Stop the Insanity!

"Hero? Hardly. I just want to jump ship off this crazy train." he then went on deck and saw, in the distance, an island. The pirates reaction to said island was to cross themselves and/or give the sign of the evil eye.

"We must leave this place!" said one, and jumped overboard. Several more followed suit. Fred was confused until he noticed that the sail had been lowered but the ship was slowly being drawn towards the island in the distance.
"What is that island?" asked Lord Fred, grabbing one of the frightened deckhands. "Tell me what it is! I must get off this insane boat! My life has been one bit of craziness after another."
"It is the island of lost souls," gibbered the man, attempting to wriggle out of Lord Fred's grasp. "I have heard tales of it since I was a young boy. We will wreck upon its shore for sure, and be damned!" Lord Fred then released him, and he ran below decks.

You must understand that at this point Lord Fred had enough. He could not take any more insanity, and he was pretty certain that either this would end up being a dream or Lots would come back from the dead or Astra would turn into a four headed monster or something equally insane. No superstition was going to stop him from getting off that ship.

Lord Fred lowered the dinghy to the water, and was joined at the last minute by Astra, who looked like she had just woken up from a hard sleep. "Fred?" she said quizzically. "Oh no! I thought this had all been a dream!"
"Come with me Astra!" begged Fred, getting into the boat. "This is your last chance. Lets flee this insanity together."
Astra considered this a moment, then joined Lord Fred in the boat. After they took off for the island, the pirate ship ceased to be pulled towards it. The pirates cheered at Lord Fred and Astra, thinking that they had sacrificed themself for the crew.
"How sweet," said stinky Jim, the first mate and now new captain. "Ok you maggots lets raise the sail and get the hell away from here!" and so they did.

As Fred and Astra's boat nears the island, Fred begins to have some doubts. Many of these doubts coincide with the crashing of a plane on the island when they are nearly there, some ways down the beach. They didnt know what a plane was, but by the screaming they could hear in the distance it carried people in it. It would take probably an hour to reach by foot, but was plainly visible. It looks like the tail section fell off into the water in one place and the mid-section on the beach.

"Why do I feel like once again, it's our turn in the barrel?" asked Astra, and Fred could do nothing but agree. They rowed in to shore, and upon exiting the boat found themselves wearing dingy white robes. Astra and Fred sighed, not considering it even worth mentioning.

1. Fred and Astra head to the wreckage, to see if there are any survivors of that giant metal thing that fell out of the sky.
