RainyDayReading342: I guess I kinda get it, but people should be allowed to be sad sometimes, right?

KGWingfeatherFan: Oh, come on guys, Let the High King speak! I mean, I agree with Kal, you shouldn't pout for the whole day!

Great job! Pls write more!

A/N: Thank you! I'm glad you like my story!


Since they made it past the Fang Ship line, the entire crew of the ship celebrated. They told stories, and some of them sung songs, and some told jokes.

Janner enjoyed the time when they told stories.

One sailor told of a time his ship had been attacked by Sea Dragons, even though they weren't hunting for them. All Annierans held the dragons as sacred creatures.

Another sailor said that his ship had been attacked by Pirates from the Symian straight, but how his men had valiantly fought them off.

Janner enjoyed writing all of these stories down in his journal. They would make great stories to tell his family. He might even publish a book filled with sailors stories.

"Janner my lad!" The captain walked over and stood in front of Janner, who was sitting on an empty bucket listening to everyone.

"Yes sir?" Janner looked up from his journal.

The captain smiled. "Ban Rona has been spotted in the distance. We should dock by the morning."

Janner couldn't help but groan.

"What's wrong lad?"

Janner shook his head. "I'll have to talk to the keeper, but he and his son don't care for the Wingfeather family."

The captain sighed. "Son, you're gonna have to face Grigory sooner than later."

"I wish it was later." Janner grumbled.

The captain frowned. "Maybe Nibbick will listen? Maybe he's changed."

"I sure hope so."


Once the family had finished eating dinner, Artham and Nia went to check for any updates they could get on Janner's ship.

When they heard that the ship had made it past the line, Artham ran all the way to the family room to tell the good news. Everyone was overjoyed to hear that the ship was safe.

"So," Kal said once everyone had calmed down from the joy. He turned to Artham. "How long till the ship reaches Ban Rona?"

Artham shrugged. "It depends on the weather. Judging by the reports, the weather is fine, so the ship should dock in Ban Rona by sunrise."

Kal grinned as he accepted that answer.

"So, we just wait now?" Leeli asked.

Nia nodded her head. "We just wait."

"But, it looks to be getting dark out, so we might want to get ready for bed." Arundelle stated.

Nia nodded her head in agreement.

Kal sighed as he got up.

"Why so sad?" Sara laughed as she walked past him.

He heaved a heavy sigh, obviously wanting to stay up to wait for information on the ship.

Artham grinned as he watched his nephew leave the room.

"Kal, what's wrong?" Leeli asked once they were out of the room.

Kal frowned. "I just wanted to wait for any new reports on the ship."

"Kal, I'm sure Artham will wake you up if there's any new reports." Sara said. "I mean, you're the king!"

Kal nodded his head. "I guess so."

"And anyway, you'd probably wake up if you heard a soldier running down the halls of the castle." Leeli added.

Kal nodded his head again.

And so they then parted ways and each went to their own room.


"Land ho! Land ho!"

Janner bolted out of his cot and ran out to the deck of the ship. Dimly, in the early sunrise, he could see the outline of Ban Rona as the ship drew near.

"What's that?" The captain sprinted out onto the deck.

The crew member, a scrawny boy named Joseph, answered. "I've spotted Ban Rona! We're about half an hour away!"

The entire crew woke up with how loud Joseph had spoken.

The captain laughed and slapped his knee. "Hurry lads! Raise the sails! The sooner the better!"

The crew sprang into action, and very quickly were the sails raised.

The captain smiled at Janner, then walked up to the ships high deck. He began to steer the ship directly for the Watercrawl.


"Sir! A ship has been spotted in the distance!" A Durgan Patrol Officer said, running into the Keep of Ban Rona.

The keeper, Nibbick Bunge, stepped up from his throne and walked down to see the officer.

"A ship? What flag does it bear?" He asked.

"The Annieran flag sir."

Bunge nodded his head, then turned to all of his Durgan Officers, who were on standby. "Men, let's take a ride to the dock, shall we?"

The men all agreed and walked out with Bunge.
