There were no lies to the legends and stories Amir had been hearing about the Vercano islands, he had just entered their vicinity and the sun was already veiled by the clouds." Slow down.. There are giant waves incoming." shouted the captain through the speaker, with some of the sailers running around with a rope tied to their back, managing the ship. Though for most that remained on the deck, the waves and the storm were not much of an issue.
It wasn't hard for them to stay on the ship with their feet alone. With Amir being one of them, he ignored the orders of the captain, considering none were for him, while watching ahead, hoping to see a silhouette of land.
