Across the Eastern Sea

"My age does not leave this room!!" Piers yelled as he stormed back on deck.

He slammed the door, sighed, and leant against it.

"Stupid kids," Felix mused.

"You're only one year older than most of them. And Kraden's older than you,"

Felix paused to think for a moment.

"Experience-wise, they're all younger than me anyway,"

Piers snorted, and joined the Venus Adept at the wheel.

"We're reaching the eastern bank of the Karagol," Felix added.

"Bring her up for flight, we'll clear this in no time,"

He swirled the wheel around once, then back the other way, and yanked down a lever beside it. With a jerk lifting them off the face of the water, the adepts all knew they were flying. Helped, of course, by the fact that they could feel the ship consuming their psynergy.

There was a small, unnamed settlement on the stretch of ground separating the Karagol from the Great Eastern Sea. At the sight of a vast ship flapping it's wings above them, all the villagers poured outside of their houses to marvel at the sight. It's not every day you see a flying ship.

The billowing, churning mass of fog surrounding Lemuria was just ahead, engulfing the ship from a distance.

"I don't know whether they're going to like this…." Piers groaned.

"Hmm? Why?"

"Heh… the council weren't very pleased at our last visit…who says they'll warm up to us now…?"

Felix slowed the ship to navigate through the dense rocks. The fog wasn't helping either, so it was going v-e-r-y slowly.

"Stop worrying. What's the worst that can happen?" He muttered. "You worry too much in your old age,"

"FELIX!! Don't you start!! I had that from the others!"

"Just joking…" Felix sighed. "Almost there now…it's just past that crag…"

There was a creaking sound behind them, and Jenna came up on deck.

"Just came to see how it's going, big brother," She smiled.

She smiles like she's known Felix forever, that he never got washed out of Vale…and yet, she's still trying to cope with the fact that he's alive, and that he's different from the Felix she knew 3 or 4 years ago… Piers thought. Ah, but listen to me. Thinking to myself like a psychiatrist…

But the look in her eyes when she thinks no-one's looking tells me that it's true…

(PG - I know that was a bit short, but what's happening next has it's own chapter title and stuff.

Ivan – so don't delay, R&R today!!

PG - ….that was corny. )
