The floating mountain passes you by and groes fainter and fainter in the distance behind and below you as The Sea Breeze makes her way through the Boundless Blue; a solitary ship in an infinate expanse of sky. Beni is behind the wheel steering the ship for most of the time. The few minutes when he is away, he is either busy looking at maps, or cataloguing the ships' inventory - he does not seem to be one who sleeps a lot. When he is away from the wheel, Drahluut the first mate is there in his place. The atmosphere on deck seems to change when the nerra (what you have learnt is race to which Drahluut belongs) is in command. The sailors - usually a jovial bunch, despite the hard work they put into keeping the rigging in order - seem subdued by the harsh words of the acting-captain. While on the castle, the nerra assumes the mantle of captain fully, shouting orders, keeping order in the true captains' absence. The hours slowly pass, yet the innate glow of the infinate sky shows no sign of abating or being replaced by darkness. The clouds have increased to an extent that visibility is almost totally obscured. The spotter, high in his perch on the main mast is having a difficult time looking out for signs of land or other features and you see him shake his head in frustration. The air is grown colder, as though the clouds are coming from an altogether different region of this expansive place. With the cold comes a rise in the wind, which puches the ship at the fastest its been so far - not in itself a bad thing, but with the redced visibility, it could make things difficult. Derrick and Beni emerge from below deck, the captain holding a strange sextant in his hands. The two are wearing coats, and their brows are furrowed in thought. They speak for a while. Derrick nods, and rushes as fast as his legs can manage to the prow. Beni approaches you (whomever happens to be above deck at the time), 'Looks like your first day's ging to be an eventful one. Derrick's scried a storm heading straight for us. It may make things difficult for a while. Keep your eyes out, and be ready for any disturbances, and keep away from the sides - you may not be able to control your flight in this weather as well as in calm skies.'</blockquote>
