Pretor take a look at the map shown by Incarnation.
"Our old village is there." he tells pointing a point on the coastline.
"You want to go there." he says pointing the intersection of two river.
"If you go in a straigth line, it would take you about five days. But that would be dangerous. You would pass through territory of tribe striken by the curse. My old village is there, so you would have to cross the territory during the second day. You could fall on a war party, which could be a threat for you. Most likely and hunting party, which would slow you down.
But that would be the least of the dangers. Snow storm strike hard during that time of the year on Valhyr. If you fall within one, it could blow during two or three days. If you try to move, you might lose your location and good luck to find back you way. If that happen, you would need to find back the coast most likely.
But the worst danger are the angels. They can attack anyone for any reason they like. A weakest angel would be just as tough as one of the beast you slay. A patrol of them would could mean your death. They patrol mainly inland, so you better just stay on the coast. That means three days of travel along the coast, than three or four along the river. I think that would be your safest path."
With these advice given by Pretor, you go take some sleep. Dane easily fall asleep as his belly have much work to do to digest all the food he ate. He is even hard to awake when the time come to leave. The largest ship have been prepare for your travel. Food enough for the trip on the sea, and some extra for you travel on land have been put on the ship.
Gruco and Dane push the vessel in the sea once everyone is onboard. Gruco then help Dane to jump inside the ship before Gruco follow him.
"The wind is good. If it stay like that, we would be able to cut a day or two. Let's pray the Seamaster for his good fortune."
During the first day, all is quiet, except for Dane, which stomach doesn't seems to handle the movement of the sea. During the night, Incarnation seems to have a disturbing dream.
[SBLOCK=Incarnation]Incarnation is sailing on the sea with the five. He listen to what Mauros have to tell him. He is explaining him that once in Valhyr, they would be able to prepare Incarnation for the ritual. But as the preparation ritual is taxing and sensitive, it need to be made in control environment.
"But why do we need to travel by sea to go there? Why it takes so much time? You could have created a sanctuary nearer Daunton." asks Incarnation.
"I wanted somewhere far enough to not be disturb. We had another way to get there, but we had to close the path a few years ago. And I don't have time to make another sanctum like that one yet." explains Mauros.
Before Incarnation speak his next question, he is splashed by some water. He turns around to see a seaborn creature jumping out of the water and Incarnation get knock unconscious.[/SBLOCK]
