Aldis was tidying his room and getting ready for the following day. The ship from Great Iron would have come to take the cargo and allow him to go after his quest. He took a box and throw all his belonging into the sea. He saw everything sinking in the raging sea that he was sure it would have swallowed the whole city. Looking up Aldis saw a metallic creature approaching, a giant zeppelin. The rules were simple, so he went back to strike the bell to warn all the other monks. What was going on? He thought. The flying vehicle landed safe and sound in a cloud of steam. A young pirate came out of it followed by two men. He was wearing his blue long jacket and his dark boots. The captain wore a very large hat on his head.

"Hello, my fellow monks." He said.

The chief monk approached to him.

"Be our guest, prince of the skies." He said bowing a little.

Thorns did the same smiling a little, knowing that tradition didn't make sense. Few minutes after they were drinking tea in a wooden room.

"I came here because somebody stole my diary and I gave you a copy of it in case this would have happened." Said the captain.

"Very good." The chief monk said closing his eyes like a cat.

He whispered something to a man close to him who suddenly stood up and left.

"I have a favour to ask in return."

The pirate laughed like there was anything he could do to help the monks cause.

"I am all ears." He replied amused.

"There is a young monk who had a vision and would like to go to Great Iron to find a girl. Would you take him safe and sound to the temple in the middle of the city?"

"You know. Lately I had trouble with a girl, so I am willing to help him. At least is one girl less making trouble around."

"I take that as a yes. To keep our relationship in the best ways I will give you a box of seaweeds that grow only here. Their property are rare and various. I'll let Aldis explain them to you and your men."

The captain nodded raising his small cup in sign of agreement. The monk that left before came back holding a book and giving it to the pirate.

"Finally." He said opening it and reading the pages filled with useful annotations of his life above the clouds.

"Won't you tell me now, about it?" Asked Ambhara very impatient.

"Not here. Come with us to my sister tavern, it's few steps from here." Cedric replied.

They walked fast and once they reached the place they saw something wasn't right. Cedric completely forgotten Goldmouth and his men. The inside was completely messy and when they got in they saw two giant men who were menacing Billy. Goldmouth slowly turned to see who came in.

"Alright, finally." He said happy.

"We couldn't find the woman and we find his sibling. What a lucky day. Where are my crystals?"

Cedric looked at is satchel and remembered why he went on the solitary peak.

"Just calm down and leave the boy alone. I'll give you what you want." Said the forger.

He extract the dark bowl and nodded in the cloaked man direction. He slowly took out the van and calmly put his hat on a table. The men left Billy alone who stared at the scene.

"This is not a crystal!" Said Goldmouth pointing at the object in Cedric's hands.

He poured some water on the bowl and then stroke followed by his friend. In few seconds the rich and fat man became a statue of ice.

"You are up next." Said Cedric to the two men behind.

Ambhara saw the scene and put a hand before her mouth. How is it possible? She thought.
