It was a beautiful, clear morning, cloudless and crystal bright all across the horizon, calm waves under the keel and the scent of spring hanging in the air. )

The storms of what used to be and what isn't yet are pretty cool!

Thank you! I've been wanting to dabble in this world and hadn't found the right words yet - I finally decided it made more sense just to call it what it is instead of making up some fancy name for it. ^_^

Seafaring stories with storms always makes me feel adventurous. And the storm of what would-be instead of what was. That was really cool. And I like the somber ambience that you kept throughout this. Very nicely written.

Thank you! ^_^ I'm hoping to do more in this world; the idea of the storms is a fun one.

Hmmm...
I don't think I've had the opportunity to comment much, but you should know I really dig your writing ;)
This seems like it should be the second chapter of a rather intriguing book and I love how you've managed to create your own language used by the characters here and there.
Nice job!

Thank you so much! ^_^

This probably is a second chapter. Maybe a first chapter with a prologue in front of it - I'm not sure yet. It's one of those stories that I've had brewing in my head for awhile but haven't actually tackled yet. I'm hoping to keep picking at it via flame prompts this month. ^_^
