The salty air. The sound of the waves crashing down ringing through your ears made you smile unknowingly. It was your dream to travel the world thanks to your father.

You were from a pretty normal family. You were not too poor but not too wealthy. You had just enough for a beautiful house, enough food for days, cosy beds and warm clothes. You were an only child and you were happy. Your parents loved you with all their heart and you loved them.

Your father worked at the harbour repairing ships for the fishermen and sailors. Your mom worked hard around the house but you helped her to do everything but also going out to play at the harbour while your dad worked. That's where you learned how to work and repair a ship.

Your dad would always hear stories of how other sailors travelled the world and explored new and vast lands. Your dad would retell the stories to you and that's how your dad decided to build his own boat.

It took 2 years to build the boat and your dad decided to name it the SS. Dreamchaser. When your father finally finished the boat his dreams were crushed a few months later.

Then came the war against Germany. Your dad had to go into war and leave you and your mom. You were devastated. Knowing that more than half the soldiers die in war.

And you were right. 3 years after your dad left, a soldier came to your house telling you that your father died in an assassination.

You were heartbroken and so was your mom. You both loved your dad. You started to work at the same harbour knowing the man your dad worked with knew you were just as good as your dad. He hired you instantly.

Things were starting to look good but a month later...

You were busy fixing a ship for fishermen but then the sound of sirens from police cars caught your attention and you saw they were headed towards your house.

You ran as fast as your two legs could take you. The sight of your house and 5 police cars encouraged you to run faster.

You were stopped by a policeman telling you that you couldn't enter your house. That's when he told you that your mom killed herself in the bathroom and wanted to give you a letter.

Dear Y/N

I am so sorry but I couldn't stand being in a world without your father. I miss him dearly and I need to be in his arms once again. Your father left you the supplies for his travels in the basement. He never got to live out his dream. So please sail and travel the world for me and for your father. I love you.

Goodbye

The letter broke your heart even more. That day you decided to do as your mother wished. A week after your mother's suicide you packed your stuff and boarded the SS. Dreamchaser and sailed off.

Everything went smoothly until a storm hit you.

The waves crashed against your boat and you were soaking wet. The wind ripped your sail and you lost control of your boat. The sight of a giant wave made you worry and your boat capsized.

Few hours after the storm

You woke up to the sound of waves once again. Your body hurt really badly. You coughed out a lot of water and saw you were on a beach.

You looked around for your boat but the only thing that was left was a board with the name SS.Dreamchaser.

That's how you ended up on Skull Island. The place of danger and adventures. After you shipwrecked on the shore on the east part of the island you were encountered by a man called Hank Marlow. He was a former soldier during world war 2 but crashed on the island while he was flying a plane with a Japanese pilot Gunpei Ikari. Gunpei went insane and tried to kill Hank but was scared off by Kong.
