2Once again [...] the Mountain's light [...]

[...] is your guiding beacon. [...] Follow it and you will never steer wrong.

You – and the crew (to which you now belong) and the captain (to whom the crew owes everything) and anyone else who smells roses on the wind.

You're on the Delight's main deck.
3Birdsong lifts you through the ship. You're buoyed on warbles like soapy bubbles: rainbows in every note. Higher you rise, surrounded by luminous yellows and swirling purples. In your wake, the air eddies with hues that you can hear. You're on the Delight's waist deck.

2Rosy vapours curl like fingertips. They draw you back up the stairs [...]

There are no other vessels around. Your own ship is long gone.

How much time did you spend below-decks? One hour? Two? [...] It's so hard to think with this incense in the air.

You're on the Delight's main deck.
