Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) The Marquis - Origins - Chapter 4: The Storm The story so far: Chapter 1 - The InterrogationChapter 2 - Early DaysChapter 3 - The First Mate Chapter 4 - The Storm (you are here) Interrogator: What happened then? Lady Bonny: Well, one day in October they were on one of their …. merchant missions. Interrogator: … and then? Lady Bonny: Then the weather suddenly changed. The first mate urged his friends to return to their home port, but… Interrogator: .. but? Lady Bonny: Somehow, they hesitated. They lost time. Precious time. And then it was too late. Lady Bonny: They were hit by the full might of the storm. It was horrible. Wave after wave shook their boat. Then the waves started to roll over it. Interrogator (gasps) Lady Bonny continued: After what seemed an endless fight against the sea and the storm, the Marquis found himself washed on the beach of his home island. The ship was severely damaged – and his friends were nowhere to be found. It seemed he was the only survivor. He checked the island, he looked out to the sea but there was no one but him. He was alone. Completely alone. His friends were lost at sea. He never saw them again. Heartbroken, he set up two wooden crosses on the beach to commemorate his friends. Lady Bonny’s voice had gone silent. She paused for a long moment and the interrogator did not say a word. (to be continued) next chapter Edited July 17, 2022 by Captain Braunsfeld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOD Posted July 15, 2022 That's a sad story. All photos with the rain are very well edited. Even though the story is sad, I like the last photo. Perhaps his friends were rescued by a passing ship. This could be on the way to a far away land, so they never saw each other again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted July 16, 2022 The rain was a nice touch for all these scenes. It really helps set the mood of the story. The brickbuilt sky is great too, I especially like the red in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope to reuse them in happier chapters 8 hours ago, Jeff of Clubs said: Aw. Poor fella. Great cloudwork there. Poor monkey, yes.

The brickbuilt sky: well after months of hiding strange colours within mountains, etc. I was suddenly in need of them I was able to find just about enough of them...
