The day of sucess

May 13, 1496

It was bright out, no clouds to seen insight the majestic wonders of the bright sky lights up the world once again. The morning i woke up, still overjoyed with the feeling of accomplisment.I stared out the window and reorganized my thoughts and planned what we needed to be done. I got dressed and carried my hat down to the table. As i walked down th stair i felt a warm breeze. I sat down and ate the blan porriage and i was own my way, a new day, a new life.

The Preperation

May 2, 1497

It was a long heated day, the gods beated us down as we loaded the deck.As i was looking through the maps columbus took as breeze shook my neck on the far east and decided it would be best if took west and see where the sea will takes us that day. We had around 20 men on the ship a fairly small vessal, much an essiantial part of our journey as we loaded surgeons, merchants and sailors boarded the vessals at this point the only thing that was going to stop us was the gods.

A Dead sea, quiet above all else all i could hear is the constant ringing of the waves rocking our vessel back and forth. I'm sure we heading north but wasn't sure my compass was acting strange so we have deicded to let it drift off to the course we hope to land on soon.

2nd Expedition Entry 10

May 9, 1498

We were off once again to the distant depth sea of terror, as we loaded i could see where we would be heading and instead of heading west, he headed north west this time. As the boat row, steadily nausea overwhemled me, where the point i could lead the expedtion anymore.

Entry 11

May 18, 1498

It wasn't a dead sea anymore, vicious waves crashed apond our vessels i could feel every motion we knew that something was coming, but we couldn't turn back now we didn't have enough resources, after minutes water hailed down and the wind and waves pentreted our ships crashing. Thunder roaring sky's dark. Was this the sign from god?

Entry 12

Jun 21, 1498

It's been days now, there's been alot of wreckage and alot of damage delt to all of us, we are barely surivivng, we are lost at sea with no sense of direction and i think if we should try to go back we would strave to death, alot of my entries has been washed away, i look around my cabinet i feel isolated the smell of rotten meat lingers on and spelled wine filled up the whole boat i could hear screaming from the others catching some sort of dieases.

Entry 13

Jun 30, 1498

The boat rocks back and forth, i could sense something else is coming, a storm a vicious one, the cold wind slapped us we were shivering to death, we tried to turn around and i guess this is the day god call apond us and i'll await my death soon enough.
