[ WP ] Either a ship is traveling to a newly discovered continent in a fantasy setting , or a starship is traveling to a newly discovered planet in a sci-fi setting . Make it impossible to tell which in your story .

There at the edge on my view, a glimmer of light beckoning me further. Hope swells inside me as I lay my eyes upon it. For so long I've been aboard this ship, a lone explorer seeking lands others refused to believe existed. I wish I could tell them now, show them, prove I was right, but its been so long and I've traveled so very far away. 
 
 I knew this was a one way trip. It was never really about them, this journey was for me, and me alone. I wanted to see new lands, behold new wonders, even if it cost me everything. They called me crazy as I set out on my voyage all alone. They wagered how far I would go before I came home, tail tucked between my legs. No one imagined I would ever come this far, but here I am on the precipice of a new discovery. 
 
 This was the moment I had waited my entire life for. I stood awestruck as the distant glimmer drifted closer into view. I had gambled my entire life for this. Risked everything, spent every penny I had to set out on this journey, just for this moment. 
 
 I was an explorer now, I had found something new, something no man had ever seen. What wonders must this land hold? endless fields of green? Forests reaching up to the sky? Golden sunsets painting the land in brilliant colors like I had never seen? 
 
 A swell of pride rises in my chest as I come to realize my dream. It does n't matter what this new land holds, because I made it. In spite of every hardship along the way, I've arrived. Here in this new land I'll carve out a new life. I'll pave the way for every man to explore after me and they'll all sing my name because I made it here first. I am an explorer, the first man to ever see the beauty this land has to offer.
