"It's so hot today." Magnus complained. He placed the last piece of the luggage onto the yacht and jumped in. It was a beautiful sunny day with not a cloud in sight. The week of training had gone by rather quickly and learning new things differently helped. Thali had made him a ribbon engraved with gold jewels to tie his hair up. The white and brown yacht swayed side to side, Mortale making sure that it didn't hit the other boats at the dock with gentle rearing.
Thali was now wearing a brown overall with a white turtleneck underneath. Her hair was pulled back into a singular braid and a pair of goggles sat silently on her head. A pair of brown boots paired with golden straps placed on her feet. A large map was placed in her left hand and a compass in the right. Mortale was wearing a large beige turtleneck jumper with white cotton pants, and a pair of brown boots. His hair was swooped to one side. Elvia was in her human form and was wearing a yellow and white sundress. Her hair was let down and she was wearing a large beach hat and a pair of sandals.
Magnus had stripped down to a white Hawaiian shirt with a pair of shorts. A white vest underneath the shirt. He had a pair of sandals sitting comfortably on his feet.
They all got on and started the journey to Aroma.

The ocean breeze blew over the group of four. Magnus was standing by the boat's railing watching the Caribbean blue ocean with longing in his eyes. He wondered if his mother was also summoned or taken straight to the heavens. A heavy feeling started to form in chest but disappeared when a concerned Elvia placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong? " She gently asked. Orange eyes boring into his green ones. "Nothing, just missing home, that's all." She cracked a smile prompting him to smile. "I understand. It's scary being in an unfamiliar place." Magnus nodded his head, his eyes following the flying fish that was jumping in and out of the water. He wondered if these four had homes to return to or they stuck together to survive.
"Mortale, steer the boat more to the right will ya! Elvia, can you place the luggage inside?! It's going to rain in a bit! " Thali instructed, her face and tone turning serious. Magnus looked at the perfectly clear sky with confusion before looking at Thali. "Rain?" Mortale snickered at the red head's clueless expression. "Thali can smell the change in weather. She's says the atmosphere gets this damp smell when it's going to rain." Elvia explain. She sat down on a chair and opened a book, holding the top of her beach at. "She's both strong and smart." The fairy concluded.

"Stop it Elvia~You're making me blush~." Magnus chuckled at Thali's flustered state. Thali was correct, droplets of water starting falling from the sky before coming down heavily. The sky started to turn gray and the clouds turned dark. Mortale steered carefully as the waters started to turn wild, a look of pure concentration on his face.
Magnus sat cross legged on the ground by Elvia's chair, not minding the rain pouring down on him. The yacht then started to rock side to side, scaring the group. The dark water before them started to move upwards, as if something was coming out. Something did. The group stared ahead in mortified shock as a large serpent-like monster came out of the ocean. Its teeth are sharp with tentacle-like whiskers on his face. Its skin was a slimy green with neon green lining across his back. Eyes snake like and a bright yellow.
"A sea beast!" Mortal yelled out surprised.
Magnus got into a praying position with his hands clasped together. Tears fell down his face as he mumbled to himself.
"We're going to die. We're all going to die."
