Just off the coast of Norway, a strange phenomenon was taking place. Water was being displaced as if a ship was moving through it, despite the sea appearing empty.
Naturally, Elora had reactivated the invisibility sigil, that kept them from being noticed by tidal tempests and similar sea creatures that desired to eat both them and their ship.
This gave Erik and his companions the freedom to make use of his dimension, rather than stuffing them all into the cramped boat. For this purpose, Erik had learned how to lock the portal to his dimension to an object, rather than have it simply float in the air.
Thus, the portal floated in the ship's main living room, while the ship itself was empty. At least, mostly empty. Erik had ordered Nora and Anne to share the load of steering the ship, after having gotten some lessons from Emily, who steered the ship during their trip from London to Kirkenes.
