***************

"Four months earlier since you leave us in the Fairy Island.We thought that you were dead.Hope leave our hearts to continue our mission for the island where we grow up. We decided to go back to the island. We follow the route going to the west discovering new ways on how to go back easily." he started.

He shook his head. Then he continued...

"When we were near on the island, we heard guns and bombs exploding. They were of extraordinary people. We thought that it is a kingdom and a kingdom fight. We thought that it is the kingdom of Oz fighting against Feranis, a kingdom from the south. As we go nearer and nearer, we heard several of persons shouting and some are yelling."

"Then, we saw big ships! They have flags of different kingdoms and some were unidentified. Their were war ships from the Magic Kingdom, Oz, Feranis, Iranes, Briton, Edessa,  and Ecbatana....all the powerful kingdoms of Fantasia. Some ships are of the known pirate groups. Their were ships of New World Pirates, Yatis, Jackals, White Bombers, Mad Dog, and White Pearl Pirates. Such a fearful kind of war! It is a war between pirates and kingdoms, first time in the history of Fantasia....and it happened in our island!!!" he said with his very hard emotions.

"We had done nothing to stop the war on our island, or just drive the war out of our island. We had done nothing...we just watch the island as it was ruined by both groups." then he stops talking.

All were silent. They all just watch the flag of their ships.  The Aragon Ship was manage by the captain together with Zorayda, H. Camen, and Maria Telde. The other ship was named as the Golly... it was their new ship built by Maria Telde, Zorayda, and H. Camen. It is bigger than the Aragon and has a red flag, with two crossed-swords and a full moon drawn at the center. 

"It is alright. It's not your fault my friends...you can blame it to me. I am your captain and I am the one responsible for everyone of you. But look at me now, I left you in the Fairy Island and because of that...we didn't worked together as one team and we didn't save the island where we grow. It was all my fault." the captain blame himself.

The night arrived but they didn't find a land yet.The heavens begun to dark and the clouds poured out water. Thunders splashes as lightning sparks. They all sheltered themselves inside the ships. Some were washing the waters out of the ships.

Suddenly, they looked at the dark blue ocean. There appeared a giant creature. It looks like a man with long and red shaggy beards. It holds a trident on its left hand and  a fishing net on the right hand. Then all bowed down in him. The giant speaks with a roaring voice;

"Afraid not dear pirates. I like your way of respecting to me. I am Hydros, the god of the oceans and the ruler of Mermydia. I just want to introduce myself and also I am warning you that the god of the dark ocean was after you. He will send monsters now and then."

Then he vanished away.....The night pass by and the crew slept without harm.

Early in the morning, all begin to wake. They see the beautiful ocean colored with the golden rays of the sun. But the most amazing of all is the group of butterflies flying with different colors. They were like fairies crossing the wide ocean. They were heading west. 

"Let us follow the direction of the butterflies. I am sure that they will be heading to another fantastic island to the west." the captain ordered.

They turned west...but alas! a whirl pool appeared and it is carrying the two ships down. The ships turned around and around. The crew can't control their ships. The ship Golly sunk into the deep ocean, carried by the water. The half of the crew was there, lead by Maria and Zorayda. 

"Throw the ankle to the Golly!!! Hurry!" as he shouted.

But it was too late. Golly was swallowed by the ocean. From the depth of the ocean, their rises a monster. It was like a giant serpent who had four wings and a giant horn just of the goat. It was called the Destructa. It swallowed the Golly and also the men who was in there except for Maria and Zorayda who escaped from the mouth of the monster. The two ladies swam back to the Aragon.

Then, the pool stopped and it was thereby a chance for the crew to flee from the monster. They manage it as fast as they can following the path of the butterflies while being chase by the monster. Finally, they had seen an island. As they go nearer and nearer to the island, the monster turned back at the deep of the ocean. It didn't followed them again. And all were amazed on the island.

Such an amazing place it was!!! They could hardly believe what they had seen. All were quite amazed even the captain.What island is this?

"Another beautiful island. Maybe this one is unexplored or maybe it is filled with great consequences. I am sure there are lots of gold in this island!!!" the captain said in amazement.

All were silent for a moment. Finally, they had reach an island after a day of searching and after they had lost half of the crew. What kind of island would that be? How beautiful is that island? What is the name of that island? Did someone explored that part of Fantasia? Those questions were on everyone's mind...
