After following the advice and information from the aliens they had met earlier, Minos' group continued on their way to The Bland Gulf.
They traveled more cautiously, making a few detours here and there as they cautiously approached their final stop on the continent. After another 15 months of traveling north, the group finally reached their final destination in Oqia.
It was time for them to finally find a crew to take them to Ganaway Refuge, the island 8 months' boat ride from The Bland Gulf!
...
At the dawn of this new day, Minos and his five traveling companions finally glimpsed the great sea they were about to cross.
From where they stood, there was no way to comprehend the terror of that sea. From there, one could only see the beautiful surface of this extreme point of Zocarro, where if one went a few dozen kilometers from the coast, it would be enough to see what it was capable of.
