Tittle: white beard and the mysterious island

This one’s written by me, hope you enjoy

The crew of the white beard was a band of ruthless pirates, feared throughout the seas. They had stolen treasure and sunk ships from every corner of the world, but their luck had finally run out.

As they sailed through a stormy night, the ship was struck by a massive wave that threw the crew off course. When they emerged from the storm, they found themselves adrift in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight.

Days turned into weeks, and the crew was beginning to lose hope. They were running low on food and fresh water, and their morale was sinking lower by the day.

But then, on the horizon, they spotted a small island. It was shrouded in mist, and there was an eerie feeling that permeated the air. But to the hungry and thirsty crew, the island looked like a lifeline.

As they sailed closer, they began to realize that the island was not as welcoming as they had hoped.

The shores were rocky and treacherous, and the dense jungle was full of strange and dangerous creatures.

The crew of the white beard quickly learned that they were not alone on the island. There were savages that inhabited the island - fierce warriors who were skilled in hand-to-hand combat and used primitive weapons like spears and clubs.

As they explored the island, the crew encountered a variety of dangerous creatures.

Giant spiders that could spin webs strong enough to trap a man, massive snakes that could swallow a person whole, and vicious animals with sharp teeth and claws.

Despite the danger, the crew of the white beard fought bravely. They used their swords and guns to fend off the savages and monsters, and they constructed traps and fortifications to defend their camp.

Days turned into weeks, and the crew had settled into a routine on the island. They fortified their camp and built traps to defend against savage attacks.

They also explored the island, searching for any signs of civilization or a way off the island.

One day, while exploring the jungle, the crew stumbled upon an ancient temple hidden deep within the forest. The temple was overgrown with vines and covered in moss, but it was clear that it had been built by some ancient civilization long ago.

As they explored the temple, the crew found clues that hinted at the temple's true purpose. There were carvings of strange, otherworldly creatures, and the walls were covered in mysterious hieroglyphics.

The crew also found a map that seemed to lead to a hidden treasure deep within the jungle. It was said that the treasure was guarded by a fearsome beast, and that whoever could defeat the beast would be rewarded with unimaginable wealth.

Despite the danger, the crew decided to follow the map and search for the treasure. They trekked deep into the jungle, battling savage beasts and navigating treacherous terrain.

Finally, after weeks of searching, they came upon the beast.

It was a massive, fire-breathing dragon, with razor-sharp claws and teeth. The crew fought valiantly, but the dragon was too strong, and many of the crew were injured in the battle.

As they lay wounded and defeated, the crew was surprised to hear a voice calling out to them. It was a wise old man, who had been watching the battle from afar. He had a plan to defeat the dragon, but it would require the crew to work together and use all their skills.

With the old man's guidance, the crew was able to create a trap that lured the dragon into a pit. They then ambushed the dragon, using their swords and guns to strike the final blow.

As the dragon lay dead,

the crew discovered the hidden treasure. It was a vast hoard of gold, jewels, and precious artifacts that had been hidden away for centuries.

The crew return to the camp and with riches beyond imagination joined by there new friend the old man,

With his help and knowledge of the island they forged a new ship out of a rare tree said to have special abilities and set sail never to be heard from again.

The end.

the fact that siffrin's life before forgetting was good. so painfully, so obviously loved and he doesn't remember any of it, they can't remember any of it, they are not allowed to ever remember it. the stars. their cloak, craft stitched into the seams, which keeps them comfortable no matter how hot or cold, which has grown with them for as long as he's had it. the stars. the night sky. an island with lightless sand. a dormant volcano? it got cold at night. the mountains, he said. the mountains, the sea, the lightless sand, dark like the night sky. did he freeze dormont overnight, the stars suspended eternally above, or did he simply wish that deeply to see the night sky once again? the constellations. the star charts. the telescopes. the stars. the stars. the stars. the universe. wishcraft. a language no one can understand. when siffrin talked about how they learned how to wish, everyone accepted it as the 'right' way without any real hesitation, even though all of them had learned differently, been taught differently, had only ever known differently. all of their experience vs siffrin's. almost like maybe there was a right way to wish, once. a way that people knew. a way that was accepted as correct, before it was forgotten. the universe rewritten. the stars in the night sky. are the constellations the same as they were before? or have they forgotten even themselves?

who wished for that? why? how many people? why? were they on the island, from the island, off the island, from anywhere else in the world? why? what did they believe? was it a wish made of fear? a wish made for safety's sake? those on the island had no idea what was going to happen. siffrin escaped by pure coincidence, by perfect, horrible timing. if they returned, what would they go back to? everything? nothing? culture and memories and understanding and warmth and love? nonexistence? would they remember their life outside of home? those outside would not remember them. why? why? the stars, the stars, the stars. craft stitched into the cloak, so painfully, so eternally loved. they owned a boat. did they know how to sail? how to rig the boat and tie the knots and use the stars to navigate the sea? why is it gone? who wished for that? why? why? why? the universe rewritten, endlessly erasing all memory and knowledge of itself, of the island that knew and loved it so. why? dreaming of thousands of lights. nostalgic. dreaming of stars, stars, stars. wanting to cry.

they do not remember their own name.
