Just a note: This prologue SHOULD seem familiar to most Treasure Planet fans. I took the beginning of the movie w/ the narrator and then added a few parts. The * is where the narrator stopped and I added more. Please comment! This is my first time with a Treasure Planet fanfic and I want it to be amaaaaaaaaaaazing!

Prologue
On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful, the great merchant ships with their cargoes of Arcturian sura crystals felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect that they were pursued by pirates. And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint. Like a Candarian zap-wing overtaking its prey, Flint and his band of renegades swooped in out of nowhere. And then, gathering up their spoils… vanished without a trace. Flint's secret trove was never found, but stories have persisted that it remains hidden somewhere at the farthest reaches of the galaxy, stowed with riches beyond imagination—the loot of a thousand worlds: Treasure Planet…
…There are nights when the winds of the Etherium—so inviting in their promise of flight and freedom—made one's spirit soar.* The gentle whisper of the winds slithering between the mizzen and across the bridge of a great freighter only stimulated the yearning of the young to take wing. But they must first realize that before the young can fly, the young must walk. Walk, and be free, for the free are the ones who glow like a raging solar fire, illuminating the heavens and drawing lines in the sky. Only then will the young spirit soar.
