The next few days were spent relaxing and catching up with the family while awaiting the window of relitive quite on the busy docks when the crystal alter would be transferred from the Odin's hold to that of the Shadow Rose. Once it was safely on board the Shadow Rose, the Odin left for Starsfall City, while Elric flew south carrying Queen Jade Thorn Rose on his back.
For added security Aquatica was going to act as an escort for the Shadow Rose. But she was just useing the escort as an excuse to visit the dwarven City-state, as she wanted to try dwarven food. She was to busy getting distracted by Artro when she was there last to try some. That and as a sea dragon, she did not exactly have any money on her normally. It was not like she did not have any as Elric and Artro both gave her a few hundred gold and silver coins to spend, but she only ever carried coins around with her when she took on the form of a mermaid to walk around the city or visit the castle.
