The waves crashed against the sandy beach of Crusty. Crusty was an island on the northside of ireland that rested quietly in the Celtic Sea. Crusty was quite known by the surrounding masses of land that held tribes of people. All of the different villages knew about crusty, from every angle you could see the big beautiful island and the lush forest that blanketed it. You could ask anyone about it and they’d all tell different stories of the island, each of the stories made their way down bloodlines from great, great grandparents to children and grandchildren. The stories all have their own twist on them that keep them from being exactly alike. But they all have one very important detail in common, crusty the island used to be host to one of …show more content…
