How could there be a storm?
But Loren, Mars, and others took no chances. They immediately organized the crew to lower the sails and secure the crates and other items on the deck with ropes.
Aivar's predictions had proven accurate during the return journey from Denlor Port, so no one doubted him anymore.
William wasn't surprised either. A person with the divine power of the Lord of Storms predicting a storm was not unusual.
Seeing that he wasn't needed on the deck, William avoided the busy sailors and returned to the cabin.
The weather at sea was always unpredictable, with fierce winds, heavy rains, and towering waves being challenges that all ships had to face.
The sailors suddenly noticed a dark cloud forming on the southern horizon, quickly advancing toward the Mermaid.
Everyone quickened their pace, with experienced hands leading the novices in securing the ship, trying to make it as safe as possible before the storm hit.
