Paddling for our lives we headed back into the open sea from our unfortunate visit to Cyclops Island. My men and I were terrified of the events that had occurred over the past days‚ it was a miracle that none of us had gone insane yet. With what sanity we had left we sailed for about six days according to our crew members that had been counting the days since the death of our fellow flute player.
