A backstabbing betrayal

So it was my first time capturing the burning blade tonight, I did it alone and was sailing around and had two rituals done. I was going to go sell because I wanted to get off for the night but as I was traveling to reapers I heard somebody say hello. We talked and the person seemed like a nice guy and it seemed he was helping me by showing me the ropes of stuff I didn’t know. He convinced me to go to a third ritual so I could get a commendation. He told me to go down once we arrived there (keep in mind he rode with the burning blade the entire way and I didn’t see any other ships insight, I still don’t know how he got on the ladder to my ship) I started to get my first hint of suspicion, why would he not want to go down with me? I went down and completed the ritual but I forgot to break the orb because I’m stupid. I came back up to a whole brig lined up next to the burning blade. The guy I meant earlier was the only one talking, and he eagerly rushed back into the ritual with me because I realized my mistake. It seemed he was trying to help me because he was showing me a book in the ritual room, but little did I know he was stalling. I got really suspicious that I heard cannons and I felt like he was trying to buy time for something. For some reason I thought that the cannons I was hearing the intense music was part of breaking the orb to finish the ritual, because the ritual I was at seemed to be self destructing with magma on the walls. I’m still pretty new so I thought it was just part of the ambience. A message came up on my screen telling me my ship sunk. I knew it all along that I couldn’t trust him, but he was really nice to me and seemed like he wanted to help, which reminds me of a guy I ran into on my first day of playing named minejax. He was really good at the game and owns a large guild, he invited me into it and showed me how to play. I am still in his guild and he is still a good friend. That’s what I thought this guy was. But in the end he just sunk my burning blade. I still don’t know what the point of that was, I’m not sure if you get any gold or if it was just to make me mad. I laughed and called myself an idiot when the message popped up, and he ran off to teleport back to his ship without saying a word. I talked to him a lot on the way to this ritual and he seemed very friendly, we talked about the grappler and the new blow dart. I guess you never really can trust a pirate.
