I'm not sure if I'm lucky or cursed. This cavern was filled with treasure!
After my last entry when I landed here, I noticed that fruit and all types of fish would arrive on shore where I was when I awoke first.
It happens too regularly. I will admit It feels like someone is watching me at times, maybe even bringing me food... but that's crazy talk. If not for the light in the cavern with the crystal and all, I would have never spotted firewood to cook the fish. And with the extra light from the fire, I found a stream going down the rocks on the opposite side of the cavern that was fresh and good to drink.
The only thing that this cavern seemed to lack was the sun a company it would appear.
But just the other day I discovered something that made my pirate heart skip.
I had discovered around the corner a gold doubloon, accompanied with a brilliant green emerald, one that I could not believe was real. Picking them up, I examined them carefully and after a few moments determined that they were indeed real.
To add to these jewels, i found hidden in between some rocks even more jewels! Worth more than the duke's jeweled blade! But before I could line my pockets, I heard a large splash as if some fell into the ocean water. I turned just in time to catch the sight of a pearly white tail enter the water and immediately dropped the loot in my hands, rushing toward the water then thinking better of it.
There were creatures in the Sea that men have yet to see, and some that have been. This could be some monster sent from Hell to devour me as I sleep! Or a siren, lulling me to the water to die. Or something else entirely?
I paced around in fear, wondering my fate in this deathly cavern. Eventually, I calmed down and sat next to the fresh water and began writing again.
I pray I live through this...
I'm starting to miss the surface.
