The Black Ship That Won't Stop - Part 1

It never dawn on anyone that their ship was being eyed by a mysterious being deep under the sea. The sea itself was alive with many mysterious sea creatures. Some big and some tiny. Tiny but may take one's life away. They had sailed for days in pursue of a black ship that legend been told that it carried many golds and no one could ever dreamt of finding it unless managed to boarding it.

The black ship moves constantly at a speed around the world. It never stop and it never accepts passengers at any ports. Of course, it will never stop at any port too. Some had seen it moving slowly in northern seas of the Carribean but some said it was in the Black Seas. The ship roamed the Seven Seas. Those who are lucky enough to board the ship will never come back forever. The captain of the ship, some said, was a well known merchant who traded spices, silks and other goods of luxury. It was one night, he had a misfortune and stirred off course into an unknown sea and never return. Maybe that black ship was his but how did the gold related to him that no one knows.

"Stars not readable, captain", the navigator had tried to read the stars as to locate their where abouts. "Aye, look again", said the captain. "Slow down now", he told the first officer. It was windless and the sea was very calm. "This sea is very unfamiliar, captain", said one of the men.
