I knew what lye ahead, for whom Circe bid me perils that sacrificed too much. Smoke arose from the misty sea, and I told six of my best men nothing about their fate. I told them to hit their backs hard to the benches and hit the tumult seas. I took up arms with two heavy spears, preparing for a battle that was atrocious. I strained my eyes upon the cliff side as the monster of the grey rock harbored my friends in torment. We set forward, but Charybdis still awaited for us. She vomited a cauldron full of sea tide-waves like a cauldron over an intense fire. She swallowed the sea as my men glowered and were frightened of being devoured. It happened all at once! Scylla took the chance to strike my men. She took them down in her den, as was still reaching for me. All the questing I've done, and questioned the circumstance of our suffering. Rock were now behind us, even the two sea devils themselves. We ventured forward to pass the island of the Sun God's cattle.
