The prayer led by two noble captains echoed across the two Portuguese ships, as six bodies were cast into the endless sea.
This time, in the attack by the Caribs, the flagship had six men struck by arrows, resulting in four deaths. On the vice ship, four were poisoned, but only two died. Initially, the fleet of forty-four had now dwindled to thirty-eight, causing morale to plummet!

Bruno's voyage, however, stumbled into the extremely xenophobic domain of the Caribs, heading towards their stronghold!
