The second and first levels are vacant. Tirad runs to the deck and takes out his flaming clothes and tries to put out the fire on his leg with Mart’s purple turban that he had tied around his face. Someone pours a buckle of water on his leg. He looks up. It’s Farnab with a smoked face, looking at him with tear filled eyes. Tirad knows from Farnab’s horrified look that he would never forgive himself for helping Tirad escape. He wants to console him saying that he would get out even if Farnab didn’t help him and he is not to blame himself for this. But now is not the time. Farnab wipes off a tear that rolls down his cheek and rubs his nose. The ashes spread all over his face. He turns away from Tirad and goes to the crowd gathering on the deck. Tirad ties the purple turban around his naked waist. He drags his lame leg and walks to the crowd that is staring at their burning home with disbelief. He sees Dalia and some of the third and fourth tier disciples that are leading everyone out of the deck towards the docks. He sees the crying children, the maids with frustrated and horrified faces and the disciples that walk out of the deck in despair, wondering which of their wrong-doings has brought them this devastation.

“Is everyone out?” Tirad asks Dalia. She is sure that they have brought them all out. Outside the ship, the pilgrims and the Island residents have gathered around trying to put out the fire. But they can’t even get close to the ship as the burning planks and flaming pieces are spitting out from the fire. Dalia and Tirad tell them to go to the harbour; there is no way they can save the Ship now. They too follow them. They need to get to the docks before all the boats leave the island. They must find a vacant boat and take it to sail towards the east side of the island where they had hid the coins and stashed the food supplies and fuel for their long journey ahead, before they had surrendered themselves to Mart. The hiding place is where Asin had buried her baby. Dalia was sure people believed that place was cursed and would never set foot there. The harbour is filled with fearful people that just want to get away from the island. Dalia finds Asin’s boat that was ceased by the guards before. He jumps on the boat and stops anyone else from boarding it. She stretches her hand to Tirad. He turns back towards the Saviour Ship before he gets on the boat. The Saviour Ship collapses in the flames with a horribly loud sound. The whole harbour becomes silent for an instance, shocked by the tremendous sound of the Ship cracking down. Tirad takes Dalia’s hand and jumps on Asin’s boat.
