The time for the Star Gate to open again soon arrived, and Hill anchored his ship beside it.
He intended to be among the first to enter, after all, if that Red Dragon really wanted to pass through, it would certainly be mingled in with the crowd.
But the charging arrival of Agleya made him stop in his tracks.
The Little Sea God had been quite unhappy ever since she learned that the leopard had broken through her blockade and made it here, looking ready to kill.
Hill acted a moment too late to stop her, and Agleya's avatar was already charging at Merkel, her trident moving swiftly.
As Hill hurried to put away Marsha's core box, his white-sailed ship was blasted into a wreck.
Alice, not wanting to be seen, could only float in mid-air, trying to erect a light wall for defense.
"Alice, put your puppets away," Hill said to her, "then hurry and take Merkel through the Star Gate, just wait for me on the other side."
