The ships were huge, and a large, young, and fat merchant named Leonardo Alexander, heir to the family name, and current temporary head of house Alexander, stood looking at them, and shouting orders at the sailors passing by. "I want these boats ready within the next five hours, or my father will have your head." The Sailors would often ignore him, and for problems they would go to Leonardo's father who was also watching over the operation. Eventually the ships were finally ready to set sail after a full three hours of waiting. Hundreds of sailors, and citizens, both merchants and workers loaded onto the boats, as well as Leonarado.

Joseph stood on a small platform so all could see him. "Today our brave sailors will set sail," he shouted and gave pause, "They shall find glory," the crowd started to roar, "They shall find honor," the crowd continued to cheer as hundreds more gathered around the boats, "and most of all they shall find wealth!" The crowd whistled, cried, and cheered all at the same time. Words went mute, and thousands of peoples voices drowned out by the next. The Ships started off on their adventure, and people still waved good bye, and wished them luck even as the soldiers started to disperse them.
