LaserAndSandal

A week had passed since Ella joined the crew on their ship. The days went by peacefully, but there were more and larger areas of black goo appearing in the sea. It seemed to kill anything it touched, making it increasingly difficult for them to avoid it as they didn't know what effects it would have on their vessel. Ella mostly kept quiet during this time. She had initially set out seeking adventure when she decided to explore a mansion and now found herself in an unexpected journey aboard a ship sailing through unknown waters. While such a situation should have been thrilling, she also felt homesick as the place seemed so different from what she knew back home – fish in the sea that she had not seen or heard of, unusual birds flying overhead as if she was in a completely new world. On the other hand, Erik and Tom appeared to be getting along well. Although Tom missed his family, he remained confident that Erik would help him find them so they could reunite. A few more days passed until they reached the shores of another country. “This must be Jaleka,” said Erik, “We can get new supplies here and maybe some information about these dark waters.” “Finally stable land!” Tom exclaimed with excitement. Ella remained silent but followed them down to the shoreline. The beach was deserted and had a foul odor. As they ventured further inland, they encountered death and destruction.
