Captain Bernard is just a normal man who just trades the spices and groundnuts nearby. Now once he has got an chance to go far away to some place to trade but…he is warned about the HORIZON SPIRIT. How could one just think of an horizon spirit? Horizon means a place where earth and sky meets and which is just an imagination and an illusion of mind…still no one knows whether the spirit really exists or it is just a work of some burglars….?
“Yeah, that’s true, she’s right.” The sound came from the back. captain looked back and saw Mr. Richardson standing there. “Oh! What a surprise Mr. Richardson, come and have a sit” said Captain Bernard who was surprised to see Mr. Richardson suddenly. Captain knew that Mr. Richardson was a great man who has one of the largest crew in Oxama and he has more experience and knowledge than him. But he could not believe Mr. Richardson’s wife only. “So, is it true what Neeya just said?” asked captain with a great surprise. Mr. Richardson started to narrate his incident and he said “Yesterday, when I was just returning back home from Burima, it was seven at evening and still I could just see some sunrays falling on water. When I just went near the Roomancer intersection, to my left, I could just see the sky and water meeting each other. We just waited and saw it closely when suddenly the fog started appearing and we could feel the snowy cold wind passing through us. But not only that, we also heard some noise.” “What noise?” asked captain with a great curiosity “The noise was strange. I did not recognize it but one of the crew member said that the noise sounded like “Hand over the flower….hand over the flower” like that it came for several times and we just went very fast…so it was a very deep intended experience of like. So please, don’t pass that Roomancer intersection after sunset. That is what I came for, to warn you. So please take care and Bon Voyage” said Mr. Richardson and he went away. Now Neeya got chance and she told captain “See! I told you but you never believe me, and now onwards do what I say.” Captain Bernard had no point to argue but he said ”Ok, you’re the boss, I will take care” saying that he went to sleep.
Next morning was a bright day with sun like a blossoming flower. Captain Bernard and his crew wanted the same day for their voyage. This was the time. Neeya had wetted eyes. Captain hugged her and said,” Don’t worry I’ll be safe.” Neeya could not utter a word as if she was about to cry. Captain Bernard finally went up to the deck and waving his hands he just performed his last goodbye. Now he was also bit confused.
The thoughts were capturing his mind and he was just thinking. Here, Neeya could just see the ship disappearing in the deep ocean.
