"Now... bring me that horizon."
- Captain Jack Sparrow
The pirate ship is smashed to debris. The hydra has its wine– the only thing remaining intact among the spectacular shipwreck. "My thanks," declares the captain. The hydra bows its many head in salute. "I will ssssswim you till the shallowsssss," he says.
Dare
The Oaken Inkwell, propelled by the strength of the hydra, begins gliding along the calm water with speed it had lacked for too long. Soon enough, in the distance of the crystalline sea, a hazy blue mass of land appears. "Land ho!" Someone cries. The end is almost in sight. Sprint to your next multiple of 500.
Ambiance
A cheer goes up among the crew, the call of gulls is heard, and the sea splits cleanly around the ship in ocean spray. Soon enough, the clanging of bells and the yells of sea folk begin to carry over the waters, and the hydra slips away.
Prompt
You approach the bow of the ship, where the captain enjoys the sea spray. "Have you ever had a voyage such as this?" You ask.
There is a pause as the captain considers. "Every voyage is different."
"Do you wish you could change it?"
"Always and never, friend."
