Setting Sail (Darius and Bucks)

Darius and Bucks ventured out into the city. There were ships un- like he had ever seen not even in the books he had read.

There were all sorts of wierd flags flying from them that told the tale of the ships story.

Darius, stood over the railings watching all the scurrying around. Bucks never left his side. He also wondered where they were.

Darius stoped one of the mates that was going down to the docks.

” Sir, what might your ships name be?”

” Who wants to know?” the mate asked him with a look of suspecious allure on his face.

“Sir, I always wanted to sail on a ship like yours, can I come see your ship?”

“Boy, keep in tow with me, don’t get loss and what ever you do keep that mangie mut off of my heels.”

Darius, ran behind him down to the docks with a look of excitement on his face, Bucks trailed behind not to step on the mates heels.

They reached the pier, and Darius eyes grew larger as he actually look up at the ship that was as tall as a high rise building.

“Hurry boy!!”....
