-The second half of this story starts off similar to how the first part started, a little background information and a somewhat of a reminder that Sindbad is an individual who had a nice life but chose to be weary of its pleasures and look for a change and adventure in his life.

-Sindbad decides to go on another trip/adventure, but on his own boat this time so he built and fitted one on his own at the nearest seaport.

-This will allow Sindbad to decide his own journey, stop wherever he wants, take his time, and also invite whoever he wanted.

-On this particular travel, they come across a huge roc's egg that was already nearly hatched. The merchants that Sindbad invited made the grave sin of breaking the shell with their hatchets and killing the infant roc. 

-Sky roared, lightning flashed from the skies, hacking the morsels from the bird and proceeding to roast them. The captain of the ship with the knowledge of what was about to happen told everyone to run. 

-The giant birds appeared and began dropping huge rocks onto Sindbad's ship, destroying it to pieces.

-Sindbad once again was lost in the sea and woke himself in another paradise of an island.

-This story gets a bit repetitive but every turn has its own unique twist to it which I enjoy a lot.

-This makes me daydream about winning the lottery, having more money than I know what to do with, just so I can build my own vehicles of all terrains and go on possibly similar adventures to Sindbad.
