The sudden appearance of the whale group disrupted Archbishop Brandon's plans. Even with the mermaids beneath the ship, he dropped the specially made fishnet.
An eerie aura enveloped the fleet. The sea breeze became wildly erratic, and the ocean was no longer calm, with waves churning. As the group of whales neared, the distant dark clouds also seemed to draw closer.
Seeing the familiar whales, Marvin roughly guessed the situation, as the Whales' Ancestor Cessida ruled the Dead Sea Region; encountering them here was not strange.
What was odd...
Why had the mermaids led them to the Dead Sea Region?
Could it be that the mermaids knew that Whales' Ancestor Cessida would help them?
"Arch...Archbishop! There's something on the backs of the whales!"
