As Icarus's and Odysseus's ships sailed side by side through the storm lightning barely missing their ships as they sailed on towards their destination. Suddenly two other ships appeared, "they're heading straight for us" said Odysseus , "ok men battle formation" said Icarus as they steered the ship around, Odysseus followed his lead and also turned around, the crew on board the other ships roared as they rowed harder ready to attack. Odysseus's ship picked up speed as his crew rowed faster and the sail catching the wind , "hold on tight men , ramming speed" , Odysseus's ship rammed into one of the enemy ships piercing straight through it's hull , he watched as the enemy ship started to sink and the men being pulled under the waves and into the abyss. Meanwhile Icarus's ship and crew sailed towards the remaining enemy ship , preparing to ram them as Odysseus had done, suddenly a whirlpool formed, Icarus's ship and the enemy ship were caught on the edges of the whirlpool sailing round and round in circles. The enemy ship started slipping losing control and we're pulled down into the whirlpool, their ship snapped in half as it was being pulled under the waves taking the crew with it. "Come on men row harder, give me all your strength" Icarus's crew rowed harder and suddenly a gust of wind blew into the sail pushing the ship forward, the crew rowed harder as Icarus held on tight. After a few minutes they had just barely escaped from the whirlpool and started rowing towards Odysseus's ship , "ha good show , I knew you could escape the whirlpool" said Odysseus as the crewmen cheered , Icarus and Odysseus sailed on towards their destination and after a few hours they could see Atlantis to the north and another small just ahead of them to the east. They both sailed towards the small island, as they arrived they set up camp and ate some food as they rested and planned what to do next....to be continued
