Mariula took the telescope from Urian and started to carefully examine what kind of ship was following them so fast. Well armed dragon-blooded, elite mortal warriors, artifact weapons... A well equipped and important ship of house Cynis. There was nothing that she and Ihorangi couldn't deal with, but it was going to be difficult and needed preparation.<br/><br/>Ihorangi was more than capable to care for himself, she wasn't going to wait for him. With a silent gesture to Urian, the witch called him to take the glass back in its case and then turned to the others.<br/><br/>"We shall see what path will leave most of us alive. For now, we are not attacking a well supplied and armed ship. Urian - mist, someone call me Thirty-three and that alchemist with their smokes! Keel will cleave the clouds!" The witch raised her hands, weaving brilliant strands of essence, as the mist and smoke started to engulf the ship, forming impenetrable walls of clouds. Nothing else seemed to happen though... It was not before quarter of an hour or so have passed, when the splashing of the waves disappeared completely. The Sea Serpent was flying...<br/><br/>"Prepare yourselves, air elementals don't always like their realms invaded. Though, if I'm right that we are above a manse, they will not appear at least for some time!"
