After the whole situation with Rowan's curse, and finally putting the white witch Diona to rest, you and Mire decide to do some traveling.

Honestly, you kind of need this. You aren't exactly built for how much stress you've been under lately, and you really need the break after everything.

Plus, you and Mire really haven't been together very long. This will be good for both of you.

Currently, you're out at sea, on a large ship. The captain is an old friend of yours, and was happy to take the two of you on the trip she and her crew were going on, even though Mire is a mimic.

Speaking of, you had been looking for Mire. He wasn't in your room when you got up. You find him watching the ocean, leaning against the side of the boat.
