Brief Summary: The Adventures Of Homer's Odyssey
The Henri Rose heaved, mighty waves crashing on the decks. The lantern fluttered and clicked. Sailors shouted to each other as they tightened the sails, checking the bindings. Some held to the sails while others tried to sit down in the inner decks of the ship. Clouds enveloped the sky.
Hawkins spun the helm, turning the ship sideways. Thunder wrecked the mighty waves, emitting flashes of lightning, clear and crystal white, punching through the dark skies. Wave after wave rocked the ship, each larger than the last. After setting from Hambend, his contract to slay the fearsome beast, the Alakarai was failing miserably. The clever bastard had led them straight into the storm of madness.
It was said that sailors grew scared of entering it. Some

Those fools had chased him for endless weeks, in the dogged belief that was some lost King who had destroyed their order by betraying them. And now they hadn’t given their chase. They were fools if they managed to enter into the storm of madness. Hawkins wished nothing more than to get rid of these fools. Either that or the storm would sink them. Out of nowhere, a blue light shone in the distance, a storm of madness. Hawkins couldn’t believe his misfortune. They’d arrived where most ships vanished and never appeared again. Now huge ships, some ghost ships and a Redsword ship was making their way to him. Sudden cracks appearing in the sky.
Airships from all nations battled each other out in titanic struggles. Fire and smoke appeared from the very top of airships. Hawkins couldn’t believe what was going on around here. It was a place of madness. A huge man of war surfaced from the watery depths, ghastly beyond belief. It was beyond belief. Hawkins turned to Kasa, who shrugged. ‘’No wonder they call this part the storm of fools, Captain.’’
‘’How do we get out of here Kasa? It’s not a good place,’’ Hawkins said.
Hawkins saw Kasa’s nodding as a confirmation that only he had the slightest of ideas of escaping the bloody storm of madness. Ghost ships, Man of Wars, airships battling it out, it was a recipe for

Nine days we “drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds.” (p. 1048) On the tenth day, we “came to the coastline”.…

    A storm brews above. People escape the beach, quickly grabbing their possessions as rain spits down on them. Music from cafes and fare rides come to a halt as their customers quickly disappear and the happy sounds of laughter echo around the empty beach. A gloomy shadow descends over the sea. Feeble light from the few surviving streetlights and lanterns appear to dim as the dark clouds move across the sky like a creeping panther. Birds silence their song and flee to safer places. Sandcastles with small motes, which surrounded them, are now filled with seawater. Any last remaining footsteps disappear and are quickly buried beneath the sand. The wind teases the scattered rubbish… picking it up then quickly releasing it again. People shelter in cars waiting for the storm to pass…their windscreen wipers furiously fighting against the increasingly powerful rain. Waves rage upon the sand, sending sand back and forth as they go. They crash against the sea wall, shooting upwards and spraying the abandoned cafes and shops. Yachts begin to rock with the waves; they are like a gymnast balancing on a beam about to fall any second. The pier fights against the drowning waves as they attempt to bring it under the surface. Trees surrender at the battering wind, forcing leaves and branches to be torn off their trunks. A bird-usually so in control of its own destiny-fights the beast as it toys with it playfully.…
