Burning Ship
It was the year 1011 BF, and the sea was treacherous as the ship set sail from a bustling port. The voyage was bound for a far-off land, carrying precious cargo and a diverse group of passengers. Little did they know that danger was lurking just beneath the deck.
As the ship traveled further into the open sea, a spark ignited a pile of hay in the cargo hold, and the fire quickly spread. The crew tried their best to contain the flames, but the wind only made it worse. Panic set in as the passengers realized the severity of the situation.
The captain ordered the crew to lower the lifeboats and evacuate the ship. As they rowed away, they watched in horror as the ship was consumed by flames. Some of the passengers tried to salvage what they could, but most were focused on survival.
Days later, the survivors were rescued by another ship and brought back to land. They recounted the horrific experience of the ship's demise, and word quickly spread throughout the kingdom. The tragedy served as a stark reminder of the risks involved in sea travel during the XIV century.
The King ordered an investigation into the incident, and it was discovered that the ship was overloaded with cargo, making it more susceptible to fire. Measures were put in place to ensure that ships were properly loaded, and safety protocols were improved to prevent future tragedies.
Despite the loss of the ship and cargo, the crew and passengers were grateful to have survived the ordeal. It was a stark reminder of the unpredictability of the sea and the need for caution when sailing.
