Story
Ghost hunter (Points: 30)
Poem about a young fisherman
The son of a fisherman, a blue-eyed boy,
Careless and kindly warm,
He spun nets and climbed the longboats,
And his laughter flew over the shore...
What happened to him? He doesn't laugh anymore.
He silently knits knot by knot
On a ship that rushes in the dark,
And the waves are raging overboard.

Phantom Wanderer (Points: 40)
The Legend of the White Ash
It's a long-standing affair ... It all happened before Winslow took the reins into his own hands..
About two hundred years ago there was a ship loved by the sea itself.
The people on land regarded his captain as king. It seemed that even the sea wind was on his side.
Soon, he himself believed in his omnipotence - they say, who else but him, Viosike, rule the seas.
The witch Sarahiel shared a secret with him, telling about the treasure in the forbidden waters, and convinced the vain poor man that it rightfully belongs to him.
Without a doubt, he assembled a reliable crew and began to prepare for the voyage..
However...
Both he and his team became white ash. As in the name of that ship.
Many people still remember him and believe that the chosen one of the sea got to the treasures..
Where is he now and when the sea finally lets him go...

Ghost Ship Captain (Points: 50)
Ghost Ship
"Captain, where are you this time?" - I asked, but I never received an answer.
Taking a sip of wine, he gazed lonely out the window.
I wonder what he saw - the sea or your oppressive melancholy.
When the ship finally returned, withstanding a violent storm, there was no one on board..
No one called me - they knew that I could not hold back my tears.
When the rain ended and I saw your ship swaying serenely on the waves, tears poured from my eyes.
They flowed and flowed, leaving wet paths on the cheeks.
It's your fault.
Did you try to run away from me? But where?
You can't get off the ship, so why did you leave me?
So that not a single suffering soul with a thirst for vengeance leaves the ship, I put everyone in a bottle.
Everyone is here except you. I'm scared to see what I've become. I tirelessly appeal to your soul, shadow, voice, repeat your name and sing our songs alone. Were you afraid of me too?
I'm just a woman. To the sound of the sea, I fell asleep next to you and had dreams.
It doesn't matter if you're alive or not.
I will find you anyway, and we will become one. Together forever.
