⏳21:35
Another hellish night has come to an end 😮💨 Will we make it through the next one? Not only Bioz 🧔🏻♂️, but everyone else's nerves were starting to fail. Besides, this endless sailing around in circles did not seem like speculation to anyone anymore...
In the morning the cursed island 🏝 appeared on the horizon again. And this time no one wanted to explore it anymore. What should we do 🤔? Asking myself that question again. How do we get out of this bloody closed loop! 😡
By lunchtime our new passenger 🧜♂️ came to its senses and started devouring the fruit 🥭 on board at the speed of sound. And the sound, I note, was disgusting. How long had it been starved by those monsters? And why did they do this to their kin in the first place? - Bioz pondered.
What is it? Has it said anything?
Not yet, no. We're just waiting for it to eat. You'd better clear out, all of you. It's afraid of you, and it will be easier for me to talk to it alone. - 👉 He shook his head at the seer and pointed to the outside. After a while Bioz 🧔🏻♂️ came out and shared the information with us.
Turns out this squirt 🧜♂️ is not from their tribe, but from a neighbouring clan. Which this one is feuding with. And not just any merchild, but the grandson of a chief! - enthusiastically began the story our shaman 🧔🏻♂️.
This is the second time over the last couple of weeks that he has sneaked onto our ship.
Is there some kind of attraction for them? - Pancho said sternly 👨 Looking at Lin 🧑🦱.
But we're not going to leave that one here for long! And what about these creatures 🧜🏻? - As for our enemies, they won't attack us head-on. They'll torture us until we're insane and give up 😵💫. They'll use magic to drive us around and block everything on the ship. That's why there's no way out 😠.
There must be some way! - outraged Stan. 👨🏻
Bingo! Let's pretend to give up! Let's lower the sails and wait in the hold for guests 😏.
What about this hypnosis? I'm afraid we won't last another night! 😒
I'll try to make a potion 🧪 to counteract it! Everything I need should be on the ship ⛵️.
Then get ready for battle! All weapons and supplies to the hold. Let's give them one last fight ⚔️!
We went down to the hold and started waiting 😼. In the evening, as before, the frantic singing continued. Every hour it got louder and louder 🤯. The creatures got quite brazen and probably swam right up against the ship ⛵️!
Next came an hour-long marinade. Around midnight 🕛 footsteps on the deck could be heard. And after some more time the creatures burst into the hold 😧!
The barricades slowed the attackers down. This allowed us to properly discharge everything we had at them. Did it help? In one way yes! But on the other hand our enemies got more aggressive and angry 😈. A hand to hand fight ensued 🤜. Stan, Win and I tried to hold them back in the pass, while the rest of the guys reloaded and fired 🔫 at those who flanked them. The corpses of the monsters filled the entire hold. But the hordes of creatures following behind didn't think to stop 😡! More than a hundred for sure! Scraps of flesh and body parts were flying in all directions. Suddenly Stan 👨🏻 was wounded in the arm and then in the back 🩸. He fell to the floor and slied behind me. I, on the other hand, with even more fury 🤬 continued to chop 🗡 anything that approached us! Our defences started to give up 😖…
The critters started to slip to the rear and collided with the rest of us 💥. There was no time to watch what was happening... Just kept chopping! Chop! Chop 🗡…
