Baltra arises to her feet and walks the deck of the ship in an unmapped manner. The new tattoo of the strange dream gear on her hand slowly spends.  A sort of new drive awakens within Baltra's spirit.  

She continues her aimless walk among the Stargazer's deck passing by a sleeping Killian as his snores add to the music of the ocean.  The sails begin to falter a bit as her wind invocation is starting to weaken.  She chants the words of the invocation to reset the wind spell.  

"Pnemeia Vortixia!" As Baltra holds her staff toward the skies, she also sees the gear tattoo in her hand start to glow and spend faster. The new glow floods upon her staff from the tattooed gear adding immense power to her wind spell.  A mighty vortex of wind envelops the Stargazer as Baltra can no longer feel the dance of the sea. The Stargazer is still moving forward. Only it is moving in such a way where the oceans now longer carry it.  Baltra walks toward the stern of the ship and discovers that her wind spell is now carrying the ship. The Stargazer is flying above the ocean at an incredible speed. The tattooed gear in Baltra's hand is spinning and glowing a verdant like color of power. A strange symbol is lit at the center of the glowing gear.  Although she has never seen the symbol, she is somehow familiar with it.  The symbol signifies Wind/flight.  

Killian awakes from his exhausted slumber to a calm ship on still waters.  Only he was mistaken as it was a Calm ship on moving clouds.
