Stone of Farewell[]
Gan Itai finds Miriamele and Cadrach who have stowed away on the Eadne Cloud. Though she does not sense them to be a threat, she informs them that her duty is to the Eadne Cloud and that she must report them to the ships master. Said master, Earl Aspitis, takes the princess and the monk on as his guests. Later, the Niskie approaches Aspitis alone and tells him that she is disturbed by the rumblings of a great storm that will soon form. The captain sluffs this warning off and commands the kilpa singer to return to her post.
