A fight at the sea

"Didn't we act rashly? We could have waited and prepared more for this." Alice said with a worried face.

"That won't do, the longer we wait, the more time the Aboleth has to prepare as well. We can't observe him yet he can observe us, the more we wait, the less our odds of winning are." Cain rationalized.

"Cain, care to come here for a moment?" Chad called him from above the flag. How did he get up there so quickly?

Cain flew toward him to see what he had to say. "Is there a problem?"

"I don't know and that's why I called you here, look there." Chad pointed toward the horizon.

Cain focused as hard as he could but couldn't tell anything, all he saw was the blue sky, a few white clouds, and the endless sea.

"Those clouds at the distance, aren't they moving a bit too fast?" Chad said with a worried voice.

"I can't tell anything, do you think it's a storm? Have you ever sailed a ship?" Cain asked, if they were in trouble or if there was a storm coming, it was better to prepare.
