Ruiz has asked us to make sure the Heretic is secured on our nightly rounds. I do not like it, and when we check on him, we check in pairs – never alone.\n\nThe man is strange – he does not even acknowledge our approach, and still persists in weaving strands of hemp into ropes. The man has made yards of it, but without purpose, for we have no need of it.\n\nStill, if it occupies his time, and as long as his shackles on hand and foot remain fast, then I shall count our blessings that he no longer whispers in our Captain's ear – and I am sure Ruiz is the same. I often think about looping the rope he makes around his own neck to let him quietly choke in his sleep. I know the others feel the same.\n\nÁlvaro

Ruiz's Request

Captain Isabella has ordered that no one leave the camp. Why we abide this woman's mad orders is beyond me.\n\nI am not the only one. LaCuran and others agreed with me. There are almost nine of us in total now. Either we take command from her or we leave in the night and go in search of other signs of life on the isle, but to remain at Isabella's mercy will get us killed, we are certain of it.\n\nÁlvaro

The Captain

I, Álvaro Bento, am writing this confession of my own free will. Captain Isabella confronted me on my treasonous thoughts and as proof, showed me one of my own pages I had written expressing my desire to abandon her and the crew. I have betrayed myself, my crew, and worst of all, my Captain.\n\nI am to be executed, I, and eight of the men who also sought to abandon Captain Isabella. It is no less than we deserve.\n\nMay God forgive me.\n\nÁlvaro Bento
