates of TNT. The TNT reacted by blowing up but the potions had a strange affect and exploded with a blue glow. As the tnt exploded have of the ship disappeared into the blue glow, the rest of the ship was disintegrated by the force of the explosion. The half of the ship that did survive suddenly landed with a blue flash in the middle of a lake! Some of the Tnt had made its way into the blue glow as well and flew onto the landscape severly scarring the beachhead. Luckily those who remained on the remaining half of the ship were still alive. I looked up now that the glow had disappeared and looked around. It appeared the lake was shallow and the remaining half of the ship would not sink into depths unknown. However most of the cargo was lost most likely destroyed in the explosion, a large amount of gold had managed to survive though, and some of their livestock too. I then realised the auction ship would never sail again, it had been damaged beyond repair. Looking at DrGemMiner, who nodded what I was thinking to me, when began to disembark from the once proud ship.
Scouting the landscape I could feel the snowy breeze on me, I knew we had hit the tundra but I had no idea how. I blamed it all potatoes, they were damn unlucky anyways.
It looked like we had no choice but to settle down in this area, however I did feel a sense of certainty, the auctions would become bigger and better than ever, of that I would make sure!
