For months they have been wandering in the cold waters of the Atlantic towards Greenland, to avoid situations similar to the first expedition they followed the coastline, avoiding the Bermuda triangle.
They are afraid of being trapped in the fog or worse yet to meet the Selene that inside has the rabbit of chaos, during the first month of travel they managed to find traces of life on the coast.
As they advanced along the coast the first month they managed to see a large number of humans walking south, along the coast, but the more they advanced and the weather became colder the traces of human presence disappeared completely.
When they finally arrived on the island of Manhattan, they realized that on the completely snow-covered coast there were some humanoid beings with white hair who were cooking some things.
The captain looked through the telescope at the scene that was unfolding and passed the telescope to the member of the inquisition that was coming on the expedition.
A young dwarf named Andreus "It is quite a complicated situation since we must go down on the island to get snow and wood for the boat.
I participated in the campaign of Empress Hellena so I know that the skin that these humanoid beings have behind is human.
The Caribs also cured the skin that way, if we cannot disembark in this area we will have to do it in Newfoundland, the problem is that the sea already in this place is in a semi-solid state due to ice.
It may be that before arriving it is impossible to move along the coast so we will have to enter the Atlantic to reach Greenland. "
The captain frowned. "We can’t take a chance, we’ll have to stock up so that the ship goes on high alert. We don’t know if those things can climb from the water."
Andreus is in charge of the boat if for some time we do not return, take the road back, we have valuable information for the empire. "
Andreus nodded and the captain prepared some boats to reach the coast and embark on the journey to get snow and wood for the use of the ship.
That night Andreus was smoking his pipe in the hull of the ship when the ship shook, Quickly the soldiers who were on guard woke the sailors to help defend the ship.
Andreus took out his saber and used his magic so that it warmed up and could easily kill anything that climbed the ship.
It did not take long to see a hairy hand rising along the shore of the ship, soon a kind of monkey poked its head and jumped with the captain’s severed head, which was bitten and only supported by the gums.
The sailors used their flintlock pistols to kill the beast who could not defend himself, Andreus shouted: "Prepare the sails we leave back home this place is too dangerous."
They quickly opened the sails and began to move, but they realized that even more, hairy hands were trying to get on the ship, without fear the sailors approached were the hands of the humanoid creatures were and with their sabers, they cut them.
The moon and the light of the oil lamps were the only things that illuminated the battle that the sailors were having, Andreus took advantage of the moment to take the helm and take the road back.
It was a shame about the captain and his little expedition but now they were dead and needed to leave that place before the beasts destroyed the ship or killed them completely.
The fight on the ship continued for a few minutes before they could leave the place, Callisto the only survivor of the captain’s expedition could see the ship moving away from the expedition.
Now he would be alone in a land of wild monsters, fortunately, the beasts did not kill him because the light of the ship caught his attention, but now he has a big problem.
He has no food since he only has his winter clothes, a saber, 10 bullets in his flintlock pistol, a flint and his desire to survive so he can see his wife again.
The first thing that Calisto did was to move away from the coast, because the humanoid beasts would return, to advance through the snow I use two pieces of wood bark like improvised skis.
He walked for three hours before he could see in the distance a small cave that stood out in the immense frozen forest when he entered he could see that it was the cave of a bear, it seemed not to have been used in a long time.
The inside of the cave was humid but rather warmer than the cold outside, he didn’t want to set the fire because he didn’t know if the beasts could see him, so he decided to spend the night in the place to see if tomorrow he could continue his walk.
The next morning he woke up and could see more clearly where he was, the first thing he did was locate where the sun came from to know where the cardinal points are.
Once locating this he continued with his walk, the snow was a problem and he realized that despite being very well covered his body began to suffer from hypothermia, he had to warm up as quickly as he could.
For his good fortune, it was a clear day and not one with a snowstorm, he walked in the morning until he could see in the distance the smoke of a small bonfire.
He approached very carefully and could see one of those humanoids cooking the body of a deer, Callisto took out his flintlock pistol and Path to the beast.
To his surprise the beast was not hostile, on the contrary, he could talk to him "I am surprised that there are still humans in this abandoned area by the hand of anything..."
