Two hours later...
"Captain...we found 2 pirates and a child and old man's duo. These two pirates were sitting in the woods with them..."
one of the dark pirates said...
"Bring them here..."
After some time four people were in front of the prince, a child an old man, and two pirates.
"P-please don't kill us...Both of us did nothing...we heard sounds in the sky so we ran into the forest to escape. we wanted to help them...."
"Y-yes..."
They told the truth to the prince who was sitting on a Throne...
Made of dead bodies...
At the base of the throne, there are pools of blood that give off a hellish glow, illuminating the surrounding...
The air around the throne is thick with the bloody smell...
Both of them were scared not seeing the prince but seeing the throne....
Prince knew it too...
'it seems that it was worth it'
He deliberately made this throne so that people would get scared and out of fear they would tell everything, he did not want to interrogate them for hours.
...
Seeing his frightened face, prince turned to the old man and said...
"you don't have to fear them...now tell me the truth."
The old man looked at the prince and said
"This man is telling the truth, although he was with those people, but he did not want to kill us, so for the last several days he was taking our people one by one to a safe place on the island, But today when you came, these young men got scared, so they were taking me and my grandson to save us, but on the way your people found us. "
"Ohh...so that's the story. good to hear that your tribe is safe..."
prince heaved a sigh of relief but when he was about to say something else, the old man interrupted....
"we haven't completely survived, most of our people are dead...only 40 percent od them are alive"
"...."
"i'm sorry i was late..."
Prince apologized...
after seeing this big man said...
"You don't need to apologize, if you didn't come, the rest of us might have been killed."
"Here take this..."
"This..."
"Yes, this is the same map for which they had come. A small gift from our tribe as a thank you for saving our lives."
The old man handed over the map to the prince...
"Thank you old man...."
"we should thank you our saviour...You have not only saved us but also avenged our slain members..."
'hehe... it's just a game of words, and they are thinking I was here for saving them...looks like there are some gains for being polite '

Prince and his commanders huddled together around a table in the dimly lit tavern, their eyes glued to the worn parchment map spread out before them....
"Okay, so here's what we know,"
Prince said, tapping his finger on the map.
"The treasure is located on an island in the middle of the ocean. But the catch is, we have to get past the kraken that guards it."
"The kraken?"
one of Prince's commander james exclaimed, his eyes widening in fear.
"You mean that giant sea monster that can swallow ships whole?"
"The very same,"
Prince confirmed, his expression serious. "According to the map, the kraken resides in a cavern on the island where the treasure is buried. We have to find a way to get past it if we want to claim the treasure as our own."
jack leaned in, his eyes scanning the map. "What else does it say? Are there any clues or hints?"
Prince nodded, pointing to a series of symbols on the map....
"These symbols indicate the location of traps and obstacles that we'll have to overcome. We'll need to be careful and watch our step if we want to make it to the treasure alive."
...
The group fell into a contemplative silence as they studied the map, each lost in thought as they tried to come up with a plan....
The promise of untold riches was a powerful motivator, but the prospect of facing the kraken and navigating the treacherous terrain of the island was daunting...
After a few moments, Prince spoke up again, his voice firm...
"We can do this. We've faced challenges before and come out on top. We just need to work together and stay focused."
His friends nodded in agreement, their resolve strengthened by Prince's words....
"But where is that island? I had heard that only happens in stories i mean the kraken."
kann asked...
"it's far away in the east...And I also thought that kraken is only in stories but the man who made this map also wrote that once he was going east then he encountered a sleeping kraken.
From then on he hid all his treasure there, he did all this while Kraken was sleeping, and now it's just awake, and It is also written here that the kraken may have left..."
Pointing everyone to some words written on the back of the map, Prince said...
...
"So what should we do? should i go there or forget it all..." jack asked...
listening this prince started laughing...
"Hahaha....we are pirates our love is hidden treasures...
Let's go home for now...and prepare for our next adventure..."
These words of Prince echoed in everyone's ears...
.
.

Two days later the Prince and his crew were back on the island....
The pirates set up houses in a few hours so that the tribesmen could live there, they also gave a lot of food and went back after saying goodbye to them....
