The crew of the Elfen Wing Ship busied themselves with the preparations for departure. They seemed happy and eager to be off. To long had they been ashore, now they were wanting to be at sea again and perhaps off to another adventure. The cabins were few and small, Lotharn and Pegawen was given one, Merry and Pippen and Flagdon shared another, and one was given to Allasiel and Allasea. Timberlane and Thorgan and Haldiar placed their things in the crew quarters. A hammock was a good enough bed, and would swing with the motion of the ship. The ship was fairly large but not meant for a lot of passengers. Ellyah and his First Mate had their own cabins and a couple of the other officers aboard shared one. The ship was mainly made for cargo, though along her railings one could see the heavy crossbows mounted on swivils and up front at the bow a balista. It seemed the ship was also prepared for battle with what ever lay out in the ocean. The ship itself was beautiful, with carved railings and carved scrolling on the command deck. It was painted in deep blue and purple with a scarlet color sail. It looked well maintained, for the obvious age of the ship.<br/><br/>Thorgan had not seen it in the harbor when the came to the city. Ellyah had to have had it anchored somewhere else. As the ship shoved off from the dock and it's lone sail lowered and secured the wind caught it and they slowly began their journey. There were many from the city at the dock to watch them depart, many wondering if they would ever return. After Ellyah was done making sure his passengers were properly accomadated he moved up one of the two ladders leading to the command deck of the ship and began barking orders out at the crew. They scrambled to obey, making sure the lines were tight and tied off properly, rope and other items stored and not left loose about the deck. Soon enough the wind had caught the sail properly and the ship lurched forward and began to plow through the water like a knife through butter. The ship was designed for speed and manuverablilty. Thorgan came up on deck and moved up to the command deck. "So you think we will arrive where we want to go in a couple of days?" he asked Ellyah.<br/><br/>"Aye, that is if all goes well. There be dangers out here, below the waters as well as above. Not many know it but there be others out here beyond our coasts. I have tangled with them, and delt with them. Some be honest seafaring folk like us." he waved towards the crew. "But others be no good scum that as soon as slit their own mother's throat if they could make a profit on it. There be other lands further south, exotic and wild at times. But like most here....." he nodded to the fast receding shore line, "They tend not to go exploring much. Not yet any ways. Many a grand adventure I have had out there and among those waters." He chuckled. "Many a lass have I met and enjoyed, in as many a port I visited. Ah it tis good to be at sea again with a purpose." he looked down at the main deck and called out, "Make sure those harpoons are sharp and ready me maties. There be the Octs and the Sea Serpents out there. Make sure the Balista is well greased and her bolts are sharp as well." he turned to Thorgon again. "This be the first time I be taking such lovely passengers aboard." He chuckled. I see one is taken by my brethern with the bow. How bout the other two?" he grinned.<br/><br/>Thorgon looked at Ellyah raising a brow. "Allassiel is my bethrothed and Allasea I would not even attempt to try anything with. Her animals would have you for lunch, or she would cut you into little pieces for them." he gave Ellyah a hard look.<br/><br/>Ellyah laughed and nodded. "Well these things be good to know my friend. No wanting to step on any ones toes.
