The Moniyan Empire has been warned with a suprised attack, but Silvana has an idea that can save everyone. Harith must go on a journey to find the 5 sacred elemental orbs to save the Land of Dawn.
While navigating the sea aimlessly, Claude explains to the trio about their little detour and why they couldn't return so suddenly to the Eruditio Land. The pirates would surely be tracking the currents emitted by the boat, so they had to get away as quickly and as far as possible. Everyone knew that Claude was right, they had to keep the defense in the foreground, the only bad thing was the lost time that they could consume by navigating aimlessly.
As Cyclops and Claude chatted about pirates and future situations that could happen if they met again, Harley just stared into the void of the ocean. His mind kept thinking about what else could happen during this adventure, it was already too much pain, not only physical but also emotional. Seeing Harith suffer every day, because of him, because of having to save him and keep him alive just because he is that Magical Vessel, was starting to get into his head. "Was it worth it?" "How much until he can't get up again?" "What if..." these were all questions inside of Harley's mind. Like the depth of the ocean, Harley was sinking into his own thoughts.

Cyclops walks over to Harley and brings him back from him thoughts. They both smile and Cyclops explains to him about the alternate route they would be taking and about a plan to have in case they meet the pirates again. Trying to focus on the dialogue with Cyclops, Harley averts his gaze several times to Harith, just to check that he's okay. Thanks to the Lord, Dexter was aware of the moniyan warrior at all times. The only thing Cyclops could do is support Harley with a nice pat on the shoulder and a consoling smile.
Claude was very attentive to his surroundings, although they were already very far from the pirates, he had a bad feeling. He was trying to remember why he had to be very careful.
Claude's memories
Kimmy - Are you even listening?
Claude - Yes, yes (keeps packing) Ocean. Big. Dangerous. Octopuses. Got it.
Kimmy - Ugh (rolls eyes) You only listen to that?
Claude - Babe! Calm down, please. I need to hurry up... They could be in danger.
Kimmy - You will be in danger if you don't remember these details.
Claude - Ok, ok! Tell me again, I'll listen, I promise.
