After talking to Mr. Dickenson, the servant understood that he needed to purchase the supplies as soon as possible since his master was so sick that he might pass away in a short time. Furthermore, the servant found that his trip would be an unknown adventure because Mr. Dickenson said, “You can not predict what will happen on the sea and in different islands; perhaps you need to become someone like a legendary warrior — Beowulf, who battled with different kinds of monsters and became a king at the end.”
The servant was eager to figure out how he had to lead the fisherman and other sailors to sail on the sea. He thought this journey might be challenging and difficult as there were so many sailors who had died on the sea due to the unknown oceanic conditions. He started to imagine his voyage would be also like another legendary story — Odyssey, whose hero spent about ten years sailing on the sea to find a way to back home.
Preparing for their supplies and goods, the servant and the fisherman decided to visit the priest in their village before they started to sail on the sea. The priest told them that both of them would find different and specific treasure that would be beneficial to them forever. The servant and the fisherman were curious about his words, they thought whether this oracle would become true or not. Feeling dubious, they began their journey with many uncertainties.
