Sweet music
Prospero was asleep. We made our move. But as we were sneaking to his castle, some sweet music played. I said to my companions "be not aferd" as I have heard sounds like this before. Drawn to the music, we headed to the castle. I was reminded of the times when I was asleep, dreaming of the heavens opening and gifts would drop onto me. Then I awoke. The sounds of a thousand twangling instruments would put me to sleep every night. But this music seemed different somehow, more... enchanting we couldn't seem to control ourselves. I went for the liquor in an attempt to break my mind and release the hold the music had on me but, as I reached for it, I jerked sideways and dropped it! Then I realised what had happened. Prospero must have planned it! He has sent a spirit to bring us to him! I struggled in my mind but could not escape. It dropped us here. We are too weak to move so all we can do is wait...

The Plot
I have finally decided to take revenge on the man who got shipwreck on MY island and takes it and makes me his slave! With Stephano and Trinculo with me, it will be even easier! It's all planned out: first we take his books while he's asleep, then we kill him using whatever means necessary, but we'll have to do it right; he could call his soldiers as soon as he can! Now is the time to claim my island back! He has taken it from me! I show him around, help him to survive and treated him like a brother... then he enslaved me! Betrayer! I help him get back onto his feet for what? Him to knock me down! But now, I will stand up as I've found his weakness! His magic is so powerful that what my mum showed me is nothing compared to it, but he can only control the spirits that give him the power with his books! They hate him so when we take the books he will have NO control. Now I need to share my plan with my "Gods".
Gods???
When collecting wood for my evil master, I noticed another storm brewing up. Not really paying attention, I carried on. I was working for about an hour when... Water. First a few drops, then a downpour. I continued, knowing that I could be whipped if I didn't move quick enough. But then I saw it. A spirit. It wasn't the first time, Prospero has sent spirits to torture me before. I hid. "With square of fabric over me, it might just see me as ground!" I thought. Darkness. I must have been asleep because the storm had ended when I looked out. But the spirit was there. I thought it was sent to torture me but after tasting his celestial liquor, I realised that it was not a spirit. There was also another man, who was called Trinculo. He spoke to my liquor bearing hero, he called him Stephano. Stephano gave me another sip and another. I began to feel overcome with a sense of joy. But I couldn't think straight. I started calling them gods and kissed their feet! The only thing I said which I wanted to say is: I will leave my master to follow you. Well, I've got to show some people around my island!

Ship Wreck

Wrecked ship. My island had a wrecked ship. This was the first eventful thing that has happened since my mum died! I looked around. It was obviously a storm, but not just a storm, a TEMPEST! The ship was smashed against a rock! I looked on board... there didn't appear to be any survivors. So I left. As I was nearing the exit, the ship creaked. I braved another step before I felt the ship slide. I ran as fast as I could to the hole from which I entered. The entire ship slided from the rock. My foot slipped and I fell down to the base of the ship. Water. The ship was filling up with water from the hole! I had to move fast! I struggled against the torrent and kicked out, to my surprise I was moving! I kicked again and again and started with my hands I felt proud! The water went over my head. My instinct was not to breathe. I kicked out again and got through the hole. I began to feel faint. "One more push!" I thought as darkness closed over my eyes. "Just one more push!" Darkness. My head broke the surface of the water, I was alive!
