The Depths of Cursedell

Chapter 4

Walter's expression shifted, his brows furrowing slightly as he considered my proposition. "Sasha, this isn't just a walk in the park," he cautioned, his voice laced with concern. "It's risky, and we don't even know what we're getting ourselves into."

I nodded, acknowledging the seriousness of his words, but my determination remained unshaken.

"I understand the risks, Walter. But think about it – the chance to document something as intriguing as an uncharted island with hidden secrets. These are the stories that legends are made of."

Walter's hesitation was evident, but I could see a flicker of consideration in his eyes. "Sasha, this isn't like any photography project you've done before. It's unpredictable and potentially dangerous."

I met his gaze with unwavering resolve. "I know it won't be easy, but that's exactly why I want to do it.
This is an opportunity to challenge myself, to capture the raw essence of adventure. And having you by my side, with your journalistic instincts, could make this an even more compelling journey."

Walter's expression softened, his skepticism giving way to a hint of reluctant admiration. "You're a force of nature, you know that?" he remarked with a wry smile. "Alright, if you're willing to take the risk, then maybe we could make this work."

A surge of excitement rushed through me, a mixture of gratitude and anticipation. "Thank you, Walter. I promise I'll be careful, and together we can bring this incredible story to life."

As our determination to embark on this daring adventure grew, I couldn't help but voice my enthusiasm. "Well, for an adventure like this, a ship is a must," I said with a bright smile as we stepped out of the cafe.

Walter's brows furrowed, and he turned to me with a quizzical look. "Do you know anyone who owns a ship?" he asked, his skepticism evident.

I grinned at his question, unable to contain my excitement. "Walter, how can you forget? Our friend Jordan owns a ship!" I exclaimed, my voice brimming with eagerness. "He's the perfect person to help us out."

Walter's eyes widened in realization, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Oh, right! Jordan! I can't believe I didn't think of that."

With a sense of purpose, I reached out and took Walter's hand, a burst of energy propelling us forward. "Well, let's not waste any more time. Let's go see Jordan and pitch our plan to him."
