The eccentric island

No one knew that the thunderstorm of the passed night would change their fate for ever. When they anchored the ship, the crew set foot on the island. The captain kissed the beach as if it was the most beautiful place he had ever visited, took a deep breath and although it was the smell of salt and wet sand, he felt as if he was in the middle of a meadow with the most delicate flowers. In a blitz, he remembered about his crew and ran to their aid. His responsiblities were not about to end yet. He lent his hands to his crew for their medication. When these chorus were ended, the sun was almost above their heads. They gathered the supplies that had been drifted to the shore and some of the crewmen those were in good condition explored the nearby places to find some more food and water and a perfect spot to rest.

The captain moved aside for searching a spot too l and was alone. He possessed brown curious eyes and long black hairs tied in a pony tail that reached his soldiers, a brown sleeveless coat and a white full sleeved shirt that was wet and muddy and almost transparent which showed his well built arms , a black silhouette and a black full boot. He was still handsome although nearing forties and wore a scar across his left eye that looked more like an old scratch form a wild beast. Rumors were that he had once strangled a wild bear bare handed when he was still young and this scratch was a gift and a proof of his fight. He always said, "scars are ornaments and wounds are pride of a warrior"

He was roaming around the beach when suddenly, he felt something eerie about his surrounding and drew his special sword with a golden handle which was shaped like a dragon. He never let anyone touch his sword even in a dire situarion. He started his search again. Soon, he found many coconut trees and for bonus coconut crabs. Soon he returned to the same place with his crew, the ship was still visible from this place. They set their camp near the coconut trees. They made their shelters and had brunch together.

After sometime, captain away from his crew was staring at the red sky lying on a rock. He was wondering that he had never seen this species of coconut crabs although he had visited countless countries and Islands, he had also heard weird footsteps behind him, ithe seemed someone was limping but when he looked back there was no one and that is why he drew his sword out at that time. Not only this, even when he had spotted this island then too...

His thoughts were interpreted by a hoarse voice. Matt Hamster, who was also from the crew was shouting his name with a burning torch in his one hand and a dagger in another. It was dark. "Dark!", captain wondered. The clear red shy was cloudy now. He waved his hand but it seemed of no use in the dark. When he tried to shout, he felt like a lump in his throat and could not even speak. Soon, Matt dissolved in the darkness, his surrounding was as silent as graveyard, as dark as ink.
