In Scuttlegarde, they can find the next piece of the Cradle in Nick's old home, Scuttlegarde.

Morning comes as everyone tends to the Black Dagger as it soared through the clouds.

After a few minutes of cleaning, Dagmar appeared out of the Mess Hall with lunch for everyone to enjoy.

Jordan, with his shirt tied around his waist, helped Dagmar hand out the sandwiches.

"Enjoy," she said.

Jordan gave Dagmar a smile and a nod as he took a hand-wrapped sandwich.

He tossed one sandwich to Marcus and one Trevor.

As Trevor was about to take a bite out of his sandwich, a Sparey came out from the sky, swooped in, and grabbed his sandwich.

"Damn it!" he screamed.

The Sparey hawked at Trevor and gulped his sandwich down, letting out an enormous burp.

It flew away laughing.

"Since when do Sparey's eat sandwiches?!" Trevor exclaimed.

He sat down in defeat until Marcus split his sandwich off its ends, giving one piece to Trevor.

"Thanks, Marcus," Trevor said.

Marcus nodded as he got up from the floor and left into his quarters.

Andrion looked over at the map on the table, plotting their destination.

Nick walked over to the table next to him, examing the multiple photos of the various castles and strongholds.

"Whatcha got over here?" he asked.

Andrion handed Nick a photo of a woman with a crown in her hand.

"That's your mother?" Andrion asked him.

Nick nodded.

"Let's talk," Andrion said to Nick.

The two walked over to the bow of the ship.

"Nick, are you sure you are equipped to handle this mission?" Andrion asked.

Without knowing it, Andrion could read Nick's face.

"Andrion, I am ready for this mission. If you can't trust me, then you can leave me on the ship," Nick answered.

Andrion nodded slowly.

"Alright then, I trust you, but if you slip up or cause the team any harm, it's your ass," he replied.

Nick nodded as he returned to the main deck of the ship.

Hours go by until they reach Scuttlegarde's Airspace. 

They then parked the ship on the outskirts of the city walls.

As everyone geared up for the road, Andrion summoned them for debriefing.
