Today I 🧔♂️ handed the pen ✍🏻 back to our faithful comrade 👨🏻, who has been reunited with his lost family member 👩👦.
📝 Stan's Notes 👨🏻
Only the stars 💫 know how much longer we have to sail ⛵️. We lowered the sails and decided to take a break 😮💨. The guys went down to the hold to have some of Win's cooking 🧆 Meanwhile I was sitting on the deck without an appetite, in a strange mood 😒 looking into the dark waters 🌌…
Every now and then I'd see thickets of underwater bushes, then fanciful swamp fish 🐡. And at one point, I could have sworn I saw a mermaid out of the corner of my eye 👨🏻 🧜♀️. Although maybe it was just too much sunshine on my head 😵💫.
Are you sad? - I heard an unexpected but familiar voice 👵.
Fucking hell! 😰 - I shuddered with fright.
Grandma, are you kidding me? You're here for a reason, aren't you? 🤨
I think I 👨🏻 changed my face at this point, but Etra 🙎♀️ reassured me slightly," Hold on tight, you have 30 seconds 🕜. I'll get Rogvold 🧔♂️ in the meantime.
Grabbing the mast, I 👨🏻 started the countdown 🕜: thirty, twenty-nine... Three, two one... A thump, followed by another one. The wind 💨 picked up, the sky was covered with clouds.
Rogvold ran out onto the deck, barely on his feet, 🧔♂️. Etra 👻 appeared behind him, but disappeared after a few seconds.
Stan! She said to get the spyglass 🔭! - I shouted, trying to be louder than the storm 🌊.
I 👨🏻 grabbed the rope and ran to him to tie it off for safety. Keith 🤵🏻 who was at the helm at the time was trying his best to hold the ship on course 🌊 ⛵️.
I see it! I see the anomaly. It's a portal 🌀. Keith 🤵🏻, left rudder, now! - commanded our captain 🧔♂️.
Thanks to the captain 🧔♂️ with a spyglass 🔭 to help us see what is hidden from our eyes and the quick reaction of the helmsman 🤵🏻, we managed to get away from the portal 🌀 and continue our way to the cherished church ⛪️.
There is no telling what lies behind the closed door 🚪 and generally what awaits us next 🤔. But nevertheless we are a great team 💪 and ready to face any difficulties on our way 😼.
Going down 👇🏻 to the guys and seeing the scattered food 🍗, answering the silent question of the team, we said in chorus
It's OK 👌🏻. We're safe ✋🏻. For now 😒.
