Walking on the Tightropes

I have huge ethereal arms now. Unlike Captain Herman's, mine is blue, smaller, and has claws. He and Parallax look at me in awe. It's something to be proud of but I'm not all about that. I did this to help. I run to one of the ropes. With my ethereal arms, I grab one of them and pull.

"Woah!" I let out almost throwing myself overboard.

"Steadfast, lad!" Captain Herman advises me.

Oh, that's right! The Steadfast Skill that Parallax taught me! I plant my feet firmly on the deck and use it. I grab the rope again and pull.

*Crack*

Ugh. . . My bones! My bones couldn't handle the tension! Argh! After healing them, I use Ethereal Skirmisher all over my body and then pull the rope again. This time, I'm standing strong and steadily. I feel the Regina getting pulled forward because of my effort.

"Well done!" Captain Herman praises me as he too, pulls the ropes.

"Why did you let him learn it but not me?!" Parallax rages behind us.
