Prompt: Bluster

A fine ship lifted from the tranquil abyss; its young captain's pulse quickening at her resurgence, an old excitement he believed to be forever lost with his Wench. Nervously, he took to the helm, fingering the ruins of a ship reborn; kindred spirits condemned to everlasting darkness. In his pockets rested a bartered compass that would compel them forward toward vast, changing horizons - to the grips of currents so fierce that whirlpools were swept along in its path. Sea-winds blustered gorse crowns to swell grandly at her sides; the ship shuddered, as they were both provoked back to life.
