Zak Storm - The Chosen One

Stormy Winds in Aeria

They had just left the portal to Aeria, and Zak was still staring into space. His crew looked at each other anxiously. They didn't know any advice. Calabrass was proper fed up with the silence. "Arr... What's up today, you landlubbers?" "Not now, Calabrass." Before Calabrass could say anything else, Cece took the role. "Zak, it's not bad if you're concerned about it. That's normal. Everyone has something that worries them and doesn't let go... For example, I don't know how to govern my kingdom later..." "Or Crogar doesn't know how to live without friends," Crogar agreed with Cece. "The most important thing is to help and trust each other." Zak nodded with a smile, and took the wheel more firmly. "Chaos, on to the Waypoint!" 

But when Zak drove forward, a tornado hit the Chaos and Zak was ripped away from the rudder. The Chaos made involuntary turns until the tornado released them. "Wow, that was unbelievable," Caramba marvelled as everyone slowly rallied again. "It wasn't a normal gust of wind. Something is wrong here. The sea looks more restless than usual," Calabrass said. "Maybe we can get our heads around it, and find out why the sea is going crazy," Zak said. "Sounds like a good plan," Calabrass replied with amusement. "Calabrass! Give me the Eye of Aeria!" 

A few seconds later, Zak stood on the rail with his armour and lightning axe. "Ready?" "Get on with it, Captain!" Zak fired a flash of light and closed his eyes. "What's going on?" asked Clovis. "They seem to be communicating." Zak pinched his eyes tighter and raised Calabrass higher. Suddenly the lightning came back, passing through Calabrass and into Zak's arm, holding the sword. A bright flash flared up and Zak fell back. "Zak! Are you okay?" He nodded slightly. "What did it say?" asked Clovis, curiously. "The sea is frightened and angry because of... us." Cece frowned. "What does the sea have against us?" she asked, astonished. "Because of all the battles with Bones that we hold in the sea, the sea is trying to defend itself. The lightning was, so to speak, a warning. I tried to say that we are trying to protect the seas..." Disappointed, Zak withdrew, with a fresh burn scar on his arm. 

"Calabrass... What am I doing wrong? How can I protect the seas while stopping Bones? We can't run away all the time." "Think about it: we are not fighting against the sea, but with the sea. Because I think the Seven Seas hate Bones as much as we do." "You know what? It's a really great idea." Zak ran out of the cabin, but before explaining the idea to his friends, shots were fired and the Chaos was thrown back. "Well, beautiful! Come on Chaos! Don't let it shoot again!" Another shot fell and as if they weren't already a problem though, the sea again showed itself incomprehensible to the 7C's. "Today doesn't seem to be our most glorious day," Cece shouted against the winds. When Zak saw a dark shadow coming even closer, he didn't fear anything good. "Oh no, not that yet! ...Bones."
