I heard Mea shouting something, but her voice was lost on the wind
whistling past us.  Zarth's singing did little to help the carry of her
message.  I saw her ship through my ability to detect the lingering heat
in objects.  I noted the shape of her ship, standing out against the cold
waters of the Iliac Bay like an orc in a fairy circle.  I alight gently
on the ground before her ship.  Seeing that the ship was too small for me
to fit, I crawled up the back and took up residence on the command deck,
leaving enough room for Mea to reach the wheel.  She looked up at me and
said that the trip would take a few hours, as the winds were favorable.
I smiled, inadvertently showing quite a few teeth and startling Mea,
saying "With my wings, I can shorten that."

As soon as everyone was aboard, I began to beat my wings.  I gripped the
wood, accidently puncturing holes in the hull, but they were far above
the waterline, so I used them as claw holds.  I heard the wood groan as I
began pushing the ship forward.  I turned my head to Mea and said "I owe
you a new ship.  By the time this trip is over, the command deck will be
too loose to stay on."  I stretched my neck and grabbed my pack in my
mouth.  I dropped it at her feet and told her to open it.

She found a small sack of Soverian platinum coins, more than enough for a
large ship and a nice house.  "It is yours now.  It is your payment for
the tour and putting up with the..... unique circumstances you and Zarth
had been thrust into."  I closed my mouth and looked to the moon, then
back at my body, watching the moonlight play and dance across my scales.
