Adventure Ships Novels & Stories

There were moon sized arks, on which most of the civilian population lived, worked, and eventually died; supply ships, which carried the raw material required to sustain the Armani; and three types of warships, including battle ships, destroyers, and fighters. The fleet had been traveling through space for more than a millennium and would continue forever. Or would it? The Facers, so named because of their desire to put an end to the journey and "face" the Shem, had become even more powerful of late, raising the possibility that things might change. Not that the Runners, who had ruled for so long, could be ignored.

The sight of the massive golden-sailed warships sends a wave of cold dread through our exhausted warriors on the blood-stained beach. Rising like towering titans against the darkening horizon, the magnificent vessels bear the unmistakable heraldry of the southern courts, their polished bronze hulls catching the dim, stormy light and gleaming with an intimidating, imperial wealth that far outclasses Mercer's industrial armada.

The fiber had an amazing tensile strength that could pull even a large ship. Speaking of which, theirs was a cargo vessel called a longship. It had one mast with a square sail, presently furled, and was mainly used for transporting seafood, whale oil and various contraptions to the south and bringing back rubber, rope, and luscious tropical fruits to the north. This time, Aki, Sasha and Temujin wouldn’t be bringing with them any products for trade, only provisions.

I shouted into the glare, I had spotted up to five tiny ships coming towards us with immense speed. They all had black flags on them, designed with human skull as a warning. “Pirates, oh silly human pirates messing around.” “Oh how very great,” Tasha muttered to herself, she threw her orange peels into the water. “Just as I was about to get comfortable and have a good nap.”

Little did nature know what we were about to enter. All of a sudden, the waves started to pick up and the wind grew in speed. Alarmed, we turned around and witnessed the greatest thing we’d ever seen. A cruise ship. Sailing towards us, Adrian waved and ushered us towards the docking station. With an infinite number of windows, a luxurious outside deck and at least fifty floors, I gaped in awe. Shaped like a shark, the majestic ship boasted an air of confidence and domination, seeming to already have owned the ocean and its tenants.

It was safe and its mission almost done. *****& It was in the moon of the eagle, in the third year of the reign of His splendid majesty, King Katthike, of the house of Buthwal-Renandi, when in the fog of the night, the moon was veiled, six by six ships, the pennants with the snake on the masts of the immortal empire, went on a journey. The sails like dark wings, the oars nimble like flapping fins, the ships glided secretly over the black waters of the border sea. Sixty by sixty men in their bellies, only with one fierce desire in their hearts: To conquer for their king.

"Did you see that? They shot at our plane." Another young soldier, his body trembling, said, "This is crazy! The competition hasn't even started yet, why are we being attacked in the middle of the journey?" Upon hearing the conversation, Niall turned to Elliot, who was silent, deep in thought. “It seems we’re not the only ones experiencing this. Everyone else is too.” Kharel adjusted the position of his backpack and said, “Enough! Let’s go. We still have a long way to go.” Apparently, there were twenty-six small ships, corresponding to the number of kingdoms participating in the competition. The ship with the words Kingdom of Ans De Lou was located in the middle.

Alex and Sawyer drag Logan, now groaning softly, through the trees and onto a beach that opens up to a lagoon, where three massive ships bob in the calm water. They have to be… very old or exquisitely crafted replicas of the kind of ships Aviva mentioned used to sail the seas during the golden age of the Firestone witches. Several stories tall and made completely out of wood, they gleam like gold in the sunlight, their massive sails pulled in and anchors dragging on the seafloor. Pirate ships. All three of them. I might actually be dead. That would make more sense than what I’m seeing.

It's the first time she met Joana, wife of Jonathan, as it was the first time she saw fleets so massive like that. Ships who were not just carrying goods to trade but the new world itself. Civilization was sailing towards Highlands and it's first footsteps echoed already on shore announcing its arriva But her amazement and awe to the arriving ships were not the same reaction she felt towards the Madrigal woman on por

The three-masted sailing ship in their hands can sail as far as the Principality of Wendel, but it is not safe because it is a merchant ship. There are fundamental differences between the design and structure of warships and merchant ships. The former are sturdy and can withstand minor collisions, while the latter have more space and can carry more cargo. The former emphasize maneuverability and mobility, while the latter can be controlled with a minimum crew. In other words, for ships with the same three masts, warships can sail much faster than merchant ships. That is why Christine hopes to find a warship, so that if they encounter danger at sea, they can escape with their speed.
