    One day, news reached Evander of 75 Indian slaves, brought to Colombia under British command. The news shook him to the core. He knew he had to act.

    Evander set off on his journey, crossing the vast African savanna, the tumultuous Atlantic, and the dense Amazon forest, until he reached Colombia.

    He infiltrated the British ranks, posing as a new overseer. This gave him access to the slaves, allowing him to gain their trust.

    Evander's charisma and kindness quickly won the slaves over. They began to see him not as an overseer, but as a beacon of hope.
