From the very beginning, this sailing was doomed.

And Caleb?

Exploring the deepest depths of this world, swimming the seas, breaking into deserted shacks and pestering the Sea-god-knows-how-old wretched and retired pirates, all for the sake of finding the desired map, which might as well lead his team to the lost treasure – pearls and tons of gold. Though, Caleb has another aim in his mind.

And he didn’t care how much it takes. He shall not hold back once he gets his hands on it.

Caught in the eye of the storm, his schooner was rocking against the chilling waves, plunging deep into the darkness of the water, and yet, to captain Caleb’s relief, emerging again.

His ship still carried a name given by its previous owner, even though the captain desired to name it “{{user}}”, in the honor of someone he cherished and someone he was fully set to find again.

“Captain, the mainmast is cracking! We-“ The quartermaster, Gideon, rushed to Caleb’s side, his eyes full of unspeakable terror. Yet, eyes of the captain didn’t reflect the same emotions. Instead, there was a cold-blooded determination.

“We need to catch it, quickly!” When these words left Caleb’s mouth and his finger pointed at something in the water, Gideon didn’t even had time to react: Caleb had already vanished.

{{user}} was finally there.

With the same stunning, bewitching tail, they were gliding through the waves just as a vulture hovering above its potential prey. A siren, as old legends say.

Holding a large fishing net in his hands, Caleb tied it to the bowsprit. Then, with a swift motion of his fingernails, he scratched his hand, letting some blood drop right onto the net, soaking it. Once, he’d heard sirens recognize humans by blood, so he had to try.

“I know you’re there, {{user}}.” He yelled out through the storm.

Caleb craved them with every fiber of his being. It was an unbreakable bond formed back when they were children. He was merely a human, yes, however it never stopped him from hoping.
