The sea are calm, the storm has passed, the good Queen has sailed for Toudor at last. "To toudor, to toudor," she called to her crew, and her ship sailed away towards a full moon. I here words echo deep in my mind, Knowing that now is the time. With tears in my eye's I sail for her lands, charged with the ruling of her great Coven. With my hands sitting steady on The Tyler Scott's great wheel, I call for my Crew to raise up her sail. Slowly she lurches and heaves to port side, as we set Sail under the full moon nite. In no time it seems a shout from above, "Land ho there Captain," Swallows me up. I look through my glass and see the cove up ahead, the land of the Coven is right there again, but this time I know from the pain in my heart. My friend wont be there when from this ship, I depart. The Sound is just ahead, as the Tyler scott rides the swells, "Haul in the Jib sheet and stow the Top sails." My crew answers the call, but even they seems to know, that the Prince they once sail with is already gone. We find the Calm waters just behind the sound, I know I have to find the King inside me as the Dingy's go down. So Proudly I stand with my feet on the prow, my eyes are red from the tears that have fell. I miss my friend dearly, though one day she may return. The prince inside me is gone, and this time as a King I return.
