Wattpad.com.mx The New Captain The days turned into weeks. The weeks turned into months. The months turned into years. Elara learned the ship. Its corridors. Its rooms. Its secrets.

The Goodbye The ship reached the harbor at dawn. Port Morning was small and quiet, its buildings bathed in amber light, its docks empty. The passengers disembarked, one by one, their feet touching solid ground for the first time in years. Elara watched from the bow. Her parents stood at the gangplank. “Are you sure?” … Read more
The Last Voyage The passengers gathered on the deck. Thousands of them. Tens of thousands. They had been trapped for years, decades, centuries. Now they were free. They wept. They laughed. They embraced. Elara watched from the bow, her hands on the railing, her eyes on the horizon. The first captain stood beside her. “What … Read more
The Light The light was everywhere. Not the cold light of the ship’s lanterns. Not the warm light of the sun. A different light. Soft and golden, like the first light of dawn after a long night. Elara floated in it, weightless, timeless, endless. She could feel the heart of the ship pulsing around her, … Read more

The Morning Star was larger than she had imagined — larger than any ship had a right to be. Its halls stretched into infinity, its rooms multiplied as she walked, its secrets deepened as she searched. She found a staircase … Read more
The Weight of Choice Elara walked the corridors of the Morning Star. The doors stretched on either side, thousands of them, their surfaces carved with names. She touched them as she passed — Elena Vance. Marcus Thorne. Sarah Whitmore. Thomas Grey. — feeling the cold wood beneath her fingers. She stopped at a door with a name she … Read more
The Captain’s Bargain Elara stood in her mother’s room, the words echoing in her mind. You become the captain. She looked at the door. At the captain. At the darkness beyond. “I don’t want to be captain. I want to go home.” Her mother’s silver eyes were wet. “Home is gone, Elara. Port Morning is … Read more
The Mother She Never Knew The captain led Elara to another door. The name on it was familiar. Eleanor Vance.
