The wood used to make the dock is of highest quality, commissioned from trees that stand towering in the local forests. Despite time having passed it has been taken care of to the point where even a hint of warping from the water beneath will have a plank torn and replaced within a night.
Dock, Lake
seagull
pelican
I am the pelican that lives at the docks of the kingdom. I fly between the ships. I have a nest atop.
I often wonder that too. I occasionally fly between them, watching the sailors fix the docks. It sounds like they must go on great adventures. I can only imagine how hard working those men are! Just look how fast they fix our dock for us! I know, and with such fine wood too. Do you think they'll eventually cut all the trees down? As time does its ware and tare on the dock, I am afraid so. What a shame, it is a beautiful dock but it means more and more difficult finding a place to live for birds like us. They take such good care of the dock here, that I suppose it will be some time before all the birds do lose there homes. Very true, very true. Say, I don't suppose you're up for a bit of adventure, are you? What do you have in mind? Well, I notice they're loading some big empty barrels onto the ship nearby. What say you and I try to sneak into one of them and see where this voyage takes us? What a grand idea! I don't know why I never though of that! You go first heh? Sure thing, I'll just wait for the right moment. Do you think they'd notice me if I snuck onto one of the barrels they already loaded into the stern of the ship? It would be easier for us to do so, and less likely for them to try and shoe us off!
