“Don’t worry Lee, that’s exactly what I want.” I whispered with an evil looking grin on my face. Lee
seemed to understand and smiled back.
Boom! The pirate ship crashed on to the rocks under the water. Unexpected waves caused by the crash hit
our conqueror and it shook hard.
“Hang on tight!” I yelled
Our ship shook so hard that the ship bumped onto one of the rocks. I held on the rudder and tried my best
to make the ship balance again. As the ship bumped on the rock, the some of the crews can’t maintain their
balance and bumped onto the left side of the hull. The ship tilled too much to the left side.
“Don’t stay at the left side! Run to the right side! ” I yelled and we landed at the Skull Bay.
Luckily no big and deadly problems were caused by the crash and successfully survived. Looking back at the
sinking pirate ship, we all cheered and hugged one another, celebrating our victory...
Chapter 3
Some suspicious fog appeared while we are letting our precautious down. I felt very dizzy and a voice
approached me
“Brother! I missed you a lot!” the voice said and I was hugged by someone. I took a closer look of the
person and I realized that the owner of the voice is my sister!
“What...What are you doing here? Aren’t you home taking care of father and mother?” my sister giggled
and pointed backwards.
“It has been a long time since we last met, my son.” a voice said
The voice is so familiar that it seems like I just heard it before...
“Father?” I asked
“I am also here my dear,” another voice says.
My father and mother appeared from the shadow. I am so surprised and happy that I burst into tears. We
hugged each other and I showed them around, introducing them to my crews. I showed them my very own
room and also the deck. My mother and my sister cooked the most delicious dinner and it is exactly the
same taste as before. For once, after I have been sailing on the sea for so long, I finally had a warm feeling of
home. The happiest thing was that they finally understood why I had left home and sailed on the sea as they
were also astonished by the beauty and the power of the sea. The sea...the sea? But aren’t I at the Skull Bay?
I realized that something fishy was going on...
“Can you help me to massage a bit, my dear sister? I asked, trying the figure out what is wrong.
“Of course my brother! I will be delighted to help you to the best of my ability!” my sister answered
cheerfully.
She is not my true sister, I am sure about that. I know her like the back of my hand. She would never say
something like that, never! She would usually just ask me to do it myself. The ‘sister’ standing in front of
me, talking to me is just the sister I wanted her to be, my expectation but never the reality. My family never
understood me! They just couldn’t ever understand the beauty and power of the sea! They even scolded me
for promising to complete this mission! I finally understand what is happening. All of the things I am seeing
right now are just illusions, my expectation but not the reality. Somehow, the suspicious fog can create
illusion basing on the world you wish it to be, the world base on your expectations.
But then came another question... How do I suppose the get rid of the illusions? I tried serval ways like kept
on telling myself that this is fake in a brain-washing way, using a pin to pin myself and trying to sleep.
However, none of them work! I started to panic and my I can’t brainstorm anymore solutions. I stared at the
sea trying to keep calm to brainstorm ideas. The fog makes me feel sick, the fog! If I did not breathe then I
wouldn’t have anymore illusion! I held my breath as hard as I can. I started to feel lack of oxygen supply but
I keep on telling myself that I am almost there, I am almost there...
Chapter 4
I am finally back to reality, I breathed hardly as I have never breath before. I saw my crew all unconscious or
I should say day-dreaming. I spotted Lee immediately and woke him up from his illusions.
“What’s happening? Where am I?” Lee asked and squeezed my cheeks
“Are you crazy? Don’t you dare to do it one more time.” I said angrily
“It is you, the true captain Leung!” he said and hugged me.
“You have no idea what you did in my dreams.” He laughed and said
“Let’s wake the crews up, leave this creepy place and we can leave the chatting later, cool?” I asked
Lee nodded his head and we started to wake the others up.
