Two brothers came with us to dis cursed place... Zei'ka and Jun'ka. Zei'ka, he got de fire in him. Soon as we landed, he ran off, chasing whispers like dey were calling his name. But, Jun'ka, he ain't a fool. He went after his brother, tryin' to keep him from getting himself killed. I don't like dis. Dis island, it'll swallow us whole if we ain't careful. Go check on dem, eh?
