The rescue - Town - my dream!

in #drawing6 years ago

From the tailor, I returned home late. In the dark, I managed to turn on the wrong street, and for a while I walked in circles. These old quarters are a real labyrinth, where there is no light and the narrowness of narrow streets can be felt by the spinal cord. It seems that after each step, this street becomes even narrower.

When I went to bed, I could not sleep for a long time. I remembered all the impressions I received in this city. I do not remember how I fell asleep.

At first I heard the piercing scream of a seagull. Strange, where is the seagull. Blue water and a seagull? We sailed for two weeks without sails and steering. The rudder was broken when we hit a pitfall during a storm, and a huge wave left us without sails and without a mast.

We had enough water and provisions for eight days. Went on the sixth day when there was no provisions and fresh water left on the ship.

Through thirst and an agonizing sleep, I heard a loud cry. I did not immediately understand what had happened. My first reaction was to grab the sword.

The years I spent in the crusade taught me that the sword is the friend with whom you can never part.

Then, I heard my name.

Willy! William! We are saved! God has mercy on us! Wake up, buddy! Solid ground!

I tried to open my eyes. It seemed to me that my eyes were dry and looked like a dried fish bubble. Eyelids inflamed and stuck together. With great difficulty, I opened my eyes.

Dark spots and rainbow stains ran before my eyes. I tried to focus my eyesight.

The first thing I saw was the radiant face of my comrade Sebastian. It was hard to tell by his face whether it was joy or aggression, but I knew my friend. Usually, for someone who saw this person aggressive, this sight was the last in his life. And I'm still alive, so this is Sebastian's joy.

He clutched in his hand, near the heart, a medallion, which depicted his family and children. This is the most expensive thing he has.

We are near the shore, my friend! said Sebastian and pointed towards the coast, where the pines rose and the mountains rose and grew green.

We are not in Africa, it is good.

I tried to look at the situation around.
A broken mast is a testimony of God's mercy to us. Our ship is full of gold and precious stones, but the most valuable thing on this ship is water and grain, especially the last drops.

I lay on the bags with golden coins, but, I could, in the case of our death, never use them.
To be rich and die of thirst and hunger, this is the most ridiculous death.
Thank God everything is over. No, everything good is just beginning!

I could not move. The neck was like a stone. Out of the corner of my eye, I tried to see what was going on around me.
Our weakened comrades, were near. They suffered the most during the storm. But, someone has already dived into the water and swam to the shore.

Those who more easily endured this voyage have already risen to their feet and raised the battle flag.

The tailor told me the truth!

Stop!

What tailor? Where I am? Who are these people? Where is the dock? Where is the lighthouse? Where is the helicopter? Where is my family? Who am I?

I wanted to scream! But, my throat, dry from thirst, and cracked sun and lips from salt, did not give me the opportunity to make even the quietest sound.

What I saw before my eyes and yesterday’s memories from the tailor’s workshop began to spiral into my eyes.

My heart began to jump out of my chest.

I made the last effort to rise from these bags full of gold and I am sitting on our bed, my wife is sleeping peacefully next to me. The moon, like a huge billiard ball, looked out the window of our bedroom.

I looked at my watch. Three hours and thirty minutes. Strange. Three and a half. It took the Knights three and a half years to return to this lagoon with their families. Coincidence I thought. I lay down and fell asleep.

This is a continuation of my story in pictures. As in any story, there is a beginning and there is an end. This is not even the middle, but to understand what was the beginning of this story, I suggest you follow these links. These are the previous plots of my fictional journey.

Town - my dream!
Fish day on the pier - Town - my dream!
Photo for memory - Town - my dream!
Reconnaissance - Town - my dream!
Eye of a needle - Town - my dream!

So the story is replenished with one more illustration.

This is my 37th day on Steemit. These were very fruitful days. I did not know what my blog would be about. One day, I decided to try painting, that's what came out of it.

As usual, I draw a simple ballpoint pen with blue paste on an A5-sized piece of paper. I don’t make sketches and I don’t know that I’m going to draw until the last moment until the ball of the pen touches the paper.

With stories to these drawings, everything happens the same way. It turns out a new character and the story gets its continuation. Until I finish the drawing, I won’t know how the story will end.

Thanks for this very interesting story and sketches. Excellent work, @roninrelax!

Thank you very much @trincowski ! I'm glad you liked the story and the picture!

Wow! I’ve never seen something like that(before visiting your blog for the first time) It looks really good! Amazing job! I didn't read everything(sorry) but I’m wondering how much time did it take you to make these?

Thank you very much @danielapetk ! I'm glad you liked the story and the picture! Yesterday, after lunch, I began to draw, in the evening everything was ready. I occasionally dealt with other issues)) Obino, in one or two days I finish drawing if the idea does not leave me))

Your artwork and your writing are amazing @roninrelax and your passion shines through them. Thank you for sharing with us your amazing work. Happy 37th day on Steemit! :)

Thank you so much @marblely ! I am glad that you liked my work!

Amazing and vivid ! A very dramatic picture and story !!

Thank you very much !

This is really amazing and unique, and the fact that you are a relative new steemian makes it even more fantastic!

By the way I'm currently tasked with searching steemit for active content creators as me and couple more users are building a community of authors. If you'd like to know more you can join us on discord

Thank you so much @modern-trojan ! I am glad that you liked my work! I will think about your offer.

You're welcome! I just wanted to tell you that for a great author like you, the door of our community are wide open whenever you decide to come and say hi.

The fact is that I have big doubts about my success)) I just recently started drawing, less than a month, and I started writing stories even later. I want to understand for myself that I can draw everything I think about and vice versa)) Some moments are still very difficult for me.

Don't worry about that, I also had the same doubts when I started out. Believe it or not I got 50$ for the first story I wrote in the morning I had a hangover... It was because somebody recommended me to curie..

Now I am not a writer or something like that, in fact I'm a computer science student who just exploits his imagination, and here it is most important to find people who like that.

You still have everything ahead, my friend! I will soon be 46. But, I am happy like a child))

Oh come on, you do too! Age doesn't matter because we are all children, just some of us forget that.

Oh and by the way there is no need to upvote comments if your upvote is lower than 0.02$ as it just drains VP without giving rewards to anyone..
