As their journey required them to reach Mount Ilios by sea, Samael sought the help of Trisha and requested her assistance in sailing there. Trisha, who had always admired Elara and her friends, readily agreed to help them and promised to provide them with the best vessel in her fleet.
Samael turned to Trisha, a look of earnestness on his face. "Trisha, we're on a quest to find the Land of Wisdom, and we need to sail to Mount Ilios. Could you please help us with your sailing expertise?"
Trisha looked at him thoughtfully before nodding in agreement. "Of course, Samael. I'll make sure we reach Mount Ilios safely."
Samael turned to Trisha, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. "How much do you need in gold to set sail?" he asked, reaching for his pouch.
But Trisha shook her head with a smile. "No need to pay this time," she said, her voice warm with appreciation. "Consider it a token of our gratitude for saving our city. It's the least we can do."
Samael looked at Trisha, a mix of surprise and gratitude evident in his eyes. "Thank you, Trisha," he said, touched by her generosity. "We are honored by your offer."
Trisha smiled warmly.
The group thanked Trisha and set about making preparations for their journey to Mount Ilios. As they loaded their supplies onto the ship, Elara couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building within her. The prospect of uncovering the secrets of Ylanh, the Land of Wisdom, filled her with a sense of purpose she had not felt in a long time.
As the ship pulled away from the docks and sailed into the open sea, Elara watched as the city of Thalassia Water City slowly faded into the distance. She knew that this journey would be full of dangers and challenges, but she was determined to see it through to the end. With her friends by her side and the wind in their sails, she felt that nothing was impossible.
As the ship sailed towards Mount Ilios, the sound of a crew member's voice carried through the air. He was singing a sea shanty, a song about the Lady Grace, a ship known for her beauty and grace on the high seas
Come gather 'round and hear me tale,
Of a ship that's sturdy, strong and hale,
The Lady Grace, a legend known,
Her tales of the sea have widely grown.
Heave ho, me hearties, and set the sail,
We'll ride the waves, and weather the gale,
On Lady Grace, we'll journey far,
To lands uncharted, under the stars.
Her hull of oak, so sturdy and true,
A tribute to the craftsmen who
Built her strong and built her well,
A ship to brave the ocean's swell.
Heave ho, me hearties, and set the sail,
We'll ride the waves, and weather the gale,
On Lady Grace, we'll journey far,
To lands uncharted, under the stars.
Her sails, like wings, they catch the breeze,
A sight that fills our hearts with ease,
As we ride the swell and sail the tide,
On Lady Grace, we take our stride.
Heave ho, me hearties, and set the sail,
