The Saviours
St Stephen's College Preparatory School, Lee, Kelly - 9
Beginning:
A long time ago, a pirate crew called ‘’The Saviours ” accidentally saved a person from Coral Reef. As
a thank you present, he gave 2 maps of the Coral Reef to the pirates.The second map pointed out some
spots for hiding gold and treasure. However, the facilities were not advanced enough for them to find the
position of Coral Reef, hence they couldn’t get the gold and treasure. They passed these maps down from
generation to generation, but nobody ever found the riches. One day, a pirate crew member was reminded
of the story and decided to start a journey to Coral Reef. Different from the other pirate crews, “The
Saviours” was a team of pirates that donated their valuable treasures to poor people who were in need of
help, and they could make friends along their journeys.
During the journey:
They kept doing what they usually did, going island by island, giving help to poor people. Along the
way, they saw other pirate crews who wanted to steal all the valuable treasures for themselves. “The
Saviours” had no choice but to defend. Fortunately, they won the war and the journey continued.
Eventually, bad weather arrived. Fortunately, the pirates were very experienced with tackling extreme
weather and the passengers were well-protected.
The next day, they arrived at the Coral Reef. When they landed, they saw tall trees and lots of sand.
First, “The Saviours” went to the closest cove and started searching for treasure. They found another clue.
The clue said that if they passed all the challenges then they would find the most valuable treasure there is.
Next, “The Saviours’’ went to a big cove. It was very dark and they couldn’t see a thing, suddenly, they saw
something coming down from the ceiling, it was another clue. It said that they had to go straight ahead to
the next cove and ‘’The Saviours’’ would have to find the golden key to unlock the secret door to get the
most valuable treasure from the biggest cove called “The Enchanted Cove’’. So off they went to “The
Enchanted Cove’’. Inside, there were thousands of shimmering jewels and other valuables. When they went
inside they started searching for the golden key to unlock the secret door to the most valuable treasure. It
took them an entire day just trying to find the golden key, but “The Saviours’’ couldn’t find it. One of the
crew members found something that was the most shiny treasure he had ever seen in his life. When he
reached it, he noticed that it was golden and it was a key. “The Saviours’’ had finally found the golden key.
The next day, “The Saviours’’ found a cove called ‘’The Enchanted Island’’. It was enormous! When they
went inside, they found many types of treasure, such as gold, silver, jewels and other valuable treasure.
“The Saviours’’ were overjoyed. They were so relieved they didn’t get trapped in anything or have to have
another war with other pirate crews. “The Saviours’’ were very glad that they could help the poor people.
The poor people were also very happy to be helped. Everyone happily boarded the ship and set sail back
home. They started to find the other poor people and loaded the valuable treasure aboard at every island that
they passed by and gave every poor person ten big bags of gold, silver, shiny jewels and more, to celebrate
they all drank wine and danced.
Farewell:
Passengers were getting on the ship through the extended deck one by one.
Their family members were crying with smiling faces. They all felt honored and joyful for them and
showed that by waving hands and hats to say goodbye.
The passengers also felt excited about the potential unknown adventure.
The decoration of the small boats:
The small boats were 10 meters long and 5 meters tall. They were a brownish red, with one
underground floor. On the deck, there was a control centre which had the steering wheel and instrument
panels in the stern of the boats. Some anchors were attached at the stem of the boats. What’s more, there
was a guardian angel with a mermaid look with curly long hair at the front of each small boat. Her hands
were attached to the boats and her chest is facing upwards.
The lower ground had 2 bunk-beds, and several survival supplies such as food, sails, bows, arrows, and
signal detonators. Each small boat had 4 guards to ensure the safety of the big ship by keeping track around
the ocean. When it was time to look out for the big ship, there would be 2 guards for each turn, one in
charge of controlling the wheel, and the other responsible for the long-distance viewing binoculars to
observe if there were any dangers near them.
