The City Harbor stretched wide before Leon.
Before the rising waves which rolled in endlessly, crashing against the docks with a dull force. The smell of salt mixed with fish and wet wood cling to the nostrils of those who visited for the first time.
Different sailors wearing different uniforms ran back and forth across the piers, shouting orders.
"Move it! Faster! Hey tight it more! Lose it now..!!"
"Secure the ropes! The ropes!"
"Cargo first, people! Heavy hoo!!"
Leon's gaze was drawn to a massive ship docked near the center of the harbor.
It was built entirely of thick dark wood, its hull painted a deep yellow, with metallic rims lined the edges of the deck, reinforcing it like armor. At its peak hung a flag with a mark of full sun crest.
Slowly, the ship began to move.
As the ropes were released and the vessel pushed away from the dock, cheers and shouts echoed from within the deck.
Leon watched everything in silence.
The scene felt so unreal to him.
