The merfolk had taken the longest shifts when it came to defending the ship. Their job had been of the utmost importance. The main reason being the integrity of the ships. They were under the water scouting the stocks, trees, and other dangers that the ship might face while traveling.
The mages had been working closely with their signals. On top of this, they had been the guiding force when it came to the earth and water mages expanding or smoothing some of the river banks so that the ship could fit. At a few trunks in the river, there had even been streams slightly diverged to better flow in to the river.
"But that small brook beaver really sent you for a trip! I wasn't sure that you would manage to catch it before it got back to the hole it had dug itself in the bank!" Leon and his merfolk soldiers were laughing a lot. They seemed to be enjoying the trip even though they had been working hard.
