"We're going to eat it…" Said the captain who kept looking trying to see his guns sinking, he didn't need to turn around to know what his sailors were thinking.

"Calix, get off your ass and open the box!!" Dimo shouted on the deck, while he went to get some things from the ship's stores.

'The good Dima, astute as he alone' Taras thought, seeing Dima running to the cabins.

But Calix didn't move, he continued to lazily look at everyone on the deck. Noticing that Ron's face frowned, disobeying two orders in a row was the height of his patience, with determined steps he went to get the whip to teach this bastard how to obey orders, but a voice interrupted him before he could take it.

"Ron, open the box, the others move away and point to the box" Said the captain who looked somewhat dazed at the sea on the horizon.

'From not being a Momoto, to being afraid… What is the rule that dictates our death, Captain Wiliam?' Taras wondered with annoyance at the change in attitude, but he heard the order and pointed to the box.

Ron obeyed and walked over to the wooden box, carefully prying it open with a crowbar he had conveniently picked up. The box was opened, and the lid fell to the ground, making all the sailors present nervous.

"Where the fuck did Dima go, I need to see this, it looks like a 'black offering'" Ron said looking inside the box.

The inside of the box had been painted completely black and one could find the lifeless body of a girl curled up. The girl was dressed in a cute all-white dress, which stood out against the black background of the box. It seemed that the girl was no more than 10 years old, and her body was in perfect condition, which meant considering how corroded the wood was on the surface of the box.

What most caught Ron's attention was the large number of scratch marks that could be found all over the surface of the box, and especially on the lid. Following the trail he looked at the girl's hands, they were completely mangled, she didn't have any intact nails and several of her fingers seemed to be broken.

Which made Ron very upset, because the state of her corpse made it seem like it had all happened a few days ago, causing one to have a parental instinct to wonder... 'Why didn't I put her on the ship a week ago? ' … But the box seemed to indicate that the girl spent years at the bottom of the sea.

"You have to cover the box and throw it back into the sea, yes an offering to the goddess of the sea, is there any recognized symbol?" The captain commented.

"You should come see what's in the box, they don't sacrifice an animal... To look for the god symbol, I would have to strip her, I refuse to do that, I'm going to look for Dima" Ron said with a disgusted look on his face as he headed towards the cabins.
