Somewhere off of an unknown coast, 1516.

After a long and agonizing voyage, the Cordoba had finally sighted land. Every sailor, passenger, and donkey on board brimmed with excitement, for months at sea had caused the men to fantasise of dry sand as much as they did women. The excitement even spread to the men locked in the brig, those who had attempted to mutiny and steer the vessel back towards Spain. They forgot their meager surroundings and knew they would soon be free. Surely, the captain would forgive their past transgressions! Surely.

Immediately above the brig rested the captain's quarters, where two men were engaged in a heated debate. One was a portly man who was draped in clothing that told anyone who laid eyes upon him that he was a sailor. A piece of cloth was wrapped around his forehead and it was the same color as his red moustache. "This isn't right, captain," the man said, as a fat and hairy finger touched part of the map. "Land is supposed to be another two weeks away."

The other man, clothed in the uniform of a Spanish military officer carried himself with the arrogance of Lucifer himself. "Then I do suppose we should count ourselves lucky," he murmured, in a very annoying tone. "You're dismissed, Rodrigo." Although he scoffed, the one identified as Rodrigo gave him a weak salute and stormed out of the room without another word. The captain would regret his decision, Rodrigo thought.

"Drop the anchor, mates! All who's coming ashore is comin' with me!" he shouted on deck of the ship. Who knew what awaited the crew on land?
