On the clearest of nights when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful...
shown is a vast expanse of stars, purple and pinkish hues light up the area.
The great merchant ships with their cargoes of Arcturian solar crystals...
a large ship fly's into view. It basks in the glory of the star light as it travels through the "Etherium."
felt safe and secure...
Little did they suspect they were being perused by...
Pirates!
The ship, almost completely out of sight, is now being followed by another ship but this one is smaller, less modern-looking, and seems to have cannons on the sides. But right at the top of the ship is a flag, a black flag with a strange-looking skull...
And the most feared of all these pirates...
A man stands on the bow of the ship seen not even two seconds ago, but he looks strange, almost... alien.
was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint.
The man turns his head and depicted is as a monster, with 6 eyes, fangs as sharp as metal nails, but most importantly, a pirate hat.
"FIRE!!" says the man, raising his arm and pointing to the merchant ship.
Cannons start to fire at the merchant ship, men dressed in pirate attire swing from one ship to another. The people on the merchant ship, terrified as the power goes out. The guards and gunmen try and shoot the pirates down but they are no match, their efforts become useless as the least few pirates join the other ship, looking for something. Looking for gold.
Just as the scene unfolds a small head pops up between the ships. A girl, about age 5 is seen reading the holo-book, she has shortish brown hair, as if she has been growing it out after a very short cut, large brown eyes, and a huge smile on her face. She really was the cutest kid around, it was hard for anyone to say no to her, everyone except her parent.
Like a Candarian Zaftwing overtaking its prey-
"GAIL LYIN STEWART! GO TO SLEEP AND TURN OFF YOUR HOLO-BOOK!!"
The girl slams the book shut as her parent walked into the room and lit the lantern.
"you were supposed to be asleep an hour ago!?"
"I'm sorry," the young child says with a frown.
her parent gives her a half-smile and a small kiss on the head.
"It's alright kiddo... I forgive you, just go to bed!"
"OK! goodnight, I love you."
"love you too Jellyfish"
just as Gail's door is shut she re-opens the book to find it just where she left off.
- A Candarian Zaftwing overtaking its prey...
Flint and his band of renegades,
swooped in out of nowhere.
Gail looks at the moving pictures in absolute awe of everything, from the ships to their engines, from the pirates to the merchant ship passengers.
Gathering up all their spoils...
shown are moving pictures of a treasure chest's lock being cut off, coins, jewels, and gold spilling out as the chest is tipped onto the floor. Flint picked up and then held the 'spoils' close enough to his face Gail could almost feel the warmth of his breath.
The crew vanished without a trace.
"wow."
Flint's secret trove was never found, but stories have persisted that it remains hidden...
Now set between the crisp edges of the pages is a planet with a dark green glow. It has two rings intersecting to create an X shape in front of the mechanical looking planet.
somewhere in the farthest reaches of the Galaxy, stowed with riches beyond ones imagination, lies... the loot of a thousand worlds.
Treasure planet.
"Treasure Planet." the girl and the book say in unison.
The young one closes the book satisfied with her bedtime story, but as she tucks herself into bed she wonders about the loot of a thousand worlds.
"I wonder what it's like there. I wonder if it's real... No! I know it's real, and I am going to find it! when I grow up I want to be an explorer, maybe even a captain!"
the girl stands on her bed pretending to boss around a crew, she giggles as she falls down to her bed. Just as she starts to doze off a young boy, not older than the age of 1, waltzes into the room. Pulls the book down from the bedside table and opens it up.
There are nights when the winds of the Etherium, so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom, made one's spirit...
SOAR!
