"Dude!" Dagmar cries as they whoosh through the air! /"I KNOW!" Siv had grabbed her shoulder and BOTH got taken but she grins excitedly as they streak though the sky!

"This is magic!" She laughs.

"Oh it's like the ship, but not... I think it's veiled, thank Aegir. Means most won't notice us, at least most mortals...but we're going faster even than the Kestrel! this is WICKED cool... I can see Baron Kelean's hold up ahead..." She points "Oooo hope we don't slam into a griffin."

"I wanna meet a griffin. Baron Kelean's hold? Another hold!? Cool!"

Dagmar plants her hands against the bubble walls, peering out with a grin.

"Oh yeah, every baron has a hold some small, the baron's more into ravens than griffins but lately... " A raven smacksagainst the globe "SORRY SORRY," Siv says to the dazed bird which slips off and flies cursing"Bloody tourists"

"Oh I hope it doesn't bitch to Bancroft. " She pouts

She laughs some more. "It talked! This is like Harry Potter!"

"Hah, I suppose it is, or like Wrinkle in time or..oh it's just neat." She says "And we ware doing sevveral knots and differently... oh we're over the ocean!"

Indeed, the waves off the Jersey shore come and go...

as they hover in the blue over the blue

"Oh, shiiiiiittttt..."

"Siv, lookit..."

"I know," Siv looks so happy she might cry "Tis the ocean, mi old playmate... HI ocean!" She waves..

"I went to the shore once..."

"Not OVER i..."

Dagmar sees something as they lower over the waves... a great horn like a unicorn's bursting through the water

"NARWHAL!"

"Oh come on it can't be a..." She turns, "It is! Oh this is a good omen! We're gonna be fine!" And Siv seems to believe it

The Narwhal is chimerical and speaks "Becareful! Megdalon trailers inspire!"

As they whiz past

"Megdalon..." Siv says brow knitting

"Is that a dinosaur?"

"Sharknado?"

"Oh, wait, that's the big mega shark from ancient time, they're making a movie about it and bet SOMe dreamers are wondering..." The water before them ripples, the size of a large house

"You ever see Jaws? We're gonna need a bigger bubble..."

"UP UP UP UP!" siv bangs the egresss glass as the ...THING, the whall sized Carivore Fish OPENS wide and rises up to try to engulf them!

"....oh shit!" Her eyes widen, but she laughs.

"UUPPP ye keelhauling bilge sucking.." And the sound of TEETH the size of tents clashing, and just missing them.

Dag lets out a STREAM of expletives.

the two wilders learn a lot from each other vocabulary wise. And it keeps going.

"You think we'll go to England?"

"No no, w'ere hugging Concordia's coast, see off to Starboard? Not sure where we're going but we're making grand time"

"What's a star board?"

"Port's left, Starboard's right." Siv says "I forget not everyone knows that"

And whisk zoom...zip they head towards... are there chimerical fireworks still lingering over that harbor? ROCKets red glare! boossh Bombs bursting in air... the sphere rocks backa nd forth as it continues

"DUDE."

"Well, you wanted adventure!" Siv says, and breaks out laughing but covers her ears.

"Yes! See? GOING places! Not just the lodge!"

The Egress ball thingee weaves through the flares and explosions while the star spangled banner is beaten out by the booms like drums

And then the music changes....

"Good morning baltimore.... " the very near dreaming seems to sing "The Countess rules here so you know the score! She's rules this world of fantasy! You'll do fine as long as you agree! Welcome to Baltimore! Welcome to her shadowed shore! You're going to land as you leave the sea! Mind your mannersbefore her excellency! "

Siv says "is that the ship singing?" She taps the bubble "or the fief?"

"Baltimore? Already? Man, that is a fast bubble..."

Below them, they see a theatre, grand and ominous and dark... Siv's eyes widen "if Flying monkey's come out, I'm no gonna lie. I'm gonna scream like a girl"

"Oh, if it's a witch, you just toss water..."

"You haven't seen THAT movie?"

"I saw it" defensive, "It's the monkeys okay? I've met real monkeys, they bite"

"They would. They seem like obnoxious little shits..."
