After the incident with the titan lobster, Marcus and Mrazivý's voyage on the Ascension was relatively peaceful.
They spent their days enjoying the activities the ship had and conversing with a few aquatics they had made like Domovoi.
Overall, it was a relaxing time for them, and things were going rather uneventfully until one evening right at sunset, something unexpected happened.
A soft but all-encompassing melody enveloped the ship.
It was a truly beautiful song, and at first Mrazivý and Marcus believed that it was coming from Recha, but when they felt that it was trying to put them under a status effect, they realized this was likely not the case.
All around them the people that had been eating dinner alongside them began to fall into a daze.
It was similar to the power that Recha had demonstrated when they first met her on the ship, but over a much grander scale.
