"When we make land, you will have the ships taken apart — don't give me that look — taken apart, and remade as vast wheeled carts. We have a long way to go, overland." She sighed.

"How will we propel them?"

"There are powerful creatures in the forest, taller than two men. They will come, to serve me, as you have."

    1. This Goddess is probably in the same universe as my Sorcerer character and the giant Longaminus. I'm sure they'll meet someday. ;-)
