There was no one aboard the Chain Breaker except Nephis and Sunny. She was wearing a light tunic, holding the oars with a steady hand. He was shrouded in Ananke's Mantle, leaning on the railing nearby.
The deck of the flying ship was desolate, and they were both silent, consumed by heavy thoughts.
The Chain Breaker looked somewhat different from how it had been before. There were bands of dull metal reinforcing its elegant hull, a new ram protruding from its bow, and countless other alterations that were hidden from sight, making it look more like a battleship than a beautiful yacht.
Sunny and Cassie also created a miniature version of the defensive array they developed to secure the human Citadels in the Dream Realm, which itself was based on the spell Sunny had created in Ariel's Game, and applied it to the flying ship.
It was odd, really…
