A Corvin Series Christmas (Christmas Contest 2013)

The Sea Flower
You know how Christmas is suppose to be the time to spread joy and cheer to everyone, well that's now what I'm feeling right now. Right now I'm seating in the Hudson river, well a bubble inside the Hudson. Instead of going to the store and getting trampled by people who decided to do some last minute shopping or risk getting attacked by a monster, I decided to look for a gift my way. The gift is for my girlfriend, Emiley, she likes nature, it's her thing. Her mother is Cybele, Greek goddess of Nature. I was doing some research with my friend Claudia and we found something called the Thálassa Louloúdi or the Sea Flower. It's a flower that supposedly only grows once ever 150 years in the deepest parts of the ocean. It's suppose to bring good fortune and all, but I heard it's suppose to very very beautiful. I asked some naiads about it and they said it's currently in possession of some dude named Nautae, a pirate captain who was cursed by Neptune. They told me his ship would be here soon but it's been nearly two hours.

"Jeez, what's taking so long", I said to myself. I nearly fell asleep before I felt a change in the water. I could feel something moving, moving fast. I shot myself up to see what was out there and to my amazement, it was Nautae's ship. Well I think it is, well it has to be, it's the only pirate ship out here. The ship was black, as if it's been burned. The sails flapping and rustling, and the flag had a trident on it. Underneath the trident it read, "Mors Neptuni", I have no clue what that means. "It's about time", I dove back under water and propelled myself towards the ship and when I reached it, I shot up into the air and landed on the deck. The ship smelled terrible, it smelled liked Body odor, salt, brine, rotten mean/fish, seaweed, bad breath, and sour puke. I began to hear footsteps so I hid behind barrels that smelled like dead fish.
