Narrow ethyl fought the void ringers during the days of the heralds and radiance. When there was finally piece he found he was not content. His eyes always turned westward toward the great open sea. He commissioned the finest ship of men had ever known. A majestic vessel intended to do what none had dared before sail the seas during a high storm. Derek, Those goal was to seek the origin over the void. Brinker's the place where they had been spawned. Many called him before. Yet he could not hold himself back. He named the vessel the Wonder Sale and gathered a crew of the bravest of sailors. Then, on a day when a high storm brewed this ship cast off, writing out into the ocean. The sale hung wide, like arms open to the storm winds. They're wonder. Sale ran aground and was nearly destroyed. But Dara fell, and most of his sailors survived.

These Avada, these people of the great abyss we're prone toe astonishing cruelty. If one of their members did something wrong, something the slightest bit untoward or unfavorable, the others would slaughter him or her. Each time he asked, Derek else Caretaker gave him the same answer. Our emperor will not suffer failure. The Emperor Dara Thel discovered resided in the tower on the eastern coast of the largest island. Among the avada death all determined that he needed to confront this cruel emperor. What kind of monster would demand such an obviously peaceful people kills so often and so terribly. There, though, gathered his sailors ah Harow group and they armed themselves the u of r and did not try to stop them, though they watched with fright as the stranger storms at the emperor's tower. Dara Thel and his men came out of the tower, a short time leader carrying a desiccated corpse in fine robes in jewelry. This is your emperor, Marathon demanded. We found him in the top room alone. It appeared that the man had been dead for years, but nobody had dared into his tower. They were too frightened of him. When he showed the Obara the dead body, they began to wail in weep. The entire island was cast in the chaos as the Ovando began to burn homes, riot or fall to their knees and torment. Amazed and confused marathon, his men stormed the U of honor shipyards. When the Wonder sail was being repaired, their guide and caretaker joined them, and she begged to accompany them in their escape. So it was that not He joined the crew. Dara Othello and his men set sail. And though the winds were still, they rode the wonder sail around the world pool, using the momentum to spend them out and away from the islands. Long after they left, they could see the smoke rising from the instance of Lee peaceful lands. They gathered on the deck, watching and death. Alas, Nafti, the reason for the riots. Holding a blanket around herself, staring with haunting eyes at her lands, she replied, Do you not see traveling one if the emperor was dead? It has been all these years than the murders we committed or not his responsibility. They are our own. And thus concludes the story of Dara, Thel and the Wonder Sale.
