Penned in Notes for August:
Few weeks ago, a fishing boat reported a creature in the waters between Skara and Jhelom. I had wanted to dismiss such rumors but felt it was more responsible to send the Best Dragon Warrior and a Britain Naval ship and crew to investigate, as I waited for the ships return, time was beginning to go by and it was past the time I felt was right for its return I began to worry, especially since my best Dragon warrior was my Niece, AnnaBeth. I began to pace the floor of my office, perhaps a walk to the docks was in order, best to be closer to the incoming ship. There, just like at my office I paced, and chatted with the harbor master. As he spoke to me, he told of tales he had heard of legendary creatures that had not been seen in a very long time, appearing to ship at sea recently. This did not help my anxiety and I tried to refrain from crying, if my sister hears of this, she will be furious with me for sending her daughter. Travel by land was dangerous from risks of the Mad Piper and now Trolls that could be under some sort of spell or Trance from the Piper as well. With Britains Pontifex - Roberto, the bridge inspector, missing and not knowing of his where abouts yet or if he was even still alive. making land travel unsafe, the sea had to be well guarded. Trades with cities must go on for the Kingdoms wellbeing.
Time for Annabeth's return had been many hours past time we had thought would be her return, but across the bay I could see a large ship slowly making its way to the docks. My focus was on the lights on the ship and my anxiety was at its peak, hopefully this is my niece returning. I began shifting my weight from one leg to the other, in a rocking motion. I could now see the sails and saw the Dragon that was sewn into the sails. It was her ship but was she ok? My anxiety was still extremely high. As the ship drew even closer, I could see her bright Golden Hair, she was clutched with one hand holding onto the mast and waving with her other hand. Big sigh of relief and I felt much better.
As she jumped from the ship onto the docks, she ran up to me hugging me. She began to tell of the experience she had just had. As she spoke " everything seemed fine but as we neared Skara City shores something happened, big waves came up and pushed the ship south, the wind and waves were horrendous. The ship was being tossed all over the waters, I couldnt get a close look at what was doing it, just something right under water level, maybe some sort of scalis. The old fisherman on the boat kept mumbling *Charybdis, Charybdis* but I could see anything, I only felt the ship get tossed back and forth, then it just stopped" as she looked at me, she just shrugged. I asked her " Do you feel the waters are safe? Now I know how much AnnaBeth tries not to worry me, she looked me straight in the eyes, but blinked an looked away as if something had caught her attention back at the ship, she replied " everything was fine everywhere where else we patrolled and I feel it was just a Sea storm, but yes, the fisherman still claims it was Charybdis. I think he is just a little off. I would not worry about the sea I feel like it's fine."......
