Four more of the creatures remain. Copper needed to take care of some other things and the Guild was working on keeping soldiers occupied so Dria asked the group for their help in taking the creatures out.
It was decided that out of the four, they would seek out the Creature of the Sky in Yeezla. This meant that they were going to need some help getting there via ship. Kather offered the group a ship from a bottle and told them to crack it open when they were ready. Using a map they were able to plan out which route they wanted to take and made their way to the train station. They bought their tickets and made their way to the nearest port at the Frecia Fortress. Here on the bullet train they made a stop where a familiar face boarded.
After stumbling with their things that had come across Vix Silvertail the Frecia Academy of Magic assistant to the headmaster. They learned that she was on a mission to go after Cecil alone. It was her first mission on her own and she wanted to ensure she did a good job. However, she had reached a dead end to her trail and was worried that she was going to become a failure. After speaking with the group it everyone came to the conclusion to help each other out in their quests. Vix would help them take out the creature in the hopes of finding a lead while the others would assist her in locating figuring out what is going on with Cecil. It appears that each of their goals were intertwined with one another.
Erato and Shiloh had a brief moment with one another to talk about Erato's concern for his friend who had succumbed to the illness that the other Shooting Star Pirates had. Curiosity struck with the potential cure being found in the book that Shiloh had brought with them. With some small time, the book was examined while Jo'Han suffered from light motion sickness during the trip.
After some time had passed the group managed to reach the fortress and was able to crack the bottle of the ship open. What was revealed was a ship covered in coral and barnacles. What was peculiar about this ship was that the ship was alive. It was some type of otherworldly creature that had a form of sentience. It had the capability of communicating with the others with the help of Jo'han. They were able to learn that the creature was able to sail for them but the group still sought out some, men worthy of the sea.

She awoke and the two shared a heartfelt moment with each other as she explained how scared she was to be away from the academy and on her own.
