The palace of the mad god, picture fairytale castle but soaked in ink, blow dried and bloodied to the point where the white looks a sparkly grey-red. Now picture it floating high above the clouds in a secluded area no one would find it in unless they were looking for it and now add some magic mist and You have my house. Big drafty and secluded.

I woke up on the floor, I had rolled off my cot I stood the ship was at a standstill, or maybe that was my morning brain not being able to feel the ship swaying I stood stumbling out of the small lower deck and blinking the sleep out of my eyes and looked around the deck I could see Kris still at the wheel even though we were at a stop I yawned rubbing my eyes and walking up to kris

"Hey," I said

"Hi," Kris replied

"Did you stay awake all night?" I asked she grinned

"Yep!" she said I blinked raising my eyebrows

"Why?" I asked

"How else would we still be alive?" she asked rhetorically I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again

"I- I have no clue-" I said finally looking around, a thick mist was around the ship I couldn't see anything outside of the ship

"Where are we?" I asked

"We're at a certain god's palace," she said

"When everyone else is awake we'll go in," anon said from behind me I jumped

"Gah! Where did you come from?!!" I yelped she shrugged

"Couldn't sleep, I stayed up all night waiting for someone to get up." she said

"Jesus christ-" I said,

"you guys are up too?" Vintners voice said begrudgingly

"You seem grumpier than usual," I said

"Well, when your Ex friend won't forgive you it typically pisses you off." he grumbled I rolled my eyes

"He'll get over it eventually vinter, don't close yourself off just because he's slow to trust you." I said rolling my eyes he glowered at me

"You don't know that. And you know what else you don't know? you don't know me. You have no idea what happened," he growled

"If you're going to fight, can you not do it on my ship? I just cleaned the floor." Kris said as if blood on the deck of her airship was the worst possible thing that could happen right now.

"Shove off." vinter growled I rolled my eyes

"Yeah you're right. I don't know you. But I'm good at reading people. He acts angry because he didn't get to be angry at you when whatever happened, happened but he still cares about you. He doesn't care anymore, he's just trying to figure out how to apologize. Now stop blaming yourself and move on." I growled half at him and half at myself, he looked stunned but the shock leaked off his face and was replaced with a halfhearted glare as he walked down the stairs to the lower deck. I realized what I had said was laced with my personal experiences. . . I shuddered trying not to think about it to much, might bring back some bad memories. . . I sat on the stairs leading to the captains wheel and waited for the others to wake up.
