Tell me, are you ready to revisit your time in the Tale; Rime of the Ancient Mariner?

You are a young sailor, who has just accepted a job aboard a ship, seeking passage through the ice in the north.

The ship has been at sea now for weeks continuing North, as the weather begins to draw ice and fog, with a cold that feels as though it will snap they bvery bones within in you.

You hear a shot ring out over the water....

Quickly you raise to the main deck to see what is happening, and that's when you see a few sailor(the ancient mariner) standing proudly on deck, crossbow in hand, holding by it's feet a dead Albatross...

You are shocked as this bird is supposed to be a sign of good fortune...

In that moment you cannot help but feel as though the fortunes of the ship and it's crew have been.. forever changed....
