The waves turn violent, smashing into the side of the ship. The makeshift repairs performed on the hull begin to rattle as the ship moves violently up and down. And yet, looking down, Blarg would realize something was amiss. A creature of the sea, he knew much of how it moved and how it functioned. These waves weren't rolling along a sea current, they weren't even simply pushed by the wind. No great airstream was manipulating these rough tides. They were ripples, moving outwards from something massive. And whatever it was, it was getting closer every moment.

Markus, meanwhile, inspects the situation with his particular expertise. The weather here was a mere reflection, the heavy winds a mere premonition. Both he and Eclipse could sense the approaching presence, a magical being of great power. A kami of the third order, a mere two steps separated from the Gods themselves. Markus could feel the power of the storm echoed in the distance, an ancient servant of Raiden given new life. The furious storm that had flung him away echoed in it's movements. And whilst he might be able to combat such a beast on equal footing, there was no doubt it's rage would destroy the boat they rode in. And if he was forced to fly right next to a being made of tornadoes, he would find himself at a sorry disadvantage.

Mithias himself saw something stranger yet. Although oblivious to the distant magical presence, and clueless on the topic of oceans, his assumption of a hallucination had not been based on living plants alone. For as he looked around he could see strange beings all around, floating and flying, interred into the very air and waves. Tiny glowing beings with a variety of forms, magical spirits so tiny they flew under the arcane radar. Spirits of woodworking, miniature insect gods, spirits of water currents and sunlight, spirits of good health, poverty, luck, and happiness. They seemed to be everywhere, in every aspect of life. And yet nobody else seemed to see them, these tiny magical creatures.
