The Last Stand of the Lucayan
The Last Stand of the Lucayan
Part 1: The Gathering Storm
The tropical sun hung low over the turquoise waters of the Lucayan archipelago, casting shimmering rays upon the white sandy shores. The island of Guanahani, home to the peaceful Lucayan people, basked in the warmth of the day, but a tense mood clung to the air. Whispers of war, of imminent invasion, had spread from village to village. Far to the south, the fierce Carib warriors, feared for their brutality and their practice of cannibalism, were stirring, ready to sail northward in their swift canoes.
Among the Lucayan people, no one was more respected than the warrior named Haobam. Tall, strong, and brave, Haobam was a leader among his people, known for his wisdom and unmatched skill in battle. His body, tanned from years of exposure to the sun, bore the scars of past battles, each mark a testament to his bravery. Despite the peace-loving nature of his people, Haobam had trained tirelessly with his warriors, knowing that the threat of the Carib was ever-present.

Age is Just a State of Mind
Age is Just a State of Mind
The years may come, the years may go,
But time’s a river with gentle flow.
It carries moments, sweet and kind,
Yet age is just a state of mind.
Wrinkles may trace upon the skin,
But youth still dances deep within.
In every laugh, in dreams we find,
That age is just a state of mind.
The silver hair, the slowing pace,
Can’t dim the light within your grace.
For wisdom blooms where hearts are kind,
And age remains a state of mind.
With every dawn, we rise anew,
The world is fresh in every hue.
Adventure calls, no ties to bind,
When age is just a state of mind.
