The Next Step

"Welcome back, Lady Siv." Eydis beams as Siv approaches her on the docks. 

"Thank you, chief." She greets her back.

"I take it your mission was successful." Eydis asks.

"Yes, it was." Siv answers. "Although, we have lost a few men in the process, sadly."

"During war, sacrifice is necessary sometimes." The chief pats Siv on the shoulder.

"We also brought some guests. They are pirates that-"

"Shite." Hulda falls to the ground with a loud thud, getting everyone's attention. "What is this?"

"Are you alright?" Colby rushes to her.

"No, my head is spinning I can't even open my eyes." Hulda whines.

"This happens sometimes, when someone sails for a long time." Vahva who was walking behind them explains. "I believe it is called Mal de Debarquement."

"How do you cure it?" Hulda asks, her eyes still closed.

"There is no known remedy, unfortunately." Vahva shrugs.

"Oh my." Eydis utters.
