A month-long journey, and as boring as it was, there was no getting behind it. They were soon going to be in enemy waters, and safe and steady was the way to go so as to not be detected under the radar.
The mages can only do so much before their movements can be detected. So it was better to stray further away from the oddities on the sea that they came across, of which there were many, the uncharted waters were graves for the seafarers, the sea clan and the monsters that live in the water were things of horror. If not for their inability to survive outside of water, the land would have long been occupied by these monsters.
This is why, Wajih used the proper course usually frequented by the merchants, though only from a distance, he didn't dare to stray too far in fear of entering the dangerous territory, nor too close fearing attracting attention.
