Lost and found

January 1077:

At last, I found it. It took me months of dedicated search. Days and days I spent in my ship drifting through this blackness with only a small rhyme from days of old to guide me. But I persevered and came out triumphant. The moment I saw its glow in the windows of the port bow, I knew I had found a bewildering treasure, a true miracle...

I carefully planned a landing. No need of getting into uncontrolled hassles with primitive local tribes now the treasure of treasures is within my reach.

Once landed I got out my craft, I walked about for a bit. I took a handful of soil and crumbled it with my fingers. I felt the warmth of the old sun on my aging skin. I saw the strange colors and exotic vegetation. I smelt the strange but rich odors of an old world. Indeed a world filled with mysteries and legends...

Now I have to devise a cunning plan to capture one of the creature mentioned in the Nash's journals and pinch this awesome and miraculous secret that keeps them alive...
