Soon after Fisher got to his ship, an artefact ship left the port and headed for Starfall. A bird had landed on the mast of "the Sea Serpent" and where its head turned, she followed. "The Cruciger" was left behind, hiding the fact that the two had a common goal.

And despite the advantage the Cynis ships had, he was confident Mariula had something up her sleeve. That was even if she wore something sleeveless that day, and not counting the dagger that was virtually guaranteed to be in any sleeve she wore.
