#### **Final Memories**

The crew is in a rush. They’re trying to hide you and ready themselves to retaliate against the surprise attack that has just happened. A ship has come out of nowhere and fired upon them with unimaginable devastation and fire power, scuttling the ship by ripping through the masts with a powerful chain shot.

In the chaos, the goliath, Baby, tries to find a safe place for you to hide, but nowhere is safe. The ship takes another round of cannon fire, more powerful than any you have experienced before, that shreds the upper deck and sails, sending them crashing to the deck. The young golden dragon, Lakoda, the ship’s mascot is struggling to get into the air, and with a blast from the eldritch canon, the ropes and sails are incinerated, freeing the dragon and allowing her to escape.

Your captain, Harriet, yells at you to hide as the other ship rams you, and you an overwhelmed by a strange and screaming music coming from a strange box carried by a small blue Kobold. The crew is stunned, unable to move and so they are easily overwhelmed by the enemy. A wizard alters gravity and the crew are easily levitated up onto the enemy ship, where another wizard – more elegantly dressed in a strange pinstriped outfit - begins to write things down as he passes on by the captive crew. Each time he passes a crew member, muttering to himself, you see their eyes go blank and empty and a look of confusion come across their faces as if they can’t remember how they got there.

Its captain strides out onto deck as your body is levitated up onto the enemy ship. The music stops playing and you are no longer incapacitated, however you are stunned to see a familiar face scowling at you. White hair that fades to black and becomes adorned with stars, tanned skin, black eyes with a star for a pupil, and face marked by glowing blue markings, you feel a strange pull being near him, and terror as you know what he wants to do. The ship all around you is lined with strange golden resin, glowing from the light of a gigantic tear in the sea and sky which is beginning to draw your old ship in. The captain glares down at you and orders two of his men, a Shadar’kai and an Aasimar to tie you up as securely as possible, with whatever it takes to keep you from escaping, but the young golden dragon, Lakoda, returns, spewing fire upon the deck, melting the strange golden resin.

Determined not to be taken with the rest of the crew, you escape your captors stealing the golden pistol from the Aasimar, and leap back onto the ship just as they are cutting it free and releasing it into a gigantic tear in the sea and the sky. You make it, and as the enemy pirates begin to try and shoot, their captain commands them to stop, only asking for the pinstriped wizard to do something.

When they don’t listen to his orders, the captain swiftly kills them and then begins yelling at you.

You don’t listen and with one final middle finger, you put the gun to your head and shoot, just as the ship falls into the gigantic tear.

## **Dream**

A sky full of stars, a beautiful blanket of deep inky black. The wind strokes your hair gently, you feel calm. Breathing deeply, you smell something sweet like strawberries. A tiny boat floats on the water, illuminated by a single lantern. You squint to see who is rowing it towards you. You see white hair, tipped black and starry. As the person stands, huge teeth of a gigantic monstrous and glowing fish close around you both. You turn around to see an escape route from the teeth that have swallowed you only to find that you are the fish, and you are swimming towards an amber flower glowing against the stars. As you reach the water’s edge, something rips through you, splitting the world in two as demons claw their way out of the shredded and punctured sky. You look down at your hands, finding yourself dissolving into dust as the person behinds you absorbs everything that once made you you
