Plot
When Magbane was a pirate sailing in the Caribbean his ship, the Black Falcon, would often anchor at a secret island to stash treasure. During a routine stop Captain Barnaby Dwale found a large cask of strange liquor floating in the water. The cask was hauled to shore and was found to be covered in sea-flowers unknown to the crew. Cutting away the aquatic foliage revealed an earthen cask with a wax seal hardened with age. The captain quickly proclaimed the cask was from Atlantis and hurried to open it. Unable to pierce the seal with his cutlass Captain Dwale grabbed a rock and smashed an opening. After tasting the wine he declared a feast and brought all his men, save three for watch, to the shore for a celebration. Magbane, a puritan, decided to sit out on the drinking instead enjoying roasted tortoise. As the night wore on the men drinking started to act strange. Instead of being rowdy and lewd they were instead thoughtful and quite. Then one by one each member of the crew slowly started to leave the feast and sit on the beach staring into the sunset. This continued into the night when slowly one by one all the men started to stand and stare into the ocean. Eventually the crew spoke in a unintelligible gargle slowly getting louder some even pointing to the sea. At this point Magbane tried to leave the beach but he was restrained by his drunken crewmates and forced to drink the wine. This threw him into a delirium where the moon and ocean disappeared. In its place was a giant marble city where the ocean once was beckoning for him with music and lights. There was even a marble pathway from the feet of his Captain down into a portal in the marble structure. Slowly and without talking his whole crew went down the path single file. as this happed Magbane started to regain his soberness. He watched in horror as his shipmates walked into the ocean and disappeared.
