The Ship to Edgeheaven 2

Within a few hours, the ship had left Eldoris waters and entered the deep sea. Like the ship Damian had traveled on before, this one also carried mercenaries prepared to defend against any threats from the sea or sky. The sun had finally risen, and most passengers were enjoying the morning light, basking in its warmth.

Among the notable figures on board were one second-ranker mercenary leader, two of Princess Evrin's Enlightened-ranked guards—seemingly leaving their first-rank counterparts behind—and two mysterious knights. The ship hosted an impressive number of second-rankers: five in total, or seven if Sam and Einar were included. This made the vessel arguably the safest—or the most dangerous—passenger ship on the sea.
