William was back in the present, aboard the ship heading towards the island where they would supposedly find one of the ingredients for the king's antidote: the fire blossom flower.
Of course, the journey was still quite long - about 12 to 13 days. It could take longer depending on the conditions they encountered. There was also the chance of encountering a powerful magical beast and everyone perishing on this journey.
The likelihood of encountering a creature strong enough to take on all the sailors, the captain, and Seraphina was quite low, but it still existed.
'Before I go out, I should change my clothes again...' William thought as he glanced at his attire.
He needed to maintain a low profile, so he had to wear the same clothes he was wearing before, or people would notice.
He changed, left his quarters, and made his way to the upper deck of the ship. There, he encountered the fog that Captain Hemlock had mentioned earlier.
