Lilians flying ship sped forward at great speeds as it entered the Great Desert. John had asked his master to follow his fathers instructions on where to pilot it, but had not elaborated further.
While Lilian was curious as to what was going on, she could tell that John did not want to talk about it. She accepted John's request, and allowed Barden to tell her where to take the ship.
The interior of the ship was quite large, and the hundred members of the Fenix Clan were gathered in several groups, discussing the ship and everything else with great excitement. Ryan, John's lifetime friend, was also on the ship, as he was to be the Fenix Clan's foremost disciple after John.
He wanted to talk to John on the trip, but could tell his mind was occupied with something, and decided to let him be.
