In this episode, we continue our story as Magellan and his crew set sail in the Pacific Ocean, thinking that it will only take them three weeks to find land. They never knew the vastness of this ocean and the struggles they will have to face along the way. After almost four months on sea, they finally saw land, but crisis arises. After escaping, they find another land with hospitable people unlike the ones before them. Magellan then reclaims this land in the name of Christ and of Charles I. However, a cunning king enters the scene and Magellan was caught in the cobweb of local dispute bringing him to his end.

Yup, Magellan has arrived in Cebu.
