Due to the relentless pursuit of the leshen, Audrey's group was driven ashore again. Also, the delay caused by the fight that broke between them and the leshen, consumed their day and they were left with no choice but to take shelter for the night.Night might provide them a good cover. However, they still could not muster up the courage and afford taking the risk of venturing the Land of Dawn knowing its treacherous nature. Besides, no one thinks it was a good idea anyway. After all, it was an established fact that Land of Dawn was already fairly dangerous during the day so it only goes without saying that night is worse.Thankfully, they found a lighthouse nearby."Did you smell that?""That's whale's oil"Whale oil burns like no other. Once you set it on fire, it was nearly inextinguishable/ the possibility of extinguishing it was nigh ."Then rejoice, you all, for today, we were in luck.

Hendrik Van der Decken is the captain of the legendary ghost ship known as the Flying Dutchman and an antagonist in nautical folklore. Story states that he deliberately implored a demon for the power to sail the seas unaffected by inclement weather. Some years since, a famous captain was renowned for achieving unusual cruising speeds on his voyages. Such were his exploits at the helm that many of his contemporaries suspected him of being in league with the Devil. It is said the devil himself had given Dutch pirate captain Hendrick van der Decken the power to make his ship the fastest ship on all the seas, after the man sold his soul to him one night with a full moon. No ship could travel faster than the reckless captain's ship: it broke the waves and broke the furious winds to reach port in a matter of hours or a few days. The sailors who traveled with Van der Decken respected and feared him at the same time, but they liked sailing with him because he was fair in sharing profits and

For a moment, Niccoli had the urge to help the cat as he noticed that it was struggling to bring Audrey’s pants that was twice its size.

Nero, on the other hand, did not comment on this. But he sure enjoyed the praise as it was evident on the smirk hanging on his lips while he was playing on his whiskers.Meanwhile, Niccoli who could hear all of it, especially how his cat was openly flirting in the public, had to fight back the urge to roll his eyes. Nonetheless, he wordlessly let the cat enter the portalet. After all, judging from the items he brought with him,

Likewise, upon arriving at the heart of the commercial unit of Brujeria, the group decided to do their business separately. “From here, I presumed that it would be best if we go our separate ways.” “I agree, more heads working within the same time frame means we can cover more area and could get the job done the soonest possible time. ” Steve suggested and Audrey was quick to second him, while the others nodded their head in consent. Since they too believed that this was the best action to take if they wanted to save time. Afterward, they agreed to meet on that same location to report any progress they made by the end of the day. "Remember, our goal is to find a ship. We will be meeting back here at the first sign of twilight and report our findings." Steve insinuated as a final

“Jace? What brought you here?” Niccoli, this time, rose to his feet. Surprised to see that it was indeed his friend, Jace in real flesh and blood. “You too, Allan. Are we not suppose to take separate direction each? Niccoli added when he noticed that Allan was there too. At the same time, he could not help but ponder over possibility? ‘Were they also here after a fruitless search? Are they done searching their lane and so they came searching for us instead to observe if we are doing any better compared to them?’ Niccoli reflected because if his memory was not failing him yet, the last thing he recalled was that their g
