“They are intelligent and beautiful,” says Miss Emeline Traveler. “Most especially in their octopi form.”
Visitors, transformed, do not know what to do with their many arms.
“I love it when gulls cry over our ships and warn of storms,” says the Guide. “I love the billowing sails, thunder and whales.”
The ship Superior has a braid of gold and red trim carved all the way around its hull and a giant octopus splayed across its bow. It rides higher and taller and unfurls bigger sails than any other ships in the realm. When it comes ashore in other lands, people recognize the fabled ship. They greet Superiors with goodwill, welcome them, and feed, clothe, and house them with the best they have available.
Fortunately, Superior spends most of its time at sea. The shipmates are nimble and quick and change into octopi-like creatures when they jump into the water. They speak the language of whales. The whales, although too polite to say it, wonder what the Superiors need with their old-fashioned and unwieldy wooden ship.
