As they began their return voyage, they entered the most tedious yet unavoidable part of the journey: sailing in the dark sea.
Alka hurried out of the cabin carrying Gami and quickly took him to the medical room next to the captain's quarters, where Vanessa was treating Gami.
Just a moment ago, Alka had been in the cabin with Gami, learning some forging techniques. Together, they were researching and improving the Soul-Host Puppet. They had been researching together for some time, as one always needed to find something to do during the boring hours at sea.
Then, Gami heard whispers. Coupled with his already weak constitution, Alka had to carry him to the medical room.
"We've been in the Realm of Pitch Darkness too long; everyone has been affected to varying degrees."
Jason also hurried over and stood by Alka, saying this.
He had heard the whispers for the second time yesterday. Luckily, Vanessa was nearby and quickly treated him.
