I for one am grateful that I did not have to climb that volcanic mountain. Of course they would have acquired a litter for me, nevertheless one can tell that the gods are at war here.

The sooner we are away from Posidons wrath the better. Some are very dissapointed. The Lady Ariadne for one. It is said they are many fine paintings there and she wished to see them. We will find plenty on Crete I tell her and she reminds me that she herself worked to restore them.

The Lady Reylari will not tell us where we are heading next. I can only pray that this time we will all be allowed to go ashore.
