"December 6, Year 13 of the Crossing. The Narwhal is returning to port. During the voyage, two creatures burst out from the water, causing some chaos, but otherwise, everything was normal. The navigational markers are already visible on the sea. We're about to reach Hope Island, but what worries me is Feierbahah. He still hasn't woken up and has remained in a coma. I may not understand much about medicine, but I know this isn't a good sign. He's not the only one. We suffered heavy losses on this voyage: two sailors died, the Second Chief Engineer is dead, the assistant chef lost his left arm, and the chef lost his right leg. On top of that, the navigator has completely lost his mind. The whole ship needs a thorough change of crew. All this was the price for a clue to the Key. I don't know if it was worth it. If the Key is truly there, then perhaps the next adventure will be my last in the Abyss-Sea."
