As the ship went further, the more the atmosphere became silent. The water turned calm and the rain came to a stop. The thunderclaps and lightening turned mild and the ship was at ease and moving in slowly. Ibinabo opened the Cabin door and called for attention. She briefly explained to the league of warriors the dangers that faces them now as they had crossed from their borders to the strange waters. She told them to keep vigilant and keep their heads up as they will be taking turns to keep watch soon. She left the cabin. Lord Nathan, the physician and Sail coordinator was in the control room, helping navigate the ship through the water to the borders where the Prince should be found. Ibinabo came up to the control room and asked for his attention. "The sea is likely to turn aggressive later on and the waters even more so. It would take us plenty of time to navigate through this sea without a strong wave soon enough, all we need to do is keep watch and pray the moon keeps shining on us as we are in a dangerous place now". The physician said as ibinabo demanded to know where they were. The Sea wasn't place for remorse. If they had a job to do they had to go about it with ease. Finding wasn't going to be an easy task anyways as the vast area of the sea was unpredictably misleading and Prince Jath wasn't the type to stick to due process he must have taken another route to the borders and the had to search each coordinates and make sure they didn't miss any routes. Meanwhile back at the Empire, the Emperor had gone to meet with the council men over the scroll. It was going to be a very trying time for the Empire. The prince was feared to be missing and then the forces of the borders had called off their good ties with the Atlantic Empire. That's a straight call to war. The Empire was low in numbers of warrior as most of the warriors were not yet ready to fight. Some were still undergoing training and without stand against the joint forces of different kingdoms, heathens and outlaws that will be together to try to conquer the greatest forces of the waters, Atlantic. The meeting was a close ended one and the mattes delineated consisted of pure defense strategies and the possibilities of buying back the trust and allies from outside territories and maybe call for a peace talk With the Pacific, but it was settled that the Queen was not available. She was in preparation for battle somewhere. An arch enemy if the throne could never come to talk peace with the Empire unless it had it on it's knees. After the meeting, the Emperor had to send him guards reinforce the borders and await the arrival of the prince. Tactical operations was left for Ibinabo and Prince Jath to carry out and Tactical thinking and plans was implemented with Lord Nathan's supervision. As it seemed, the Emperor was left to wait for their arrival before he could make proper plans towards the War of The Ecplise. Lord Nathan was highly respected in the Empire. The Emperor only attached him to the crew because the prince was a priority and he also needed him to keep an eye out to check for possible allies and weak points of line of defense at the borders and maybe make necessary corrections to it when he returned. After the ship had sailed passed the borders, the Change in environment was outstanding.thr Light in the sky could be seem from far above signifying that the day was near upfront and back where they came the dark sky had just the moon eliminating just surface of the Clouds. As the had gone up to the anchor point, the didn't need introductions, the guards of the borders who sailed in small boats heavily armed let them pass noticing the Atlantic's flag on the ship and besides the ship was the biggest and strongest in the Empire. So any guard who knew exactly about the Empire would recognize the ship from far off. The further they went the more cold the air was. Some of the warriors were forced to fold under blankets that looks like it was made out of coated boar skin and some were already asleep. But Sandy just couldn't. She was too nervous to close her eyes. She sat up listening to every movement, twist, turns and twirls right outside the sea. She was scared to an extent but she kept waiting to land and feel her feet on the ground. In-between her patience she laid get head leaning on a surface off the wall and she fell asleep. But not exactly asleep. She had a dream, she was in the middle of the sea, floating and it seemed exactly like she was back in the safe bunk of the goergestone Marine. It was a strange feeling for her because it felt more real than even when she was awake at the Atlantic. The feeling of floating in water was more realistic here than it was. It was only a foggy sight for her as she couldn't see clearly when she woke but she could recognize the safe bunk easily. She tried to take control of her consciousness but as soon as it seemed like she was going to recover. She was woken up by a vibration of the ship. She grasped for breath and took to her feet. She chooses not to sleep anymore from there on. This dream came like a flashback to her but then it felt like her presence was more present there than it was here. Questions came to her mind that she might not be able to answer so she let it go but kept it in mind to search for answers wherever she could and the Sea wasn't going to be the best place to do so especially if it's not the same place she woke up in.
