Sailor Boy and His Stuffed Panda Toy

There lived a young sailor boy,

He was lost in his own life, he has no plans, no sense of responsibilities and it seems like there wasn't any future in him.

He always kept dreaming of something that wouldn't happen, a miracle of his own world. Delusional.

One very fine day, after his 21st birthday, he found a little panda stuffed toy. Which he lay interest when he was small kid. He picked up the toy and continues to grow interest in. Until one day, he felt a deep strong attachment to it and wanted to keep it for his own. Little that he know, there is a magical gem in it that will save his life.

Soon after, he brought only the toy with him in on an adventure with his ship. Set sailed through the vast sea, knowing nothing what he could find, explore, and experience. 

That magical gem seemed to work its magic through the toy. The young lad didn't felt homesick, having the toy to actually kept him company throughout the voyage. He felt the warmth heartfelt coming from the stuffed animal as like he's being loved. He had conversation with it, slept with it, spent most of his time with it. He never felt once being bored with it, he was really genuinely happy that he found such companion. He then after, he has grown with it, he learnt about responsibilities, he had plans, and he learnt to love.

Days, months, years.. has passed. He is still on this ship, with that panda stuffed toy. Throughout the voyage, they endured a lot of obstacles, they went through heavy storms, high tides, rocky routes and the ship still floating. The magical gem works its wonder from time to time, salvaging all the lost hopes and save the ship from sinking, saving the boy in the process.

One very fine morning, the young lad had gone mad over some little thing, letting his anger get the best of him. He lashed out his anger on the stuffed toy, throwing it around, shouted at it, and abusing it. His actions damaged the toy and led the magical gem in it cracked. He then regretted his actions and nothing he can do to restore the toy to the way it was.

After two months later, the gem works its magic again, warning him through voice whispers that to change his route he's taking. He did not trust it, and soon after, his ship smashed to a rock and left a big hole to the ship. The ship was sinking, the cracked gem reacted but not quick enough as it could only save half the ship. The water had already rise up the ship, floated the stuffed panda toy along with it. He had lost his companion, his most valuable thing during then.

He is trying his very best to search for the toy, believing one day he would find it back. Knowing that he what he shared with it after all those years, there is a special bond that could help him obtain it back one day.

He regretted everyday that he didn't give enough trust which led to where he is now.

He tend to change for the better, and hope one day when he found the stuffed toy again, they could share something eternal. The cracked gem will heal someday, and it might or might not want to go back to the searching sailor. And that,.. is another story.

The magical gem in the story was powered by true love. When there is true love, it will work its magic.

I might not be a great story teller, but this is what I can come up with with the situation I am in now.

I'm sorry if the story wasn't up to your standards.

I believe in true love I had with someone special whom I have recently lost.

I believe.
