Hello Asi, finally got time to read this. It has the right tone for the kind of sweeping prologue or prelude that you're arcing for: establishing the context of the piece, the setting of the sun (an omen, a sign that peace is over and war is about to become?), an introduction of the characters and their dignified sense of humour.

Seeing a female captain was unusual though. I don't think I've seen a captain in fiction portrayed as a female before, and in the modern day it wouldn't jar, but if this is set in the 1800s it kind of does seem questionable. Unless you're setting this in a fantasy world, in which case you can get away with it being plausible. I guess it was too short for me to determine whether it's going to be largely realistic fiction or if it's going to depart on a fantasy or Steampunk direction. But if it's realistic, I would suggest that maybe something is made of the female captain in a patriarchal society and era - even if it's just acknowledged. Maybe the men would question her authority or attempt to usurp her position? Don't know where you're going with the story yet so it's hard for me to comment too much. What do you think?

There were just a couple of tiny issues with spelling and grammar (you said you wanted constructive criticism, right?). "There fore" should be "therefore"; the "The Captain" after this should not be capitalised; and instead of a full-stop at the end of the expository sentence thereafter, there should be a comma and the next line of dialogue beginning with a lower-case letter as a sentence has not been finished.

All in all, well done.
