-I recognize it, sir. It is the only place where I have seen giant whirlpools. I remember them very well, the huachis use them to transport themselves to their Kingdom, I'm sure -said Kaleb.

-And... how do you know where on the map they are? -said the captain.

-Before coming here I was... a navigator, and I used to draw maps for my superiors -he lied.

-Your superiors? -Fuego asked.

-A battalion, sir -Kaleb said.

-And where are they now? -said the captain.

-They did not survive, we went through the waters of Bermuda when our ship sank. I appeared here, alone.

The captain stared at him.

-Set course for the Devil's Whirlpools -he finally yelled.

-Yes, captain -the navigator responded.

-Well, now you are part of a new crew and you have a new captain. So tell me... you wouldn't lie to your captain, would you? -Fuego asked as he placed one of the "fingers" of his extremity made of incandescent flames under the boy's chin. He couldn't quite touch him, but he was close enough for Kaleb to feel the horrible heat burning him. The boy tried to endure the pain and only raised his head, while the other two pirates held him so he wouldn't move.

-N-No, sir. If they are not there, you can punish my lie -said the boy between groans.

-For your sake... so be it -exclaimed the pirate as he withdrew his hand.

The pirates released him and the boy breathed heavily. His chin still burned but he at least knew that he had managed to sell the lie.
