The Book of Peace

The Snowy Mountain

...

Third Person P.O.V

A loud rumbling makes Sinbad emerge from his quarters, his expression concerned as he walks over to (Y/N).

"What...?" she breathes out, her eyes widening as she sees a flurry of snow overhead.

The ocean in front of them freezes over unnaturally, the snow pouring down now as the ship jerks to a stop. Spike whimpers as his drool freezes in place, his form shivering lightly.

"For crying out loud, what next?" Sinbad growls out in frustration, (Y/N) shivering as she hugs her arms. "Wait here."

Sinbad turns, flinching away from Kale standing behind him. "Oh, get a shirt on before you poke someone's eye out!"

Kale huffs, setting his hands on his hips as Sinbad brushes past him.

"Okay, guys! Get down there and break it up! We've got to keep moving!" Sinbad barks to the crew.

...

The crew murmur in distaste as they use pickaxes on the ice, chipping away at it slowly whole shivering.

"Steal the Book of Peace," Rat bitterly grumbles and scoffs, shivering in his fur vest. "We will retire in the tropics."

Sinbad walks out of his cabin wearing his winter gear, throwing an expensive woman's fur coat he had stolen over to Marina. The jacket hits her in face, making her yank it off with a snarl before begrudgingly putting it on.

(Y/N) sat on the side of the ship, hugging her arms together and shivering. A coat was lowered behind her, the fabric gently draping over her shoulders as a pair of gloves were dropped on her lap. She looks up, Sinbad already walking away up the deck as she smiles softly.

(Y/N) recognized the coat to be one of his own, since it was identical to the one he was wearing and large. She hugs it close for a moment before she slips it on and the gloves, sighing in relief at the warmth.

Spike starts barking lowly, Sinbad looking back to his faithful dog in confusion as a low growl echoes. Spike growls softly as his ears pin back, his fur bristling.

The men look up from picking at the ice, Marina slowly walking over to (Y/N) and setting an unsure hand on her. Spike runs to the two, barking and snarling as he looks up.

"What... is that?" (Y/N) breathes out, squinting as she sees something flying in the heavy snowfall.

Sinbad notices it, too, stepping forward with widened eyes as he looks around rapidly. The men ready themselves, Spike snarling before whimpering in fear as he runs back.

A giant snow-white bird suddenly bursts from the mountains, the men yelling and ducking as he flies above them.

"Get down!" (Y/N) yells, pulling Marina down as the bird flies around the ship.

Sinbad runs to the side of his ship. "Everyone! Back on the ship!"

"Hurry!" (Y/N) urges, the men slipping and staggering as they run to the ship's safety.

"Come on! Come on! Move faster!" Kale orders as he runs with the men.

Most of the crew makes it, Jed falling back since he was the furthest. Roc swoops around, noticing the man and screeching as he flies to him.

Roc swoops lower, almost grabbing him as Jed rips off his fogged up snow goggles before diving into water that was broken up from the ice, yelling in pain at the icy-sting.

"Jed!" (Y/N) exclaims with alarm, the man bursting from the water and struggling to climb up onto an ice chunk.

Marina runs back, grabbing a rope and throwing it. "Grab the rope!"
