*Clatter Clatter* Both Der and Jerigh opened their eyes in unison, and turned to look at the dark side of the room. There, they saw a man completely tied by numerous chains to the metallic walls. "Daniel.. It’s better if you see this.." Said Der through a wisp of sound essence. In response to Der’s words, Daniel turned around as slowly as possible, and looked in the same direction where his friends were looking, but from where he sitting, the area appeared too dark. Despite that, his eyes…-

"Like this one?" Said Der while holding in his hand a pendant that matched Daniel’s description, causing both Jerigh and Daniel turned to look at him with faces contorted in surprise and doubt. "Where did you.." muttered Daniel while moving his hand towards pendant, and grabbing it. "The second in command. He didn’t leave with the captain, and when I told him I was going to look for you, he gave me a map, and this pendant.. He said they could be useful.." Responded Der with just as much surprise…

"It should be around here.." muttered Daniel while looking at the pitch black corridor. The corridor that extended before Daniel was different from the ones in which he had previous been in. They were now in the bellows of the ship, and not near the cabins anymore. Everything that could be found here, were a few isolated cabins, and numerous utility room which only a few members of the crew had business being in. The corridors themselves were extremely narrow, and on their metallic walls, numerous tubes…

"..Here goes nothing." Said Daniel before tightening his hold on the sound sphere, and with a sudden twist of his wrist, pulling it out of the formation. This was only possible because he had a key to operate it, otherwise, the formation would have had the same defensive power that the internal defenses of the ship had. As a sixth stage immortal cultivator, he would have never been able to forcibly break a something that was supposed to resist the attack of anyone below the eight rank. After Daniel…

After noticing the edge of what looked like a safe, hidden behind a drawer, Daniel approached the area, and pulled the piece of furniture away from the wall. It was only then, that he found out that the metallic bar wasn’t part of a safe, but was in fact the edge of a glass case which contained the spare key to control the helm. With joy beaming from his face, he quickly opened the small glass panel behind which the key was stored, and took it. He then walked out of the cabin, and along with Jerigh…

"Empty.." Muttered the middle aged woman after entering the bridge. "There isn’t even blood.. There is just nobody here." "I was not expecting for them to be operating normally anyway.." Said Daniel with a matter-of-fact tone. He then added while looking around "Where is the sound sphere?" Instead of responding, the woman turned to look at Daniel with a face marked with anxiousness, and said "No.. you don’t understand.. If the captain isn’t here.. then.." She then let her voice die in her…

One step at a time, Der and the two young girls made their way on the metallic catwalk. They now were only a few hundred meters into the room that contained the water tanks, and still had a long way to go. What they weren’t aware of, was that something was lurking in the shadows.. The entire length of the room was of a bit more than two kilometers, and while they would have needed about half an hour of casual walking, they now needed more than three times as much due to their slowed down pace.…

"What happened?!" asked the girl with an anxious tone. She had noticed what had happened to the drawer that Daniel had tried to shift into his pocket dimension, and she couldn’t help but think that the same could have happened to her if Daniel hadn’t stopped in time. If that wasn’t enough, she could feel the pulling of the two different powers.. The experience was painful and horrifying.. It was as if every fiber of her body was being pulled in two different directions at the same time. Daniel…

"Do you have any idea where Der could have gone?" Daniel asked to Jerigh through a wisp of sound essence, receiving only a simple shake of Jerigh’s head as a response. He then stopped to think for a minute, and started to evaluate the situation. The ship was still moving, and they hadn’t stopped, because otherwise, they would have felt it, and an announcement would have been sent out to the rest of the passengers if they did. That meant that they were still moving towards their original…

On the side of the ship opposite to the area where the cabins were, was the ship’s center of entertainment. This area contained the theater, the gambling room, the various restaurants, and even a few halls inside which people could exchange their objects with the items they required, or look through the items possessed by other individuals. Due to the length of the travels, this area would usually be the most lively of the entire ship. Everyone that wouldn’t close themselves in their cabins to…
