The Captain's Secret (A love forbidden)

Chapter 16 ( Stuck)

  The Crystal's Power and the Sorceress's Warning"

   It was morning again and it's been days since  used the crystal so he walked into his room and unlocked it from it's box, it was pulling him in. So he gathered his crew and thought of performing for them since most of them hadn't experienced magic before.
      
     As Maximilian held Sofia's Crystal, he closed his eyes and focused his thoughts. He had done it before so he knew how it works. The crystal began to glow, and he felt a strange sensation, as if he were being transported to another time and place.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a vision of the past. He saw a young Sofia, standing on the deck of a ship, her hair blowing in the wind. She was holding a small, leather-bound book, and her eyes were shining with determination.

As Maximilian watched, Sofia opened the book and began to read. The words seemed to come alive, swirling around her in a vortex of light and color. The vision shifted, and Maximilian saw a great city, sprawling and majestic, with towers and spires reaching towards the sky.

He saw a figure, a woman with long, flowing hair and a white dress that shimmered like the moon. She was walking towards him, her eyes fixed on his, and Maximilian felt a sense of recognition, as if he had seen her before.

The vision faded, and Maximilian found himself back on the deck of the Maverick's Revenge, the crystal still clutched in his hand. He felt a sense of wonder and awe, and he knew that Sofia's Crystal had shown him something special, something that would help him on his journey.

He looked around at his crewmates, who were all staring at him with curiosity. "What did you see, Max?" Lyra asked, her eyes shining with excitement.

Maximilian smiled, his mind still reeling from the vision. "I saw the past," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I saw Sofia, and a great city, and a woman with hair like gold."

The crew nodded, their faces filled with wonder. They knew that Sofia's Crystal was special, and they were eager to see what other secrets it held.

     Maximilian had used Sofia's Crystal again and had seen a vision of the future. He was conflicted about using the crystal's power, but ultimately decided to use it to guide him on his journey.

After using the crystal, Maximilian felt a sense of unease. He began to question whether his decisions were truly his own or if they were being influenced by the crystal's power. He started   feel like a puppet, with the crystal pulling the strings.

As he struggled with these doubts, he received a message from an unknown sender. The message read: "Meet me at the old windmill on the outskirts of town. Come alone."

Maximilian was hesitant, but his curiosity got the better of him. He decided to go to the meeting, hoping to find answers about the crystal and its power.

As he approached the windmill, he saw a figure waiting for him. It was a woman with long, flowing hair and a white dress that shimmered in the moonlight. She introduced herself as Ariana, a powerful sorceress who had been watching Maximilian from afar.

Ariana revealed that she had created Sofia's Crystal, imbuing it with her own power and magic. She warned Maximilian that the crystal's power came with a great cost, and that he must be careful not to lose himself to its influence.

Maximilian was torn. He knew that the crystal's power had helped him so far, but he also knew that he couldn't rely on it forever. He had to find a way to balance his own instincts with the crystal's guidance, or risk losing himself completely.

What they didn't know was that they were stuck in a loop. Their bodies sprawln on the beach.
How will they get out this time?
