Peter asked one of his servant to check the compass if it were at the right proportion and he rightly checked and confirm the compass, being on the right place and he said, "the compass is good to go" he then check the location which they are but they were still in the Atlantic ocean, not yet close to Dubai, Peter knew that, it might be his time to join his ancestors then he asked his second servant to take control of the ship, he began to pray to the god's that, "if this is his time to join his ancestors so be it, but he feared for the life of his two servants and he pray to the god's to spare their life, since they were still young men.

It happens that, Peter loves his two servant just as he loves his sons, he always teach them morales in the business and also the good ethics of a businessman, The Storms continue for a longer time, but getting to 4:00Am in the morning, it began to subdue Peter knew it was not yet his time, his ancestors has listened to his prayers and they had spared his life, he landed on Dubai safely, purchase all the Good's he needed to buy and set his sail back home, and he did arrived safely.

Peter is a very likeable person. It's great when an author creates a character we care about. That holds our attention. As Peter prays for his servants, we become his allies. Truly, he is a good man. We are thankful when he makes it safely to shore.

The arc is strong here and so is use of the prompt. Thank you for supporting other members of the community with your comments.
