Xil returns to the lower parts of the ship to retrieve Guang.
The serpent shaped ship actually propels itself by underwater barrels which push water away, propelling the ship forward in the process. Had she not been in such a hurry get into the ship, she would’ve noticed it earlier.
Xil takes the horse to main deck, emerging near a tall, tree like structure designed to resemble a swarm of serpents which adorn the tail end of the ship.
Since most of the people on the main deck are on the central structure or on the front, most do not take notice of her. Being one third of most people’s height also helps.
To not make a scene, Guang merely drops down to the ocean instead of jumping into it.
The freezing cold waters made Xil flinch briefly, but she quickly adjusts to it.
Like before, she propels herself by using the gravity enchanted barrels of her firearms.
One key difference from the Great Sorrow’s ocean is the amount of wildlife near the surface.
Aquamarine in color and embroidered with gold accessories as the angels, swarms of fishes observe Xil from a distance.
The masses swirl around her as she continues to blast herself and her horse forward. Their mouths constantly move, but their words are indecipherable.
This swarm that constantly follows her continues doing so for several minutes.
…
The ocean rumbles.
All of them can feel the earthquake like vibrations coming from the depths of the lazulite blue water.
From the shadowy depths emerge a fish with emerald skin and gold jewelry that is larger than any boulder and longer than a road she has seen.
The gold decorated eye of the fish glares at the hoard and addresses them in a language that can be understood by them and her.

•I Will Step In And Offer Assistance•
Those words, spoken in almost robotic tone, makes the entire school of smaller fishes freeze.
The fish turns its attention to Xil and her horse.

[That steep island over there. The one where that flying vehicle landed on. Those birdmen fixing the thing might have some spare wings.]
Xil telepathically answers the fish.
