Part 1

The flying ship carrying James, Emma, and Norio sailed through the skies of Karand without incident, and safely arrived in Palisade Bay a few days later. As the ship splashed down into the harbour, James could see Harrod standing on the dock howling in laughter. As James jumped down from the deck, Harrod approached him.

"Flying ships is it, boy? If only your father could have seen this!" Harrod howled, slapping James on the back. "I see you've retrieved your fiance and made a new friend as well."

"She's not my fiance!" James insisted. "She's just a friend!"

"One day you'll understand, boy! Emma, great to see you!" Harrod called out.

"Harrod!" Emma yelled, running up to him and giving him a hug. "It's good to be home. How's my grandfather?"

"Same place you left him, still waiting in the Inn for you to come back." Harrod answered, laughing heartily. "So, who's our new friend?"

"This one is known as Norio. It is a pleasure to meet you, though Norio feels rather cold." Norio said, greeting Harrod.
