The next day they left the ship graveyard behind. Nothing more happened after the only attack of the calamity and the undead simply watched them as far as they could see.
The ship moved forward with no more problems in sight until at one point Nathan felt the ship stop.
"Are we there yet?" Nathan asked, not understanding why they had stopped. At no time had they announced that they would soon arrive, so he didn't know what was going on.
Nathan stepped out onto the deck and saw that the crewmen were organizing all the remaining supplies as if they planned to move them somewhere.
Nathan approached one of the crewmen seeing that he was finishing organizing a couple of barrels and asked. "What are you all doing?"
The crewman saluted him respectfully and replied. "Didn't anyone tell you? We're changing ships"
"Changing ships?" asked Nathan with a frown. "We're in the middle of the ocean, why would we change ships?"
The crewman scratched the back of his neck with some embarrassment. "So no one told you" The man looked around seeing that no one was looking at him. "Follow me"
Nathan nodded and followed the crewman to the bow. The crewman leaned on the railing and pointed ahead. "That's why we are changing ships"
Nathan followed the crewman's finger and saw that a few dozen meters in front of them there was another ship. This one was gigantic, it was a large aircraft carrier made of steel, with several fighters on its deck and some missile turrets.
Nathan was amazed by the carrier but when he saw what the crewman was actually pointing at he was speechless. "What's that?"
"Aside from the ship graveyard, this is another reason we couldn't get out of the archipelago for years" Enarys said, surprising Nathan with her arrival.
Nathan looked at Enarys in surprise and then looked straight ahead again. "How could there be such a thing?"
Enarys walked over to the railing and looked at the crewman, who shivered at her gaze and quickly went to work. Then Enarys leaned against the railing and looked out at the ocean.
"We don't know. One day the water just opened up and separated us from the world" explained Enarys.
In front of them, there was a strip of almost twenty meters where the ocean had parted, creating a void to the depths. Tens of kilometers of fall to the underwater floor.
Nathan thought to himself in the several fighters on the aircraft carrier. "Couldn't they get through the air?"
Enarys denied. "There is an invisible barrier that prevents ships or planes from passing. Only people and small inanimate objects can pass"
From where they were they couldn't see the separation properly, but from what the crewman had told him, they were going to have to get across somehow.
Suddenly one of Enarys' guards approached and whispered something in her ear before leaving. Enarys looked at Nathan. "We are ready"
Nathan nodded and took one last look at the carrier before returning to the center part of the deck next to Enarys.
There, the crewmen had lowered all the supplies into one of the several lifeboats. Enarys and Nathan went down into one and one of the crewmen began to row closer to the large crevice.
'I've never seen anything like this before...' Amelia whispered mentally as she looked at the crack in the ocean that stretched to the horizon.
Nathan nodded as they got closer and closer. Finally, when they reached almost ten meters from the crevasse, he noticed that on the other side of the crevasse there were about five boats waiting for them.
"How are we going to cross?" asked Nathan, to which Enarys simply smiled and gave an indication to the crewman who was with them. He nodded and raised his hand, signaling to those on the other side.
Soon, having received the signal. From the other ship several people dressed in military uniforms stood up and stretched their arms out in front of them.
Nathan felt slightly the essence of the military and soon saw how a bridge of water began to extend from one side of the crevice to the other.
"...Are we going across that bridge?" asked Nathan.
The bridge was no more than a meter wide, enough for a person to pass without any problems. The only drawback was that it was made of water and didn't look at all reliable.
"Afraid?" asked Enarys with a smirk.
"I'm simply cautious" Nathan sighed.
Enarys laughed lightly and in front of him took a step out of the boat. Nathan frowned as he watched Enarys stand in the water and begin to walk towards the crevice.
Nathan watched as Enarys approached the edge before stopping and looking back. "I'll wait for you on the other side" Saying that, she continued walking and slowly began to cross the water bridge.
Nathan swallowed discreetly. He was not afraid of heights, he had even fallen down a castle dozens of meters. But crossing a water bridge with a void hundreds of kilometers below him was not exactly a fun thing to do.
Nathan stepped out of the boat and stepped into the water. Even if it was moving, it was as if there was an invisible bridge centimeters below the surface. He put the second foot in and looked ahead.
"It's just a few meters" Saying that, Nathan began to walk along the invisible bridge until he reached the edge of the cliff. His curiosity led him to look down only to be surprised by the view.
'It's a bit scary but I can't deny that it's magnificent' Nathan thought. It was as if two waterfalls were falling to infinity, where at the bottom nothing but darkness could be seen.
Nathan started to walk and in a matter of seconds crossed to the other side, where Enarys was waiting for him, sitting in one of the boats. "Fun, isn't it?"
Nathan sighed and sat down in one of the boats ignoring the gaze of the several military men holding the water bridge. "Something I wouldn't want to repeat"
Nathan could fight calamity to the death, but the ocean was something he had a due respect for.
