The last few months was the time for us to return to port. Unfortunately, one night when we returned to a
port near Japan, the heavens opened and the winds were whipping. The sky was pitch black. At the same
moment, an enormous wave struck the hull of the ship. It was a stormy and very long night. The next
morning, it was found that almost all our crewmen were killed. Finally, we returned home. The Emperor
and swarms of citizens came to welcome us back. We were loudly and cheerfully applauded for but those
who deserved it most were the ones who sacrificed themselves valiantly.
One year has passed and it is just about time to set sail again. In spite of countless uncertainties, we will
continue our journey as mysteries of this world are beyond our imagination. Obstacles will never stop our
boats.
Adventures always come along with storms and surges. Yet we never give up in upholding our hopes and
beliefs. We endeavour to sail against the current to uncover new worlds.
