Aredfln responds to Andrea about himself
Aredfln brushes his necklength silver waves behind his ears and beams with glee at the invitation to discuss himself. He clears his throat and begins his tale.
Aredfln-[Imperial]:
"When a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Cerau of Green River
Along came this song
From when the two roses bloomed
An ill fated romance
From worlds too different were they
At the palace they held their last dance
But then came me
With newborn glee
Broke down guarded hearts
And forced a new family to start
While the great father
Exiled my mother
My father lost hope
To this ship I did lope
Toss a smile to your Orphan
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’ Valley of Plenty
O’
Toss a smile to your Orphan
O’ Valley of Plenty"
The crew bound to enact Edmond's orders. The front sails and steering fins are unfurled while the second smoke stack is started to fill the forward compartment of the primary Ozcrow (balloon).The compartments stretch out taught against the suspension rack and the tell tale creaking of ascent sounds out from prow to aft. The excitment amidst the crew is palpable.
The Espiegel floats upward with grace guided by her 6 tethers. At twenty feet above the dock Edmond calls out the command to release the tethers. The ship and it's crew rise with increased speed and gains nearly one hundred feet in the first minute without anything snapping, a feat not thought possible a decade ago.
Minutes later the harbormaster and dockhands are like ants on the backdrop of Heluso. Verdant green hills and budding forests are visible for miles around the city. "Up" in the distance your path is clear: The empire.
A faded green speck is spotted by one of the crew positioned by the prow. They send the notice down the line that a ship matching Tuwan's description is in sight.
Edmond takes the discovery to Finch personally and asks him "A viridian lumberbird travels Ia! Wha tha' commandeth o've tha windward loyals Cap-tane?"

The Espiegel rides fast on favorable winds. The first few hours of the voyage are a rushed orientation but the crew acclimates specific workings of their new ship. There are not enough among the new recruits to operate the cannons as well as the steering sails. Orkan, Andrea and her retinue will be responsible for firing munitions if the need arises.A faded green speck is spotted by one of the crew positioned by the prow. They send the notice down the line that a ship matching Tuwan's description is in sight.
